Today is 

Thank you Zoolarty for this graphic

I LOVE THESE TWO DRAWERS

THEY ARE MOM'S AND QUITE 

MYSTERIOUS

 RECENTLY I WAS GIVEN AN UNEXPECTED

PRIVILEGE TO EXPLORE

 Imagine my surprise when I FINALLY

discovered the contents 87 ..... 

 and twice as many summer socks

 Mom only has two feets!!!

She says she loves socks

I repeat she has two feets!!!  Why so many socks?

Only Dr. Seuss could explain this mystery

Socks on the floor for me to explore

Socks  in a drawer from the store,

Socks  in my nose 
that should be on her toes
Socks here and there.
A hoarder she is furever more!!!!

Respectfully submitted 

by Madi and Mom just two Senior

ladies who are never bored.

December 31st word is
DESSERT

The Peep's favorite dessert is
I Scream in any form.

Happy Happy New Year and Be sure to 

wear some warm socks if you are out and about
tonight especially if you are eating I Scream.

I got (3 packages) MAIL

Subtitle: Not Earl Came A Callin'

Guyz and Dollz what fun I had over Christmas weekend.

I rec'd two packages from *Not Earl (aka my mail man).  If you don't know about  Not Earl here is the story.  

He is one fine mailman!!

*Our mail man story:  Not Earl has been our mailman for nearly 30 years. Until about 10 years ago, my peeps thought our his name was Earl.

One week Not Earl was gone for some time. Dad finally asked the substitute mailman if Earl was sick?  He said, do you mean Tony?  Dad said, Oh, His name is "Not Earl"?

The substitute said no it is Not Earl, it is Tony.

From that day forward the peeps still call him (not to his face) "Not Earl"!

My peeps don't think he looks like a Tony.

Every time mom tells this story I ask her what a Tony looks like.

I never get an answer.

MOL MOL MOL

1. Raz my surfer guy from Florida sent me a most wonderful box...

on and the stuffs inside were twice as nice as the box!!

My card..............was so sweet I smiled all the day long

 I love love love it Raz now I can give you an itty bitty kitty smack on your lips and time I feel like it.

Raz also sent me some delish treats...you know the way to a gal's heart is through her tummy!!

THANK YOU 87 TIMES RAZ YOU ARE THE BESTEST AND MOST ATTENTIVE BEAU!!

****************************************************

2. This year was my first year pawticipating in the Cat Scouts Card and Gift Exchange.

I want to thank my fellow scouts for all the cards.  MOLMOL I bet the 

knickers right off the peeps.

Scout Mango drew my name...

3. About 87 weeks ago Frankie and Ernie sent a package addressed
to my Dad.  They told him to guard it closely until 12/25/16.  Then he could 
give it to me if I had been  good. I got it so proof positive I was good.

Evidently FnE got wind of the fact that MOM and I save nothing for later.
If it arrives it gets opened lickety split. MOL

Thoroughly Poetic Thankful Thursday

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday with Angel Sammy

ONE SPOILED CAT 

Today's post is brought to you by the letter

C

Catty

def: being subtly or indirectly insulting; 

cattiness is often clever or witty.

Last week as we prepped for the arrival of BIL and SISSY

Mom said Madi please do not to be Catty.

I always try to put on my good kitty cappy

But there is something about Sissy 

that brings out the hissy kitty in me.

I try to be good but sissy invades my space.

She sits in my chairs even though I give her my best glares.

She doesn't move so I hiss and
SHE HISSES back!

She moves her stuffs into places that are mine.

I'm here because of Sissy I know that in my mind

She missed a furry critter being here after Toto the mighty mini Dachshund passed.

Sissy begged and pleaded for the first kitty to be brought home.

So that she would not be alone. 

To the shelter they went when she was thirteen.

They came home with baby Milky-way, whom I'm told was not catty, or hissy and was always kind.  

Truth be told I am a kind kitty, and rarely catty but I do have a bit of diva-tude.

Eventually Sissy and I get over our hissi-ness but never ever do we 

get kissy we just agree not to be hissy!!

Side note from mom:  Madi's sissy is a huge, huge huge cat/animal lover.
She has tried to make friends with Madi. Never forces herself on Madi.
Anytime she pasess by Madi, Madi hisses.  It is embarrassing and a mystery.
Sissy really doesn't get to see the sweet kitty we live with. LOL
Madi doesn't even hiss at repairmen in the house when the come near her!!
We don't have a clue why Madi hisses.  Could be that Madi smells Sissy's
kitties Frisco and Mia.

