OH, WOW, Friday again? It was JUST FRIDAY! How do these days go so FAST? And another full moon, too. Jeez, Louise… 1. It’s about time __we got out our radish seeds, planted, then make believe we’ll have a garden one day in the future because radishes ALWAYS grow, anytime! 2. An anecdote I like to tell is __how it took me THREE days of...

Here’s a high five for Thankful Thursday. Well, listen up, folks,  Jeudi is Thursday around here and we are thankful for YOU, and YOU, and YOU. We are also thankful that papa’s ex, our dear, dear Gabriella, is not too sick with omicron, which she has had for five days now in Rome and the worst effect is that nothing tastes good to her! Which is...

Well, that’s about all I can say today.  That, and chow down! IT IS WET AND WUSSY AND WINDY AND WEARISOME! No tiptoeing through the tulips today. But that little basil plant still has hope for a ray later… (Mama lost Tuesday, in case you think you missed something. You didn’t! I’ll have to take her in hand today.) And THIS will cheer you, from mama’s...

Well today,I, being a lazy lieabout (whatever that is), mama is putting some of her illustrations in my blog, even if I do NOT eat artichokies. Still, it might make your mouth water, haha. Dip those arti-leaves in melted butter with lemon and don’t forgetthe heart! You gotta have ❤️! Uh, oh, even I am salivating on my iPad! The butter did it, mama,...

Hey, I don’t think I’m quite ready to tell all today… Just for fun: 1. A week without ______well, I really cannot say what exactly I could do without that______ would be nice. 2. A week without ___oops, can’t say THAT for sure as telling it to the world______________ would be impossible. 3. I didn’t plan to ___do the silent treatment...

  It’s THURSDAY already? Well, we are thankful that those who are ill are getting much better and hope everyone will stay masked and safe, even if mandates are lifted (too soon!). We are glad that there seems to be some sort of diplomatic discussion about Russia’s encroachment on Ukraine’s borders. BUT meanwhile, just to lift your...

No, it is not I in the photo below, but I’ll bet lots of kitties have meowed at the moon, with wistful whiskers. I certainly checked it out a few nights ago. Magical!   Thank you, Mya’s maman, for this lovely kitty lunging for Mr Moon, or should I say,...

  I know you love me, mama, even if I can’t skate… Oh, this is priceless. Terrible pun, mama, that title, but yes, the rink suits this little pro to a T! I think there may be a new young star headed for the Olympics. Mama is such a pushover for videos like this little darling that I (a little jealous) probably should make one of myself so that she can...

Mama tried to snap me for a Selfie and I would have NONE of it! That’s because I was reading a wonderful solution to the stress of this virus, thanks to a 5-year-old. That’s it for today, and we hope it cheers you as much as it did mama, papa and me! Sunday is, as are all days for us kitties, a day of…guess what? REST. And inner thigh...

    Well, mama actually did 9 portraits of this same kitty in different styles, one for each of her lives, but we’re only posting three here so we won’t bore anyone. Caturday art is such fun. But mama had better get drawing so she won’t run out of pics! I’m getting ready to model, too, mama, but could you give me minute to...

Olympic Catcher-of-nip-ball warming up. 1. I feel _like an Olympic anthro athlete____when I ___actually catch something mama has thrown to me! 2.(Mama speaking) I wish I could erase _all useless thoughts I’ve had__ from my memory to free up some (positive) space. 3. (Mama speaking) Others probably find it annoying that I __still want them to wear...

Oh, boy, are we thankful on Thursday for this guy! These two guys, I should say! When mama saw this article and of course she went bonkers at how HUGE this magnificent tortoise is and how lovingly he is cared for at the Governor’s home. Mama has a thing for turtles ever since she visited the turtle refuge near our little town in France. We would have...

  Uh, oh, if Mr Groundhog sees his shadow, we’re done for… You won’t catch ME going outside. What I don’t know won’t hurt me and I’m not about to run into THIS guy! UH, OH, we forgot that today is Candelmas, CREPE DAY IN FRANCE. Have to run go make crepes for dinner with mama and papa. Even I can eat...

  I took a snooze while THEY went to breathe the salt air… Below, the sand writing in the sane: “This is a beach, not an ashtray” with a sculpture of an shtray. Well, every now and then we go down to the beach for fresh air (well, THEY go, I wander around my garden and help fertilize), and about once a year there appears a cigar box...

Well, mama remembers sparklers as long sticks that shot out silvery sparks on whatever holiday was being celebrated and she loved them! But Monday sparklers are even more important in these uncertain days. One of our favorites is “what other people think about you is none of your business”, haha. I think we’ve mentioned that one before...

Well, I’m not (but I guess I might be) blowing my own horn but the only selfie I have today is of me, watching me on Bakin’ with Bacon. Mama says I am a narcissist but hey, I was just watching this when she sneaked up and took my pic!  Forgive my self-indulgent Sunday…and besides, mama did a really bad job of photographing my innocent...

TALK ABOUT FUN! Well, I’m a bit overwhelmed at being a sous chef that I can hardly hold my whisk! THANKS, merci to sweet Teddy and mama, Pam, for the invitation to cook up a storm and make one of our favorite pastas – spaghetti alla carbonara.  Bacon and eggs, to narrow it down, and it really is easy peasy. I have to say (mama’s in the other room…)...
