We went to Best Buy Tuesday morning and bought the kids a washer and dryer…I just couldn’t bear having them have to go to a laundromat one more time…especially in a new city they know nothing about…The joy, appreciation and delight on both of their faces made it all worthwhile.  Above is a picture of Phoenix (Luke’s main cat) and Zelda (Kate’s main cat and my grandcat).  Also included one of Kate’s collections – owls.  The apple didn’t fall far from the tree – she, also, loves “stuff”.
