her prince

In Chrissie's imaginary world we are all delegated characters usually following a story or theme. In this picture, Rick was "her prince." So, she was feeling quite affectionate toward him.
When Chrissie is reenacting the Christmas nativity (her latest): she is Mary, Rick is Joseph, and I'm the "big cow." Lovely. And Matthew is the "little cow."

The Two Cats

the black cat and "whippie."

Rick and I were hippies for Halloween, or as Chrissie liked to call us "whippies." Rick's pants were too tight, which made him walk funny and I wore a shirt that said, "make love not war," and the words were conveniently located on the belly.
