Bob and I have officially landed in the village of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. It has a population of 39,000 and actually does have a falls (created by a dam). It is also the headquarters of the Kohl’s Department Stores.
We will be coexisting with two very cute but mostly human-averse cats, so mostly we’ll be putting out food and cleaning the litter box. The lighter colored one is Jupiter, and he is definitely the friendlier of the two. He has sat in the hallway and watched us and has let me put treats in his vicinity as long as I move away after that. The black one, Bruno Mars, has no need to be near us and I was thrilled to even be able to get the photo of him below. This is a 2 story house with a full basement, and Bruno spends much of his time in the basement ceiling — even for his owner.
The board that is leaning is from Bruno knocking into it
to get up into the ceiling.
Yesterday after we arrived, we mostly caught up on laundry and other items that we neglected over the holidays, but today we got out into the misty rain to check out a bit of the downtown and then head to Target for items for dinner and a new umbrella for Bob. it was an easy walk up our street onto a path along the Menomonee River into downtown.
This one is on the side of an Irish pub.
