Kitten Overboard

I have a post on Austen Authors today about an 18th Century kitten who fell overboard from one of those great wooden sailing ships. It's an amazing story. Better yet, it's true. And this provides me with an excuse to introduce you to the newest member of the Simonsen household, our cat, Lucy, who showed up at our house every day for a month. Her persistence paid off. I relented and now she runs the house.

  4. Lucy looks very cute. Why did you choose this name? I hope she's not like Lucy Steele. (Just joking!)

    Hi Fredamans, It was also nice to meet you at the Pemberley Ball. I must tell you that I wore through my dance slippers.
