Childless Cat Ladies Unite

Hi, I have 3 cats and a stray who stops by sometimes. I live in Tucson, Arizona, and am a retired teacher. I don't think of myself as a teacher, though, and haven't stepped foot in a classroom since I retired 4 years ago. I like reading and gardening. I majored in Painting and Drawing, but now I'm doing pottery. I enjoy going to art openings and craft festivals. Right now, I'm reading, "The New Tourist" by Paige McClanahan. It discusses the "Hippie Trail", which I caught the tail end of, after Iran put an end to the "Magic Bus". I tried a couple of cruises, but would never again participate in that awful, environment-destroying industry again. If there is anyone out there who can relate to me, I would love to hear from you.
