Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Today is my Name Day!! 

Does anyone else celebrate their name days?  I have for three years.  We first heard of it when we read The Golden Name Day, which is a really good book, that I highly recommend by Jenni Lindquist.  (I also recommend it's two sequels, The Little Silver House, and... um...  I think it's called The Crystal Tree)

So anyway, mom always gives me a book, (or really, two, starting today)

I can't remember what I got the first time, but last year I got The Nines Lives Of Fankle The Cat, (or something similar), and today I got The Little Silver House, and Girlwood. 

My mom was going to give me The Golden Name Day today, but she forgot to get anything for Easter, and wanted to give me something, so she gave it to me then instead.  :D 

Has anyone read Girlwood?  I've never heard of it before, and was wondering if it was good!  :P 

Sorry, that was odd.  Anyway, for a touch of even more random randomness:

Yesterday, my mom opened a can of tuna.  

Before she did, she said to me, watch the cats, and see what they do.  Casey wasn't in the house, as far as I could tell, so I just watched JoJo.  Well, the moment she started to open the can, JoJo perked up and stared really hard in the direction of the kitchen.

Next thing we know, the backdoor swings open a little, and Casey comes running in!  (here JoJo gets up to chase her into the kitchen)

We have no idea how she does it, but every time my mom opens a can of tuna, she shows up, no matter where she is, or what she's doing!  It's like she has radar in her brain, or something!!!!

And it doesn't happen with just any can, it has to be something she likes.  :)

Sorry, I'm not the best story teller!!!  :D
