Willie Was Different by Norman Rockwell

Willie the wood thrush is awkward and different. Deep down inside, though, he knows he is a genius. So he leaves his family behind to go out into the world. He meets Miss Polly, the town librarian. He discovers his musical genius while singing along with Miss Polly’s flute. Soon, fame finds him. But will acclaim and admiration make Willie happy?

Cooper enjoyed this book. It was a cute story and the illustrations were wonderful. She didn’t understand why Willie would give up being a celebrity, though…

Meet Eliza!

Eliza lives in New York with Craig*.

I found Eliza through petfinder.com and adopted her from a local rescue shelter a few weeks ago. The elderly couple that owned her previously could no longer take care of her. She is a four year old tabby/Abyssinian mix and pretty much the most perfect cat on the face of the planet. If she isn’t moving from window to window (planning her escape?), she’s in my lap. She is the epitome of a lap cat. Any lap will do too since she’s extremely friendly and warms up to anyone willing to give her a rub and a scratch.

*Today also happens to be Craig’s birthday – Happy birthday Craig!
