The "Dawn"ing of a New Age

I just found this picture and it reminded me of the fact that we're getting a new dishwasher tomorrow! You can tell by looking at it that the current one is no spring chicken. In fact, I think it's been around nearly as long as we have. And, we're quite tired of washing everything by hand.
The photo is also a reminder of how sweet and innocent Clementine, our youngest cat, used to be. Most of you who read this already know that it just ain't so any more! She's also grown quite a bit since then. I threw in some more updated photos just for the sake of comparison.

Here she is in a more recent photo — lounging where she isn't supposed to!
Here, she is watching her sister, Mojo, try to knock over some flowers in the bathroom. They are partners in crime, apparently!

Hmmm...I wonder who messed up the tablecloth! It couldn't be the cat on the table with the guilty look on her face.

I guess we're the only ones who love that Clemmie! Since she can't be seen in public — for the simple fact that she might maul our guests — it's worth showing her off in a safe way every now and then.
