Fast friends.
You didn’t think that Elisabeth and George would go see a live hippo without bringing home a stuffed toy for their Ava, did you?
Very nice.

Ava with her ankle socks and stuffed animal are killing me! So very cute!!! I hope all is well with the east coast Bialdez family.

Both very sweet looking, Mark. Kitty will get used to modeling,! I have a poser at my house, used to hide when I aimed the camera at her now she rolls over and shows her belly. I MISS you and LPL

We miss you at the LPL as well, Lynn. … My daughter keeps sending me photos of Ava, so the cool cat is getting warmer about posing.

Love this photo Mark.
Thanks for my first morning laugh as I crack open my Breakfast Budweiser.
(The expression on the Kitty’s face looks very much as mine when I first stumble out of bed to face yet another day. Priceless!)
The Hippo looks happier.
