A cat… and no mouse

Here’s a bit of family news… we’ve got a cat! Actu­ally it’s Alison’s new cat, but we are all def­i­nitely enjoy­ing it!

At our pump­kin carv­ing party, my brother Ken asked if any­body wanted a cat. His neigh­bor in Mil­waukie had been taking care of an aban­doned cat and was look­ing for a home for it. Usu­ally when any­body asks that ques­tion, the answer is quick and def­i­nite “No, Thanks!”

But the idea had been dis­cussed at our dinner table a few weeks prior to this, so we were open to the pos­si­bil­ity. Within a day or so, Alison decided the time was right. So the arrange­ments were made, and Ken and Tonya’s neigh­bors per­son­ally deliv­ered it out here to Dundee! This man and his wife have placed sev­eral res­cued cats in the Port­land area, and really care about their well-​being.

This cat (not named yet) is very friendly (unlike our last one!) and gets to be inside (also unlike our last one!).

A sign of good things!

Here’s Ian from Sign-​On installing the new sign this morning!

Ooo… great loca­tion! (Is that Coffee Cot­tage right across the street?)

Here’s Deanne! Poor girl, the sun was directly in her eyes, and all the people in the cars going by were watch­ing, but hey, it was a spe­cial moment to capture!

Fun with large orange vegetables

Here are some shots from our Sat­ur­day night pumkin carvin’ party. Thanks to Deanne for the pictures!
