Red and Blue were selected in 1945 as North Carolina's official Colors

TASTY TUESDAY

On January 29, 2025 we tried an

 EGGcellent new Cafe in town

Eggs Up Grill

YES the sky was really this blue!! The first 3 weeks of January were just miserable with cold and 2 ice/sleet/snow events not much accumulation but just back to back.

EGGS UP GRILL

We both ordered their Classic Breakfast $9.99

The same breakfast at another brunch cafe is $11.99

2 eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, grits or hash browns and coffee but that is not included in $9.99 but you get fee refills.

This is my order I had sourdough toast, 

It was 200% as delicious as it looks.  Grits were perfect consistency, buttery. They could have been a tad bit hotter but delicious. Bryan ordered hash browns and wheat toast.

Ambiance and Service both EGGcelent

They did indeed make us smile

 We'll be going back and win win it is very conveniently located, great parking.

I got a chuckle out of this egg counter, 13,797, sign in the cafe.

The cafe has been opened about 4 or 5 months.

I hope the cafe gets a good deal on the eggs they buy

 Do you see what I see⁉️⁉️

Cali has been trying her best to open the cabinet doors! 🙀

Our Cali Girl just wants to have fun!!!

She acts innocent, but I’m keeping my eye on her, as I smell TROUBLE‼️

Love from your Ginger Nephew

❤️ Rocky

ROCKY OMCs Auntie HiC is almost speechless. Cali girl best be very very happy that this Caper didn't occur when St. Nick was making a list and checking it twice.  She might have landed on the questionable side of his nice and naughty list.  Per chance was Cali looking an elf who escape

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

PS Auntie HiC

Since this video was taken, Cali has been trying to get in every cabinet in the house. The banging sound alerts us all! Maybe you’re right & she’s looking for the Elf! 😹

Thank you both  for hosting!

 Mom took a walk Thursday, January 30th, she heard something rustling in the leaves! 

Hoping to discover a cute bunny,

she suddenly felt like she had entered Jurassic Park! 😹

Did you know armadillos have prehistoric ancestors? The earliest armadillo fossils date back about 60 million years, and the ancestors of modern armadillos are related to the glyptodonts, which were giant, armored mammals. 

Apparently armadillos operate under the same assumption as ostriches. If I can’t see you, you can’t see me! 😹

Mom, I, Rocky, will and my reflection will keep all 4 of our eyes

on high alert.  Mr. Armadillo cannot hide from our 

golden eagle Eyes.

I’m on my lookout perch, & will alert the peeps if the varmint returns to our yard. They make a mess of the grass! 

 ❤️ Rocky 

Here is a video mom took on her walk.

Note from Kit:

I like the original Jurassic Park theme by John Williams, but this Jurassic World theme by Michael Giacchino is my fav, more powerful. The music available on TikTok is excellent. 😉

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

Dearest Rocky whew when I heard rustling my first thought was that Boo Boo Da Bear was out of Hibernation, however, the Armadillo might be small it could be scary at first glance.

He doesn't know that he has invaded the property of Rocky da Rocket Man

Love Auntie HiC

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #198

  Thankful Thursday hosted by 

Dear Auntie HiC

Mom says the news has been very sad lately, and so many are feeling overwhelmed.

She stopped on her walk today.  She is Thankful for all the peace & comfort Mother Nature provides including a babbling creek.

Take a minute & just breathe❣️

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

My first thought when I saw these ladies they care not what others think they just wanna have fun

Senior ladies of three,

have no inhibitions.

Their motto is 'let us be we are free'!

What others think matters not!!

We like dressing to the nines.

Pink boas and black mask are our chosen attire

Raise a glass to fun,

Dearest Auntie HiC

 I have found the lady cat of my dreams❣️

I received the most exciting letter from her, which I’ve framed & read often.

I do believe Miss Katie Isabella & I were “meant to be”!

I sleep most of the time, but she’s always in my dreams❣️

❤️ Kat

Dearest Kat and Katie Isabella..Auntie HiC 200% approves of your courtship.

Awww Monday RE: Rocky Responds and Sparks

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

My mind has been “buzzed” by all the responses to my Cool Katz Dating video! 



I’ve been corresponding with several of the lady cats who responded to my Cool Katz Dating video. 

But I have to say, some of their photos concern, & even scare me! 🙀

You were absolutely correct, Misty & Timber:

Weird, huh?

Anyway, I’ve decided to narrow my search, & stick to our Blogville friends.

I’m just a shy, sweet boy looking for female feline companionship, nothing kinky! 😹

I’ve been visiting kitty bloggers & leaving messages.

 

For now, my heart belongs to Mom❣️

❤️ Rocky 

Dearest Nephew Rocky

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend

HOWEVER

Auntie HiC is here to tell you that Your Mom is yours.

Inspired by Mack from Trout Talkin Tabbies post on October 23, 2024

I'll make this short about my experience cricket hunting

Way back 53 years when Marlu was an itty bitty infant, I had just gotten her back to sleep from a 2 am feeding.   I get in bed and lo and behold Jimny Cricket starts singing...and it was loud. I quietly tip toed around trying to find it...finally found the sound most likely coming from the linen closet which was across from Marlu's room. Those things jump and knew actually slaying it was not going happen. So I got a jar in hopes of trapping it til morning. Well of course it jumped out of the linen closet heading toward Marlu's room. I am on all fours chasing that dag blasted cricket with the jar which was was making a thump thump on the carpet. My tushie is facing our bedroom,

the thump thump woke Bryan up he is giggling 'cause he knows what I'm doing. Thankful dang cricket was trapped, Marlu did not wake up and that is my hunting story...

Flash back of Madi January 31, 2016 with her version of what she would have done if she had been

living with us 53 years ago.

Feline Friday

Nature Friday 

When it comes to all things creepy and crawly things, I Madison D. Cat, am a great hunter 

I will hunt and hunt all the day/night long. HOWEVER, ONCE I HAVE LOCATED SAID CREEPY CRAWLY BUG, I have done my job.  I always YES always, 

holler to the top of my lungs...Mom come and get it while giggling, 'cause I know Mom hates bugs, and Mom would have then hollered to the top of her lungs for Dad neither of us ladies do B U G S.

As you can see from the below info on crickets domestic cats often eat crickets. I can assure a Madison D. Cat would never ever NO never stoop so low as to eat a cricket.

Why do crickets make noise at night?

In most cricket species, the males chirp to attract a female. And they mostly sing at night to help avoid predators. But Karim Vahed says some studies have shown that predators like domestic house cats follow the chirps of the crickets to find and eat them!
