Are you becoming a Cat Lady, Jan TOO? My granddaughter is a Cat Lady in Training. I have read her the story of Tom Bawcock and she wants to go to Mousehole! I have shown her pictures of the harbor and she is fascinated with the tiny entrance. As to my pirate costume, I went on line on my way over the Atlantic ( I never travel without my trusty iPad) and FedEx delivered a replica of Johnny Depp's costume to me as we flew along. The dreadlocks are really annoying, though. And because of my recent cataract surgery, I can't wear any eye make-up for two weeks so the lack of all that eyeliner Johnny wore in the movie kind of ruins the effect. Cowabunga! We are almost there!

Mousehole! I was holding the kitty, Charlie, when suddenly I was crouched on the front stoop of a tiny cottage in the little hamlet of Mousehole. I recognized the harbour straight-away. Just like my Woonie Gumpus, Charlie has the power to go between home and Mousehole and took me with him. It must be the magical pull of Mousehole and the tale/tail of the cat who saved the people of Mousehole at Christmas time long ago. Connie, I'm back on board and under the tarps covering the supplies. If you don't mind, could you please help me out of this corner? I can tell we're very close to Cornwall by the smell of the salt air. Jan, you must be near by on your surfboard. I can't wait to see your pirate costume and hear the ARRRR you've been practicing! Now then, what to wear to the party...

I had to go home and have my second cataract removed the other day and couldn't look down or drive for two days. Now I have to wear a clear plastic shield over my eye at night for a week and all practicing being a Cornish pirate. I say "ARRR!!!" a lot. I guess I will dress as a pirate at the party. Do I have to look like Johnny Depp? Can I borrow one of the parrots for my shoulder? At some point, Jan TOO (The Other One) must have fallen overboard. I couldn't look down so I couldn't look for her. I hope she catches up soon! (Or did Connie toss her over so she could be Commander of the Moose Sleigh? HMMM! Do we have a mystery on our hands?)
