Happy 85th Birthday to my G-ma
March 28, 1928
Her new meds seem to be helping with her hallucinations.
This picture was taken on August 15, 1998 at my
human sister's wedding.
Grandpa Grandma
COLLECTING
MOM'S BEEN DOING A LITTLE SPRING
SPIT POLISHING AND CLEANING
SHE SAID WHILE THE VASES WERE DUST AND (CAT )
HAIRLESS SHE WANTED TO SHOW YOU HER
SHELL COLLECTION
B.M. (before me) she found
Four whole sand dollars and a piece of
sea sponge on Atlantic beach. It is nearly
impossible to find either now
she especially enjoyed collecting what she calls
miniature shells
NOW SHE JUST COLLECTS PICTURES OF
ME
WHEN WE STARTED BLOGGING IN 2009, SHE ONLY HAD SOME POLAROID SHOTS OF ME....NOW
SHE HAS MORE THAN SHE CARES TO ADMIT...FOR FEAR
OF BEING CALLED A
CRAZY CAT LADY.
What beautiful shells and sand dollars! Of course the Madi photo collection is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteHappy 85th to the G-ma!! We're glad she's responding to her new meds. Hugs and purrs for at all of you from us at Prancer Pie.
Happy Birthday G-ma! Oh Madi your mom could never have too many pictures of you. If that makes you a crazy cat lady then my mom is a crazy dog person.

No way could shells...no matter how beautiful..compare to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Grandma! We have a friend with dementia who hallucinates...very sad.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Happy Birthday G-Ma!
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear she is responding to the new meds.
Those shells are so beautiful. Our mama remembers when you could find whole sand dollars too but that was long ago.
But the best collectable of all is of course photos of you sweet Madi.
Purrs,

Happy birthday to your G-ma - that is great news about her meds. My human used to collect shells as a child but she has no idea what happened to them.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Grandma and we are so glad the meds are helping. Aww mums' not a crazy cat lady she loves you Madi and who could not. Anyway my peeps must be a crazy dog thing then? Have a terrific Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh dat is just wonderful news dat your G-Ma is doin' good on da new meds. Does her has extras? I has been told I hallucinate...or was it delusions of grandeur? Whatever.
ReplyDeleteGood shells do be hard to find now. When da hoomans was at Jekyll Island they seen bunches though! But they won't go back theres cuz they also had too many bugs.
A good collection of Madi fotos is priceless and at least your mom knows her priorities are now...hehehe.

Happy Birthday to your Grandma! We're so happy the new meds are helping her. That's always good!
ReplyDeleteMommy loves those sand dollars. She almost bought a lamp made entirely of sand dollars and shells but she knew she'll either have to hide it in a cabinet or risk having us break it. Hee hee.
Happy, Happy Birthday to Grandma! We're glad to hear that the medicine is helping her. That's just too frightening. We're sending her long distance wishes for a peaceful day.
ReplyDeleteWe just absolutely LOVE your mom's shell collection. My Mommy has a large collection of them too in NY. She's collected them ever since she was a little girl from all the places she has been. Mommy has been looking for a lamp that she can fill and display them in, but hasn't found the lamp yet. (She knows they are made but are very hard to find.) Your Mom picked the perfect jars for them!!
Hugs,
Lily Belle & Muffin
Happy Birthday to your Grandma! I am so glad the meds are helping her :)
ReplyDeleteLuv your beach collections! There is a beach near me where you can find shark teeth and collect them. Next time Mom goes there I'll remind her to look for some to send to ya :)
Madi, you look marvelous as always :) So what's wrong with being a crazy cat lady? It's all good :D
Waggin at ya,
Roo
Happy birthday to your grandma, Madi. We're glad the meds are helping her!
ReplyDeleteThe shells are pretty; our human used to collect shells (and pretty-coloured stones too), but hasn't kept any of them through her various moves.
Happy long weekend to you all!
Happy Birthday to your Grandma! Glad she is doing okay. What a collection you have. Looks beautiful on the counter.
ReplyDeletePiggy kisses,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Oh Madi, our person really is one crazy cat lady. Not to worry about yours Madi. We love Sand dollars. We use to use them for ornaments on our Christmas tree before cats. Great picture of your Grannie and Grandpa. So glad to hear that the medicine is working. Take care.
ReplyDeleteMomz collects shells too...She likes Scotch Bonnets the best...And Madi you're so lovely there's no such thing as too many photos of you...They're all precious
ReplyDeleteso now instead of MOM she will be known as CCL crazy cat lady... or maybe crazy shell lady... mother was a crazy shell lady... she had hundreds of shells, she grew up here where i live now and shelling was very popular, the beaches were covered with them, and now they are few and far between.
ReplyDeleteNo way to the crazy cat lady. It just shows her overflowing love for the most beautiful Madi. I mean really how could anyone resist not taking pictures of you. They would have to be crazy.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Happy birthday to your G-Ma!!!!
ReplyDeleteCool finding those shells, a shame they are gone now.
Love your picture Madi.

