Home now. We had a lovely warm drive up the coast. The cats and I both do better with the top down. They don’t cry as much and just stare out of their carriers at the trees flashing by. It must seem like a really great big TV. Or maybe they’re so terrified that they can’t open their mouths to scream. I don’t think it’s that, though.
They’re prowling now. Digit is upset. But hey, he’s always upset about something, isn’t he? Adah has settled right in, and she went straight to her new scratching post and scratched it. How does she KNOW to do that?
Mom and I had a wonderful day yesterday, chock full of things neither of us had to do. The best kinds of things, like lunch at Robin’s in Cambria, sitting on their outdoor porch, avocado and melted jarlsberg on a wheat croissant…. Shopping idly at Ball and Skein, buying nothing (what is this world coming to?). Wandering up the coast a little farther, to Piedras Blancas, where the elephant seals lay out. Holy cow, I love those things. They’re just too silly looking to survive, and yet, they do. The big males are pretty darn disgusting (they can reach over nine thousand pounds), but all the moms and babies are hysterical. They yell and bawk and squish over each other, and they make me laugh.
A bunch of ’em:
One smiling:
Two smiling:
Ahh, it looks so beautiful there! Great happy shot of you and your mom too 🙂
contagious smiles!!
I have been meaning to ask you — how do you get those buttons to scroll in your sidebar?
Beauty pic of you and your mom. (Nice to see a picture of her where she isn’t a tiny figure in the distance/background – now I can put a face to the name.) Elephant seals *are* ridiculous-looking creatures, aren’t they? Just proves that God has a sense of humour.
Do elephant seals bark the way the sea lions do? One of my best memories of SF was hearing the sea lions long before we saw them and wondering what the heck is that??
Aww, look at you and your little mama! What a nice photo. The seals are great too. (Nine THOUSAND pounds?!)
Elephant Seals?! Ok, that trumps the cyotes I saw this past weekend.
Have a great week!
What a sweeeeeeeeeeet picture of you and your Mom. Adorable matching smiles!
You are darlings 🙂
Aww…that picture makes me smile, too. Awesome.
Yay for you and little Mama. Smiles all around. Glad the cats are adjusting….
Great entry — love ALL the pix. I hope I get to bask in the sun like a seal ~ but I’m more likely to be chasing a certain wee one. A pat of encouragement to Digit . . .
Great pics!
You really do have a wonderful life!
Awww, you two are adorable! Glad you had a good trip and that the felines are settling in well.
Could you guys be any cuter?
And 9000 lbs? Really? That’s crazy!
Glad the kitties are adjusting. 🙂 Great pic of you and little mama! She looks like she is feeling good. Who took the pic? And I love the smily seal pic. So funny.
So glad your mom is feeling better! What a beautiful day you guys had. I was going to tell you to call Hedi & Jon, but alas, too late! I’m sure Digit likes the new place–he’s just being contrary!
We’re in Chicago and I finally got to a computer and WOW! You and your mama are so so cute! Makes me smile! We miss you so much…thanks for everything…apologize to the cats for us!
