                  Rosh Hashanah started yesterday and continues through tonight, segueing into Yom Kippur. The days of atonement. I know one particular individual who should think seriously about that… The Jewish history of these holy days is so very interesting.  How very little some of us know about one...

              Hey, mama, I’ll  bet those little…er…big cuties would LOVE to get together with this basil! Well, mama says these guys are like the Marx Brothers (whoever they are), hanging out together for the last weeks on their vine, just groovin’ on a sunny afternoon…la la la.    ...

  Okay, okay, so not many in health professions (or otherwise!) wear this one. But at least it covers my nose and mouth! Well, it seems that those who wear their masks and are out and about, possibly around airborne COVID from a sneeze or cough, will get (if they do get) a smaller dose of COVID virus than if they are not masked.  And if the other...

                  A young baker just having made mama’s focaccia. Well, actually, we in our little ville do not have great figs this year, but my aunty Barbara and uncle Dan in Sonoma, California, have beautiful fruit of all kinds, and figs are the stars. Not sure my aunty ate the figs with pepperoncini,...

                  Better not put me in one of those, mama. Well, mama says that blog title will date her for sure. SWEATER GIRL…what on earth? But a photo from a reader says all.  Still don’t know who Susan is, however.                   Uh…maybe the...

            Do, re, mi…whatever those are…🎶 Well, those doggies do have it over us kitties in some respects… Actually, I have been known to sing in the shower…uh…whatever that is.  Let us just say that my voice is really on key in the morning, just before breakfast, when mama and papa are snoozing...

                  Safer snoozing…LARGE bed. Well, but sometimes at night when the anthros are watching Line of Duty or an old movie or a soccer match, I place myself comfortably on the opposite couch (my personal couch, I might say as I  leave no room for others to annoy my snooze…) and snooze away....

              I look as if I’m out cold, but the smell of those cookies woke me up, you can bet your boopy! Well, when the goin’ gets tough, the tough get cookin’, haha. Mama’s sisinlaw (new word, easier to write) mentioned a breakfast cookie that mama tried out a few days ago and now all of us are...

                  Can you find my little body lounging in the loaming, whatever that is? Mama is such a sucker for alliteration when she helps me blog… Well, after a BIG downpour, I managed to find a semi-dry spot near one of my favorite plants…our very large and prolific (whatever that is) sage...

              LET”S HEAR A CHEER FOR ANDREW! Well, my wonderful Blog Buster found the answer to all the problems, and did it with his poor teeth reeling (if teeth can reel) from dental work and I THANK HIM SO MUCH!  Okay, okay, WE. We’re back on track, and Images works and Schedule works and Publish works (that was really...

  So I’m on my second day of a learning curve, yearning curve, I should call it, for my old Classic Editor, but hey, what the heck, we have to improve our minds, right, and stretch our brains and embrace the unknown and welcome the new and exciting patterns of …. Basta. I’m just plunging in with all four paws and seeing if the...

Okay, here I go. I am writing in this “block” thingy, and believe you me, I am feeling like the new kitty on the block, that’s for sure. I have no way of knowing what this is going to look like on my website, but I had to use this because my Classic Editor is not happy with me for some reason. Or he’s just having an off day. So this...

I HAVE NO ADD MEDIA WORKING PROPERLY.  Sorry, but my blog to day will be without images….who knows why?  Would love suggestions…🌺 May have to blog wih emogis only…argggggg! So, there I am, minding my own business in a nice snoozy place, and my little pink nose tells me that mama is making fish and chips for dinner. Well, I go into the...

          Mama, Maybe I could get a pilot’s license! Well, this is such a lovely story, I thought you might like to be uplifted, no pun intended! Out of this wonderful man’s grief came his heroic actions to save dogs from overcrowded euthanasia shelters and fly them to safe ones. And I do like to give doggies equal space on...

              (My asana is around here somewhere, no?) Well, mama is remiss in not giving me my outfit in which to exercise!  I mean she has tights and tops and good big old sturdy fee…er…shoes with which she can jump and jive (and work off some of that anxiety I perceive lately in her normally calm nature,...

                  I’m just having my dinner while mama raves to papa over her nephew’s new kitty.  La de da…! Not that it bothers me or anything… Okay, mama, this is the last pic of Alvin for awhile, right, but I get it that he IS the new kitty in our family, and so we’re giving him...

                  Doing my housework… Well, le menage (household chores, cleaning, etc.) at our house is done on Wednesdays, with papa grooving on the vacuum and mama playing the pots and pans in the kitchen, plus tidying up our salles de bain (mine included, haha). Actually, I don’t have a bathroom, only...

              Well, mama has always wondered about this nursery rhyme. Because I started out my blog with “Tuesday’s child is full of woe” but fortunately did some fact-checking and found (in fact!) that Tuesday’s child is full of grace.  Well, they found me on a Tuesday so I guess that’s applicable to me. Except when I...
