Happy Halloween!!!

Hello Everybody,

I helped Pellie and Sir Knight pass out the treats to all the little ghost, goblins, ghouls and fairy princesses and I had such a good time.

Then this evening I made a midnight run to the cemetery to gather some graveyard dirt, to use in some of my potions. And look at me dressed in my wizy robes; I wasn't even scared. Whoooooooo took this picture????? muhaha!!!!

Trick or Threat! smell my paws.

I'm the cutest wizard you ever saw.

Hey! Hi there,

you are getting sleepy - you will forget how long it been since I last visited

Hey Everybody it's me Genghis Khat,

I know it's been a long time since I wrote here on this blog thingy; but Pellie has not been feeling well and when she is on the computer it's for such a short time I don't have time to get my thoughts together much less do my post.

So anyway she is busy working on some sort of bread book - she said she is inspired by this class she is taking. I know she does not need much to inspire her to play with her paper scraps and make glittery things. Just as long as she's happy and left the computer on for me - we both can be happy.

I have missed visiting with all my kitty friends but I will try to get it done.

According to Purina Petcentric today is National Cat Day - "a holiday to celebrate cats for their unconditional love and companionship. Yep, Pellie has really been giving me lots of pets and hugs today and even a couple of my favorite treats - Chicken Pitter Patters. Yum.

I was kind of surprised about this cuz I have been waking wake her up really early in the mornings lately and Sir Knight tells me I shouldn't do this when she doesn't feel good. But I can't seem to help myself. I wake up and am ready to play and I really want her around so I go jump on and off the bed and her chest till she opens her eyes. I know she waits up late for Sir Knight to come home from work while I sleep but like I said I just cant help myself.

I picture myself as this this perfect little kitty - but I know I'm not - yet Pellie loves me any way. Yea!!!

So are all you guy and gals ready for Howls and Screams? We are and I can hardly wait. I love to see all the kids come up to the door in their costumes. It is so exciting. I'm glad I'm not a black cat though- Petcentric says this is a dangerous time of year for black cats -cuz peoples are scared of them at Halloween and try to hurt them. I guess that was why my brofur Dale never cared for all the fun and he would just go to sleep in the basement till it was all over.

Oh boy I was so excited the other day - I was outside playing and a mouse entered into my domicile. So I stalked it and very stealthly attacked it, killed it and took it to show Pellie in the house. She wasn't too happy about my big game I hunted up and Sir Knight made me drop it from my mouth, then he took it and disposed of it in the outside trash bin.
"Better to have hunted and have it taken away than to never have hunted at all" I guess?

Well its time for my nap, but first I better go sit among Pellie's paper things for a little bit so she knows I'm here.

A cat purrs when it's happy, meows when it wants attention, and is silent when planning its next move.

Happy Howls and Screams to all my wonderful friends.

It was a shop till you drop weekend.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful weekend. Without even planing it ours turned out to be a weekend of shopping.

I signed up for a bread making class at our local college extension and didn't want to take all my antique baking supplies, we use at home, so the first place we headed was to the dollar store.
And picked up the cute little ensemble you see above. Oh I know it's not designed to last a lifetime but if it just makes it thorough the three classes I'll be happy. In one of the classes we are suppose to make a bread cornucopia - I'm kind of all thumbs in the kitchen so I hope it turns out well. Wish me luck.

The biggest surprise of our shopping day was when we headed over to Best Buy. Well that wasn't the surprise and I thought nothing of it because Sir Knight always loves to browse around there. We perused most all the merchandise and the computers just looking - not buying - then out of the blue Sir Knight picked this little baby up and bought it for me as a Halloween present. How wonderful is that? (Insert me doing happy dance here.) I finally got an external hard drive to back up my wealth of pictures stored on this computer and on my old computer - which we setup in the basement for when the grandchildren come over and want to play their online games. Because I don't let anyone but Sir Knight and myself use the new computer - I mean it's not even a year old yet.

As you can imagine; the first thing I did when we were home was to make copies of all the pictures on the old computer and transfered them to my new computer. As soon as I am finished going through them weeding out duplicates and such, I will again copy them all over to the hard drive for safe keeping. Then I can remove them all together form the old computer; which should make the grandchildren happy too because once all the pictures and documents are off the old computer - there will be more memory available for their game playing. So this little black book is making many people sooooo happy.

Sir Knight doesn't think I'll fill this puppy up - Ha! I bet I will.



Well I better get back to work .

Hugs,
Penny

Make a Difference Day

Hello everyone,
Well tomorrow is National Make a Difference Day. So I thought I'd post just a little bit about making a difference.

When I was healthy and actively working at my chosen profession - I always felt like I made a difference. Oh not in great shakes but in those little things, turning and fluffing the pillow of a bed fast patient, giving a soothing back rub or in finding the right little treat to entice a patient to eat.

But now I am retired and there are days that I really wonder what have I done lately that makes a difference to someone - anyone - besides my self?

Food for thought; I guess and something I feel I really need to think about today & tomorrow, and hopefully get ignited with a passion that will kick me in the rear and into action.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs,
Penny
