FARMINGTON CARRIAGE HOUSE

LOUISVILLE, KY

More Cat Stuff The purple cat was Raylan's. It purred - he liked that one. The little white seal was a gift from a park ranger, the teddy bear was a gift from a friend, one fridge magnet was my Mom's (Max), one was a gift from a friend (Coho) and the cat's pajamas were a gift from my deceased 2nd husband's sister. There are still more once we carefully clear all the nooks and crannies from both of our places.

Cat Fish TV Now this little aquarium was Raylan's. He had a very complex mind however in his last years simply enjoyed laying in front of this aquarium watching fish go by. It is electric but used minimal power. It had a nice sound to it and did emit heat which Raylan also enjoyed at times.

Cat Toys
Ocelot Remover Now we have the task to decide how to (or if) we will disperse decades worth of pet toys. The grieving process is a slow one. This little bank was cute. One of the cats (Raylan) had learned to tap the nickel placed on top, the little white cat could reach out to grab it which would then go into the bank. Carly just watched him do it.
Same Wonderful Golfer Different Shoes Adjusting to life without a pet. Some days it's easier and some days it's difficult. We have a slew of cat paraphernalia gathered up and it's a bit difficult to move past it. For now, a ceramic tabby is filling in.
Louisville, Kentucky Kentucky is a southeastern state bounded by the Ohio River in the north and the Appalachian Mountains in the east, with Frankfort the state capital. The state's largest city, Louisville, is home to the Kentucky Derby, the renowned horse race held at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. The race is preceded by a 2-week festival and celebrated in the Kentucky Derby Museum year-round.
Banking on Rocks This local bank had the idea to protect itself by removing the flowers and bushes and placing rocks, possibly to shield it's front from "drive-thru" customers. Cost saving on landscaping. I love the design change...it's original. I'm sure each rock has a history and story, even perhaps a name and type. One rock appears to be mooning passers-by. I didn't take it personally. On this date in time this rock grouping is one short of a dozen. Perhaps they represent board members or customers who count. I know I do.
Sinh Update 2024 Saw Sinh yesterday and he looked fantastic. He is very busy yet gladly took a moment to say hello - he liked my phone today. Sinh has a lot of lucky cats - see the one on the top shelf behind him? He's 47 now.

Resilient Mark showing me his twin double-dragon tattoos. He said "that was one of the biggest mistakes of my life". The pizza as always was comforting. Congrats to the FLICKR software engineers for correcting the O'Bannon glitch. I certainly noticed.
Down the rabbit hole Mural artist: @gapeone In the days of the 21st Century's internet and social media, we are in a position to better appreciate Lewis Carroll's 19th Century insights of getting sucked down a rabbit hole into a surreal crazy land. “The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.” [from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll]
