My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin paid me a visit this past Saturday night. We ordered take-out and watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, which was surprisingly good! On Sunday we drove down to Chinatown. It took us 30 minutes to find a parking spot, but it was worth the wait. We stumbled upon a Vegetarian market, where my relatives stocked up; being a hard-core carnivore, I settled for rice crackers. I went across the street to buy a steaming roast pork bun. Then we had honeydew bubble tea. The tapioca balls are really quite tasty, once you get used to them. 

Sunday afternoon we drove to my parent's house on Long Island for Mom's delicious baked ziti and some good conversation. 

Scooter slept next to me on the pull-out couch in the den; he's a big ball of love!  My Dad let him back into the room in the morning, where he curled up at my feet and purred when I woke up!

Here he is!

My cat, Scooter, lives with Mom and Dad, but sometimes when I sleep over, he's been known to creep over to the bed while I'm sleeping...

 

I’m here in Northport, where I grew up, visiting my parents and my brother and sister-in-law.  We did some shopping last night at the local Target Store; they had a sale, so I got lots of good things!  I also get to see my adorable cat, Scooter; he’s always happy to see me and loves to play.  One of his favorite things to do is follow a piece of twine as I drag it around the house.  He makes a game of it, pouncing on the sinuous string just before it’s beyond his reach.  Scooter holds it between his paws and chews on it, pleased with his victory.

 

Random web users are like cats chasing string…You may wonder why I’ve written about Target in this blog entry and also tagged it.  The answer resembles the string Scooter loves to catch; by linking to popular Web sites, I drive quality traffic to my Live Journal and make my shameless self-promotion effortless.  When some Googles the keyword “Target Store,” the changes are pretty good that the Search Engines will add this entry in the list of results it generates with that keyword, thereby increasing the number of visitors to this blog.

 

Here, kitty-kitty!
