SHUT THOSE SHUTTERS, MAMA. Too much grey today! Boy, do we have the winter washout here in our little village. Talk about shades of grey! But mama has ranunculas (whatever they are) in a vase and they have opened up like little sunshines to brighten our morning. That and the tomatoes STILL hanging on the vine in 5-degree weather! We hope that everyone out...

Maybe throw in a hot chocolate? A good movie? Anyone out there have suggestions for good series? Would love to hear them. Back to slumber…and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR GRANDDAUGHTER TODAY!...

Personally, I think Christmas is a stretch…. . This time of year, _everything is so commercial that it__puts me in a Grinch like mood. Whatever commercial is. I’m just quoting mama… 2. My favorite kind of Christmas cookie is __mama’s ginger snaps but I only get a little lick of butter, no cookie, sigh. Maybe the butter is the snap,...

OOPS! THURSDAY BLOG. MAMA FORGOT TO POST IT. SO TWO TODAY! WOW, Morocco (and France), thank you for a spectacular match! We are sorry Morocco did not win because of the magnificent show of skill and power that the team exhibited. And mama hasn’t looked yet but she thought they dominated the game, with a possession of way over what is average in...

My nightly TV watching pose. Uh…the news was on, not that red string, haha, or Kitten on the Keys on YouTube. A very important day, December 15! Read on and see why. Ironic that so many of them are being questioned by the GOP. After all, we SHARE those rights, right? Oh, if we could only be bipartisan but sharing appears to be an outmoded word… I get along...

Well, we are awaiting the France and Morocco game. Morocco was once a protectorate of France and so they have a sensitive bond between them. Should be fascinating to watch! We’re too nervous to blog today, but I’ll try to keep THEM steady until tomorrow’s match…jeez, Louise, the weird chores I have around this place…...

Merry Holidays, dear readers. Any reindeer in the neighborhood yet? Here are a few holiday sparks to lift spirits. I guess the spark on this non-spark day is to see beauty in strange places. Rome-lit up for shoppers a few years ago for Gay Pride Well, today we are sharing a few pics of Rome during holidays. This is a doll fix-it shop and has been there...

…for Ann Adamus, who so cleverly created our two cards this year from one lil’ old photo of yours truly. Boy, is that lady a whiz. We think and think about holiday cards and mama just sent her my pic and in what seemed like minutes, Ann sent these back and alleviated a lot of stress, believe me! Merci to Ann! Which one do you like best? We...

Well, today we just went hog wild, whatever that means, but I think I can figure that one out. Just don’t want any around here as they are roaming in our woods right about now… Have a sizzling Saturday! Lunapics could add to...

Okay that was a stretch but there are only so many things one can think up with “fill” or “in”. Mama has taken over the first two and I’ll pick up the rest. I had to put my feet up to think about this. Mama: 1. I have a tough time choosing a gift for __my stepson, who is the most satisfied and sweet stepson in the world....

Mama, why can’t I have my water bowl on my duvet? Jeez, the rules around here… That title is only because I am spending a lot of time at the water cooler. Wish I had some fellow workers to hang with, haha. BUT…when one is jabbed twice a day, one tends to drink more to get rid of the baddies, so I suppose you could say I am on a cleansing routine. At...

Hey, maybe I’ll find something in here! Well, here is our positive story for today. A wonderful story of kindness and helpfulness and savvy at the refuse center! And this story has a nice ring to it, haha. Mama was on pins and needles as she read this one, but so often, human beings are kind and empathetic and jump right in to help someone in trouble. And...

Is this perfect or what? Well, today I found the PERFECT sun puddle but a shadow LOOMED over my rest and relaxation hour. Jeez, Louise, you’d think a professional photographer would know better! Love that sunshine…minding my own puddle… Wait a minute…who’s that coming in here? Jeez, mama can’t you see you are blocking out my SUN PUDDLE. What are you...

We are bringing you a story today that might cause a few tears, as it did for mama, but GOOD ONES in the end. Mama was deeply touched by this loving doggy/artist and his beautiful smiles and wiggles and TALENT, and by his rescuer who had the brilliant idea of giving him a vocation that would charm so many. I am using this story for my Monday spark, but it...

Well, I’m just doing some Sunday Snoozing, with 7-degree C weather out there in the garden, so there is NO WAY, Jose, that I am doing a winter walkabout. NO WAY. Mama is off to the market to see if there is a little tree for our holiday. But I like our tiny tree of lights, too. And you don’t have to water it. It was a gift from our friend,...

These fill-ins are challenging. I’m puttin’ my paws up on mama’s leg to take a break… 1. I don’t like __MEDS in my __perfectly good chicken liver pate! THEY try to fool me but no way, Jose. Put them in the yogurt, mama, you know it works! Leave that liver ALONE! 2. My to-do list for December includes: __napping, _snoozing_ and...

Hey, I don’t speak German, but danke was the only alliterative word I could think up for ‘duvet’, haha. I LOVE my feather-filled snuggle comforters, and am thankful for them, and thankful for all the shelters that are taking care of winter’s kitties (and doggies, of course) with no homes, and thankful for Brian’s hop, and...

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! What if I have something to say? As in, Tomorrow is DECEMBER!” Wow, 31 days to 2023. Who knew? Think I’ll meow mama to put up our little tree of lights. We’re still not in the spirit quite...

Well, I used to be able to drape my little body across mama’s lap and I am hoping so much that this B12 vitamin gets my little back legs in better shape so that I can drape! I think I make a nice lap topping, non? Maybe I should call it nap topping, haha. Mama’s busy making ginger snaps to get in the holiday mood, so I have to cut my...

Around here at couch time, there is NOTHING like a head rub. A sweet spark for today. We loved this story because of the part that talks about receiving kindness and accepting kindness. Mama tears up over kindness, but I think there is a little part of her that has a bit of trouble with it in that perhaps she feels she is getting sonething she didn’t...
