This is cat 1, and yes, there is a cat 2.

Billie and Jango. The newest addition to the little family. Chickens, now kittens!

I actually held them, and I wasn’t afraid! Long may it last.

My Godmother Mary is an amazing woman, her heart is golden, and her bones ivory. Her home is a sanctuary where darkness has no room. When she embraces me, I know the meaning of heaven on earth.

Mary collects feelings, weaving them into soft spots. Her ear is ready to listen far into the night. When I am with her there is no other place I would rather be, she captivates my imagination and makes me laugh.

Seldom does anyone leave her home empty handed. I leave with a car full, and a spirit that soars.

If I could spend a million years with her I would never know boredom, and I am not exaggerating. She is just too good to be true.

Lovenote

Certainly the day she was born earth was a better place, heaven touched the ground and sang. My Godmother shares abundantly, she doesn’t know the word selfish, she puts everyone on a throne.

Cups

I haven’t had tea in the same cup twice. Mary finds her treasures at yard sales. She told me she cannot leave anything behind, especially if it is chipped or cracked. I believe Mary knows that being broken is being made whole.

Linensmary

You might say pink is Mary.

Rosy and True. Her beauty stems from caring for others. She has a knack for unfolding people’s pain and given them a bundle of courage to carry on. Mary has a healing touch.

My Godmother is a creative, artistic woman, and she uses her talents to make the world a better place.

Pink silk and a velvet flower

Far too pretty for a bull fight in Arles
