Feline Friday and Pink Saturday with Friendly Fill In's

 

Feline Friday

Mister Kitty is happiest when he can sit by me and sometimes talk to me. 

"One reason that cats are happier then people is that they have no newspapers. Gwendolyn Brooks

Cats, as you know, are quite impervious to threats. Connie Willis

Ellen and Lorianne co host the blog hop Friendly Finn In's  Each week they think of four questions to share with us.

1. Before winter arrives, I need to stock up on __________________.

2, Only _________________until ______________.

3. I was relieved to find out ____________________

4.__________________was a shocker.

My answers are here:

1. Before winter arrives, I need to stock up on ingredients to make soup.

2. Only  72 days until CHRISTmas.

3.  I was relieved to find out the snow did not arrive in our area yesterday.

4.   The price of a new GMC truck was a shocker. I cannot believe they cost over $100,000. That is utterly absurd.

Pink Saturday

This reminds me of a place on our mini vacation that I want to visit  where everything is perfectly put together in pink! Thanks Pinterest for always having pink goodness to share with me. 

So now you know my secret, like a kid, I was messing around at Snapchat and took this silly photos.

My poor husband has these filling up his gmail account to see when he has a lunch break or when he gets home tonight. But have no fear, I have loaded and unloaded and reloaded the dish washer as the day goes by. I have stripped the bedding and changed it. I have rounded up a herd of dogs running by the fence where Duke waits for them on one side. Mean dogs on another. Barking fools on the other side and peace and quiet from my neighbor Mark's yard. I was up at 3 A.M. to see our youngest head out the door to a weekend trip to Pittsburgh with a mini layover in Chicago. I watched his uber drive away from the house. Nick turns 30 this weekend and he is still our baby. Hannah is our baby girl. Rebekah is Avery's twin , Jeremy is the first born son and Noelle the first born daughter. What can I say, I love them all? 

Happy weekending to all of you! Any plans? We will make our weekly trek to the Farmer's Market for fresh veggies and a Limeade. We will have a sleepover with two grandsons Saturday night. They are finished with their basketball league so we are sad until they join a new one.

I am not a fan of Jerry but I sure love Tom. He seems to be outsmarted by this annoying little mouse but there are times when they come together and defend each other. It is my favorite cartoon and Avery and I have at least 4 Tom and Jerry t shirts. Please visit Feline Friday

Do you have a hat for the Kentucky Derby? I use to buy one every year and a few years ago the Derby joined the Woke culture so I don't buy a hat anymore. But I will always love the horses and I love to hear their stories. I hope you visit the Pinkies and share your favorites too.

This isn't an ad but just an image of Great Jones square baking dish in pink! I love those large handles on either side. We bake a lot in the cooler months so I am watching this item to see if it will eventually be on sale. So cute.

Wonderlier Pastel Tupperware bowls. Perfectly fitting for a Pink Saturdy share.

These cuties were in an ad for a pet supply place called Wired and this is their photo. These are the faces that capture and steal your heart.

What greater gift than the love of a cat. Charles Dickens This quote was taken from the Reader's Digest.

Ellen and Lorianne think up these great ideas and share them here with us. Come join the fun.

1. I love that____________________.

2.To celebrate pi day on Monday, I will have a slice of ____________________pie.

3. I'd like to be able to ____________________everyday.

4. If I ended up in jail, it would probably be because____________________.

My answers:

1. I love that my grandchildren love us and want to spend time with us.

2. To celebrate pi day on Monday, I will have a slice of  Key Lime pie.

3. I'd like to be able to listen to a person who went through war tell their story. We have become so callous, people push the old folks aside. I loved my late father-in-law telling me his antics in the US Navy when he was a young man.

4. If I ended up in jail, it would probably be because of my annoying neighbors. We call them the Witness Protection People". Three dogs who spend so much time out in the cold. I see him leave in the early morning hours. No, I am not nosey, I am like a small child watching my husband drive away. She must work from home because she never leaves. Their dogs should be inside and please don't tell me if you work on your phone you need peace & quiet. We sure do not have it here with their barking dogs all day long. 

Pink Saturday

Such a cool pink scale. I saw it at Pinterest and someone uploaded it. She is Lyn Ella. I wonder if this is here scale? Love it!

I use to act like this on Friday's! I am so grateful I dont have to go into a work place. It is so weird today. Narcs all over the place, people afraid of dying, they don't want to live. Meanness and bullying everywhere. I love the comfort of my home. I'm like Tom, that Jerry, he is a mean one! HAppy Weekend everyone!

Feline Friday

I don;t have any other photos of this Rascal cat but when Avery and I were first married, she was abandoned and of course, we rescued here. My sweet husband called a vet and they said to rub her belly and stimulate her so she would drink the bottle we had to give her. Fortunately, my sister,  Mary, the original cat lady took her in. This cat was a beauty but she was terribly ornery . She was a biter, no matter how kind you were to here. We lived in fear. Avery worked at Pella Windows back than and he shot a nail from his nail gun through his hand. He was in terrible pain and discomfort. This innocent looking girl made him miserable biting at him and terrorizing him. But she changed when she went to live with my sister. She had other feline fur babies to hang out with, play with, and roughhouse with.
