Sunday I woke and watched the clock from about 8:45 to 9am. I was exacted to meet a fellow elephant collector and pass on some of my favorite elephants. We were to meet at 9:30 and I didn’t want to be too early so I waited and waited.
 
I got to Cathy’s place and when I got to the door I knew I was in the right place - there are Elephants greeting her guests.
 
Meeting Cathy was a great moment. I knew the second I looked in her eyes that she would appreciate and love the elephants as much as I have. I got a tour of their house and her collection, it’s amazing how many elephants there are. I maybe have 10 that are the same as her. Cathy and her husband are guessing about 300 elephants in her collection, I have a feeling it’s 400 or more.
 
Her collection varies as well: glass, jade, a candy dish, a little kids table, a piggy bank that was made for her and the list goes on. I was in aw of the collection – and I think only an other elephant collector would understand this excitment.
 
I was able to sit down with them for about an hour, they’d been married over 50 years and raised 10 kids in the house they were living in – and built! Lovely people and hope to keep in touch.
 
As I drove away I realized I had forgotten some thing – I should have taken a picture of Cathy and I.
 
Thank you Cathy for opening your heart and giving my friends a new home!
