Jim, have you an identity for your bug? Looks a lot like the Kissing Bug whose bite can be deadly. They have recently been seen in more northern states than normally found. There are some bugs that look very similar to the Kissing Bug, but are harmless.

Such beautiful black cats....I love them, although I no longer have any. I content myself with petting my friends' cats, LOL. Our last black cat, now long-gone for almost a decade, was a Burmese mix. One of the largest, longest short-haired cats I've ever seen. When he went up on his hind legs, he could easily touch the top of a 36-inch high kitchen cart with his front paws. One day he was lying on our Chinese rug, stretched out fully, and I caught him in full-length mode. It looks fake, but he really was big - a full 16.5 lbs.

I have passed up a few Escher puzzles. Definitely a challenge. They are always 1000 piece and I have sitting problem working with that size. Besides, I don't need anymore insanity in my life! LOL

There are several chain motels that are near Kennett Square and a few smaller inns and B&B's. Some of them offer deals that include tickets to Longwood Gardens. We attended a wedding in that area a few years ago and rather than driving home late at night after the reception we booked a room at a Best Western Plus in Glen Mills. It had either just opened or had recently been remodeled and it was very nice. The Brandywine Valley area would make great getaway trip - there a lot of interesting museums, gardens and historical sites.
