This is my final full day of cat-sitting so here’s only one photo showing seven of the eight cats and a few shots of various homey knickknacks.

Today I thought I would show some photos of the cats for a change. (Not much else going on there.) Two more nights, one more day.

Went over to Mary’s house for a delayed, catered post-wedding party for her mom and new husband after they recently returned from a honeymoon in eastern Europe. Average age of guests: 70ish. Food was great. Sylvia was in charge of the desserts and her perfectionism showed.

Received phone calls from three different states today: my brother in smokey New Mexico, Brenda in scorching Texas and Lisa enjoying Walt Disney World in Florida without me.

Went for another impromptu San Diego walk with the Tapias. This time we met at and walked the Spanish Landing along the bay across from the airport. ( p i c s )

Went out for a nighttime walk with the Tapias through some neighborhood streets of Chula Vista. No photos, but 2.5 miles worth of calories burned on this trip.

Had a video chat with a very tired Brenda to show her the Museum of Me video she could create with her own Facebook account.

A leak in one of the Tapias’ backyard brick walls created an interesting photo op, thanks to Sylvia’s creative water-painting.
