Happy 250th Birthday to the USofA

Fourth of July Flashbacks 



We hope you enjoy your day.
I'LL BE SITTING BY MY WINDOW
Watching my peeps plant a new mailbox post...
and boy was it time.  Of course there
will be pictures coming to a blog near you soon.

We 3 are  THANKFUL FOR THE FREEDOM
WE ALL ENJOY!



Happy Birthday to the USA

Happy Fourth of July,
Mom and I thought one of us should pose next to our Grand Flag. I'm all paws when it comes to using a camera so Mom had to be the one taking the picture. I'm happy to admit, my four paws have NEVER touched the ground (diva remember). We decided to use my understudy in the picture. I, personally, think this kitty looks like a scaredy cat. I asked Mom if this is what happens to a cat when it's paws touch the ground?

We wish our friends near and far a glorious and safe Fourth of July. Madi & Mom 


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Nature and Feline Friday

Our Crepe Myrtles in full bloom in Mid June....most unusual at least a month early.

I expect the extra super duper heat in June fooled them into thinking it was July

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #269

Thankful Thursday hosted

For a very thoughtful and kind neighbor, Jane

Recently she texted to ask if I had piereced ears.

(I giggled a bit I've known her 30 years...I guess she never noticed my ears)

I replied yes, she said her sister in law gave her these Napier silver pierced earrings. 

She said, I only wear gold.   If you like them, they are YOURS.

Her sister in law lives out of state I guess she doesn't see Jane enough to know her preference.

WIN WIN for me.

I SAID absolutely, I wear silver, white gold or yellow gold.  thank you.


 Today we join

at Sammy's Poetry Corner


In the summer it is hot,
My couch is where I lounge.
I have to air my undercarriage
'cause it is sticky, sweaty and smelly.
I hope my feline sister doesn't
find me...
She likes to crouch and pounce on my bits and pieces
OUCH!

Wordless Wednesday a story from Kit

  

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at

 Comedy Plus


Last Thursday's photo challenge with twins reminded Kit this.

Just a few words of explanation

Shortly after Kit retired from teaching the daughter of Kit's dear friend had triplets ALL GIRLS.  She also had a 13 month old.  Her Mom set up a New Mom's  help 'train'.  Two Mom's helpers at a time.

"This was my first day with them.  I was out of my comfort zone, but I LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!!

Neither Kit or the other helper  had any children of their own.  I told Kit it was a gorgeous photo and smile.  She said "I am not sure that was a smile, I was in shock. Can you believe I had never changed a diaper until then".  However, all went well. She add, 'the girls all have graduated with honors and are attending college on scholarships.'


Kit I so much thank you for sharing this story and photo

Hugs HiC