Bringing Easy Home

Everyone wanted to honor Easy and his staff so we asked his staff how we could do that.

This was their reply:

"I thought we maybe can bring him home together. 

If everyone could have a candle for him in your posts... and for all we lost this year... too many families are in tears this time"  

As always Easy and Staff are thinking of their friends too

Today, along with the Staff of Easy we are 

Easy and Staff had such a way with words...they made us laugh and taught us
so many fun new expressions.  We are mentioning a few of them in our tribute

Thoroughly Poetic Thankful Thursday

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday with Angel Sammy

ONE SPOILED CAT 

Today's post is brought to you by the letter

B 

(and this is a true story)*

Believe

The year was 1958 it was Christmas Eve

When the old gray mare was just a philly,

her Dad overheard her say she did not BELIEVE!

 This he thought this is something quite silly

How had she become so deceived?

She was about to be ten and quite grown up then.

Her dad was a wise man.  He hatched a plan

with the neighbor man.  Together they

would make sure on this Eve the kids believed.

Twas late and all non believers were told to get themselves to bed.

Just as the silly philly was about to drift off into dreamland

there arose such a clatter of bells and Ho Hos she

sprang from her bed to see what was the matter.

She was about to look out the window, when up on the roof

she heard a thump thump thump.

Was it Santa about to land? Yikes she said

I better jump back in bed

It is Christmas Eve and all who now BELIEVED

were RELIEVED!!

Below is a photo of the philly  Christmas Day 1958

*side note from the Silly Philly aka TOGM

That year my older cousin and I, were getting too big for our britches, started talking nonsense around the wee ones in the family.  My Dad and Uncle decided to put the Spirit of Christmas back in our heads.  Back then houses had allies between them. My Dad and my uncle met in the alley with bells and a ladder.

One rang the bells while the other knocked on the roof with work boots.

Needless to say Mom was and still is very Thankful for her Dad and her Uncle

making her believe and to always be thankful

We join Brian's

And we are extremely thankful for each and everyone of you !!

We send you kitty kisses and mom hugs

Tuesday Train Tale

 This is what is in the box...note at the arrow...what is says so I guess I won't get 

a box for keeps but just for a little while

Dad ordered this train.  They are not mass produced

so he had to wait  87 years for it to be made. OMCs is it heavy and is he a happy camper

 He took it over to Mr. Jerry's house.  Mr. Jerry is a retired electrical engineer.

He is programming Dad's train to run on the sound systems he has set up.  

Boy would I like to be a fly on the wall when these train brains run their new trains.

Because I know you are interested...I did a wee kitty interview with Dad about the train.

Dad give us a the cliff note version of what this train is all about!!

From the lips of Dad:  It is a model of a Southern Pacific SD9 (early 1950's era).
It is diesel and has a complete sound system built in to reproduce all the sounds of a real
engine including all the bells and whistles.

Below are two of Dad's favorite things toGETher!!

Monday Mews featuring Murphy

Right out of the gate I'd like to thank Ms. Diana aka mom to Oreo for organizing the

Blogville Gift exchange and Phod and Hailey's Lady for the wonderful Christmas card list.


 OMCs Madi, representative of F.L.U.F.F and newly appointed Blogville Dispatcher was very excited to learn Mayor Murphy 'drew' my name in the gift exchange.
FYI:  Murphy is a K9, I am a Feline so you know what that means

Murphy had to disguise himself as a Feline so he would be allowed over on the best dark side of the Pet store. Murphy good buddy a big meow of thanks to you for donning disguise just for little old me!!

Murphy evidently found the purrfect purrson in the Feline side of the store to help him.
I'm sure the disguise was what won her over too.

After I got over the shock of the YeoWWW!,  I enjoyed the mices but I will not share my greenies with them.

Short video that mom FINALLY added to YouTube...if you can't see it click here

But an even more handsome K9 with a million dollar smile and a heart the size of
of all the lovely state parks you visit!!

Murphy and Stanley...I know how much you enjoy hearing about the escapades of 

the Cat Scouts.  We went to the North Pole Yesterday here are a few photos
