Chez Katynka, Spring 2000
OdinI'm afraid you won't find pictures of Katynka on this page, but I am sure she'd agree that it's much more important to feature pictures of Odin, her cat. He's very shy around strangers, and I consider myself lucky even to have been able to take this picture. Most of the time we were visiting, he hid out in other parts of the house. But here he is in his full glory. He's a very handsome cat.
Stairs 1Katynka has a beautiful old house in a small town in Central Pennsylvania. I like this picture of her stairs becuase you can see what a great job she did on the wallpaper in the hallway. It's textured wallpaper, with a pattern of leaves, and she hung it herself and painted it green, then used different shades of green to glaze it for texture. It's gorgeous!
Stairs 2Odin in action -- playing with a yellow bird attached above him with elastic. What a great toy!
BoysMarty in Katynka's living room. I love the dark woodwork in this house, and the way the light comes in the front door. Note the alarmed cat on the floor next to the chair. He's wondering why Marty gets to sit in his chair. (And yes, the living room is strewn with cat toys. You expected something else?)
