Feline Friday

Feline Friday 

This gray cat is a pinterest find. My sister had a solid gray cat, his name was Dylan but his eyes were emerald green. He was a feral cat. My sister use to laugh everyday, because he never got of out the habit of rumaging through the trash can. He passed away from Feline Leukimia but his years with my sis were glroious times for him. How they loved each other. He loved being an indoor cat once he learned to chill with the other cats in her household.

A cat is an example of sophistication minus civilization. ~Author unknown


It doesn't matter if you are six feet four and broad of shoulder, if a kitten is looking for a mother-figure you're it. ~Pam Brown, Utterly Gorgeous Cats, 2006, helenexley.com


I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat. ~Author unknown


You will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats. ~Proverb

This one would be my sister Mary. 

My Friendly Fill In's:

1. Being with my grands is more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

2. One should take time to pray everyday. 

3. I hesitate to speak out on social issues too much because there is always someone who thinks differently. I try to be lighthearted here.

4. Is it time for Fall weather yet? Crunchy leaves, soft sweaters, cool morning breezes and Fall foliage.

I love this pretty pink cottage . I found the image at Pinterest.  I wanted to share it with Pink Saturday When I created this blog I missed a step at blogger so I can not share this with Beverly at Pink Saturday as linky does not recognize this blog. sigh....But I will post it here and enjoy seeing this pleasant little house in pink. 

Feline Friday

 Feline Friday I think we have all had these "Garfield hits a brick wall" kinda day! But it will get better, it always does. A little rest and everything will feel better in the morning.

A Throw Back Photo for out son-in-law Zach's 30th birthday. Happy Birthday to the grill master at our house. We wish him many more and know he has enjoyed a few relaxing days, just hanging out with his wife and enjoying some time away from work. They had a delicious meal at Texas de Brazil. 

Back in 2014 when when the Seahawks beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl our crazy son Jeremy took his buddy Zach with him. Zach was a big hockey guy so Jeremy converted him to football. They had a great time as you can see. Lots of memories for this crazy kids who today are brother-in-laws.

These two will be married 4 years come December 2nd 2021. Rebekah put their wedding together in 56 days by herself from start to finish.  I can still here Avery say, God had His Hand on us that day. It was picture perfect.

Here's wishing Zach a wonderful birthday weekend. Also a happy birthday wish to his twin sister Alexa. Although she lives in Michigan, she is celebrating too. She has a double celebration because she is expecting their second child in a few months. She is the youngest of the twins Zach and Alexa    and she has a precious daughter Charlotte and a sweetheart of a hubby Jake. Happy Birthday Alexa

Friendly Fill In's and Pink Saturday

 

I f you visit these two ladies, you will want to join this fun. Ellen and Lorianne share the weekly fun by each thinking up two of these selections:

My Answer are here:

1. I am contemplating trying to downsize my closet and sell some of my clothes. I have too much.

2. My prayer is that people would be kinder to each other and stop being mean about all that is going on in the world. It  affects each and every person and no one knows what is on someone elses heart and mind.

3. I can do our laundry in record time. I have it down to a science and it is a place that gives me great peace and joy.

4. I miss the days when life was simple and kindness not hateful ruled. I miss my childhood. It was a perfect world to me because of the way I was raised.

I met Holly through LuLaRoe. She was diagnosised with leukemia and yet her shining personality never stopped shing through. She had to take a break because she was hospitalized but she kind heart keep shining. She lost all of her hair but has some colorful wigs and I love this one. Her pink hair makes her smile even brighter. I also love her BoHo style dress.  Continue to pray for her. CUrrently she is home with a second round of chemo that she is able to be home with. Life is hard, I just keep praying harder. 

I can not count the years that Beverly has hosted Pink Saturday. I have been with her since 2010. She is gracious hostess and even while she and her husband were moving she kept up the blog hop. I thought Holly's pink hair was a perfect match for this today.

            RANDOM MEMORIES

I have many beautiful memories from  Pink Saturday. I made several wonderful friends. Cece passed away in Septpember 2010. She taught me to be polite and comment to every sinfle participate. Back than hundreds of people participated. But I did it many times in honor of my sweet friend gone too soon.

I wish more people came over and shared their favorite pinks. 

Feline Friday and More

 

Feline Friday

My boy Boots was so handsome, he was the kindest feline who ever lived. He was smart and always knew when I needed cuddles with him. I stillhave this magnetic frame on my fridge.  He is always and forever in my heart.

Humor for Feline Friday too. Whenever I feel sad, I have to find some humor. Those silly rabbits are all over my neighborhood. They multiple so quickly. I was watering my plants outside the other day and I noticed a rabbit sitting under the spray of my garden hose. He looked so happy getting a morning shower.This cat is clever, that is no doubt. The rabbits don't seem to mind that he's there.

