The memorial album. Fortunately, I have hundreds of pictures of her, and I have many more than that in the mind’s camera. She was so expressive. The original grumpy cat.

I love the shots of her to one side and others in a cat pile. Also the one of her playing with the toy and everybody else sitting respectfully waiting. She was unquestionably top cat. The ones of her with bottle brush tail meeting the calico were when she had just been brought home, and she was NOT backing down from that much larger cat.

But one of my favorites all her life has been the one of her as a kitten in my lap as I typed and looping one paw across my wrist. “My person.” She rolled her eyes at the world at large and at those lesser cats, but she did like me, and that was an honor, because she did not give friendship easily.

The Blue Moon rose that I planted at Rosalind’s grave this spring has its first bloom fully open today. Gorgeous. It’s not “quite” blue, but the tones are fascinating, shades of blue and lavender. For that matter, Rosalind herself, though a “blue” point, was not technically blue the color, so I still think the rose fits.

Im sorry I didn’t get to pass on my condolences before. What a beautiful rose to remind you of a beautiful girl I hope it blooms for a long time.
