Twenty-eight years ago she hoisted her bulk up off her comfortable chair on the front porch of the old “Bleeker Farm House”, grabbed her already packed valise, waddled directly across Dundas Street to Belleville General Hospital and birthed a fine, healthy baby. Before she went into the delivery room she predicted her child would be a boy, weighing 8 pounds and 11 ounces, and she was correct on both counts. What she had no way of knowing at the onset, however, was how immense this baby boy's impact on her life would be.
One year ago a ruddy Abyssinian kitten came into the world destined to make his home with her six months later and become the first of her two, quirky, athletic, sleek, beautifully-coated, long-limbed, and almond-eyed feline companions.
Both of these fine fellows - born twenty-seven years apart on May 28th - are, in one way or another, a dream come true for her.
