Thanks to photographyblogger.com for this nice Texas photo Well, mama called me to say that she couldn’t talk long because she was passing out from decalage horaire (accent on the first ‘e’) and couldn’t let me in on all the news from abroad (that’s as in ‘Europe’, not as in ‘mama’, haha) and so...

     Well, I’m just a little put out with news from Texas and mama’s trip to see her brother because all she and papa talk about when they call me is their search for the best CATFISH! Should I be offended or WHAT?  Can you imagine telling me such a thing?  You’d think they would have better things to do on a...

  My pattes won’t work!  (I’m trying to do this blog on an Ipad and frankly, it is just not like my compuuter but I thought I had better learn for emergencies.  Like now.) Have you ever noticed that after a long journey by air that when you get up to leave the plane, your pins wobble? Well, mama’s do. Even after two days on...

Some days I wish I had not gone online at all… Oh, boy, what are we coming to?  I was perusing today’s headlines online and saw, with horror, that there was one saying, “Watch 3d animation of downed flight” and I almost took my computer and dumped it in the trash. Why would anyone want to see that horrible event, that terrible...

Well, mama’s cousin sent her this video of an homage to Austin’s SXSW, South By Southwest music festival, which is one of the most important festivals in the USA.  Now the cousin is not exactly an Austin-lover so it was especially touching that he would send this.  Between Houston and Austin, evidently, there is no love lost, Austin being a...

Blue is for sadness.  I send condolences to the families and friends of those on the Germanwings flight that crashed. Well, they arrived safely at wherever it is they were headed but only after a SIX hour layover in NEWARK and then a plane that sort of vibrated funny but was okay but mama was on edge anyway because of that very sad...

What IS this thing? And why are THEY filling it up? I’m outta here… All I know is that I’m not going to be put in it and go with them so ciao, ciao, bambini, and don’t feel guilty at ALL that I’m not invited to visit your brother and sister in law and everyone else on the planet, evidently, because I am NOT sensitive about...

Normally people WALK where you see water. Now it’s for ducks! Well, mama says our little town has a new river coursing through it after such heavy rains and it’s really very exciting, the waves breaking over the walkway around our town’s chateau and little kids leaping out the way of the waves and mama sloshing right through them in her...

Today I am sending my warmest thoughts to Jan at Jan’s Funny Farm and all of her wonderful and spirited animals who have lost their friend and companion, Cameron.  A kind kitty who never started fights and was snuggling up to Jan just last night but decided to move on after that.  But think of this:  a Tuxedo kitty like Cameron goes out in style! ...

Is this healthy? Recently a friend of mama’s was telling her about another friend who had quoted Mrs. Simpson (king-stealer, remember her?) as saying, “You can never be too rich or too thin”, the friend having had eating problems all of her life. Questionable observations, both of them. But let’s get to the “too thin”...

This will turn into a birthday cake, mark my words! You’ll see it tomorrow. Ha, ha that’s a pun if I ever made one! Mama’s in there making a cake for her cousin who is on the road tomorrow from Spain and arriving in the afternoon, she and papa hope around drink time, which is a good time to greet cousins! Then she thought about her...

Well a friend of mama’s put this on Facebook and it’s just too real for words so I am “borrowing” it for today’s lifting of hearts. How kitties train their anthros: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJL6MocMxZo And don’t ask me how I got this on my blog!!! It just happened a minute ago and this has never happened before. I...

I know, I know that sounds a bit like “Debbie Does Dallas”, whatever that was, but I was actually helping today with the booze-making to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. More lemons coming off the tree or the new spring flowers will not have enough energy to make nice BIG lemons like these.  So mama was out there this morning, sun pouring down,...

We bow down to you, oh Loulou, our mascot kitty.  But where are we? We’re certainly not here today! OH, NO, are we loose in the streets? HAH. A donkey-herder! Not doing too well, is he…? Hey, whither thou goest… Hey, where are those guys??? Their parking lot temp abode is empty but of course it’s pouring rain and those poor little...

Some people won’t eat anything that has a face…I respect that, but… …are there exceptions? You know, I’m actually the one who reads about all these things I write about, and so I’m going to write from MY heart and let mama and papa in on things when I feel like it or when I need their help, but actually, I’m a...

Well, mama and papa went off to some Celtic dancer thing and I had NO ONE to help me do my blog plus I was a bit miffed because I happen to LOVE Celtic dancing and not to take me was WRONG, that’s all there is to it. and so I dug out some snuggle pics to make myself feel better and decided to call today’s blog what I called it and so here are...

Well, the fishermen around here had good luck today! And I certainly had some NICE things happen to me on Friday, 13th, and aren’t weird things supposed to happen today?  Like the milk sours, you slip on a banana peel, it pours rain on your newly planted seeds, or the store down the street runs out of Purina croquettes? (For urinary care, by the way,...

You know what’s great?  When a friend of mine sends me something in an email (yes, I get emails!) and I open it in the morning and it’s such a great email that I start off my day on a really nice note and try to continue that for the rest of the day.  So this morning, a friend sends a video of Gene Kelly (not sure who he is but mama knew for...

Well, here’s one of those guys…and I have my eye on that meat! Wow, this title sounds like Gunfight At The Okay Corral…it was sort of like that: Well, Rungis just happens to be the HUGE early morning market in Paris where all the restaurants go to get their produce and fish and meat and mama just happened to be given the chance years ago to...
