Today is the 35th anniversary of the grand opening of the used & rare bookshop my husband and I owned/operated in Athens, Ohio, near the campus of Ohio University from 1991 to 1999. Do any of you former OU students or Athens residents remember this shop and the foster cats? #usedbooks #bookshops #OU

Dad's handwriting is getting so illegible! Mom brought home fruit instead of dog treats, and kittens instead of kibble. #cats #kittens #Caturday #dogs

Norm, jazzed when he was escorted to an extra-wide squirrel viewing area, sighed in resignation and disappointment when he discovered his window was mostly blocked by a scraggly dogwood. #cats

"Darling, this view is something else! You know, I think I've spotted a pod of dolphins. Wait. They aren't moving. Must be rocks. We've paid a lot for this vacation, but it's been worth every nickel. Don't you agree?" Every bookaholic ever: "Uh-huh. That's nice."
