What Is Your Niche?


This week on Tuesday, senior day, I found this Asian vase.  It is Japanese and was made at the end of the 19th century.  Usually I don't feel drawn to Asian art for some reason. But this vase I was one I couldn't put back on the shelf.  Probably due to historical significance.  I have some preferences.  I don't like art with fish or cherubs (which be very Victorian, go figure).  I pass on clowns, and tribal masks, for sure.  Usually I pass on figurines of animals, except cats.  I like bird figurines, and I bought a decoy duck.  It's interesting to discover what your own personal taste is when thrifting.  It can be surprising.

Leon - Family

Image
We have two kitties.  You've met Toby.  This is Leon.  We rescued him in 2011.  He'll be 12 years old.  He's has been nervous and scared all his life.  We actually found him hiding under his little box in his cage.  It took him years to be truly loving towards us.  He acts like a big brother to Toby.  You can find them playing at 5 am, or Leon licking Toby's face, or Leon backing off his food so Toby can have some.  He loves to go to curl up with Kari or lay at the foot (on top) of my bed.  He's our senior cat.  We love him ❤️

Goodbye August Hello September

Yesterday was Young at Heart.  Then the boys and I went to Denny's to get our birthday breakfast.  It was fun to spend time with both boys at the table. I believe we should do that more often.   I then dropped off library books and went to Trades Joes.  Later I took a good nap.  Wednesday I didn't do much at all.  I did begin to reassess goals extra due to the month and season changing.

Brady's Flowers

Riley started something with giving flowers.  Today Brady and I (Brady drove) to Trader Joe's and he bought his friend Angel some flowers.  It was all him.  He thought Riley was a good roll model.  He'll give them to her tomorrow at a BBQ at her family's house.
