World's Largest Arby's

In Colonial Heights. Built circa 1996. Prototype (along with smaller version at Short Pump). Southwestern theme. Check out overhead TV (TVs throughout restaurant). Foods include hot side dish bar, salad bar, Mexican bar, also regular stuff like chicken and beef. Mom met couple who meets there every Sunday for lunch for past 13 years. Manager said usually don't allow pictures but accommodated Mom (related to your story). Employes came up to Mom wondering where she was from (eg news reporter?). Ornate fireplace cover (has two fireplaces). Real wooden totum pole. A plant cut to look like Don
Quixote on mule.
































































Junior loves to crawl inside drier. We are careful not to let her stay.

Catching flies; birds back












Junior has been chasing this fly for two days -- I thinks she almost got it this time.

Junior loves to burrow down into the laundry basket for a nap; maybe Goblin will try this approach next time.

Jr.'s favorite toy (except she was also chasing a fly today, never caught it)

(Goblin never sat in laundry basket until after Junior started doing it.)

We had violent storms followed by a pretty sunset. Was 96 degrees today but high tomorrow will be 71 and 67 next day.



Junior's tummy stitches removed today. She did well but is now somewhat skeptical of the vet's office. We put her in the laundry room while we ate and she somehow tucked herself inside one of the plastic bags on the washer.

Fish toy

Junior made it past the upstairs screen-barrier, then she went into your room and found this toy, one of Diva's favorite. I heard her dragging it down the stairs but didn't know what it was yet. Then I heard her fussing with something behind one of the corner tables. Over a period of a couple days I would hear her there, but couldn't see what she was doing (as I sat in my leather chair). Finally I investigated and found the fish toy elastic band wrapped around the table leg about fifty times. Jr. had been trying to get it loose but kept getting it more tangled. I unwrapped it (while she watched with great joy) and then attached it to the window, where she has been playing with it ever since.
