Doesn’t this sound like the purrfect purrdicament?
[/text_output][gap size=”20px”][text_output]It does to me! And everyone will just have to understand. Enjoying life is all about having the right priorities.

“A Cat in My Lap” is such a popular poem among cat lovers. I originally read it when my grandmother included it in a hand-written card she sent me many years ago. It’s one of my all-time favorites. I just had to couple it with a favorite photo from an awesome shoot with the talented Ed Steele of Ed Steele Photography LLC done in 2012.

These are photos of the original card my Grandma Opal sent to me. I kept it hanging on my refrigerator for years, which explains the spots and splatters. It now resides in a special display cabinet in my office.[/text_output][gap size=”40px”]
