Female elk, in a moment they take out after a coyote...chasing it...

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.
