I’m putting my whine in the bin to smile at this warm gravel! Ummmm…. Haha, I know that whine is spelled differently in the UK but what the heck… I should have thought of something other than sparkling since whining at all is NOT so sparkly, haha. But our spark today is DON’T WHINE, YOU’LL BE FINE, HOLD THE COMPLAINT, HAVE SOME CONSTRAINT! Sometimes if you...

Maybe too close for comfort. Certainly for elegance, haha. I wanted to do one of mama but she kept moving around and frankly, I KNOW she would not like a selfie close-up right now, haha. Happy Sunday to all. Time to quit…….....

Keeping an eye on all the garden birdies while THEY were on the way home…somebody has to do it. Those birdies think this is their exclusive restaurant!  “Table for two, Loulou.” ********************************************************** Well, I think mama had better fill these first ones in: 1. My preferred method of procrastination is...

SO Glad They Are Back

I always have this shadowy companion for company.. Boy, is it nice to have THEM where they belong! But that other place is so close to their hearts and so much a part of their lives and the home of papa’s son and family that they love being there. Can’t say the same for GETTING there. It’s a 2-night, 3-day drive and tunnels abound but on...

Well, it’s TOO much that THEY are back…running about like crazed weasels trying to unpack and find things they put somewhere and forgot where and planting tomatoes that mama brought back IN THE CAR in a little pot and getting groceries and making...

Oh, boy, are THEY going to be surprised at the roses I arranged in a vase for THEM, two Sweet Loves and I am sure you can figure out why I picked those…...

I’m going to have to look into this when THEY return…THEY will have some explaining to do!  Maybe put some tuna crumbs in the bed…. Well, THEY went out for a little walk in Rome and just happened, hah, on a place where myriad kitties hang out and have done so for years, some leaving, others coming because the shopkeeper LOVES kitties.. I am sure THEY knew...

Saturday Float

Well, I’m not protesting THEIR return, I’m really happy about it, but I thought I’d get in a little colorful Lunapic “floating” while I’m queen of the house. I guess you’d call me a homecoming queen, haha. THEY won’t be here until Monday but it gives me time to clean up my our garden and get some roses...

I think this is what is called ‘having good jeans’…. 1. Being adorable and allowing big snuggles during my life__ is was a quality of mine that I am (still!) proud of.

MY bed is so comfy! I’d better sleep fast before THEY return… Well, I like the sound of that phrase in Latin and since mama and papa are wandering around Caesar-land, I thought it would be fun to say “thank you” in Caesar-chat, haha. Who knew? But I am thankful that THEY are headed back soon, even if I have to give up MY big bed and...

Well, here’s a doozy!

Wish we kitties could all wander around universities and get smarter. But wait, do we kitties get any smarter than the smarts we...

You’re not sayin’ that I have feet of crow, are you? Hey, they give anyone character! Well, mama read this wonderful article by Charles Blow and our spark today is from the last paragraph, in case you can’t open the whole piece. This was the message: I have no intention of raging against my aging. I intend to embrace it, to embrace the...

Our world needs smiles, more than ever. So today we are thankful for humor. May we all keep ours running...
