Franklin swim meet and cat drama

Ella had a swim meet last night at Franklin H.S. Both their boys and girls teams are very strong and we had seen them this past weekend at conference. Man, they have a new school and a new facility that is really nice. It reminded me of a small college campus. The coaches switched many of the swimmers to swim different events than they normally do, so Ella swam the 100 free, 100 breaststroke, and swam in the 200 relay and the 400 relay. It was a fun event for the kids, at least the ones that didn't have to swim the 500. So, that was the extent of our evening. Sarah and Peri caught a ride with my cousin to the meet and then we all rode home. We had a grand time on the way home as Sarah shared with us the drama of our little black cat Luna, who apparently was stranded on the outside of the screen of the porch by our bedroom window. He apparently had been out there from the time they got home from school until they left for the swim meet, approx 3 hours. Sarah tried being "cat whisperer" to lure him in, but nothing would work. She tried leading him around the ledge by holding turkey on the inside of the screen, but he just wouldn't go around the corner. She tried poking him with a stick, climbing on a table outside (she only had about 10 feet to reach him), getting a sleeping bag and trying to get him to jump into it (again using her "cat whisperer" ability. She got the other cat and tossed her onto the bag, as an example for Luna to follow, but I am sure Luna was just laughing his head off because I am sure that Eliza just ran like the dickens after being tossed into the sleeping bag. So, Sarah was certain that he would still be stranded there when we got home around 8:30. She was so confident, she bet Peri her chore of emptying the dishwasher that he would still be stranded there. Well, we got home and as we were entering the door from the garage into the house, yep, you guessed it, up strolls Luna. We laughed hard and of course Peri was pretty excited about that. Before we got home, there were alot of ideas as to how to rescue the cat. I thought I might swing down from the roof with a rope like a ninja, we could have tossed Peri up as a flying gymnast to grab the cat, grab 4 corners of a sheet and push him off to land in the sheet. I don't think shooting him was ever mentioned, but I think that could have been an option if we owned a gun. Ha ha.. Well, it's all good and I hope you all enjoy. Laugh whenever you can because it is just the right thing to do... Love y'all.
