Lots and lots of sewing help....

Everyone who owns a cats (or two or three) has lots of help with their sewing projects. I was working on a "Birdie Sling" last week and when I went to straighten up the sewing area you can see what I found.

Happy Cat!!!!

We use this bowl to pick up pears and apples for the deer. Mickey laid it on the porch and here is Orangejello (pronouned OR angelo) very content. She is one of the feral cats I feed.

Getting on with the election!!!

Working in the communication department at Wake Forest University definitely keeps me involved with current events. Dr. Allan Louden is one of our professors here and a family friend. You will see him commenting on national and international news shows and in newspapers all over the world this time of year. He specializes in campaign advertising, debate analysis, and now digital politics. He gets wrapped up in all that is happening second by second on the computer...if you call his house you may have to wrap your conversation up so he can take a call from Minnesota NPR or an Argentinian newspaper. The Wake students seem to be really into this election and we've been having "debate watch" parties on the big screen in our auditorium. The media has been really interested in these gatherings and last night we attracted Luke Russert to our auditorium to do a web spot for NBC news. Of course him being here was news as well. Jill came over after she finished her day at school to watch with the students, but maybe more to check out Luke. Here are pics of Allan and Luke, Jill and Luke, and of the auditorium before the debate.
