Zorro and Shoko always

Today started out with a phone call from Takumi! Surprise! He rarely calls but he was visiting my mother so I got to talk with both of them at the same time. Sigh... Both my kids say that reading my blog is too much of a bother. I guess I write too much for them. They both like my pictures though and today I got a request from Takumi to post a picture of one of our cats who disappeared a few years ago. Zorro! Zorro is the only cat we've ever had that regularly jumped down from the roof to the yard and then went exploring. I had to lock doors or else he'd escape! He lived up to his name! Zorro was another cat that the old dog Shoko helped "nurse". Zorro used Shoko as a pacifier up to the very end. (Here's Shoko dressed in one of my fleece shirts trying to keep warm She was an old dog!)

And here's a picture of me that Tetsu snapped the other morning. He thought my flip-flops were cute but I said I'd already posted a picture of them so he snapped a full picture!
