Significant Things

So, a couple of significant things have occurred lately.

The first is Anniversary the Fourth betwixt Salsa Girl and oneself. This fell a week or so back and we celebrated with babysitting and an evening out at a local eating establishment.
There was much congratulations on having reached our Fruit and Flowers milestone (if you prefer the modern ones that would be diamonds - it's all diamonds in the modern list) and other mushy stuff that one's manly continence cannot bear to repeat.


The second is the birthday of the infamous The Tiger this weekend just passed. She has turned a sprightly twelve years of age. According to the one cat age calendar I bothered to consult that would place her at 65 human years - although I doubt many humans would still scamper after balls of paper across the floor at that age.
The day after her birthday was full of repeated pleas for daily doses of that special food that she received so eagerly on her birthday.

This was very unlike Salsa Girl who merely wanted more of that anniversarial dining out and massage stuff that she received so eagerly.
