I love it! Hope looks like a cat with attitude.
She is such a bizarre little thing.
Hope is obviously very superior to the rest of us. I love the look on her face!
I have this thing where I love to peruse people’s book shelves when I see them in a photo, can I ask about the book, I think it is called “Making Waves”? It sounds really familiar to me. Also, is that a biography of Lillian Gish?
Maureen – that’s a huge double biography of the Gish sisters. So many great pictures !
Making Waves is this amazing photography book about WAVES – “Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service” – in WWII. Great Rosie the Riveter photos!
Ah, cats. Majestic, noble creatures. Who simply cannot resist a box and will do whatever it takes to get IN.
I don’t think I can trust someone who doesn’t like cats.
The whole box-thing with cats is just so funny to me. I can practically see her eyes light up when she sees a box of any size. Hmm, I must get in there immediately.
It’s so weird !
