Cats, cats and more cats!!!!

Well, today is somewhat of a milestone for me. 28 years ago Russ and I were able to attend the opening of "Cats" in San Francisco. It was a magical evening filled with many surprises. When we got there we found out by pure chance that we were in the front row! When the curtain rises on the "cat town" so to speak there are holes in the front of the stage. Much to our surprise the cats crawl through them. Before we knew it we each had a cat pawing us and meowing frantically!! We both laughed so hard it made the evening that much more enjoyable. In fact it was so great we went and saw it again in San Jose. The seats weren't as good the second time but the cat magic sure was! I can remember dreaming that I hoped some day I would be able to share this experience with someone else, possibly my child. Well, tonight that dream is becoming a reality. The Lord is so faithful in remembering the prayers of our hearts. I get to share the experience with my beautiful daughter Ashley. She is a Vet Tech and obviously animals are her passion. Her first pet was our cat KC that she got for her sixth birthday and he still blesses our lives with his meows and purrs. I can't wait to see her face when the stage curtain goes up and the magic begins! So today, while I am home and Russ and Sammy are off hiking, and Ash and Tim are at Multnomah Falls. and Matt is doing his Matt thing, I can sit and dream about the likes of RumTum Tigger and Mr. Mestapholies and know that tonight will be a special and magical evening. As Martha would say," It's A VERY GOOD THING!!!!!!".
