Still can’t figure it out. Well, I need help. My WordPress gurus are far away but maybe one of them can advise me when I wish to put in a code for a blog hop, for example: <!– start LinkyTools script –><p><b>Powered by Linky Tools</b></p><p><a...

No matter how you vote, this film is important for all Americans. It is not short, it is 37 minutes. But it is worth every minute you can give it. And this sweet video needs no words. And this one. Very short. Perhaps the most important of all. I cannot get this out of my mind. Ever. In memory of...

Well, feuilles is French for leaves, and mama is hoping that there will BE some someday in these cages. Preferably attached to tomato plants. The leaves, not the cages, although the cages WILL be attached, I suppose, in a way. Our neighbor, Jean, took one look and said they could blow away...

Mama, what’s that wonderful SMELL (even if I can’t have any…sigh)? Well, it’s that time again around here…coconut oil, olive oil, sweet onion, garlic, potato, leftover chicken, zucchini, tomato, coconut milk, chicken broth, a little white wine and, of course, all the spices toasted in a separate pan: cardamom, turmeric, Madras...

Is this a true story, mama? WOW. Well, yes, Loulou, this is a true and amazing experience and what a courageous little 12-year-old boy! But, mama, I just know that if I had been there I would have meowed way too loudly and probably ended up as hors d’oeuvres for that gigantic creature. I just hope the...

MAMA, WHAT’S THAT RACKET? Well, today was mow-the-very-large-backyard day next door and our neighbor (daddy of Sarah, the yapping Jack Russell) was running his machine for hours, it seems. Can’t a kitty get some snooze time around here? I mean, something like that could really...

Going over memories on Memorial Day Well, I think we should put all of the workers who strive to get us safely in and out of hospitals and out of danger from COVID-19 and all workers in general in our memory banks forever. Along with, of course, the veterans who served their country so well and so long. May they all find good health and places to...

Ahhhh…. Well, if there’s one thing I LOVE in this world, it’s being brushed! I actually go into a state of purrvana when mama does her beauty-parlour thing to my coiffure. My little tongue comes out and droops… Brush, brush, brush, my little head turns around like an owl as...

Mama, there’s someone at the door! Well, I finally found a picture of the wire, not that it is an earth-shaking kind of happening, but still.. Exciting, no? But just imagine nice, neat cages with tomato plants’ branches...

You can see how thrilled about all of this I am… Well, but mama is so excited because she finally got her tomato cage material, but she forgot to order the wire cutters, haha. And that stuff is tough! They’ll be here soon, but wait a minute! Mama says this is chicken wire but I don’t see...

For the birds! Well, are you all doing a lot of drinking? Haha, I don’t mean meowgaritas (thank you, Ernie) but I do mean H2O (and let’s be honest, meowgaritas). We are having a summer heat spell and I seem to be dipping into all the water buckets around here that mama puts out for me. There is something mysterious in each one for my...

I’m casing the joint! Okay, okay that’s a real stretch, haha. Lizzie Borden, right? Whoever that is. But mama saw the first gecko of summer on our wall this afternoon and did a double take, because geckos don’t really come out until June or July! I love watching them, but it’s a bit of a challenge to chase them, haha....

I think a rub is the best antidote for anything. Well, it seems there may be a vaccine soon, but I’m in the here and now and I seem to function best with a snuggle or rub from papa or holding paws with mama. Then and only...

My toilette items! Well, they’re writing songs of sanitary, la la la, but not for me, haha. These guys must really have a masochistic side if they love dipping and diving in that W word! I have never had the…er…impulse to jump in mama’s bubble bath tub (actually, I think she had one about a gazillion years ago but she...
Read MoreLoulou, we could take you to a museum, too, but you would have to keep your claws in. Canvas is fun to scratch on! Oh, this is priceless. Mama just LOVED this, especially the part about which artists the little darlings like best… BEAUTIFUL here, sun, and tomatoes going IN the ground on Monday. Wish...

TAKE THAT AND THAT! Well, as you can imagine, I am taking out my isolation frustration on my duvet (known in the south as a comforter, for good reason, haha, sort of like Southern Comfort, whatever that is) and first I give it a good KICK. Then I tackle it full force and bend it to my will! ...

So I’m just sitting here WAITING for those birdies to do something BAAAAD… Hey, out there, do you have those little sweet, FAST birdies who are nesting right now in rafters and so that when you go near their little home-under-construction they dive-bomb you (never actually hitting,...

Mama, what’s a little rain? Okay, okay, I’ll get soaked, that’s true. Still…I could get a little raincoat, no? Maybe borrow Mya’s. Well, mama finally got her bread-making video out there, now let’s see who actually does it! No one has reported yet but...

Oh, no, we may have to FIX THE VIDEO AGAIN! Well, it WAS vacant but now it’s UP on YouTube after brilliant papa found the slot, My Movie, where mama’s title was supposed to go. DUH… Here’s the worst part: mama actually SAW that My Movie thingy and put in her title two days ago but she had uploaded the wrong video, argggh....

OKAY, OKAY, we think it’s on YouTube and it is called Suzanne Dunaway’s Flash Focaccia. PLEASE CROSS FINGERS! Wait a minute…are we SURE? Mama is hoping there is a Valium or Xanax or Zen master in the house for...
