Labor Day Kitten

Michael, Megan and Katherine came by for Labor Day. We watched a DVD that I had transferred from video from 1988 when Michael was 6, Katherine 4 and Jamie 2. It was cute to watch, but we had another cutie on hand:

Meet Baxter, Michael and Megan's new kitten! This sweet little guy was a stray who got stuck under their porch. No one claimed him and the mother cat seemed to have lost interest, so they took him in. He is sooo tiny. We guess he's barely six weeks old.

Of course, I took my share of holding him, between getting food ready. We had a very nice dinner of burgers, honey-grilled shrimp, shrimp cocktail, fall-off-the-bone ribs, bacon-wrapped mushrooms and dessert, of course. I made peanut butter squares and Mike bought a chocolate cake. Oh, and I made salsa from heirloom tomatoes I bought at the local farmstand. And corn on the cob! Yes, a real feast.

When they went home, Megan carried Baxter Kitty in her hood, lol:

Fun at a Grocery

We went to a place called Stew Leonard's last night. I've  never been there. It is unlike any grocery I have ever been to!

Me and Clover the cow. (Ignore my goofy look, I was talking to the camera.) There are animated figures all over the place, even hanging from the ceiling!

Food was interesting and some of the sale stuff was pretty reasonable. Not too impressed with the bakery, as I couldn't find rye bread (!) but maybe that's 'cause we went on a Friday night. I got a half cherry pie (delicious), some whipped cream and some chocolate milk (also delicious) plus some ribs for Labor Day bbq on Monday. A few other things, too. I would definitely go back. It was an experience.
