THE THREE KITTY ROYAL FAMILY ANNOUNCES CORONATION OF EMPRESS YODA AND THE PROMOTION OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL BLACKIE.

The Three Kitty Royal Family has just concluded festivities to celebrate the coronation of Empress Yoda.  Feline activities have included walks outside the garden fence, a daily offering of milk for the royalty and people food served at people meal times.  Human activities include twice weekly trips to the gym for Jan as well as various meetings and lots of weaving time.  For Jack there is gardening, construction of the model railroad and new ham radio equipment and antennae.  Additionally, Empress Yoda has celebrated by personally inviting several of her "subjects" in the house for games of mouse-soccer, lizard retrieval, shrew burial and the human's personal favorite, baby rabbit retrieval and removal.  Thankfully, almost all of Empress Yoda's "subjects" survive the celebration unharmed.

Commander, now Lieutenant General (plain clothes division), Blackie is celebrating by sleeping in the sun, walking in the garden and servicing THE LAP every time Jan sits down at her computer.  Lieutenant General Blackie is part of the plain clothes division because neither her collar nor her shoulders are big enough for all those stars.

For everyone who didn't decode the above press release, we are doing well.  Jan continues to get stronger although she now admits that it will take until at least the Fall, and maybe into next winter, for her energy levels to return.  All of Jan's check-ups have been satisfactory and as expected.  Jack has tended the gardens with great care (removing weeds with his backhoe) and the flowers are flourishing this year.  The vegetables are starting to be harvested.  We are growing greens, lettuces, beets, artichokes, peas, beans and shallots.  The lemon tree still has more lemons than we could ever use and there are flowers on both of the lemon trees for next year's crop.  We have a couple of Asian pears and some figs coming along for later harvest.

Until next time, your Three Kitty Kombatants, Lieutenant General (plain clothes division) Blackie, Empress Yoda, Jack, and
