> [@gnoitall](#): > > I’ve read that [story](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Who_Walks_Through_Walls). Funny. So far today no new sweetgum balls. The cats are back to their usual snooty selves. I was on the deck and the cats stepped out for a minute. The deck is wet from a shower we had. As soon as they realized their feet were wet they ran back in and sat watching me and the dogs and cleaning their paws. ---

I do NEED to get out more. You just don’t know how bad, bad, bad. I walked out and looked at the closest sweetgum tree to my back deck. It hasn’t even dropped its seed pods yet this year. So, we have a new clue. The one’s I’m seeing in the house are old. Hmmmm? The plot thickens. ---

Oh, I found an old tomb stone in the woods recently. We have our own cementary. Only 3 folks buried there. Mr.Wrekkers family. He’ll be gone 3 weeks. :D: ---

I walked out on the deck earlier and an acorn hit me on top of my head. I’m saving it. It may be a omen. :eek: ---

I walked the whole house. No new sweet gumballs. I’m feeling good. Go to bed last night. Cats are on the cat tree when me and dogs go up. Sometime in the night I hear a slight comotion in the hall but I go back to sleep. At the ass crack of dawn the cat’s are roaming around my bedroom threatening death if I don’t get up and FEED them. I get up and walk down the hall and step on a freakin’ sweet gumball. I cursed outloud. Cats flew. Dogs run to me. Yorkie pees on my foot. Dammit. Where are these dang things coming from? ---
