We left Decatur and went to Nashville on Friday. We came back today, enriched by abundant gifts from Sarah and David: a book, some eps, the exchange of stories... and Josh.
Josh had been well looked after by Dorothy and her creative cohorts. But the time had come for Josh to get on the road, see the world, expand his spatial and existential horizons. So he made a four hour road trip with us to Decatur: the place he now calls home.
He's a pretty special cat. He's completely black. And he only has three paws. Considering how best to honour his absent front left paw, Beth thought of naming him Pa, like Pa Ingalls in the Little House on the Prairie stories she enjoyed when she was smaller. He already had the name Josh, so his full title is Mr. Joshua Ingalls.
He rocks.
