A peaceful day...

Since we have a new puppy, someone had to stay home with her while the rest of the family visited my in-laws. 

Guess who's staying home.

I'm in the house by myself with two kittens, a puppy, and (apparently) a noisy horde of mice (one of which I saw this morning--a fat, dark gray specimen darted out from under the vacuum to hide in the closet).  No television on.  Just music.

Yes, I need to get up off my butt and go get to work in the kitchen.  Yes, I need to get the laundry going. 

I'm going to enjoy the peace and (mostly) quiet for a little while longer, and finish my cup of coffee.