1. I am contemplating_______________________.

2. My ________________are__________________.

3. I can ________________in record time.

4. I miss the days when __________________.

Please visit Ellen and Lorianne who share hosting Friendly fill In's. They each think up these great thoughtful selections. Come join the fun. Tomorrow we will reveal our answers.

Happy Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Thankful Thursday

 Happy Tuesday

We are in the middle of a heat wave and I am dreaming about cooler weather. My husband is a human hot water bottle. Sigh....nice in the wintet months. But  he is a good backstratcher and also gives a good back rub so I am content. He sures makes me "Happy"

I wanted to share Maxine's thoguhts on some Olympic events but I guess I can not stop thinking about cooler weather. 

I've been thinking about cutting some calories. I found this and it cracked me up.  Poor Bob, I guess he never tried dieting before.

Wordless Wednesday I need to search Rebekah's photos from her 2016 trip to Ireland.  This peaceful google image is from the Emerald Isle. 

I know he does not wish to have a shower. But do you think he'd move? He was hot I guess and stretched out on the cool bathroom floor and decided he needed to move to the rug. I guess he was overheated talking with his girlfriend in the living room window. She is a chatty one.  I I wish people would leave their cats indoors. The world is a dangerous place. I  hope you are thankful for something today and visit Thankful Thursday I am thankful for all of you and all the goodness I find in the world. Oh yes, and Tiger a/k/a Mister Kitty, I am thankful for him too . Tomorrow I am hoping to have my Friendly Fill In's ready too.

Anniversary Wishes and More

Wishing Brittany and Jeremy a very happy fifth anniversary April 30, 2021.  It seems like yesterday they were married in a beautiful ceremony.

Their wedding was a lovely affair. It seems like we were just attending it. How time flies.

Bronco Fans Forever!

Here are the results of a wonderful marriage. Addy was that excellent bonus Jeremy received when he married Brittany. Then the boys came along. Addy is such a terrific big sister. Brody and Blake are good brothers too.

Let's be a comfortable couple and take care of each other... how glad we shall be that we have somebody we are fond of always to talk to and sit with! ~Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby, 1839

Please visit Pink Saturday.

Here are my answers to the Friendly Fill In's:

1. I wouldn't mind if I could  live away from all the huistle and bustle and enjoy peace and quiet.

2. I want to  treat my cat to a happy birthday today.

3.  Others come to me when  they need something done. 

4. Boots is a memory that I regularly think about. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MISTER KITTY

So this silly kitty turned 8 years old today, the 5th wedding anniversary of Jeremy & Brittany. He was born a few miles from where they were married. So I am sharing my favorite photos of him.

He was a terrible crybaby when he first came to me. He hated his carrier and when we would go to the vet he would stick his paw out of the carrier and cry as if he was going to have his last supper. What a drama king I have! He is still so dramatic. One minute past his breakfast or supper and he is howling at me.

Always comfy no matter where he falls asleep. We just listened to his theme song, I've Got A Tiger By the Tail by Buck Owens.  I think they wrote that song for a feline.

Shy is not a word in his lifetime. But he can ham it up pretty good. 

My favorite photo of him with his pal Roxanne. He knew how sick she was and he never left her side. He was a true and loyal friend to the end of her short little life with us. 

We original thought he was a girl hahaha until the vet flipped him over, oops.....so TigerLily became Tiger, than Mickeyand Mister Tomkins and Mr. Cat (Jeremy still calls him that!) and Mister Kitty. As long as you have a minor interest in him getting his meals timely, he will become your friend forever. This photo reveals the kind side of him. He is a beautiful creature. 

I can't believe I'm 8! I need to watch my weight. But I love my meals and my treats. I sure wish I'd get more of those. So my final entry here is a birthday wish to this very ornery kitty with beautiful green eyes and a love for me that shines more as he grows older and a bit wiser. 

 

Feline Friday Friendly Fill In's and Pink Saturday

 

This is one of my favorite quotes about cats. Plus I see another feline who looks like my Mister Kitty. Stop by Feline Friday. Share some feline fun and enjoy a wonderful weekend too.

I am trying to be more creative and come up with two sets of Friendly Fill In's.  Ellen and Lorianne share thinking up things to use at the Fill In's.  Each of one them think up these ideas to share with the rest of us.

1. ____________is such an inconvenience.

2. My favorite part of the Easter (or Passover ) meal is ____________.

3. I would like to find an Easter egg filled with _____________.

4. For me, ___________is a deal breaker.

My answers are here:

1. Paying so many taxes is such an inconvenience.

2. My favorite part of the Easter (or Passover) meal is enjoying it with loved ones.

3. I would like to find an Easter egg filled with  Lindt chocolate.

My answers:

1. My favorite Christmas (or Hanukkah) foods peppermint cookies and latkes. I miss the days when I worked at UCHSC and the UH system.

People came for all over the world. It was exciting.

2.This holiday season I will miss Hannah & Jake being with us for Christmas.

3. I would like Santa to bring some normalcy back to this country. But he would have to consult with God. :-)
