This week in Sunday Snippets 1.26.25…

Supper At Kendra’s House:

Kendra and Marley invited me over for pork chops and potatoes on Friday night.

I probably don’t go out after dark more than once or twice a year, but it wasn’t dark when I left. It was nice of her to have me over, and I enjoyed chatting with my daughter and granddaughter.

When I came home, the three cats were in the same spot as when I left—the kittens were at the top of the cat tower. And Ivy was in the TV room, curled up in one of the blue chairs.

Oh, what fun there is in a house with three cats! They play and play, then plop down and sleep for a few hours before the fun begins again. If you’re thinking about getting a kitten, consider getting two.

The rescue where I got Simon and Daisy doesn’t allow you to adopt kittens under six months of age unless you adopt two. That way, they can play together and keep each other entertained.

Simon has become somewhat of a mama’s boy. He likes to be where I am. But the rest of the time, he chases and is chased by Daisy. I’ve noticed Ivy watching them play. You know that way cats have where they get really still and move down close to the floor? That’s what she’s doing. I’m just waiting for her to join the fun. Then she can work some of that weight off.

What I’m Watching/Streaming:

I’m watching Hidden Assets on Acorn TV.

Hidden Assets searches for and seizes profits from illegal enterprises. They follow the money trail until they find the person or person’s identity, then go after their money and assets.

I’m watching the first season, where there is a suicide bomber who detonates at a fashion show in Antwerp, Belgium. The show is set in Ireland and Belgium, with detectives working on both sides because the cases are linked.

The third season will be aired in the US later in 2025.

What I’m Currently Reading:

I’m reading Holly by Stephen King.

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and resourceful characters, returns in this chilling “exploration of grief and delusion, just pure undistilled evil” (New York magazine) as she uncovers the truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern town.

When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency, hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly Gibney is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just passed away. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny’s desperate voice makes it impossible to turn her down.

Meanwhile, mere blocks from Bonnie Dahl’s disappearance live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are also harboring a shocking, unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance.

And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to…for they are savvy, patient, and ruthless. Holly must summon her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver these unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries in this chilling and unforgettable masterwork from Stephen King.
