02/03/2006: "new friends"
we went to coffee this morning and ran in to some friends from the Boulder PhD days also having coffee and enjoying a bit of quiet. they live here in the cities too, but we never seem to quite hook up with them - we should be better about that. anyhow, as we sat down we discovered a brand new tiny girl has joined the family. (we didn't even know that they were expecting, it's been that long.) in any case, we got to meet sophia, who is a week and a half old and super cute.
after they went off to get on with the day, i wandered through the flower shop next door and met raffia and zella, the shop cats. raffia, an orange tabby, was sitting on a shoulder supervising a flower arrangement being made. zella (a tiny black and white kitten) was peeking out at me from behind leaves and pouncing on things. the shop girls told me that zella is there for "day care" because when they were going to spay her, the vet discovered that she had a serious heart murmur. because her people don't want her to be totally on her own during the day, she gets to come to the flower shop and hang out there. (i think zella and my cat-brother lucifer must be cousins)
