Today was a beautiful day. Yesterday's rains blew all the clouds away and cleaned the air, and we woke up to sunshine! However, the keeper went to her office and we stayed in. Sigh. We know that the raccoons and another cat have been in our spaces though. Alice saw them in the night when we were all tucked in. She was at the window.
The keeper came home in the later aft and we hoped we would be going out, but she let us run around from the back to the side door, bribed us back in with treats, switched carrying cases, and left again for the cathedral where she was going to read. She got there early enough to marvel at the unbelievable sky and clouds hanging over the downtown. Then she found out that she really wasn't reading because it was an archdiocesan Mass for MLK, Jr. with the African American/African community. She stayed for the liturgy which went a bit long. But appreciated hearing the Gospel beat again. A young man named James offered a long, but passionate reflection on Rev. Dr. MLK, Jr.'s "Letter from the Birmingham Jail." The AB did a good job of preaching the readings and the life of MLK, Jr. As always, the keeper ran into friends and former parishioners. A good day, ending with a call from her brother to plan a Hawaii vacation.
We watched a very moving ad for the Humane Society on tv. It showed dogs who had been abandoned, cats who had been beaten, another cat who looked so ill which asked the question, " Will I die today?" We suggested that the keeper send all the money she has left over from paying our vet bills to this organization. She was tempted. But declined. We want them to know we appreciate all the work they do to save our friends.
