Do Not Open That Umbrella In Here!

While leaving the house at 6:30 a.m. for the garage sale, I saw a black cat in the alley as soon as I pulled out of the garage. I chanted in my head -- at least I think it was in my head -- "Don't walk in front of me. Don't walk in front of me. Don't walk in front of me."

The cat walked in front of me.

Did I mention it was black?

Not quite the way to start the day; especially that early!

We are home now and we are both safe and sound. I will sit very quietly this evening; no need to tempt fate.

No ladders, no mirrors, no cracks -- OH MY!
