            Well you won’t believe it, but this is a first! Okay, maybe a second, but I can’t remember when mama and papa last had a HAMBURGER for dinner!  They can’t either… Mama is a minimal red meat eater in her old ag…er…as she grows less young, and papa is sort of losing his taste for...

              HEY, mama, what do you THINK I’m doing? Well, I have a new hang-out place in the garden and mama is giving me that Loulou-where-on-earth-have-you-been look, and HAHA, it is ON EARTH, MAMA, HAHA! Mama’s wild asparagus bed is a perfect place to roll around and stretch and get myself COVERED in...

              Well, today mama is remembering several kitties in her past so I’m going along with that. Above  is Fiat, found at a Fiat car  company as a  kitten but they  didn’t want  him.   He spent his life  terrorizing Puss, a kitty (of the downstairs neighbor) who was a terror herself.  They were amicable...

              You think I look mad?  You haven’t SEEN MAD!!! Well, when they go away, I get a little miffed, but instead of being crazy mad and going out to rip up the tomato plants or worse (I couldn’t do that because Mya love cherry tomatoes, so you get it…), I take it all out on my toys.    ...

                    Well, I never thought I would quote that old song, but I am feeling a bit lonesome for my mama and papa, especially papa right now since I hear from mama that he is barely able to walk a block or two without having to sit and rest. Let’s hope this doc next week can fix...

                      Sort of. I mean, I COULD forget them but somehow I just can’t bring myself to do it. Even abandoned. THEY are off for three days because papa has to make some plans with docs who will fix his back next week, and the docs are not in our ville but instead are in Montpellier....

              Haha, that stands for Thank God It’s Fish!  Mama is making salmon and oh, boy, do I get a nice little chunk of that, sautéed in olive oil and a bit crispy skin on the outside, or what? So Friday is a pretty nice day around here, not to mention that those crazy tourterelles seem to be invading our patio...

              Well, I’m going to cheat today because mama is somewhere else doing something obviously more important than HELPING ME and so I took her iPhone and snapped a couple of mug shots and even though it’s not Sunday, I’m on a Selfie roll!               Hey,...

                  Are you kidding?  I’m not touching my kitty food when I can have curry!  Haha, just kidding.  It smells really good but it’s not on my menu. So mama’s on a roll right now, making Southeast Asian and Indian curries, and cheating a bit by serving them both with Indian chapatis...

            I just have to get out in that darkness and make sure things are okay! Well, we are going to have a week with highs in the 80s and I, for one, am pretty happy about this because it means summer is not giving way to fall YET and that we will have lovely, sweet evenings outdoors where I can peruse the...

Hi, everyone, be sure to have a pad and pencil (remember them?) ready for your lesson. First, take control like this, spreading yourself all over the...

              YOU MISSED PUPPETS? Are you NUTS? Oh, mama is such a stick-in-the-mud, or sand, as the case may be here… Last night on  our beaches (there are three) there were Catalan boats coming in from out at sea and on the decks, there were double lifesize dancing puppets all  in white and manipulated by anthros...

            Well, haha, after having goofed royally by publishing Monday’s musings on SUNDAY, I’ll have to do penance for sure by cutting my nap short by at least 5 minutes.  That’s punishment for any kitty!  Maybe stick at 4… I sort of self-inflict these “punishments” because I don’t...
