Three Beautiful Things 04-12-2025: We Are Museum Members, Animal/Natural World Books, Why Leave Today?

1. I enjoyed the scale and the exhibitions so much at the Northwest Museum of Culture and Arts on Friday that today I enrolled Debbie and me as members of the museum.

2. The other day, Debi Mc posted a mountain lion blissing out in a cardboard box and it reminded me of when I read Cougars on a Cliff. I told Debi about that book and how much I've enjoyed the handful of books about animals and the natural world  I've read or listened to  since moving to Kellogg. She wondered if I'd send her a list of those books and I did.

3. I thought about cruising over to CdA and doing some shopping at Costco, but I was very comfortable at home with Gibbs and Copper. The NYTimes releases its Sunday crossword puzzle online on Saturday afternoon and I had a salad to make for Sunday's family dinner -- so, I stayed home, worked the puzzle,  made the salad, and decided Costco would most likely still be there in the next couple of days or weeks.
