Coming home from Norway today so that’s sad. But! I am pleased to report there are tiny bouncy creatures there!
If any cat would yowl (and chirp, and bleat, and caterwaul) and annoy everyone in the Land of the Dead, it’d be her. I hope she’s keeping everyone awake there.
I had fifteen wonderful years with Misha, and it still didn’t feel like enough. Rest in peace, sweet girl. My life is infinitely better because you were in it.
This is Helen and she has the soul of a lovelorn widow standing on a balcony watching the storm-tossed seas.
I now have three snowshoe Siamese cats and all of them have come from weird places like under someone’s bed (Faramir), a bush on a dark street (Misha), and my shed (Georgie).
This is @tuckiozi.bsky.social’s and my new son, Faramir. He is small and strange and perfect.
Here’s the letter in full. I’m going to work on transcribing them before I donate them to the rest of my great uncle Clark’s collection at the Marion County Historical Society. :D
Maybe of interest to people like @tastinghistory.bsky.social! We’re going through some family Civil War letters and found a description of the food at a military hospital in 1863 with the exclamation of “we have been living like Pigs in the clover”!
Do you want a hand-written original poem in the handwriting of an 18th century dude? An illuminated manuscript version of Call of Duty? A painting of a bird in a hat? Let me know! Mostly so I can get a sense of how many people might be interested.
I could get more prosey about all this, but instead I'll end the thread with the state seal. This state was founded after Bleeding Kansas, a civil rights watershed. Our motto is "to the stars through difficulty". It will be difficult, but we'll manage, and we'll do right when it counts. 7/7
Also I never post pictures of me but I got to spend almost a month with @tuckiozi.bsky.social, my favorite person ever ever EVER!
