WHAT WAS THAT? It sounds as if some nutcase is throwing pebbles at our windows! Well, I was just ruminating on what is going on around here with huge thunderclouds and then HAIL everywhere and then suddenly, it all stops and it’s 75 degrees and sun and mama has gone out in a down jacket and is ranting and raving about the schizophrenic weather and...

                  Hey, is that the way to spell rhinosceros-es?  Actually, there is only one here that suddenly appeared in Rome, placed near a monument by artist, Aldo Fendi.  We HAVE to see that!  And mama is trying to find things to do with little anthros  (well, not so little) and discovered La Casa di...

            WHERE DOES THAT STARWARS GUY  GET OFF, INVADING MY COMPUTER? Well, we’re ALMOST there…I’m deep breathing…in, out, in, out… My photos, it turns out, are possibly not on the same wave length as they were on the PC, so….we are thinking that my guru, Piyush, will change what is known...

                (Papa is NOT!) Mama is in HEAVEN with her computer working like a well-oiled…er…sewing machine or whatever, maybe a Ferrari?  But groans were heard from papa’s office when his printer jammed, the internet went on vacation, and the wifi joined it. It doesn’t shower but it...

Well, there’s the old moon again, full and bright and beautiful here in Roma, shining over the monuments from so long ago and making mama lose sleep!   Does that happen to you?  Full moon, wide awake for hours.  I think it’s because she is a moon child, July, and the moon seems to affect her when full and powerful! Have you heard of the...

Hey, just getting a few licks in before finishing off this blog, plus I come first before mama’s bath. Now here is something none of us in this house ever knew! Is this amazing or what? Mama is going out to buy a red neck bandana tomorrow, and woe to him/her who uses the term in a derogatory way ever again around mama.  She was guilty of misusing the...

Well, this is a first.  This was published in 2014 but today is the Rome Marathon and I thought it important to talk a little about what makes a marathon a marathon. FEET, that’s what.  Unless it is a special marathon for the handicapped. So I wish to think about how to protect one’s feet, just in case one has the idiotic urge, as a kitty, to...

I have? “I have found it” is what that means and mama just found out that she can copy and paste things from the internet without having to put them through another app as she has been doing for months, using Picture Paste (no longer on the market). Hallelujah!  She just simply copies MY pic from the internet site on which my pics reside, and...

              Mama, you did WHAT again? Well, mama and papa went out with some friends to have dinner on this gloriously warm, summery night here in Roma, and I, naturally, being saner than they, stayed home to nibble kibble and watch TV–they put on the cartoons and I climbed on the couch and was happy as a...

                      Free, at last!  And there was no Room Service! Well, I am NOT going to bore you with mama’s “opportunity”, which a contractor friend of hers called ”problem”…. Her change from PC to Mac with Adobe Organizer is sheer hell. That’s all I will say, as we...

                      Well, actually, it’s city, ho, as we are now installed in the apartment, I, under the bed on my little blanket that mama used as a bebe and mama and papa installed with something in a glass that looks pretty effective for relaxing after this ordeal, haha. What a trip!  You...

  WHEN DO WE GET OFF THIS THING? That’s what I’m going to ask you to have today–just imagine me sliding across the sea, dressed in my little sailor suit, my black and white streaked fur blowing in the soft salt breeze, my paws on the porthole sill as I gaze at the setting sun (this, after supping at the Captain’s Table on...

WOWEE!!! Bounding waves, here I come! (Just kidding, kicking up my heels because I’ve had Beaphar, haha.) Well, Atcad commented that mama’s suitcases look pretty small, but I think it was the wide-angle lens, whatever that is, and mama laments taking too much on every trip. And then everyone says, oh, you can just buy what you need, and mama...

We’re not going ANYWHERE yet without a little silliness in the day! Well, don’t you feel just sort of silly and weird on some days and start singing that ancient jingle, “Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” or any goofy song you can pull out of your little pea brain?  I don’t sing any ditty like Doggy In The...

                  Well, today, I just have to put in two links, one of which will convert ANY dogs-only or rabbits-only or gerbils-only family to a LET’S-GET-A-KITTY-NOW family. This second one from Mya’s maman is just fun to know about. Today is Columbus Day and I quote from a description of one...

              No, I’m not helping with gardening…you have Frederic and I have YOGA practice! Well, mama and her helper, Frederic, a really nice guy from the neighborhood who does the heavy work, have been at it all afternoon because mama’s guru, Jean, says that if the broad beans (feves en francais) are...
