Parallel lines are two lines that never meet. They may be several feet apart, or they may be just an inch apart --- they will never touch each other.
A good example of parallel lines is Mom and the edge of the bed. Look carefully and you will see that, although there is scarcely an inch between the edge of Mom and the edge of the bed, they never touch each other.
Perpendicular lines are lines that meet at right angles to each other. Where they touch each other makes a right angle.
A really good example of perpendicular lines is Arn and Mom in the bed. You can see that Arnold's hind toes touch Mom's back. See... when he stretches his toes his hind legs push on Mom's back at a right angle. There's almost enough force to make the edge of Mom touch the edge of the bed. But not quite.
And there is your geometry lesson for the day.

Foof
I was on facebook... yes, playing scramble YET again... and my friend Jane was also logged on and she started chatting with me.
I was chatting and typing then I leaned way back to stretch my back and THAT'S when Foof decided she needed to park on me. On my chest. She kneaded my neck for a little bit then hunkered down. I couldn't see to type.
Then she moved. Whew.
Now she's parked on the chair beside me as I type this, having ceased playing scramble for today.

Arnold and His Sock
I took this at the old house. It's Arnold. Playing with his sock. His old sock. It got lost in the move. Now he has a new one. So does Foof. Hers is black and it matches herself.

Audrey Parks
Audrey-kitty was so cute this weekend! She kept parking with people - mostly cb.
Sit on the couch, arrange your knees just so, spread out kb's blue blanket and, next thing you know! there's a kitty parked with you!
