finding humor amongst it helped
“agent agent”
(ha!)
can come in unexpected ways – humor
help, too
unbelievable, even
as if the charm and serendipity of our cat enthusiast roadside mechanic wasn’t enough… he had a feline assistant riding shotgun!
Ed, Sam, and i stood and watched as this cat walked herself from her post in the passenger seat through the driver side window, over the side mirror, onto the hood over the family crest – the nerve!
there’s more:
we three continued to watch tickled (and, gotta admit sorta terrified) as Jesse made a brief parade loop around the Comfort Inn parking lot with Pixie perched – fearless and confident – on the hood-top
excuse me…
what is going on here?!
this really happened!
no foolin’!
