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 a Sunday, at least ther are no trucks!
Mama is thankful for getting home safely and for the lovely time in Rome despite tourists wall to wall, and both are thankful for the sweet visits with the family and grandkids and a couple they see only when in Italy.
Maybe they’ll come visit us one day but in this yukky weather, it’s not such a great place to hang out! This June in southern France feels like the foggy June of Los Angeles long ago../
BUT, so thankful for kind messages and welcome-homes from our blogging friends and so thankful that the kitties with no house seem to have found places to sleep and thankful that neighbors feed them all the time. Summer is easy, but winter will not be fun for them.
Mama hopes to go down to our Mairie and kick a….uh…speak with someone about the kitty house being removed! We shall see….
More to come on this saga.
😻😻😻
A summer tip for a light repas…
Wrap small pieces of smoked salmon around sweet, ripe melon balls. Secure with a toothpick and serve. A little fresh pepper is a nice touch, too.
I know your Mama and Papa love visiting family in Rome but I also know they love their beautiful home there…..and “echoes” of you in every corner.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Oh, Teds, mama thought I was actually IN that place in Rome when a big pile of black jackets lept from a ledge onto the floor and mama caught the movement out of her eye corner and her heart went pitty pat! She thought I had come to visit….maybe I did.
That looks delicious, Loulou, and lovely for a hot day. I hope the kitty house gets restored to it’s rightful place, but I’m sure your mama will set things right.
She is about to approach the Mairie on Monday….we shall see.
It is nice to have things and people back where they belong.
Oui, you’d think THEY would know that and not leave!
Love your shadow picture Loulou! Places do have a hold on us … Many hopes for the best for the outside cats, we always worry about them, too.
I wish they could come be with me in the garden…I could use some company.
Glad they got home safely. I don’t eat fish, but my hubby will enjoy this. XO
Just curious. Why no fish? Smoked salmon is so yummy! And mama could make you fish you would love, I’m sure.
There are all kinds of reasons to be glad they are home…the salmon with melon balls being only one of them. Did you get a taste ? We would lie to be a fly on the wall when Mama gets down to business on the cat house.
Heh heh, we shall see what we shall see….maybe take the mayor a focaccia…
