My tablet has given out at the moment, so you'll have to settle for my handsome boys, a long shot. Ron is really trying to fatten me up. We had supper at The Douglasville Hotel on Wednesday, we love that place. Marjorie Yoakam, the lady that makes the wooden dolls, lives there. The Mary Merritt Doll Museum used to be there. I was there long before I moved to Reading. Then he got pizza at Blue Marsh up the road on Friday. They have really good pizza. Today we finally made brunch at Stouch Tavern circa 1785 in Womelsdorf. We had wandered into there while visiting Cornwall Furnace and The Blue Bird Inn around Christmas. George Washington slept there. It is off-the-hook awesome. The place across the street is for sale; I want to live there. I went to the Feed the Fish event at PetSmart yesterday. It was the same wonderful lady as the Valentine's Day party, and I finally replaced Ector with a new electric green Glo cory cat, Danu. It's taken me months to find another. Ron never saw the James Bond flicks. Somehow, I missed Her Majesty's Secret Service. It's got Telly Savalas. I've also made it to the third season of Grantchester. TTYL... 💕

Arm & Hammer Kitty Krew
Sir Frankie Crisp and I have just joined the Arm & Hammer Kitty Krew. I discovered it on his Double Duty kitty litter box. I wanted to score a charm bracelet, but they are out. I get great deals at the little market, Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, but it's often not brand new stuff. The Halloween tortilla chips I scored for ninety-seven cents are killer, so I'll take it. Arthur and I get to go to parties at PetSmart and other fun stuff. I just discovered that I can take him to the Historic Smithton Inn in Ephrata, next on my list. There's a dog park in Ephrata, and he travels so well, a proper gent. I'm going to a tropical fish event on Saturday at PetSmart. It's nice that I have something just for Frankie. We got high dollar natural litter the day we picked him up, Shiner's burial. It was terrible stuff, really pissy. We bought Tidy Cat once because it was cheap. It's nearly as bad. I love Double Duty clumping litter. It is easy clean-up. I clean Frankie's box every day. Someday he'll get a litter robot, but right now Countess Po' Ass can use some samples and freebies. I hope I'm getting more at PetSmart this weekend. Three aquariums can get expensive. I hope to get some Indian pea puffer fish at Petco some time when I'm down a Betta. I realize PetSmart is trying to compete, but Petco's warranties are twice as long, and their freaky fab staff is twice as nice. It won't be easy. They do take better care of their fish though. Sometimes I think about working at Petco. I'm pretty busy though. I'm making a Saint Patrick's Day doll from my Victorian Ornaments book that I got at The Mad Hatter for three dollars. I'm down to three projects in that book out of eleven, and I just got it this past fall. It's a lot of fun. I finished Hot Blood and want to get my rat pack done for the return of The Collins Port Inn. I have to begin The Apple Orchard, an epic poem about Robert Townsend, George Washington's Revolutionary War spy in New York. I hope that leads to another musical satire even before IKE. Ron and my brother don't consider art work. 😹

Brandywine Zoo
We had a lot of fun at The Brandywine Zoo in Wilmington, Delaware today. The giant anteater was my favorite, but the crane and condors were pretty awesome. Afterwards Ron took me to a good Irish bar and a fabulous market. The bunnies are from Intercourse. Here are links to some of the videos:
