The Capital City Hittys, for whom I speak, are so pleased to have been selected as a stop on the tour of Hitty Geneva Grace Stratton, named for the 19th century naturalist and author, who was better known by the name “Gene.” As the second of eight stops on her tour, we were fortunate enough to have Hitty Geneva’s arrival occur during a reasonably nice period of weather.

Hittys crowd the box in an attempt to get the first glimpse of our famous visitor.
We took her first to meet the rest of the family.

Everyone wants to meet Geneva.

Becassine helps settle her into the guest quarters

Tucked in, lights out.
After a good night’s sleep, Geneva and I accompanied our Person to work.

We got to the office early.

Geneva meets Miss Legal Eagle, our Person's DD and paralegal for the West End office.

She meets one of the attorneys

She learns to do input to the Best Case bankruptcy program

... to perform means testing and calculate 6-month income averages, ...

... and she answers the phone (hey, this is a call from the attorney of record - hi, Richard).
One of Geneva’s most imporant tasks was sitting at the reception desk to greet clients as they entered, offering them a lovely souvenir pen.

These are very nice pens, and so purple!! Geneva liked this job best.
One of the more unexpected encounters was with the office monkey. The firm’s attorney is always saying that he wants the monkey off his back and on someone else’s (usually the client’s). So Miss Legal Eagle made sure the monkey was in a better location and in the least amount of trouble possible.

Geneva Grace met the office monkey off Richard's back and up in the branches of the office Ficus tree.
It was fun going to work with Person, and I hope to do it again. Hitty Geneva Grace also seemed to enjoy her time there, but she’s an outdoor sort of gal, much like the woman for whom she is named, so we are plotting future adventures for her outdoors.
