I Walk Away

We had several reports of sightings by neighbors yesterday. That gave us hope, knowing that at least as of yesterday morning she had not left the community. We live in a close knit lakeside community and people were searching for her and asking, “have you found Callie yet?”
We were upset last night when we had severe weather. Not unusual here in Oklahoma, but not good for a lost cat. I was up early this morning and when I realized the rain had stopped decided to go back to the location of the last sighting. I thought that maybe she would be out in the early, quiet morning.
When I reached the top of the hill and looked out over the lake I was crying and praying, “God please keep my baby safe.” When I rounded the corner and looked between the two houses where she was last spotted I saw a familiar little face looking out of the grass. She didn’t run to me when called but I was able to easily pick her up with the help of her blanket and a few of her favorite snacks. She must have found a place to hide during the storm because she wasn’t even wet. It was the longest walk down that hill I have ever made, I was so anxious to get her home. After checking out each room in the house and having some food and water she curled up on a pillow and is now asleep.
Some might call the way she was found coincidence, but I call it Divine intervention. Thank you God!
I also want to thank you my readers and followers for your concern and prayers.
Wheat, rye, barley and oats are easy to remember but what are some of the other words we need to look for on food labels? The list below includes varieties and hybrids of wheat, trademarked names for wheat and wheat products, flours and products or ingredients made from wheat. Keep in mind this list is just intended to get you started, there are more.
I hope this list will help you get started in learning some of the other names for wheat and wheat products. Feel free to share others you may have found.

Oh where, oh where can she be?
Our beloved Callie is missing. I am heartbroken. We have searched the entire house over and over, shaking the treat bag as we go and calling her name. We have searched her favorite hiding spots and places she could be trapped. All the cabinet and closet doors are open. All day she has not come out for food or to use the box.
All we can assume is that she slipped past us as we were coming and going and got outside. We are not sure when — sometime between 8 pm last night (5/14) and 10 am today (5/15). We live in the country — there are predators and other dangers for a rather spoiled and protected house cat to face.
We have contacted the agency we registered her microchip with and they sent out an alert. I printed out a poster they created for us and have several of those out. We called our Vet and visited the local shelter. Our neighbors are looking for her. We have pretty much done all we can for now.
I am sensing nothing from her. Neither is Bob.
If you live in the Grove OK/Grand Lake area please keep your eyes out for our cute little calico with white paws and a white tummy.
UPDATE: Callie was found early Sunday morning (5/17) and is now recovering at home. For more details see https://espirational.com/2015/05/17/callie-cat-is-home/
