Friends forever. In case you...

Friends Mama and papa have special friends visiting here who drove all the way from Nice and...

  😻😻😻 Well, our Saturday is the same as the last WEEK….RAIN RAIN and RAIN. Our garden had better produce some quality plants after this deluge, whatever that is. It is WET out there and heaven knows where Mr Rasta is keeping dry. He does have an apartment entrance that is always open so he CAN be dry if he chooses and we really hope he uses that...

It’s even WET UP HERE!  What a Christmas…. It is POURING rain all week long and our poor open market vendors must be suffering so much. Of course the plants are happy but really, folks, enough is enough! Whoever did that rain dance had better take a break! Probably one of those no-good elves who had plans for being on a warm beach instead of of...

That Mr. Bean is really something! Well, mama has suddenly started watching Mr. Bean videos to start the day laughing and one of them is so, so funny. It’s the “Hallelulah” part mama loves, which she found on Instagram, but the whole video is hilarious. Mr. bean is evidently having a big come-back at 70. Aren’t we lucky! *** Only...

I, of course, was on this wonderful Ann Adamus card and wanted mam to use it again as she and papa were a bit pressed to do a new one. It works for us.🎄 ***** Sorry about that Forgotten Friday Fill-in thingy…maybe should have talked to a kid, haha for jarring mama’s memory. Adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up...

THE END OF THE YEAR IS IN 10 DAYS? WHOA! ***** Well, not exactly stars on Sunday, but tonight, the Winter Solstice, longest day of the year and black as a black kitty here (!), there is to be a meteor shower to end all meteor showers. Wherever you are. Do WE ever see these miracles? NEVER. Maybe our sky is just too bright to see them or probably just too...

Well, Rasta is standing in for me, and mama found this Pencil Sketch on Lunapic and because it wa so weird, she had me put it in for Sat Cat. That’s not any pencil sketch I have seen, that’s for sure. But what the heck. Weird is sometimes fun! Would love to find that pencil, haha. Here’s another a bit more sane, haha. A REAL kittie,...

Papa is really a great guy!!! I was lucky to have him as my papa. ***** This is a photo of our neighbor’s decorations on the little trees that are all over our village. The city puts red bows on all the trees, but my neighbor actually decorates the one in front of her house and puts lights on it, too. Such a sweet neighbor! She was an animal trainer...

Holidays exhaust even ME, who has nothing to DO but float… 🎄🎶🎁 Happy Hanukkah to all! ***** Well, we really loved this one. Because…well…because, why not?

Well, mama thought this sweet sticker from Ms Ellen would make a nice selfie today, so I’m putting this in instead of me. Merci, Ms E. And Rasta is out there having breakfast, as we posted a day ago but here he is again. Mama is going to find out if his family is in town right now. Sometimes they are gone, but he does have access to his stairway and...

Well, we are so grateful for all of you. That’s a given each day, in every way. ***** But no thanks to our government and so-called ‘leader’.  We are thanking of all the workers and in so many areas of our lives and those who are simply a different color who are being taken away illegally, torn from their families, tear-gassed on their...
