We are happy to join our Sweet Friend Angel Sugar today
for This Moment, See Beautiful
The definition of
Beautiful: having beauty
I use the word beautiful a lot. However, over the last few
months I have been reminded of many beautiful things in my life.
Family is beautiful, good health is beautiful, friends
are beautiful.
Waking up each morning to a new day with new possibilities
in each moment of the day is beautiful.
I suspect by NOW you all know Madi fills our days
with beauty. She marches to her own itty bitty kitty drum.
Usually she loves sleeping on as many layers a possible;
however, some weeks she choses to shun the nice fluffy
towels placed on each bed

Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday
TODAY I'M JOINING MY BUDDIES Angel SAMMY and Teddy FROM
Today's post is brought to you by the letter
V
Verses
No matter how much we try
our verses are the worst.
We try to rhyme but most times
it just comes out like we have mouths full mush.
Each week we feel we should hush.
However, the party in mom's head starts to
dance saying girls
Alas try, try again
The nonsense has no end.
We have a few more verses to say
Fifteen years ago today
the sun did shine, the stars were aligned.
My mom saw a kit with a pink nose
Happily she proclaimed little girl you are mine.
As this poem draws to a close,
let me just say
today is my 15th Got'cha day...
And each of the fifteen have been
F I N E!!

| This photo was taken about 3 days after Madi (who at the name was nameless) came to live with us. It took us longer to agree on a name for her than it did to name our Daughter |
Needless to say I, Madi(son) D Cat am VERY THANKFUL to
be loved and cared for by my peeps.
I am Thankful to TG (tall guy) and Jack for helping us get our blog started way back in 2009.
Without their help and encouragement we would not be blogging!!
Jack's, Bro Kai, came by to say hi today too.
Kai is so handsome when we saw this photo we squealed.

Tuesday Tale: Sis's HS graduation
Since it is graduation time mom and I thought we'd share a story about
human Sis's high school Graduation in 1989.
Sis went to Needham B. Broughton High School, it was established in 1929 as then-Raleigh High School. It is the oldest high school in Raleigh still being used to this day.
Over the years additions have been made to the back of the school but the
front remains as it was in 1929.
In 1989 there were over800 correction Dad, resident numbers guy, told mom it was a hair over 500 graduating seniors, too many to graduate in the school auditorium. A decision was made to hold graduation on the football field shown below. The stage was set up in the middle of the field along with chairs for the graduating class. Family and friends sat on the metal bleachers behind the fence. So as you see below the track field was between the bleachers and the football field. IMPORTANT fact our last name begins with a U and the ceremony was in alphabetical order
On graduation day my sis, mom, dad, and both sets of grandparents and Sis' uncle
headed to the school. As they arrived it started to drizzle YIKES but that was the least of the worries that day. Everyone found a seat the band played as the grads walked onto the field.. Most of those attending left their good manners in their car I guess because it was on a football field. The grads were so far away it was hard to hear their names; however, as soon as a grad received their diploma their family got and clomped down all the metal stairs...as the next letter of the alphabet was called. So this went on and on and on all thru the alphabet. FINALLY they called U.....the grads filed up to the stage.
Just as Upchurch was called a good size airplane flew over the field. The peeps did not hear Sis's name called nor could the see her 'cause the rude people were clomping down the stairs. It was a fiasco...the following week the principal sent out a letter to all the grads and their families apologizing for the fiasco. It was the first and last out door graduation at
Broughton. To this day none of the auditoriums in any of the high schools are large enough. The high schools use other larger facilities around the city.
