The photos are of McCoon (my name for him), Michael's new cat. He is classic for Maine Coon Cat and a very high on cute. Or was, when I was there -- by now he could be thirty pounds and mean as a wild hog but-I-don't-think-so. Mike and Amanda are wonderful with their pets.

Hi people. I am still househunting. We will stay here for at least a month; however, I'd like to be moved in to have Christmas in a new location. Flagstaff may have snow, but certainly there will be church services, and music, and perhaps a bell choir concert. (I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.) I have placed several applications with property managers. We need to find just exactly the right place for our pets -- a major consideration and a major hurdle. I keep threatening Vern with living in a yurt on national forest land. Can't you just picture it? When we get an address ... and a phone and an internet hookup ... you will be the first to know. I can buy a wireless hookup membership at Barnes & Noble, so I won't be offline for long. Ain't modern technology wunnerful? Bear with me, folks. I'm sorting, boxing, taping and labelling like a mad fiend.
