Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today was another good day for you and I. I got to take you to school again. I gave you a big hug and goodbye and left you with your teacher while I headed back to Cape Town. We had such a special time together and I’m so proud of you! Granpa loved his gifts! The fizz pops were a great hit..
And the pajamas were too. Well done Stace!
I got a message this morning that a ginger cat was seen down the road, so I’m waiting for darkness to go have a look. There are not many ginger cats on this road and apparently they have been sightings both up and down the road. I went this morning as soon as I got home. I spoke to a couple of gardeners in the area and was touched that one of the ‘bosses’ had whatsapped the gardener a photo of Claw’d. The ginger cat seen of course, may have been Raiku, but the one from this morning was described as smaller, so I’ll go shine a torch in the bushes and look for cat’s eyes. I’m not optimistic because I feel if he was close by he would have come home, but I’ll go look anyway.
Meantime, the Ruth First is in the bay. It’s the Sea Fisheries Patrol vessel. Also knowing as a fishing guard vessel.
This afternoon, stiff from driving, I also took a walk to Fish Hoek for some shopping.
I hope to swim tomorrow.
I had a lovely couple of days in Swellendam being mainly on Granny duty. Now to change hats. I contacted a couple of guests and we’ll see a couple leave and a couple arrive in the next week.
We miss Claw’d like crazy, but will keep hoping. Off I go to get my torch ready for my night prowl.
Wise advice:
Psalm 49:16-17
Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
