Otis, from Loganberry Books FB Page
Traveled to Shaker Heights, Ohio, to visit Otis at Loganberry Books.  Unfortunately, Otis was feeling under the weather, and wasn't at the bookstore that day, however...BOOKS!  Beth and I love cats, yet we love books too!  Funny thing; neither of us purchased a single book, but we both walked out with handfuls of greeting cards and bookmarks, most of them featuring CATS!  Then we ate at The Flying Crane, which was directly across the street, and the food was wonderful.

Flying Crane's yakisoba noodles!  YUM!
After lunch, we stopped at Eclectic Eccentric, where I found a delightful pair of earrings:

Laurel Burch!
Needs a bit of sprucing yet...
The store owner struck up a conversation, wondering aloud whether she was ready to adopt a cat. We suggested that she consider TWO cats! 😺😺

We next ventured into WOLFS, a fine art gallery and auction house.  Of course, I didn't snap any photos of items for sale.  It was like an art museum, and we looked at everything!  We also chatted with the owner, and his two puppy Sheep Dogs.  Guarding the front door, however, were these wonderful metal lions:

Reminds me of the "Dying Gaul" statue...
Big Paws!
But WAIT!
Shaker Heights was only the beginning of our travels; coming soon:
Where oh where was this image taken?
