Did we ever contribute to the well-being of the household today! The keeper went off to SU for a presentation and came home for lunch before going to the office. She let us out while she prepared herself a little lunch. We rushed right out and guess what I brought to the back door...
a little rat! I know how much she spent this winter getting rid of them. So, I dropped it at her feet outside the door. She brought out a spinach container and coaxed it inside. So we were allowed to admire our catch. So we had fun watching it. And it watched us back. Finally when the keeper went to work, she took it and let it out into the forest. We think the little guy was shocked to find himself free. But we strutted around like the proud hunters we were. The keeper gave us pieces of turkey for lunch and salmon for dinner.
After we calmed down about our catch, she told us about the profound presentation her friend T gave at SU for her M Div. Synthesis: how her indigenous roots feed and challenge her baptismal call into Christianity. As she began the talk, she opened a red woven package and drew forth the mantle placed on the shoulders of leaders in her indigenous community and wrapped it around herself. At the end of her presentation, the class affirmed her priesthood and called her to be the theological bridge between her indigienous roots and the Christian tradition. We would like to see the feathery serpent called Quetzcuatl. We doubt that we could catch it though.
Then, being churchy cats, we were thrilled to know that the word reredos was used in the last rounds of the Scripps Spelling Bee.
