The Eagle has returned to home base / myLot

In other words, K and I are back at home after a great week of camping at Jordan Lake. I must confess that I probably enjoyed it more than K did. She commuted to the plant for 2 days and worked remotely from the rig for 3 days. However, she did get to hang out with her friend, R, and the other ladies in the club on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. One sad thing we discovered upon returning home is that Stripes the Front Porch Cat is missing. The pet sitter texted K yesterday that he hadn't greeted her when she went to feed him. This is unusual. He also usually greets us when we come home from a trip, and we haven't seen him since we got home around noon. We are hoping Stripes turns up by morning. If not, then we will have to accept that something bad has probably happened to him. My fingers are crossed that he will show up in the a.m. looking for breakfast. Tomorrow starts a new work week. How is the upcoming looking for you?

I hope Stripes is okay and just out visiting with the ladies while you were gone. One day is pretty much the same as any other for me.

Stripes has disappeared for a day or two in the past. I hope that's all he's done this time. I will be very sad if he's really gone for good.

@DaddyEvil One reason I'm worried is that when he does come home from these wanderings, he's usually sporting a battle scar.

@DWDavis Most cats go wandering at times. I hope he comes home without getting into trouble.

The pet sitter came by and gave him fresh food and water every day, and he always greeted her when she arrived. That's what's got me worried about him. He didn't show up for her yesterday and didn't welcome us home today.

I do, too. I will miss him a lot if he's really gone for good.

I’m sorry you came home to bad news that Stripes is missing.

Sure you’re going to enjoy it more! It seems you might talk K into retiring soon.

She fusses a lot about her work, but she won't retire for at least two more years unless the company offers an early retirement package.

@DWDavis — want me to call them and ask them to offer her one?
