Day 33-

Our Sweet Kitty-

 As every cat owner knows, adopting a new furry friend is a special and unforgettable experience. Is there anything sweeter than a kitten to cuddle with? 
Just over a year ago our family gave our hearts to a beautiful rescue Kitty that we named Jacob. Jacob started his life on the city streets and was living in less than desirable conditions for the first 6 weeks of his life. 
     

He was rescued by a kind person who heard him under their porch, alone, cold and afraid. He called for him and he ran from under the porch into his arms, happy to touch a human for the first time.

 This kind individual him took him to the vet and the wonderful tech took him home. He had a warm and loving foster home. Jacob was fostered by the daughter of a girl I worked with and she was looking for a home for him. I couldn't say no. Sight unseen we took him in and he has brought us nothing but joy and happiness since. He's the most photographed kitty in the world.

     

After a short period of Chaos and rough introductions to our other pets it has all been worth it in the end. Jacob has brought a whole lot of love into our house. He is a sweet boy and he is always there to cheer you up on a bad day. He never stops purring and giving hugs.

 I think that the Kittens and Cats that have had a rough start to life have so much more love to give. I have always found this to be true.

       
       

There are so many wonderful people in this community that have dedicated their lives to the care of some of the most helpless cats and kittens in the city and surrounding suburbs. I would like to give a loving shout out to Irondequoit resident Janine Wagner. Janine gives so much of herself to rescue, house and feed the cats in many communities in Rochester. And another huge thank you to Frank Vaccaro for all that he does to help to locate those cats that are lost, and a host of other things. A big thank you to all those that I have not mentioned here. Your service to this community and others does not go unnoticed. Frank helped us this past year when our Jacob ran out the back door while I was letting out the dogs. I will forever be grateful for his kindness.

 From the streets to living in the lap of luxury, Jacob has it all. We love him dearly and can't imagine our home without him.
Next time you are thinking of adopting a Kitty, please try one of the many rescues in the area, your Kitty will thank you for many years to come.

 Until Tomorrow- Be Safe

 "Their affection is timeless, their devotion is ageless and their love is forever"

Day 40- Inspiration- It is so important to have a hobby and to be inspired by something, something that encourages you to be creative. Some of us have one thing that we like to do like painting or putting together a puzzle, but for me it's a little bit of everything. I tend to get bored easily and I like to switch from project to project.                                I am very interested in history. I like to discover new buildings, forests and objects and places. These are the things that inspire other things in me, like painting, writing and gardening.  I buy and collect things that inspire me to do other things, if that makes sense. I have many old books with beautiful illustrations from times past that motivate me to write. I have flowers in my garden that inspire me to paint. There are many things that have inspired me, to be a better me, to be creative and to enjoy life no matter what it throws at me...

Day 39- Vintage Wicker Bags- It takes a great vintage bag to make a great summer outfit and there is nothing better than a vintage wicker purse. These are the handbags that my mother carried in the spring and summer and they were her celebration of the passing winter season. They could be purchased just about anywhere in the 50's and 60's, made from wicker, rattan, and sea grass, they were such beautiful bags. Some with leather trim and fabric or vinyl lining. They are plentiful today on apps such as Ebay & Etsy and many thrift and antique stores. They are fun to shop for and there are many interesting versions and styles. The best ones are the mid century designs. They can be found at a great price, from the $20-75 dollar range (and many even less) in all shapes and sizes.                                                  The 1950’s were real breakout years for the straw bag. Ladies who embraced fashion, wanted a hand bag that was fun and could carry their cosm

Camp Wacona Camp Wacona (meaning Bright Star in Seneca language) was located in Irondequoit, NY and was in operation from 1912 thru 1931, until it was sold. It operated as a YWCA camp for girls. In the early 1900's programs for girls became a part of the mission at the YWCA. Their programs offered teens a place to gather, participate in classes and provided opportunities for community service. The camp also provided outdoor vacations and outings for both girls and women. Girl Reserves was the official name of the YWCA unit for girls ages 12-20. I haven't been able to find a lot written about the camp but there are many photos. After some searching with a friend we believe that camp may have been located in the elevated area of  Durand Eastman Park on the lake side in what now is called The Highlands. Unfortunately the camp was torn down many years ago.  Wacona Ave off Culver Rd in Seabreeze is named after the Camp as a reminder of it's place in the history of Seabre
