=============
->  RH> Poor mama.  A cat we had when I was really little had kittens and 
one
->  RH> of them died.  She had another litter later.  They went to the vet 
and
->  RH> caught something that killed them.  Then mama cat went out one day 
and
->  RH> didn't come back. No idea what happened to her.
-> 
-> Coyotes get her? We had several cats from one family line that had heart

There were no coyotes here then; this was 40 years ago.

-> issues. The cat that had the 2 litters was one born to a mom cat we had
-> that died at the vet's after spaying. Kept the only kitten that hadn't
-> been adpoted, and the name. Dad had thought all would find homes so had
-> designated them Able, Baker, Charlie & Dog. Go figure, we found homes
-> for all but Dog so we had a cat named Dog.

(LOL)  One guess - somebody knew a lot of GIs.  
 
-> -> Most of the time we had only one cat at a time. Had 2 dogs several
-> -> times, plus the cat(s), a canary and a (small) fish tank. Dogs and 
cats
-> -> were indoor/outdoor ones.
-> 
->  RH> We've generally had two, but had three for a while.
-> 
-> They can be quite the entertainment, especially siblings.
-> 
These two are littermates and act like it.  


-> -> No, I'm waking him up now so he will be alert for supper to be served
-> -> shortly. Spinach/strawberry salad, turkey tenderloin and quinoa. Got
-> the spinach at the farmer's market earlier today.
-> 
->  RH> I don't think he'll mind being woken up for that!
-> 
-> He didn't, and had a good appetite. I should have gotten more spinach.
-> (G)

You'll know better next time.  I can make spinach vanish too.  
 
-> ->  RH> Exactly.  The bananas came just like they were picked off the 
tree,
-> ->  RH> and the spiders would hitch a ride.  Wharf cats thought they
made
->  RH> good toys.
-> 
-> -> Free fun!
-> 
->  RH> Also free lunch!
-> 
-> Didn't Mom cat ever tell them not to play with their food?

She was probably too busy eating her own.
 
-> -> from them. That's where I learned to appreciate Jarlesberg Swiss 
cheese.
-> 
->  RH> Yum. I can't imagine why.  I sometimes find cheese in the market
->  RH> marked down
->  RH> to get rid of it.  Not the Jarlsberg though; it doesn't last long
->  RH> enough in the case.
-> 
-> I know. (G) Whole Foods puts their small pieces in a box with a reduced
-> price--good way to sample small amounts to see if you like them or not.

I've been known to snag things like that.  I've gotten 90% discounts at Big 
Y by keeping my eyes peeled.  The limburger lump didn't work out so well, 
but the lemon stilton was yummy.
 
-> -> Most likely, I've got my own tool box full of goodies.
-> 
->  RH> I've got my late dad's, and some of my own, and some of Grandpa's.
->  RH> I'm pretty well set.
-> 
-> I will probably get some of my dad's eventually too, but not many as my
-> box is filling up.

Some of Grandpa's are railroad engine size pieces.  I don't have a lot of 
use for them, except when they really come in handy.
 
-> -> It's about the only way I do beans now.
-> 
->  RH> I haven't done any in ages.  There are only two of us, and those
->  RH> recipes are generally for a crowd.
-> 
-> I know, I usually make them for a crowd.

I usually make cheesecakes for that.(LOL) I did currywurst for last year's 
missions conference though. The cheesecakes are an easier sell.
 
-> -> Probably forgotten in the busy-ness of the start of the week. If 
nobody
-> -> had anything that needed to be put into the fridge, it could have
been
-> -> easily forgotten. But, it's history now.
-> 
->  RH> Cheese under the bridge, as it were. Or down the hatch.
-> 
-> Most likely the latter.
-> 
Something tells me you're correct.  There are a few hard-core sweet tooth 
types over there.
