My boots came back from the cobbler yesterday. They managed to repair the soles, replace the laces, and even oiled up the leather. Felt good to be back in them.
Not sure how we’ll celebrate Mother’s Day here but at least she gets an extra hug from the kids. 🙂

Re: cat. Post a request for story suggestions on the group FB page? My own would be: what would happen if the talisman that nearly killed Shackleford was placed on the cat? Can Mulligan even take it off? Although I provided the initial idea-germ that led to The Wizard’s Cat, I’d prefer you to set it aside and work on the new Ish books instead; time may be limited, and at a certain point you might be forced to put all work aside. I sincerely hope and pray that is not the case. You mght ask the fans which they would prefer, if you have no preference yourself.
Re: Blue Jays. For the American Blue Jay (Cyanocitta Cristata) the males and females are colored alike, but the males are slightly larger.
In case you didn’t know, the actor, Stanley Tucci, had what sounds like a similar interaction with cancer and a successful outcome: https://www.medpagetoday.com/popmedicine/celebritydiagnosis/94492
Hope it helps to hear that good bit of news.
