At the fair...

Have you ever seen anything as large as these horns? This animal is called a Watusi and it's from Africa. An attraction at the fair we went to today. There were plenty of other animals, but this one is note worthy.

I have a wonderful cake decorator instructor. She's smart, has patience, is kind and really knows her stuff. I hope to continue with the new lineup of classes that she is now teaching. You can view some of the designs of her students and her class schedule. We all try very hard to make masterpieces of our cakes.

Shadow posing and other tidbits...

Here is a picture of my neighbor's cat, Shadow. I love animals. Dogs and cats. I've had 4 of my own and many acquaintances. I remember Rusty, the little tan dog with the wavy fur. and Mickey, the ferocious Doberman. Pixie, Lady Jane, Boo and Scotty were my pets. I remember the first animal I fell in love with. It was in Brigantine that I found a stray cat. I fed it, played with it. My family was none too happy with the cat. It didn't come in the house and I wonder, now, where I got the food to feed it. Anyway, there was a terrible storm, maybe a hurricane. The cat somehow drowned. I remember the stiff little body on the shovel my dad used to discard the carcass. I was the only one that seemed to care that this little bit of fur had succumbed to the storm. I remember sitting on one of the six beds in the "girls' room" and crying. My heart was broken. That was the first time my heart was broken over an animal, but certainly not the last.
