Whenever i see a cat, or when I'm struggling to prepare a meal, I think of how much she loved Pumpkin when she was a little girl. He was her pet during her growing up years... and I think of how easy it would be for her to whip up a great meal.
When Cassandra moved into her forever home, We went to see her and took her to lunch. We were so happy for her. It was a perfect place for her. She was so delighted. It was furnished, she could have her cat, Otter, and it had a precious garden right in front of her door. Plus she didn't have roommates!