WE can understand why your mom has 87 bazillion pictures of YOU. You are a PURRRRRfect subject.
Happy Birthday, G-ma! I too am doing some cleaning. It's overwhelming. I LOVE your shell collection. Shells truly do look beautiful in glass containers.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to granny. We have that jar too with shells. The shells you are not suppose to take from the beach
ReplyDeleteSnorts,
Benny & Lily
Happy Birthday to Grandma! Your Mom is a nice combo of her Mom and Dad.
ReplyDeleteThe shells are beautiful - Mom remembers hunting for shells on the New England shore when she was a little girl - a hundred years ago.
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
The shells are pretty nifty, especially the sand dollars, but I think pictures of you are even BETTER!

ReplyDeleteOh, I FORGOT that your Grandma shares a Gotcha Day with me! I'm awfully glad to hear she's feeling better and I sure hope she has a Most Wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you for coming to my pawty and dancing with Smudge. He's still walking on air! (I think he has a teensy crush on you. But then, what mancat doesn't?)
I sure do like your mom's shells. They're very pretty. I think I like the sand dollars the best of all. Can you buy anything with 'em?
Wiggles & Wags,
Mayzie
Happy Birthday to your Grandma!!! So glad she is feeling a bit better. My Ma likes to collect those little seashells too. It is a silly habit, if you ask me. I think she should be collecting dog biscuits or something edible for me.

Glad to hear that you g-ma is doing a bit better! I shudder when I think of how many doggie pictures we have in the house too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Grandma from all of us! Those shells look very pretty Madi, but not as pretty as you!
ReplyDeleteBig Happy Birthday to G-Ma, so pleased she is doing better, what a lovely photo :) I loves those shells, beautiful Madi xxx00xxx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
Oh, I am soooo glads your Gma is doin' better!! YEA! Tell hers I'm still thinkin' of her!
ReplyDeleteOkays, those are some FABulous shells!! When Ma was a wee one, she collected all kinds of shells at the beach ~ mean woman won't take ME to the beach to collect stuffs!! Geesh.
I don't thinks there is anything wrong with havin' like 87 thousand pics of you Madi! Nopes.
Happy Happy Burthday Gma!!
Kisses,
Ruby
Woof! Woof! Happy Birthday to your Gma. Did your mom made a special cake for her. LOVE her shell collections. Golden Prayers that your Gma continue to do well. Lots of Golden woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteSo glad your G-ma is doing better...Mummy can't help it...she has to take many pics of you Madi!

Madi
ReplyDeleteMom has over 50000 pictures, mostly of us kitties, so tell your Mom not to feel bad. It's not unusual for Mom to take several hundred at a time of us to get only 3 or 4 she will publish on the blog. She's persnickety! Happy Birthday to your G-Ma! She sure is purrty!!!
No not crazy at all. Mum is just the same and has everything imaginable with me on. Mum said you are alike as she has much the same shape jar full of shells she has collected. Not seen sand dollars before though and they look lovely. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your grandma!!! I am so glad the new meds are helping her!!!! What a sweet picture - they look so happy!!
ReplyDeleteMy assistant loves sand dollars, too. She found a couple whole ones back in high school on the Gulf Coast of Florida, but you are right they are long gone.
Your pal, Pip
Happy Birthday to your lovely Grandma! I hope it is a grand day for her.
ReplyDeleteYour Mom's shell collections are quite pretty yet they cannot outshine you, dear Madi!
It's a good thing your mom keeps her collections in those vases...otherwise those shells would be everywhere, wouldn't they, Madi??
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your G-Ma. We're glad she's doing better.
Mom has a million pics of me and Stanley. Glad your G-ma is better. Tell her we said "Happy Birfday"! Growing old isn't for sissies!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Pee Ess - We are still looking for hard hats that will fit us. Dad has a delivery coming in the morning so we will be doing lots more work!
You've got some beautiful collections to purr over, Madi. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletePh Wow! What a great collection of shells. Our Mommy used to has some sand dollars that shes gots on Long Beach (where we went camping with Sammy) But some cat (who shall remain nameless) knocked them onto the floor and they breaked!!!
ReplyDeleteNow my mommy collects cat pictures too!
Kisses
