Yep, that’s my new brooch. I would have liked something more, well, Victorian, but THEY gave e no choice! I used to have clout around here! Hey, at least I still own the BED! No arguing with that! But I would have liked a four poster, maybe a canopy…...

Mama, I think I’m blurry…NO, NOT FURRY, BLURRY! Sharpen up, mama. Okay, I’m having breakfast, enough of this. What is this anyway? At least the duck fat’s there this time! But mama, THIS PHOTO IS ALSO BLURRY! Jeez, Louise, can we get some professional help around here? Wait a minute! What was in that duck fat, mama? I’m feeling a little psychedelic!...

I look challenged, right? These were challenging fill-ins, wow! But here goes: 1, I would rather hear nails on a chalkboard than _see children throwing tantrums and no supervision. I’m with Ellen on this one! 2. The best part of _being a kitty is _HEY, BEING A KITTY!!! 3. I wouldn’t mind if _the orange-hair idiot and the horrendous hateful...

Well, I’m back. Looking pretty ‘at home’, right? They upped the ante on the jab, so maybe that will do some magic. At least I eat. And I’m thankful for that, for sure, and so are mama and papa. I would be even more thankful if my guru could find out why WordPress is not delivering my blog to some readers! I’ve had complaints...

…and let’s hope NOT for tribulations! That’s papa up there getting me ready for the voyage to vet! Arggggh Here’s the poop…er…story: Mama and papa took me to our vet last night to see why I was not eating property and why my Freestyle graphs for glucose were all over the map, up and down and sideways and so on, and a...

Well, we thought rosies would be a happy spark for today. Beauty always makes us feel a little better when life presents obstacales. I almost wrote abstacles, which probably means a new word by mama that keeps one from losing belly fat, haha. Do you smile in your sleep? Mama says I smile when I’m flat conked out like this. Hmm…maybe dreaming of...

Well, I was just holding hands with papa because he was feeling bad about me not eating properly and I didn’t want him to worry. I need to eat more right now so we’ll see if this little 4-day pill THEY are attempting to camouflage in my food (haha, bonne chance) will give me a bit more appetite. Oh, you say I took it, mama? I thought that was...

Well, I’m tuckered in tbis heat, but I snapped a few shots of our Garden Guru’s garden, which is pretty spectacular. Our neighbor is growing tomatoes, shallots, onions, garlic, zucchine (zucchina is singular, zucchine is plural but what the heck, it’s in the language now as zucchini so zucchini it is) grapes, oranges, kumquats,...

1. I think __processed foods__ is are a waste of money__when they are often way more expensive than healthy, fresh foods! 2. Lately, I spend a lot of time __lol-ing…that’s “lolling” but I still do giggle out loud sometimes! 3. Just being alive_is the craziest thing on my bucket list. (Around HERE!) 4. __National...

A pause during a very complete toilette, a good sign for afflicted kitties…. Well, we are not having actual fights with tomatoes and bread and soup and things but mama and papa are fighting to stimulate my appetite. Frankly, I even look scrawny to myself, especially around the rear… I, the roly-poly have-to-lose-a-kilo kitty! And by the way,...

Just jabbed and hanging out… Well, clearly these are not weeds, but they don’t say much. Burpee Big Boys – touted to get to a kilo! Each, that is. With this weird weather, not sure of that. San Marzanos starting, for sauce. Japanese shisu – took over the garden this year! For sushi and Japanese dishes. Cornu tomatoes that will grow...

Cheek and ear rubs are the BEST! Short post, sweet readers. My levels seem to be within normal range, which means mama actually hits the mark with her magic “pen” and I rarely say “ouch”… I’m just feeling a bit more able to handle things today. A good feeling. I am outside enjoying the wild soft winds in our neighborhood...

(Sorry about the photo angle, little doggy…) Oh, boy, this is a first. I was at the vet. A very sweet old doggie that looked like a little pig was at the vet. My doc said I needed a little pill to give me appetite and fix…er…other things of the tummy. I came home from the vet after a shot for arthritis called solensia. Late in the...

Well, today’s selfie includes my private elevator operator but parts will be obscured to protect his identity, haha. You know who he is anyway, right? On Monday I am getting another jab of what is purported to be magical for arthritic kitties and we’ll see if I even NEED an elevator guy after that. I may be helping HIM upstairs,...

Before AND AFTER, HAHA. I foxed that old Loonypic, no? They are such fun! Well, between jabs I actually do sometimes get up enough steam to show affection for my favorite toy and mama decided to make it into a shoot. Whatever that is. I’ve never known anyone who shoots bananas, but around this crazy place, you can find almost anything, haha. Mama, is...

(It’s Fry-day, and I’m not moving until I smell that fish sizzling in olive oil…) But meanwhile: 1. A fun way to celebrate Christmas in July is __STUFFED TURKEY AND STUFFED TURKEY . 2. My favorite summer activity is _ looking for the best sun puddle with a nearby touch of shade and breeze. 3. When I sleep, my dreams are _very verbal but...

Well, that’s what I’m doing these last few evenings, with Mr M up there, almost full and so lovely coming over the horizon (mama missed that pic…Mr M is up already). I think gazing at the moon and thinking about the MOL or meaning of life, or moon-bathing, as mama calls it, is a perfect thing to do on a Wordless Wednesday. It takes a lot...

Well, here I am again (new pic) with my personal elevator. We are thinking about other things today so let me just say that the sun is out, the breeze is soft and lovely, and I will go in tomorrow to THAT PLACE to have them see how I’m doing with this sugar stuff… I actually don’t want to know much about it. As long as I have my personal...

I hope it was all right to use this beautiful photo from Little Binky’s blog. I’m afraid there are no sparks today, only tears, except perhaps the spark of sweet friendships from all of those who adored Little Binky and the lovely walks through the garden with granny and the funny and wonderful comments on nature and life and family and the...
