Hey, I was young once, okay? Well, since I don’t have mama giving me too much help lately with my daily diary, I’m going to do a Selfie Medley of young to..er..sort of older, so that I can take stock of how to keep in shape now. After all, 90 is the new 60, mama read the other day. That suits THEM just fine, haha…not me, pas moi! NO way...

Well, I have a bone to pick with mama. Mama went through a gazillion Lunapics to  finally send me this one, and I’m not sure she should be left alone with that app… I checked it out from here and mama looked at 23 effects before she settled on this (rather boring) one when she could have done wild and crazy things with all of their new effects! Maybe I...

I am hanging out on my new clean linen sheets…It’s a cat’s life. And no one is BOTHERING ME! Well, mama has found a new little vegetable shop near where mama and papa stay and mama is in hog heaven, whatever that is. And I do understand seeing the little (big!) grandkids, as they are evidently lots of fun, just like me. Here is...

Mama just met him on this trip and took him some of MY food because I...

These fill-ins are challenging! 1. I wish my town ( city) had a _park for kitties to romp in together, maybe covered so they wouldn’t get lost, haha.

(Photo by ace kitty-sitter Sue MacDonald – spoiling me rotten) Hey, we jumped the fun and gun on May Day, but at least it’s a reminder for next Monday. I think mama was off her timetable when she helped me with that blog and the lily of the valley poster. Oh, well, I’m off to lounge in the garden and peek at pigeons. Life is good. (see...

  I’ll have to show my kitty sitter where I sleep. I think she has knees, too. My spark for the day is from Dr Seuss on travel: Oh, the things you can find if you don’t stay behind. Well, they are almost off, but we have always known that, haha. Let’s hope they come back a little more ON. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I am lolling on...

To peel or not to peel, that is the question.  1. I was pleased to hear that __I am the same weight 5.9 kg every day, which is healthy for my condition. My doc was very impessed yesterday when they STUCK me for blood, but my glucose was DOWN, whatever that is. 2. There should be a __WORLDWIDE ANIMAL Appreciation Day. 3. I have a lot of confidence in my...

And thanks for the magic of Angel Whisper’s music, which always seems to help the blues, as mama is a bit that color right now, thinking of being without me for a time.
