Update on some of the box o' kittens. Happily we have a lot of staff, quite a few of whom now have new fluffy feline friends. Here are two, brother and sister, feisty and getting bigger by the day. 🐱💜

I had a very satisfying afternoon tucking flower bulbs into their earthy beds for the winter. Cannot wait to see them come up as blooms in the spring! Fred was less amused. Any bulb time is time not spent on cat-scritches. He screeches in protest and gives me the most reproachful looks!

He may be stubbornly resistant to traveling to us for a visit, but I am very grateful for my dad. And it makes me miss my father-in-law that much more. He was so proud of putting this waterfall into the garden. It was his favorite place to sit and listen and think...

These are the (entirely non-creepy) purchases I actually made. I think I showed great restraint, under the circumstances! 🤣 💜

Got lost in a delightfully dusty, warehouse-like, used book (and any other things) store this past weekend. Don't know why, as there were plenty of helpful directions to anywhere you wanted to go...

Still a little dazed by the number of people at Gen Con. And my face is still aching from laughing so hard at the live shows. For anyone planning a future trip, highly recommend both the D&D Live! And the Faster, Purple Worm! Kill Kill! Shows💜

Definite highlight of the trip: evening spent with some of the Legends of the Realms who graciously and generously give their time to be inundated with nerdy cocktails and even more nerdy questions. 💜

More Gen Con fun/cosplay. From one dice goblin to another, the Dice Lady is a mad genius and I am totally stealing her idea. I may just go beyond necklace and belt territory and into dice dress-land.
