Mostly Napping

Allie's as tired of having her house in disarray as we are. We've had painters here last week and again this week. Last night she found what must have looked to her like the best option for repose in the living room.  

The theme of the paint job is "out with the old" (tan) and "in with the new" (white). Although to say "out with the old" suggests we had something to do with the tan walls, which we most definitely did not.

On Sunday we took a break from the chaos to drive up to Sun City and visit Brad's parents. Allie always comes along and she does some of her best napping on their patio.

Speaking of napping, earlier this month Peter and Jessa's cats show they have excellent napping skills too.

Not to be outdone by Allie, let alone by two cats, are Sirius and Simba. These two have taken their napping to a new level: they not only get to recline on a leather couch but they get to sleep in front of a woodburning stove. Now that's the life!

And from napping, we turn to a different subject. Earlier in February, Mary bought her very first car at the ripe old age of 28. I think Peter was 30 when he got his first car, which makes him the longest holdout of the Harrison offspring, but she came in a close second. (A car will be a necessity for her to interview for jobs and go to work in Baltimore.) This beauty was delivered straight from San Diego, where it lived for seven years in my aunt and uncle's garage and accumulated just 20,000 miles before Mary purchased it and had it shipped across the country.
