So thankful that Noli (Cannoli) is back! Friday evening he followed Otter and Jenny off on a little toot. They came back before dark but he didn't.
Justin went looking for him to no avail. And the next morning, still no Noli. We texted neighbors and Claui put his picture on FaceBook.
It's awful when a pet goes missing. A great heaviness descends and you imagine worst case scenarios. A neighbor mentioned having seen a bear recently and and, as the hours dragged on, that kept nagging at us. Noli is a sweetie-pie but would he have the sense to get away from a bear?
But then, oh joy, early yesterday afternoon Noli sauntered into his front yard, apparently undamaged by his night out.
And there was great rejoicing.
Another thing I'm particularly thankful for is that, after an operation, my and Josie's friend Sandy has gotten some measure of relief from terrible back pain.
And, as long as I'm being thankful, the judge's order to remove the stain from the Kennedy Center is delightful. As is the news that artist after artist is declining to perform at POTUS's 250 event. Hoorah for them!
May there be more good news soon!
