Today’s mail brings SEPTEMBER ROSES by Jeanette Winter (Frances Foster/FSG, 2004), a tribute to an act of kindness in the wake of 9/11/01.

Sashimi last night. Friends spoiling me this week, very attentive. Planning to spa Friday. Mercury (growling) and Bashi (cowering) to the vet today for annual check up. Mercury is down to 18 pounds. Woo woo! Kitty pilates in action! Changed out the photo on my blog; planning to open a new one tomorrow if time permits. More on that later.
