Leave me alone - Cuz I aint smiling right now.

Let me tell you about the day I had yesterday. - It was horrendous. Yesterday was Bath day. I should have run and hid when I saw Pellie and Sir Knight put brofur Dale into the tub. I was pretty sure they wouldn’t do that to me because I’m better at taking care of my self. But that was not the case when Dale was clean and wiped slightly dry - they can for me - boy did I have to fight for all I was worth. Pellie kept saying something about I needed this bath if I wanted to continue to go outside and play because it helped prevent fleas - but I really didn’t care. I just wanted out.
And if that wasn’t bad enough and to add insult to injury - Sir Knight kept trying to take pictures of me. Usually I love to have my picture taken - but I will admit I am a vain fellow and only allow pictures when I’m looking my best. So I moved around a lot to mess up any and all pictures. Actually they made me look kind of ethereal and in one I even look like a demon cat of some sort. That serves them right for getting me all wet.

Purrs,

It's a little bit silly and a little bit mad- But it is so Me.

Reflections on Memorial Day

A Mother to Her Son in Service
By Grace Noll Crowell

Wherever you are this day, my precious son,
God hold you close, God keep you safe from harm.
In this strange victory that must be won
It takes your youth, your strength of heart and mind.
Your valor and your courage and your might
To bring to pass the miracle of peace.

God keep you facing forward toward the light
That waits ahead for you when war shall cease.

Take God as your companion, O dear Heart.,
We must not, dare not face the days alone.
With him for comrade we can do our part
And staunchly, bravely face the great unknown.
I, too, must be a valiant soldier, for
That is what mothers are when there is war.

Good Morning Everyone!
Just stopping by to wish each and every one of you a wonderful day and a safe weekend of remembrance and reflection on the Freedoms we hold dear, and the sacrifices it takes to preserve that Freedom. I hope you enjoy this little poem I found while browsing through an older, patriotic addition of Ideals Magazine; I thought it was very appropriate even in these our own war filled times.
God Bless.

Meow. My day in the sun. Meow

Hello everyone,
Genghis Khat here again. I have had such a wonderful day. I got to go outside and play when the family went out to work in the yard. Last year I was too young and reckless so they wouldn’t let me out - I could only watch from the doorway and let me tell you that was frustrating and rather humiliating. But all that’s behind me now and I had such a good time - I spent all morning chasing bugs and leaves and trash paper they threw out of the flower beds. My big brofur was out too - so he showed me all the good places for hiding and even some great hunting places
Pellie cleaned and shined everything on the porch and brought out a bunch of funny looking stuff she said was summer decorations. I don’t know - a small piece of hose with a bow and flowers on it doesn’t seem like much of a decoration to me. Then she brought out some small little houses too small for us cats and they have round openings where the door is suppose to be - What self respecting fairy wants to live in a house with a hole for a door- so they cant be fairy houses even if they are pretty.
When the porch was finished Pellie set about planting flowers she called dallia’s or something like that. I thought what she put in the dirt looked like a bunch of dead turnips or worse but she assured me that they would grow into pretty flowers.
Sir Knight was busy riding around the lawn on that noisy thing that chops the grass in half. I don’t really like that thing its big and its loud. Then he grabbed some other noisy tool and walked around the whole house chopping all the tall grass that he couldn’t reach with the riding thing. I guess the yard looks better but he didn’t leave any of the tall juicy stalks for Dale and me to feast on and aid our digestion.
Whoa! All that fresh air made me sleepy - I think I will join Dale on the little couch and take a nap.

Purrs,
Genghis Khat,


And in closing remember "A cat is a lion in a jungle of small bushes" ...English proverb

This blogger stops for garage sales.!!!

Hello everyone.,
Yesterdays high winds and heavy rain was not very conducive for going out to Garage Sales.
Today was dry but was chilly - oh who am I trying to kid - it was darn right cold. - Brave adventurers that we are, headed out to the sales anyway.
Here's everything we purchased over the weekend. Some cookbooks for Sir Knight, a Merino glass clown for our clown gallery (only $1.00 WOW) a teapot with fruit on it with 2 matching cups (a bargain at $1.50/set), a pretty little plate with berries on it., a silver footed crystal bowl ( my new clip holder for the craft room), a storage box shaped like a set of books( going in the library of course), and an old calender with some great shots of different sights in France.
Yep one man's trash sure is another man's treasure; for both Sir Knight and myself are thrilled with are new additions.

Hugs,
Penny
