HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI
MY PARTNER IN EVERYTHING HAS GIVEN ME THE JOY
OF CELEBRATING MORE THAN 30 BIRTHDAYS WITH HER
I have been all over with world with Heidi.
Spain, England, Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica, Canada and far beyond Internationally.
New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Moab, Sedona, San Antonio to name just a few Domestic.
Monument Valley Tribal Park and the Big Island of Hawaii count among the all-time favorites for diversity and nature.
Our latest adventure has been closer to home -- within the 33145 Zip Code of Little Havana/Shenandoah.
We have adopted nearly one dozen rescue cats.
Honeybear the Siamese is the star of Heidi's social media accounts. Our sweetheart sleeps on the bed.
Honeybear's Tortie baby prefers to sleep under the stars, but is always close to the door and ready to play with mom when HB goes outside.
Our front of the house colony eats about 10 bowls of food per day.
That colony is headed by Squirt, a tiny, just a couple pounds full grown, ginger cat.
Her mate is Big Boy, a huge Maine Coon with a big, bushy tail.
Adults in the colony include Squirt's brother Jasper and cousin Charlie.
In the past year, Squirt gave birth to four kittens.
Irving is a grey dappled tiger cat.
Dusty is a lighter orange version of mom and dad, with dad's bushy tail.
Another healthy kitten looks like an exact blend of mom and dad, with the slight overall build of Squirt and the huge Maine Coon tail of papa.
The fourth kitten looks more like squirt.
There also is a darker orange friend of the colony.
We have so many, we haven't even been able to keep up with names of all of them.
The last weekend of August, we teamed with Miami-Dade Animal Services to humanely catch four of the cats, including Squirt, to get them spay/neutered.
Squirt is the sweet baby in the two photos with this post.
She loves Aunt Heidi and wishes her a Happy Birthday.

HOPING TO SURVIVE IRMA
MIAMI, CAN YOU BE AT LEAST AS RESILIENT AS NEW ORLEANS AFTER KATRINA?
Within the next 24 hours, our lives could change like never before.
Hurricane Irma, with record high winds and Category 5+ strength, could take our possessions, take our house, take our cash reserves, take our pets or take our lives.
Most likely, the best case scenario is we will suffer moderate to significant damage to our nearly 100-year-old house and our vehicles -- including Heidi's $75,000 wheelchair ramp-equipped specialty van.
We care for more than a half dozen outside cats, and worry if they will drown or be felled by debris.
We had both a brand new roof and impact-resistance windows -- at a cost of far more than $50,000 -- installed within the past decade.
Both passed city inspection, but who knows if they will stand up to a storm whose size and ferocity may make Hurricane Andrew look like a weakling.
Even if it steers north or south -- a miracle to us equaling devastation to the Keys or county north of us -- and we get the effect of a Category 1 or 2 from the outer bands....we can count on days, likely weeks without power.
Heidi's wheelchair will run out of juice.
We will take cold showers and endure brutally hot South Florida late summer nights with no AC or fans.
Wilma and Katrina knocked out power in Little Havana for 5 and 7 days.
We lost the contents of the fridge, etc.
With every expert saying Irma is the worst on record, and something named Jose not far behind, we are actually rooting for a half month of no electricity and maybe $10K of damage.
That seems like just about the most fortunate scenario, along with hundreds of hours spent working to repair damage or volunteer to help neighbors harder hit or less fortunate.
For those of you in South Florida, we share your fear and trepidation.
For those of you in the rest of the U.S., please keep us in your thoughts.
Maybe skim off a little excess positive energy and send it our way.
As soon as we wake up from the nightmare, will try to post something to tell everyone we're surviving.

BEST BIRTHDAY IN SOME TIME YESTERDAY
October 22nd was a great day for me:
PlusUrbia Design was recognized for Wynwood work and making a difference in the future of Calle 8.
I'm married to the best wife a person could have for 3 decades running.
We live in an historic Little Havana house upgraded and within a few years of being paid off.
We love a beautiful rescue Siamese that has been in our lives for 2 years.
This blog passed 85,000 readers.
