I’ve said before how much I love it when my parents come out for a visit. This weekend was another wonderful example of why. New York is beautiful in the Fall, I must admit. The brisk weather, sweaters and scarves, the rich colors are irresistible. The weather cooperated with us for the most part, and I even took Monday off to extend the weekend. It was perfect weekend to spend with my family!
Well, it’s October. That means it’s time to winterize stuff. The motorcycle, the lawn mower, my parents. Mom and Dad will be heading to Florida for the impending doom…I mean winter. Sadly, that means that they will have to find another home for one of their cats, Dandelion. Don’t be fooled by the name. He’s no flower. If you’re a sissy then he’s not the cat for you. However, if you can bench more than 70 pounds and wear a lot of leather, then you’ve met your match. Dandelion, albeit a tad rough around the edges, is friendly and enjoys the company of humans. He loves to be pet and will always greet you at the door with a hello and a hefty shove to the knee area which is his version of a welcome home rub.
