Bittersweet

Blaze was born under the computer table in the back room.  He was the largest of the litter at birth, a lovely red spotted tabby with white trim.  At his biggest, Blaze weighed in at 28lbs, approximately 2-1/2' long from tip of nose to tip of tail...a truly big cat.

For all of Blaze's life I couldn't have a plastic cover on my sewing machine. You see, Blaze had a passion for plastic: ziplock bags, shopping bags, 6 pack holders...he dug my little photo album out of my purse one night and chewed it all up. He would find plastic anywhere, I had to be very careful and diligent at keeping it all picked up and put away.

This morning I found the plastic sewing machine cover and finally opened it. Have had it for many years. Now I can keep the dust off/out of my machine....but wish I would find bite marks in it too.

Bittersweet memories.
