A Nice Visit With My Sister

Last week, I was able to fly out to Arizona to visit my sister, Laura.  I was there from Wednesday - Monday.  It was sooooo great to spend time with my sister.  I hadn't seen her for 2 years.  Some of the highlights of my trip were:

- Eating breakfast & drinking iced coffee with Laura and talking for awhile each morning.
- Going out to Thai food with Laura.  (Thank you Jason for watching the boys so we could go out!)
- Watching a chick flick with Laura one night.
- Playing "Phase 10" and "Dutch Blitz" with Laura and Micah (their oldest).
- Getting hugs from Jacob (their youngest).
- Singing in church next to Laura and hearing her beautiful voice harmonizing with mine.
- Playing fetch with their cat, Starbuck!  I really fell in love with this cat and wanted to bring him home with me!
- Talking, talking, and talking with Laura...  I really felt like we had some good times and I really miss her.

The fam:  Jason, Laura, Jacob, and Micah

This is a video of Starbuck playing fetch.  He was so cute about it because anytime he wanted to play fetch, he would drop a hairband or some kind of toy in my lap.  I had never heard of cats playing fetch before, so I had so much fun with him!  


Here's another video of Starbuck fetching.  What I think is cute about this video is that when Starbuck is on the ground, you can only see the tip of his tail and it reminds me of a shark...  :)

So very glad you could spend time with your sister! Such a special bond. I can see family resemblances, too. So fun. :-)
Very cute about the cat. I think it must have been around a dog before. ha ha Or it's just a really nice cat. I admit...there are some really nice cats around...though I did say "some." ;-) hee hee

Oh, and I think that's a cool name for the cat. :-)
