IT'S A SMALL WORLD

If patience is indeed a virtue, then I think we must have rescued one of the most virtuous cats in the known universe!  She's almost like a rag doll, while Laila carries her all over the house, and only occasionally does she insist on escaping to the safety underneath one of the beds.  Most of the time, she's perfectly content to be in Laila's lap, as these pictures show, and there's never any claws, or biting.
 

Our morning started off pretty slow, with lots of play time with the kitty, some cartoons on the tube, then a bacon, egg, and pancake breakfast.  We decided to head into town, and check out the miniature museum that we both had read a lot about.  By the time we made our way into Tucson, it was 11am, and we discovered that the museum didn't open on Sunday until noon.  We found a pet store, and a WalMart to kill some time, arriving back at the museum shortly after they opened.

The Tucson Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures, is a collection from around the world, dating as far back as 1775.  Over 275 houses, and rooms are displayed in a very modern, and well designed building.  Some of the detail in these what I call "doll houses", is nothing short of amazing!  Unfortunately, no flash photography is allowed, so many of my non flash pictures were either blurry, or there simply wasn't enough light. 

 

 Located near the main entrance, the front of this building opened automatically every few minutes, revealing several rooms filled with miniature furniture and people.

Laila is standing over an entire town of miniatures, with one of the displays being a Harley-Davidson snow village, the same as we have in our living room.  The closeup picture that I took of the H-D gas station didn't turn out, but it was located just a little to the right of where Laila is standing.

When  we got back to the ranch, I watched a pretty good football game, where the Arizona Cardinals kept their playoff hopes alive by beating the Seattle Seahawks.  Laila and Grandma were busy with other projects, and before we could say 2 more days until Christmas, the day had slipped away, and it was time to hit the sack.
