  I’m posing so that you see the resemblance to my cousin… …who lives in the Largo Argentina, which is a cat refuge near where we stay. Oui, oui, it’s true I was/am a French kitty, but I did travel often to Rome with mama and papa  several times and so I do have memories of my visit and now can see all the lovliness whenever I...

That is one BIG hole, mama. Doesn’t the rain come in? No? Wow, good architect! The Pantheon with its famous hole in the ceiling… So many statues to perch upon and survey the antics of the “senate and people of Rome”…senatus et populus qua romanus”…on every Roman manhole cover and elsewhere on public properties....

I smell CHICKEN! Well, more on that later. Mama really should have helped me put in the anecdote about Bernini’s elephant but she forgets things often sometimes. Pretty funny story, eh? We love telling that story to visitors who are  seeing the little elephant for the first time and we always get a giggle. Speaking of which, let’s get more...

So much ancient creativity in this warring world…I’m worn out from seeing so much beauty. Well, with these northern lights decorating the skies, we are hoping they will not affect other areas – communications and so on. I guess I am thinking about the wonders of our universe and planet and feel we must have respect for what it can do. The...

Taking a tour of my Rome digs to make sure all is going well. Well, when I was often visiting the Rome family with mama and papa, I used to look out our windows on a bright Sunday morn,  and there was always a story lurking there…. I’m along on their visit this time to check on those teen-ager-grand-anthros and make sure they are studying and...

  Well, let’s just say that I made an attempt to sit… I was having a moment’s visit to my favorite bedspread and…well…even kitties in this new state have to learn some things… Let’s just call it The Mess-Up Tup! OR, The Tilt Tup! (Lunapic’s Tilt Shift)...

Today just basking in little spirit lights that I can conjure up when I like…and contemplating my fill-ins…here goes: 1. Life is too short to tolerate __mean, crass,disgusting, misogenistic, racist boors like Trump. 2. My sweet blogger friends and mama and papa__gives me hope. ALWAYS and EVER, thank you. 3. I’ve been feeling __a little sad...

You may not know this, but where I am WE have Power Paws and I’m thankful for them.  Sort of like magic wands, and I have observed that they WORK. Am working on Gaza right now… Well, I just couldn’t think of a good title for my blog so dipped into turkey time and jazzed it up a bit. But I do wish to give thanks first to all of your blogs,...

Nope. I think it’s blue, haha. But don’t quote me on that. I’m not...

(I come in here because it’s my favorite place to think) Donc, and after thinking a bit, here’s the dilemma: the way I feel now (which is anyway I want to feel whenever I wish!), it’s a toss up between just floating around observing the weirdness of the world in general or taking a bit of time to speak up about the very real live lunatics...

Well, this young man caught our attention. This amazing young man in the EIGHTH GRADE will be forever in our thoughts. Inspired by him, today’s spark from me is “trust your instincts and courage”! Sometimes we wander around in our heads thinking ‘should I, would I, dare I, is this the right choice’ when our hearts and bodies...

Bonjour out there, everyone, on this sunny Sunday. I came inside to visit my couch and give my kitty whisperer a little soulful sample of when we used to be together when mama and papa went off to visit the Italian part of the family. I know my aunty Sue felt my presence because I could see her smiling when she thought I might come in from the jardin and...

Well, bonjour, chers amies, I’m hanging out here in the colorful float I chose for Saturday. Isn’t it amazing what one can do as one continues just BEING, in whatever form that might BE, haha. A lovely spring-filled-flower-filled weekend to everyone and hope that basil seeds take root and rain lets up and gardens get planted (and mulched) and...

Well, I was offline on Thursday and almost today, too, so I hope you’ve received Thursdays thank blog, even if it is Friday! My WordPress was simply NOT there for a day or two…I thought I could fix anything now! But I conjured up a really good guru, Jorge Pires, and he fixed it FAST! Jorge is a WP expert, thank heaven…mama recommends him...

Think, think, think…. Today I am thankful today for brains! And well, I’ve been thinkin’. Not always a wise move, haha! Mama and papa are stalled on their trip because of weather and it’s not all that nice here in my waterlogged garden but what the heck. I’ll just think it through… Maybe thinking really hard can stop the...

Here goes…I think I’ll switch to my bed… You say this looks EASY? Let’s see YOU get into this asanas, okay?  I dare you! Okay, okay, here’s an easy one…...

WOW, didn’t feel a thing! How cool is that?…

Well, while THEY are gallavanting on the way to visit those cutesy pootsy grandanthros instead of hanging out in MY garden, I’ll just slip in to my ex-hanging-out-place and grab a few winks, whatever they are. Today we are thinking that just waking up with a sweet thought for the day might be a good Monday spark. For example, mama woke up with...

Well, I suggested this “posed” selfie to mama, and voilá! Oh, mince, it is POURING out in my garden but of course I am waterproof, haha. And I must say the roses are lapping it up, so to speak, but still. It’s market day and no way is mama going out in this, NO WAY, Jose, whoever that is. Have a cozy, warm Sunday (well, those who are now...

    Hi, mama, I know you’re puzzled by my shadow but I’m right here saying hello on this rainy Saturday. BONJOUR! Well, today I’m floating around in our kitchen to see what simple recipes I can pick up to enhance your chilly week-end, but especially OURS, since it’s pouring cold rain and birds are getting slapped in the...
