Hi nettak & mouse,
The sun is shining away down here!
I hadn't realised that this story on cats had been done before! I just saw it this morning and liked it.
How come my sig. line isn't showing up. Nobody leaves the room until they confess!
Flat chat here, a ton of work still to get through and three golf tournaments to play in between now and next Sunday. Won the one I was playing in yesterday.
Before I forget. Thanks netta for your verse. It was very poignant. We used it on the wreath for Katy. The funeral is on Wednesday.
Bob, Downunder but never down.

I am thinking of you and wishing you all well, especially your son. He is going to need your strength to get through this very sad and trying time and I know that you will be there for him every step of the way.
You are very welcome for the verse, I wanted something that would maybe reflect your feelings. I am glad if it helped.
It's still cute!
