In former days, when hobos were common, they had a shared vocabulary of "hobo signs." They were chalked or scratched on pavements or fenceposts in front of houses, as advice to those who might follow. The smiling cat, above, meant "Kind-Hearted Woman."  I'd like to think I'm a kind-hearted woman; but I confess I was attracted to the sign because of the cat.

My name is Glenda Moore. I live in Utah with my husband and our cats. I collect spun glass figures and seashells, pictures of whales and dolphins, clipper ship replicas, and so on, and have created a nautical room in our house. Occasionally, I build dollhouses or miniature rooms (and doll furniture) from scratch.
