That thing about cats being aloof and disenchanted? That is not Marsha T. Cat. She’s the doggiest cat I’ve ever seen. She loves to be with her people. She’s a great furry pal, and I’m glad she’s a part of Team ButterscotchSundae.

24. Backyard bliss
On my long, long Dream House list was a backyard like my dad’s. When the breeze blows through the big tree in our new yard, it sounds so much like his. The patio might be my new favorite place.
Where things stand
We’ve moved everything into the new house, save for a few cleaning materials that I’ll be using at the old house sometime this week.
The kitchen is chaos. The new house has plenty of cabinets, but for some reason I’m a little stymied as to how to organize them.
The kids’ rooms are almost completely set up. Poppy has a few toys yet to put away, and Pete’s clothes aren’t all shelved yet.
There are a few pictures on the walls, but only where there was already something to hang it on.
Our room is in a holding pattern. The bed is set up, but the clothes are here and there. And the boxes that didn’t have a specific destination? Stacked against the bedroom wall.
The garage is a few boxes from impassable.
The basement looks like it came straight from the ’70s. The kids have been working on unpacking the board games, and they’ve done a great job of it.
So, yes. Everything is pretty much wonderful.
