Thankful Thursday hosted by 

 

Dearest Auntie HiC

The peeps are celebrating their 30th anniversary today, November 21.

They met at Mom’s school in 1994 when Dad volunteered as a resource person, demonstrating to the students how to use a telescope.
The kids loved him, and that melted Mom’s heart.
This saying applies to Mom & Dad:



Enjoy the video Mom made for Dad.

Happy Tuesday stroll through Cameron Village

     

Thank you to our

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at

 Comedy Plus 

Photos snapped during a stroll thru Cameron Village (opened in October 1949) the oldest shopping center in Raleigh.

This is the same shopping center from last week's Cafe Carolina Review HERE 

 I shared many of the new things happening to spruce up this 75 year old shopping center.

It is within 2 miles of NCSU aka Wolf Pack Country's campus.  I'm not sure what the purpose is but FOR SURE IT IS FUN.  So many young folks have never seen a pay phone.
Maybe it is for selfies.




This colorful display sits by the phone booth.



Goodnight's Comedy Club was the first comedy club in Raleigh.  Many years ago we saw many up and coming comedians.  Even Ray Ramona  (aka star of TV's 
Everybody loves Raymond) made several appearances at Goodnight's.
Our daughter and then beau (now husband) saw his routine.
It has moved from the original location to Cameron Village


Happy Tuesday indeed.

Awww Monday with 2 nephews and 1 Niece

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus

Queen Cali has claimed the cat igloo as her own property.




Mom ordered a new one, and Kat has decided it belongs to HIM!



I let Kat know I wasn’t giving up easily, but Mom convinced me to let him have it because he has to get insulin shots twice a day! Geez Louise, give me a break! 😹

Can you keep a secret? I’m a bit claustrophobic, and prefer my plush bed. 



Grab some popcorn to see this quick fun movie.
Volume up please.
I still like to give him a hard time! I’m a Ginger Kitty; that’s what I do! 😹


Sincerely Rocky (Balboa)  aka as Ginger from Georgia

❤️ Rocky  


Dearest Rocky 

Mol mol mol  Auntie will guard your need to know  secret, …AND Kat and Cali don’t need to know. I purrsonally like to spread out too and sometimes I even let my paws dangle outside the covers.  Hot paws are no fun when tryin got sleep. That is a secret too 

PS AUNTIE it is Rocky da Ginger from Georgia again.
My mom likes to dangle her paws from under the covers too.

You, Mom and I are like 3 peas in a pod..

Lovingly your Auntie HiC

Selfie Sunday and pictures of before and after of office

Selfie of my tall shadow on an EMW


Photos of before and after yesterday's interior painting.

Office/exercise/sewing room had not been painted in 25 years...
color is Sherwin William Breaktime Green  we loved it then and still do.  Thankful
SW still makes it.
The large desk, recumbent bike and chair were covered moved to center of room. Two small side tables were moved to the storage room.
All of the sewing/crafting furniture and desk chair are all wheels.  
I rolled the sewing table and cabinet into the storage room that is connected to the room.



After it was painted, I vacuumed floor and mopped it before putting furniture back in place.
None of the furniture is completely against the wall yet.
We'll hang pictures mover furniture in place tomorrow.



Painter will be back Tuesday afternoon to paint our 1/2 bath.
The master bath, foyer and walls on either side of the stairs will be painted
