Happy Tuesday on New Year's Eve from the Mantel


Thank you to our

Celebrating Lights on our Mantel... make me happy

Angel Madi's permanent spot is on the right end of the Mantel

She LOVED jumping from the back of the white chair on the left, to the edge of the mantel.  She carefully stroll across the mantel not disturbing anything.  She would sit on the right edge of the (where you see a carved wooden likeness of her).  Next she would jump on top of the secretary beside the mantel.  She loved 'surprising' us with a hearty Meow from this perch.   I wonder what Angel Madi would have thought about our fairy lights.  I expect she would have found a way to tip toe thru them with care too.

I played with some adjustments on my iPhone...this is warm hues
Bryan had a wonderful and creative idea to string ornaments on red cotton yard across the mantel.  This is the first year. We'll be doing this again.

Flashback 
August 12, 2017

The Celebrating and loving life one adventure at a time.


During Madi's first year with us she climbed on anything that did not run
 from her. The favorite place was to jump from this chair to the mantel, 
walk across it to the top
of the secretary.  I was never able to get photos of the adventure...
but I witnessed it many times.
It appears the cortisone shot and all the yummy sardines(she loves sardines),
tuna and regular cat food Miss Piggy is eating she has found the fountain of
 kittenhood.
While I was cleaning up after supper Saturday evening 8/12/17, 
I saw this....what happened next was transpired in about 1 minute.
Thankfully my camera was handy

Mom Here:
Pictures speak volumes. I do apologize for the blurry photos.
Just before I started snapping I was washing some pots
I still had on my rubber gloves.
UP I go
I was not quick enough to catch the spring up

I would have made it to the top of the secretary, but Dad caught me.  
As you can see in the
above photo, that leap was another ~1' up.  The dang blue bird statute is 
about 8" high was in the way.
I needed to be about where it was to make my jump without deading the bird.
I coulda made it from here but the blue bird would have been history
Also in the past when I made it to the top of the secretary which is 8' high 
it was alleged I chewed on the finial and Dad had to get the step stool out to get me off the top.

As the saying goes, it is not about the destination but about the journey
and FRIENDS the journey was fabulous!!!!

Dearest Auntie HiC

Guess what we got for Christmas?!?
A new roof, ha! 😹
Santa sent his elves to our house to install a new roof a few days before Christmas.

Boy was it loud! The Peeps took us out to the RV to escape all the commotion.





We kept our eyes on those elves, and they were busy as bees.
Excuse the dirty RV window.

❤️ Kat, Rocky, & Cali

Dearest Kat, Rocky and Cali
OMCs thank goodness your new roof was installed before 
St Nick and his Reindeer landed up on the roof top with the clomping of 
28 hooves.
