A girl - Sidney. She meows really loud and is silly. I have another cat too - a boy, Wesley. He is super sweet.

I'm sorry about venus.

Oh, how awesome.

I would love to see them.
And my dad's name was Sidney.

Hope you're having a lovely day Julia....I need to get dressed and go for a walk in this beautiful sunshine. Time to see a bit more of German Village.

I have a grandchild called "Sydney". She does not meow a lot but is quite beautiful, which makes up for that. My father in law was named "Sidney". He did meow in a low sometimes overbearing way, but that's what father in laws are supposed to do anyway.
I had an obscure very distant relative and have an engraving of him walking down the street with Wesley, not the cat but John Wesley, the minister. It quotes him as saying, "Eighty seven years have I sojourned on this earth, endeavoring to do good...." I'm ninety years old pretty soon and have been endeavoring to do good for only 29 years, since I got into recovery . John Wesley's Methodists were not suppose to drink. I was at first a Presbyterian- predestination!. Saying I was predestined to drink seems like "passing the buck", as the blokes say! These days I'm fond of the Tao, which is like a cat. Knows everything but ain't sayin' nothin'. Like a cat. Inscrutable. Impossible to unscrew the Inscrutable!

And these: apparently they are Ranunculus.

Very gorgeous - such bright and lovely colors

Suze, Don't know if Nick has a Costco membership, but they have lots of flowers and shrubs, this time of year, for terrific prices

I always thought a viola was a musical instrument. Is there a flower called "violin", another "cello"? Viola d'Amore! (That's what you need!).

I heart Costco....on a week day when it's not so crowded.

Pretty flowers!!!

Hope you're settling into Ohio nicely.

I love Costco too! I always leave with more than I needed though. The books are dangerous for me to walk by, somehow I end up with several in my cart.

I'm planning a Costco run today. They built a new one about 5 minutes from my house and I love it! I will have to check out the plants.

But then again, you gotta eat. You can't get far on soap bubbles! Pass the salt please! Right now I'm in for a toasted cheese sandwich! If you don't put something in that Buddhist's begging bowl they might get you reincarnated into a cockroach. Better play it safe!
Bon appetit!

Hi Suze:
If this is your first visit to Australia, I have made arrangements to have your flight met by Crocodile Dundee, who will take you directly on walkabout to the outback to meet the Dream People. As you may have heard these handsome and cordial folk can predict the future and otherwise check things out.. You may want them to make a last minute check on Nick in case anything may have been overlooked. Nick's current ratings in the U.S. are reported to be extremely high and in Las Vegas the odds on a successful marriage are running 500 to 1. If Crocodile Dundee takes you to a bar don't get upset if the Aussies throw each other against the wall and break a few legs, heads, etc. They mean well but they like to get lots of exercise, particularly the more lively ones with Scotch/Irish ancestry, with a little bit of Polish and Russian thrown in! Just hide under the tables and drink Low Calorie Cola.
Don't try playing the didgeridoo because you may get termites in your mouth (they are hollowed out by termites) and I know you are a vegetarian. Also you may be "allergic" to termites.
Good luck, you "bloke", "mate", etc.

Suze will be landing at LAX very soon, and then there is a long layover before her flight to Melbourne.

What she is doing is very stressful... The preparation for travel was stressful, the flights themselves are brutal, and her time in Australia is not fun (though I am hoping she can get some rest!).

She will need our support tonight

Suze, you definitely have mine.
