And the Numbers Game number is: 171







1.) Last year, we found an incredible small coffee shop called the Cat Alley Cafe in Manchester, New Hampshire. The walls along the fronting alley are covered with cat murals
2.) A few years ago I made a batch of these refrigerator magnets with gold leafed hand carved stars.
3.) The little sloop is from a run of boxes I did in the early ’90’s, nothing much, just pine and very simple, but each with a small boat carved into the top.
4.) Max, looking very sophisticated.
5.) a series of small combs made from cherry.
6.) A carving of the steam Yacht Zaida. From a builders drawing. Usually, the steam yachts relied on steam power for propulsion.
7.) My old Meerschaum pipe.

Max–be sure to growl when people say, “Those glasses make you look so smart.” I do.
Max in glasses – very cute!
Love the pipe. Only you know what he’s thinking. Care to share?
Thanks for showing us more of your handiwork…I could not figure out what the pipe was until I read your descriptions..couldn’t figure out what the plastic extension might be for.
Are they all for sale? I’ll take the dog, please (in exchange for a black cat).
Your black cat would corrupt my little angels!
He would. It’s all part of life’s rich tapestry.
