Visit to Mom's

Since we are back on the East coast, we were able to drive up to see my Mom in Pittsburgh for a few days over the holidays. As we were packing, someone decided there was plenty of room for her:We ended up leaving her behind - traveling with the dogs was enough!

This was my favorite truck image from the drive:

We also passed the exit for Mars....it's off I-79, fyi.....

And for the first time ever in 10 years, Mom's cat made an appearance, did not try to flee when I entered the room, AND let me pet it:
I have never even been able to see this thing - it always hides. I guess it is mellowing with age. The cat is so anti-social, that noone even remembers it's name. Or whether it's male or female. Ha!
