Lunch with my little brother and his wife yesterday was very nice. I met them at their hotel and we walked across the road to a restaurant on the waterfront where we had a delicious lunch (I had a salmon burger, with a salad and fries), and a glass of beer. Unfortunately the view was less than advertised, due to the cloudy weather, but we had a good look at some of the fancy boats moored there. One of the more spectacular views was our server's hair..it was truly a work of art. She had a straight bob, dyed white, with bangs and sides that were dyed bright pink, electric blue, and emerald green..it was eyecatching and totally beautiful. She was young and hip looking, and carried the look off very well. I couldn't stop looking at the hair. We made sure to tell her how gorgeous it was, because art should be appreciated, no matter what the form.

Today was a lovely sunny day for a change, of course, because my brother and sister-in-law were leaving. That's how it works, it seems.

Went out to the farm this morning, and got stuck in a humungus traffic jam. Took me twice as long to get there as usual. Grrrr. I will be so glad when they finally get all that road construction done. Makes me very cranky, it does.

Stripey the barn cat has disappeared again. Sue is very upset, but hopeful that she'll come back like she did before. Stripey is one of those adventurous cats who likes to go hunting all the rabbits and mice we have in the bushes, so I hope she's just off having a good time, and will be back. It's hard not to worry, but we can't keep her locked up all the time, so we just have to hope she's okay. A few good thoughts for her safe return would be appreciated.
