happy birthday to jac

it's jac's 6th birthday today. he doesn't like getting his photo taken, always looks away. however, he looks rather regal in this photo nonetheless.

today midwest airlines is supposed to announce whatever changes they are going to make to their upcoming flight schedule. i've been on needles & pins not knowing if i will be able to take my vacation in september. hopefully, i will find out what will happen today. the speculation is that they will cut flights to the west coast, destinations they just recently added within the past year as well as flights to tampa & ft. meyers florida. orlando has not yet been mentioned. we will see.

as for my feral kitten outside, there is no sighting of him this morning. it is raining today. maybe he is hiding from the rain? i put some food out next to the back door as it is covered there. i will have to see later if it is eaten. last night his little brother or sister was out with him. he is just adorable too! of course, i don't think there is an ugly kitten. this other kitten is a light grey with white. he has white ears. he is more afraid of us than his black sibling. we can even step outdoors and he doesn't take off - just watches us. it is when we walk towards him that he runs and hides. he is not even afraid of the dogs when they bark. he was outside watching fireflies last night and ate more food we put out for him. i am hoping we can tame him enough to rescue him.
