HAVING TROUBLE GETTING TO SOME BLOGS

 A few of mine included.  When I try to go to them there is a page of code showing up instead of a photo.  Not sure when this will all get fixed.  Not even sure this blog will show up but I'm posting a memory I like.

We use to stop at this cafe when we would visit up in San Simeon (near Hearst Castle.)  Awhile back I heard it was closed down but didn't realize they were simply moving it to another place a few hundred feet away.  I found a video about it where they moved the whole building.   Evidently it was moved for safety reasons but I couldn't get to the article where they discussed why.  I don't have a subscription to that particular paper. 

I was only inside it once but has always loved the look of the outside when we drove by it. I got this photo several years ago.



Next to the restaurant was an area where these horses were.  The hills behind it are where Hearst Castle is. Hearst Corp., which owns Sebastian's Store and most of the rest of the land in Old San Simeon Village

My photos of the horses didn't turn out good.

A MEMORY

 I came across this photo from a visit to the central coast several years ago.  Some day I am determined to walk there again.  This was such a beautiful walk. 

Question - how many of you have cats?  And if you have cats do you leave them home alone when you are away for several days.  I've always thought that we needed to board our cat but now I'm thinking she can certainly be at home for a few days with plenty of food and water.  She sleeps most of the day.  

She is so filled with anxiety when we put her in a pet hotel.  She literally foams at the mouth when she realizes where she is going.  She wouldn't eat for two days and the pet hotel we use to take her to, Pet Smart, told us she wasn't a good fit for their hotel.  (she had been there five times in the past) .  We  made sure it was on her record that she wouldn't eat for two days.  However, the last time we took her was Thanksgiving of 2019.  She had only been at the hotel about 18 hours before we got a call early in the morning telling us that they had taken her to a vet because she refused to eat.  At that point we said we aren't paying any emergency vet bill because it was on her records she wouldn't eat for a few days. (We would usually leave her for four days).   We asked them what did the vet say - ..he diagnosed her with anxiety, lolol.  

Because we refused the vet bill that is when we were told she wasn't a good fit.

It finally dawned on me this morning that we could just leave her home.  

Any advice on that - ..?How long would you leave a cat alone?  She's always been an indoor cat.
