Throwback Thursday: Make Yourself at Home

It was a time for macaroni and cheese, oatmeal, and mugs of steaming cocoa...

(Jackson hosts a Sunday brunch.)

It’s funny how some things in life keep swirling around aimlessly until they land in just the right sequence, which is what I was getting at in today’s Throwback Thursday rerun from one year ago.

I was writing about the complex order of life events, concentrating on the 2001 arrival of Jackson, our very first cat.

Jackson showed up just in time for…well, never mind, that would be spoiling the surprise from Just Make Yourself at Home.

As some of you know, after a five-year break Barbara and I have resumed fostering tiny Shelter kittens, to socialize them and nourish them for their journey to a forever home.

By coincidence, this week my occasional Feline Friday photo feature coincides with today’s Throwback Thursday rerun, making it quite a cat-filled week.

I hope you enjoy Just Make Yourself at Home, and that you return here tomorrow for a new Feline Friday.

If you haven’t done so already, please consider becoming a paying subscriber to 5 a.m. Stories. Just $5 a month and you may quit anytime you want.

That $5 buys you so much entertainment I’m embarrassed even to tell you about it all. The money goes to charities, in the fields of animal welfare and the environment.

We call that a win-win.
