But I'm Helping……

This morning has been set aside so that I could work on a small quilt. Nothing else on the calendar and I'm feeling sort of "cold-y" so working at the sewing machine is a perfect thing to do. Kleenex box at my side, cup of juice on the counter.

I'd been busy creating for about 90 minutes when I felt a little nudge on my leg. Ahhh….time to go for a walk.

So Fenway and I put on our sweaters, grab the mail and walk over to the post office, down around Rotary Park and across the parking lot to walk along the water front. It wasn't the longest walk in the world, but a nice one. And Fenway got to anoint dozens of trees and bushes.

Back in the condo I put a load in the dryer, started a CD playing and sat back down at the machine. Five minutes later - nudge.  He's baaaaaack! When I didn't respond I "felt" something - he was sitting behind me….staring.

I can't help it - he makes me laugh…..so I pull my chair back from the sewing table and right away he's in my lap. I can almost "hear" him thinking…."If I sit here and stare at her, she'll talk to me and stop whatever this other thing is."

As you can see, if Fenway is in my lap, there is no way to do anything with the quilt. So he gets a few minutes conversation and tummy scratching.

Then it's back to the floor - sigh…….
