When we arrived at the Writer's Group last week I ran into an interesting character. His name is Wilf.

He introduced himself as "Wilf the WIT. Wilf the Wizard-In-Training." Like I said he is an interesting character. He is a really laid-back and mellow fellow. Here is a picture of us together

I look forward to seeing him again. Come to think of it - I am not sure how he arrived at Common Grounds or how he left for that matter. He just appeared and disappeared.

Marmie did not come to the Writer's Group today. She did come last week but sort of pouted the entire time she was there. She will probably be upset because when I got to the meeting Montague Von Alces_alces (Monty) was waiting for me.

We hung out outside the coffee shop for a while and then we went in.

The rest of the gang arrived shortly after we did and I introduced Monty to Gage, Cat and Bear.

I hope Marmie will not be too upset that she missed an opportunity to meet Monty.

YEAH FOR CAMPING - Updated Sept. 20, 2008

I had such a good time camping. I really enjoyed myself. I did not get to go out much because it rained at least once a day while we were there. I did not have a place to really get dry if I had gotten wet. In spite of that I did enjoy the trip. This was my favorite spot in camp

This chair was totally comfy. It was round and padded. Then Anne added a polar fleece throw to it.

Marmie, on the other hand, did not have a good time at all. In fact, she was miserable the whole time we were there. She would hardly leave the bed at all. I even tried to persuade her to come out

All in all I had a really enjoyable time. The only problem was on the last day. As Anne was packing stuff up it started to drizzle. Marmie and I were in the round chair and took refuge under her hat. You can see Marmie's tail to the left of the hat. Course you can see me to the right.

I would really like to go camping again. Anne says maybe in a couple of years we can do this again. I can hardly wait.

CAMPING!!!! - Updated Sept. 20, 2008

I can hardly wait for the camping trip. We will be up in the mountains for a few days and will be back some time this weekend. When I asked Anne how we were camping I was thrilled to find out it is in a tent. I think that is so neat. I will let you know how it went when we return. Till then have a good one.

Since my friend, Anne, is no longer dealing with problems at the house I thought I better get caught up. I have a few pics to post so here goes.

Here is a pic of Gage and myself at a Writer's group from a couple of weeks ago.

Here I am with my really cool shades.

This pic is my friend Sylvester and Tangeriane. Sylvester is my friend who was visiting with me last weekend. Tangeriane had come to the Writer's group with Mysti. They seem to have hit it off and spent a bit of time chatting. I'm glad Sylvester had a good time.

After Writer's group we went on a picnic. Sylvester and I enjoyed ourselves by just chillin' at the park.

A couple of bummers happened last Saturday. One of them happened at the picnic when Marmie became a guacamole hog and would not share. Anne did come to our rescue and made Marmie share. The other was that the batteries died in the camera and so we could not take any more pics. After the picnic we went for a visit at Gage's house and had a very enjoyable time.

This should bring things up to date. I decided to just kick back at home today, so no further travels. Since the batteries are now recharged in the camera, check back later and see what happens next.
