Photo Friday: Frankie Surveys His Territory


Our association comprises six houses arranged in an L shape around a common vacant lot. Between each house and on each end is a six to eight-foot decorative wall. Frankie had jumped onto these walls about three times and attempted to jump a couple more times before I stopped him.

Here he is on the wall at the opposite end from our house. I think he has declared the entire area his.

Hanging With Mama


Often, when Rose and I sat down to watch television, Chris would get on the sofa and lie next to me. Usually, he would be half on and half off my lap. After a while, he would decide I had enough attention, and it was Mama’s turn. he would walk over to her and lie down at her side. I found this photo from the first of August that shows this. On this day, Frankie happened to be there first, but that was more of an exception than the rule.

Rose returned from her cruise on Thursday. That evening she was saddened to know Chris would not be joining her on the sofa.
