My niece found Magoo as a kitten, wandering in the yard. He LURVs his people, and any other human who comes along. I've posted about him before:

| Magoo claimed my mother's lap immediately! |

We didn't just stay inside just to play with Magoo, although I spent a lot of time with the 'chonky boi'! While shopping in Lebanon's historic downtown, I found other cats:
 |
| I would have purchased this in a heartbeat, but couldn't do $150! |
 |
| Photo of bird in a ceramic cat's mouth was for sale |
 |
| This groovy statue sat on the counter at a sandwich shop, but I'm thinking that there are too many toes on each paw... |
 |
An honest-to-gosh shop cat!
After this image was snapped, said cat disappeared from view |
After I spent all of my money (a pair of shoes, organic lotion, and the black cat statue from yesterday's post but no scarves), we stood in the rain to watch the daytime Lebanon Horse Drawn Carriage Parade.

| One horse pulls a carriage |
 |
| Mini-horse and rider! |
 |
| Wells Fargo coach, pulled by four horses |
 |
| Old-fashioned delivery truck! |
We went in the evening to watch the nighttime parade, as horses and carriages were adorned with lights and jingle bells galore! Here is a taste of the fun:
Needless to say, leaving my family and Magoo behind was difficult to do, and plans are to drive back again in the spring.
