Three beautiful things from the past week:

1. On our last day in Salt Lake, we awake to snow. It continues floating down off and on all afternoon, making us feel like we’re living in a snowglobe.

2. I have unsuccessfully been hunting for a new pair of jeans for a while now. The Fred Meyers that is no longer Fred Meyers helps me out with a pair of Lees (and two pairs of Valentine’s Day socks).

3. Sarah, Amani, and I have dinner. The three of us haven’t gotten together in a while and are having such a good time chatting that it is nearly midnight before I catch Bikeshare home.

And as a bonus beautiful things, Rudi suggests you all might enjoy seeing the boys hanging out together:

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world this week?

This is what happens when you ask a cat which yarn you should use to make mittens:

Dear Corey,

A year ago, on Sept. 5, 2010, as Rudi and I were about to head home after the lovely wedding of our friends Amani and Marcus, we encountered a kitten out in the parking lot. It was obvious to us that he was lost, as a banquet hall, mall, business park, and hotel do not normally house small cats, even ones who scamper up trees as quickly as this one did that night. A call to the police department referred us to animal control, who were off for the holiday weekend.

Last week, I scooped Jeremiah up and he settled right into my arms. I asked Rudi to take few shots.

Don’t we look happy?

We are.

A purrfectly content boy.

Thank you for stopping by.

Soe can’t come to the blog right now. After that meeting that took her away too early and kept her away too late on the days she’s supposed to lie around cushioning me, she caught some sort of sniffly thing that she says has turned into a sinus infection and a really obnoxious cough that keeps waking me up when I lie between her and Rudi.

So I’m forced to lie above her head instead. It’s a rough life. I appreciate your checking to see how I’m doing. I’m sure I’ll be fine soon.

Truly,

Della
