Curiouser and curioser (whatever that means)…
You know, mama is real dense sometimes, not to say vague about some information, and she (and I, too) have forgotten just which part of the world you wonderful blogger friends live. For example, I know that one of you lives in the Pacifc Northwest and another lives in a small Virginia town.
We don’t need particulars, just doing a sort of survey of what parts of the world you blog from or inhabit. For sure, there is one reader from South Africa, and another from Texas, some from California, one from Vancouver, one from Kentucky…you get the picture.
So if you don’t mind parting with your position on this planet, please do let us know, just for fun.
I mean what if mama accidently orders (by accident) 6 more boxes of my kitty geleé and it goes astray in some part of the world we don’t know about. Then what? There just might be someone, a reader, or a blogger, just where those gazillion boxes landed and mama could tell Amazon, hey, it’s okay, we have a friend in that place and he/she/it/they can have our order, since you guys have already sent us SIX boxes last week that will last into the next century!
See why we’d like to know? But don’t worry, if you don’t feel okay with divulging your area – if you’re on the lam, whatever that is, or like to be private, or just don’t feel like sharing longitudes and latitudes, NO PROBLEM. I’m cool with that.
Hey, just idle curiousity. Typical of kitties, right?
Your mama is absolutely right, Loulou – Africa does get into your blood. Hope she gets to visits again soon.
Oh, she loved those warthogs…..
Just like the Eastside Cats, we live in Michigan in the Metro Detroit area…on the island of Grosse Ile…which sits in the Detroit River between the US and Canada. We can see Canada from here!
Oh, do you know one another in Michigan? How wonderful to be neighbors. And mama lived in Calgary years ago, other side of Canada, but loved the Canadians. Thank you for letting us know your coordinates.
Lovely Loulou, I live in Cape Town, South Africa with my wonderful husband, Justin and our sweet (sometimes), Tortoiseshell cat, Queenie.
Well, you know how mama feels about Capetown!!! Lovely, lovely, wonderful South African wines and wine country, through which she and papa drove years ago. Mandela’s island was formidable…..
and mama’s stepdaughter lived in Pretoria and mama visited Soweto and wanted to start a bakery there. A very moving experience. Africa gets into one’s blood, mama says, and never leaves.
Well – no cats here – but I’m a doggie! BUT I like cats – unlike so many dogs. We live in Nice – where it’s HOT (for now) but more temporate than most of France. We read that Coronavirus is zooming here – so we will wait and see where we will go in September. Maybe Itale? It’s not far! And less coronavirus than France and Spain and Portugal (for now)!
Oh, Mya, I wouldn’t travel yet at all. I ‘m with you. And Nice is NICE!!!!
We are in Northeast Ohio . But with all the floods in Europe we are worried about some of the bloggers we know from there. We have seen posts from Gattina but none from Binky & Granny.
Oh, no, Binky and Granny! I hope they are all right. We hear from them daily, no?
We live in the Upstate of South Carolina, the Greenville area. It’s exactly half way between Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA.
OH, mama had a friend from Greenville whom she loved but lost track of after college. Beautiful country.
I live in Scottsdale, AZ in the winter and Pinetop, AZ in the summer. We love France and visit as often as we can.
How lovely to have a place in winter and summer. But Arizona has great weather, no? Pretty hot sometimes, mama says. She used to go on car trips through Arizona from Texas to Canada.
I do not have a blog I just read yours and others like yours. I have 3 cats and a husband. We live in California in the San Francisco Bay Area. 🐱🐱🐱
Oh, mama lived there for four years at the top of Vallejo street with views of the bridges. She says it was one of the prettiest views she’d ever had and get this: $50 a month. Dates her, doesn’t it? No parking anywhere so the tenants of the apartments just parked because they had to and they all got tickets and went down to the mayor’s office and handed him hundreds of parking tickets that they would not pay and the tickets were forgiven. I think you can park there now but mama hasn’t been back for a long time.
Loulou, Eastside Cats lives north of Metro Detroit, in the great state of Michigan. We live in the house that The Hubby was a child in…I refuse to say “he grew up” here! I know of three cat bloggers in Michigan, and I’ve met two of them in purrson, and am making plans to do so again soon. We’ve had to put off any lunches out during the pandemic, but we are all vaccinated and ready to hit the road…so to speak.
Certainly hope none of your food goes astray, Loulou!
Oh, yes, a great state! Papa had to visit an author in upper peninsular Michigan once and he still talks about it. I think it took 3 airplanes to get there. It was Marqette and John, correction, Robert Traver, the author of Anatomy of a Murder.
Wow, he met John Traver!
The Hubby and I recently rewatched the film made from the book, with Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick.
We live about as far away in Michigan as one can get from that part of the UP (Upper Peninsula), however I enjoy visiting there whenever I can.
We live close enough to Lake St. Clair (not a Great Lake, but a big lake nonetheless) that we can see parts of Canada from across the water. In fact, friends who are Canadian have made me an honourary Canadian! That’s because I grew up watching professional hockey…hahaha!
Papa says that maybe you live where it’s not so BRRRRR, cold. He froze to death on that visit but it was really an experience. Interesting man, for sure.
Mistake! It’s Robert Traver, sorry about that, and he became a Michigan State Supreme court justice as John Voelker. Traver was his pen name. Papa says it was COLD up there…really cold!
Well dear Loulou I am the friend who lives in a small Virginia town (although you may have others from my beautiful state!). We are in Warrenton, Virginia which is an hour and a half (sometimes more/sometimes less) from Washington, DC. We love living in the country – the mountains are close and it is “horse country” out here. If we accidentally get a plane load of food from you (haha) we will immediately (well….almost immediately) make sure it gets to you before you faint from hunger! Honest!
Hugs, Teddy
OH, THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. Mama spent one year at school in Virginia…long story, but oh, what a beautiful state, she says.
There are some…..interesting girls schools around here. If it was one of those – well – I’m sure a year felt like ten years. HAHAHAHA
You are so right. It is a 4-year college, and mama had good professors but…oh…the rest. Mama had her cap set for California and Stanford or Reed or anything not the Lynchburg one. Still, some life lessons learned there.
