Full of Grace (!)

Reunited: Alison Rose & Grace

Grace has been found! I don't know if it was St. Francis, luck, or fate but I think it might be a bit of all three. Here's the happy story:

My sister and her BF were hanging out last night, post dinner and jammie wearin', when they got a phone call. Mr. Sketch answered the ring and yelled to Alison Rose to put her shoes on 'cause someone might have found Grace! Turns out that, after nine scary days outside, skinny and tired little Gracie walked right into their neighbor's house, not even caring that they had a big ol' dog.

Hen Hao, Indeed!

The wildest part of the story is that they had Chinese food for dinner, right before receiving the call, and shown above is the true and actual fortune that Mr. Sketch cracked out of his cookie.

A Graceful Update

Little Grace is still missing. My sister (and her long-time friend) are losing hope. New DB reader Becky wrote in to tell us that she's always consulted St. Francis about her cat concerns. A quick google search tells me that St. Francis is not only the patron saint of animals but also of Colorado. Hear that, Alison Rose & Mr. Sketch? That's the sound of a good sign fluttering by!

Kneeling Saint Francis with Bowl, at Garden-Fountains

I feel so helpless being so far away from the action or lack thereof. So I'll sit here in Chicago and make silent requests to Francis to hurry up and bring Grace home. If the price tag wasn't such a killer, I'd also buy this garden ornament and tell them to fill it with CatMilk.

Thanks, Becky, for the wisdom and happy thoughts.

Seeking Grace

My sister's cat, Grace, has been missing since last Tuesday. She's a little indoor princess so the idea of her being out in the Ohio cold is heart-breaking.

Quiet an enchanting little porch, wouldn't you say? I can't say anything for sure (jinxes are so very real!) but we might be seeing a lot more of this sweet space.

The crowd at Grant Park

Porcelain and Hardwood crazy smiley, happy and joyful!

Last night Cardboard and I were so very lucky to get tickets to attend the official Obama Rally in Grant Park and celebrate Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States of America!!!!!! The crowd and the mood in the park was amazingly electric, joyful, excited and full of a whole lotta love! It was a very special night that we will never forget.
