Pam's Perusal

A cold rainy Sunday afternoon…the perfect time to pour another cup of coffee (half caff) and blog!
This past Friday, we started our day by going to the home of a lady that had advertised some furniture on the radio. (We are in the market for furnishings for our KY house.) She had a wonderful pine bench that now lives at our place! It turns out she just moved here from GA, just about 30 minutes from our GA home! We really enjoyed talking to her; it seems that we have a lot in common! But, what I really must tell you about is her CATS! Now, I have always considered myself a “dog person,” but I have NEVER seen cats like these. Donna raises and shows Oriental Short-Hair Cats, and they are perfectly exquisite! They are beautiful (tall, slim, slinky, and graceful,) and their personalities are equally incredible - friendly and playful…just adorable! At any rate, I was completely smitten, and I sincerely hope that there is an Oriental SH in my future!
Later that day, we attended a “Farm, Home, and Garden Expo” here in Columbia (KY.) It was a great source of info and was an interesting way to meet a good number of the locals. There were helpful booths from area businesses, lots of friendly people, and even a free meal at suppertime!
That evening, we scouted out a music “jam” that we had heard about at the local music store. (Brian and Kayla feel it is an absolute necessity to visit a music store in every town that we are ever in!) We met more locals and played and sang with them for a while…
It was an interesting experience, but we all left smelling like we had worked as chimney sweeps for a week…it seems that an obscene amount of people in Kentucky smoke!
All in all, we had a full, fun day; it was especially nice because we had decided that we would take the day off from working at our place. The weather was ratty and rainy, but we spent all day inside at some place or the other, so that didn’t much matter! Of course, for me, the highlight of the day was meeting Donna and her impressive cats! (You can scope out these cats online, but websites don’t do them justice…you simply must meet one in person!)
