Well, let’s hope anyway. Have a lovely, sane, not-too-hot Fourth, with tidbits from the barby…. My idea of a great Fourth is in my photo above, haha. So what else is new? Here, we are grilling salmon and vegetables so I will get a bite of that! The fish, that is, NOT the eggplant or onions or squashers, whatever they are… Today I am...

Maybe the answer is in this water… Sometimes, if you don’t know whether you’re coming or going, you could try just standing still and letting the answer come to you instead of looking for it. Well, that’s my spark for today, because I really do not know often whether I’m going or coming. For example I go in and out of the house way too many times a day,...

Selfie With Whiskers Well, that sun is a-risin’ toward the low 30s this summer and let’s hope it stops there. Have a relaxing and cool Sunday, everyone. I’m taking the morning off as mama deserted me for the open market to find Garriguette strawberries, whatever they are. All I know is that they make really good ice cream! ZZZZZZ...

Aristo-kitty Contemplating The Bust of Papa Well, that’s our Saturday art, along with this small sculpture that mama gave papa recently because of the…er…horsie’s…sheep…uh…camel…sort of animal. OOPS FORGOT THIS!...

Fill-ins exhaust me sometimes… Okay, that title is a stretch, but what the heck. I’m running out of words with “fill” in them, haha. 1. When I meow very loudly in the car, uh, oh__, it means that I am sick. 2. I __like seeing them but not hearing__fireworks. 3. I have a newfound appreciation for __GETTING HOME FROM MY VET AND OUT OF THAT CAR! 4. I think...

Today, I am thankful for cool tiles and, how do you say in your language, chilling out. Going, going, gone… ZZZZZZZ I’m thankful that blogger friends are healthy and that kitties have good vet reports, too. I go this afternoon…argggghhhhhh. I feel as does Teddy: love the vet, HATE the...

I’m sneaking downstairs to get my goat yogurt with B12 that I forgot to eat this morning…don’t tell…. Nummy…I feel my back legs ready to jump at any...

Here I am in my usual spot, just sun-puddling along and today I’m just putting in pics to let you know what goes on around here. Here is one of our beaches with summer tourists beginning to arrive. YIKES! A Truffle shark (four legs, barks) in the water!!! Well, that’s all I have for today. Have to go practice my wordlessness… (For those...

 I wish I could remember to sleep LYING DOWN!!! Well, sometimes the things we are trying to remember may not be the important things that we easily DO remember and seem to appear at the right moment out of our way-too-filled-up-grey-matter. I just made that up inspired by mama frustrated over not remembering things fast enough and also other kitty mamas I...

Well, mama got a bit up close and personal, if you ask me, but no one did. Have a rollicking, reckless, riotous Sunday and celebrate SUMMER! Finally here… I am a bit miffed that mama would not notice that I had mulch on my head from the garden before she did a portrait!  I am a bit picky about this. You can only see the three bits if you look very closely,...

Well, today, I put in Julian and Lisa when they were very young and mama did portraits of each to remember what they looked like at that age! Julian is now 30 and Lisa 24 and will visit us in August along with their two siblings, their mama, her friend, and THEIR friends (all in another house, mama wants you to know, haha). They also LOVE kitties so the...

    Well, mama is taking over today because it is HOT, HOT and I am just lying in the shade and taking it easy, whatever ‘it’ is… 1. Never underestimate __the power of a kitty. 2. __My honey makes me __so, so happy every day. 3. I need to __slow down so that I can __smell the flowers… 4. I didn’t realize __how much...

Okay, dear readers, I know that the title is a bit…er…personal…but mama and papa are VERY thankful for those little absorbent pads that…er..seem to be where I choose to…er…do whatever…uh, only the P-word, not that other thing. But WHY do I pee outside my very clean litter box instead of IN??? Diabetes may be the...

WAIT A MINUTE! I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS DOGGY VISIT!!! Okay, okay, I’ll be a good neighbor. He is called Truffle, as in truffle and he lives up the street and swims in the sea and is, well, frankly, adorable. As you can see I am overjoyed at the visit. You get the picture, right? No...

Mama, losing comments wears me out! Where do they GO? Well, some of your lovely comments seem not to have been answered because…well…they disappeared from the comments page and mama can find them! Hope to find them and answer! Meanwhile, thank you for all of them, always. I just LOVE hearing your views on anything and everything, news about...

  Blurry, but may make the grade for awwww…. Today we celebrate in the USA Juneteenth, the day of emancipation for Blacks who were enslaved up until the declaration by the US government that all were now free and equal on all counts. Our spark today is from a soul song by William Bell, and the lyrics say, You don’t miss your water...

  HAPPY PAPA’S DAY TO YOU, PAPA! You know just how to rub me and elevator me upstairs and talk me into eating my dinner when I have walked away and just where to place me on the bed when we ALL turn in for the night and you know too many other things that are important and miraculous and moving for me to put then all down here in my tiny blog. I...

It’s a stretch… Well, today is just so beautiful with warm sea breezes and little birdbrains pecking all over the dropped seeds from their bird feeder and mama’s tomatoes popping up everywhere, especialliy in the ROSES where they came up on their own (!) and mama’s wonderful friend she had not seen for LOTS of years now staying in...
