This is my new friend 
) his name is Bam Bam. He’s a 62 lb Bob Cat. Yes, I said he’s a real live Bob Cat….teeth and all.
I’ve actually got a picture of him yawning so you can see the teeth. He really is friendly. All though the first time he started to purr at me I thought he was growling and I must have jumped about 6 feet back. He had poked his nose out of the cage so I could pet him. So of course I did. And just like any other cat he started to purr and rolled over so I could scratch his tummy. I’ll post some of the better shots so you can see how friendly he is.
He currently lives at a property I just sold. So he’ll be moving soon.
Sometimes you really do meet the most interesting people and their pets while you’re showing their homes.
If anyone else has a real interesting pet and needs to sell their house just let me know. I love animals. I promise to take extra care with your pet.

Beehive Books & More in Edgewood certainly lives up to it’s name. Looking at the photos you see the front of the store. One shot showing the south end of the building (Beehive Books) and the next shot shows the north end of the building (H & H supply). This building has been part of Edgewoods history. It’s been here in different forms for years, and has been remodeled so many times that it can’t be verified for sure what is was to begin with. Some of the old timers think that it could have been the site of the first school house.
Currently it houses Beehive Books and More at one end and H & H Supply at the other end. H & H at one point occupied the entire building. Even though Beehive Books has been in the building for over 3 years they still get people walking in looking for lawn mowers. I’ve actually been in the store and watched people walk get a confused look on their face and ask “What happened to the lawn mower store?”
Beehive Books is much more than just a book store. They do have a wide selection of spiritual books, paintings and other pieces of art work. They maintain clothes and supplies for the Boy Scouts of America. Along with having a line of Baby/Blessing Dresses, modest Formal Gowns, Wedding Dresses, and Men’s suits.
They stock candles and bath and body products from Salt City Candles. They have a variety of kitchen appliance from Bosch.
They even have one corner of the store set aside for custom picture framing. They specialize in restoration and preservation of heirloom photographs. They have the experience to do any number of things. I recently had them frame an item that my mother brought back with her from a vacation in Egypt. A painting done on Papyrus paper. I’ve taken a few shots of the inside of the store. The last photo is of the painting I had framed. It may look plain but papyrus paper is very hard to work with as it naturally wants to roll up. If you look closely you can see the edges of the print. I’ve got another print at home just waiting for its turn. I’m so glad I’ve found an expert so close to home. I’d recommend Steve for any framing or restoration work.
