Home, And What I Found There

I think all the kitties were happy to see me, though I also think they are equally happy when I’m gone and they can scamper in and out of the house, playing and napping at will. Come to think of it, I’d like that.
When I adopted the boys, the shelter workers told me that they were very happy and affectionate kittens. I thought they were just saying that, but it has turned out to be true. They took turns sitting on my lap that evening and both slept with me (Audrey, of course, slept regally on her throne). And I’m glad that they all get along, whether I’m away or not. Audrey still isn’t their biggest fan, but there’s hardly any growling or swiping these days.

I could see that Rob had been at work during my absence. He found these cupboards somewhere and installed them:
No easy task with the curved wall and heater, etc. to deal with.
After he put the cupboards up, he decided that it was too dark to see into the cupboards, which he also decided was unacceptable. The cowboy lamp, though fabulous, does not shed a lot of light.
He got a fixture at the thrift store for $2.50 and wired it into the same switch as the cowboy lamp. Let there be light:
Outside, I discovered that a little rose which I thought was dead was in bloom:
All in all, a nice welcome home.
