When the Cat’s Away … I Get a Honey-Do List!

I’m sure you have all heard the saying “When the cat’s away the mice will play”. Well, the cat’s away, but I’m not sure that I will be able to play.

Betsy is down at Tybee Island, Georgia, with her three childhood girlfriends from Big Stone Gap, Virginia. The ‘Get-Away-Gang’, as they are known, starting taking annual getaways in 1992, the year they all turned 50. They’re goiing to be at Tybee for a week.

I took Betsy down to Atlanta to meet up with Nita, Reida and Susan. You would think when I got back home I could look forward to a week of leisurely reading, listening to music, and working on my stamps.

But oh, no, I get to look forward to a week of feeding the birds, cleaning the bird bath, planting pansies, and doing the grocery shopping. There are a few more chores on the list, but so far I’ve been afraid to look.

I guess I’ll have to change that saying to “When the cat’s away I get a honey-do list!”
