 Dear Auntie HiC, 

I can’t believe it’s been a YEAR since the Cat Distribution System delivered me to my new home on the hill.


Happy Gotcha Day to ME❣️




Mom says I’ve added much joy, laughter & love to our family. 
I can’t imagine my life without them❣️



❤️ Cali
Dearest sweet Cali Girl you have added joy, laughter and love to my days and to our blog.
Watching you grow into such a loving feline daughter, sibling and niece has been an honor.   We can't forget you are Boss of da house too.
Lovingly your Auntie HiC

True story


Excuse Me Madam

My name is Owen D. Owl

I am a male air mail carrier

faster than greased lightning 

I'm wise and careful

I heard your mail delivery was hit or miss

MOSTLY MISS

This piece is past due

It is the thank you note from Will to you.

Owen D. Owl to you I say I am most thankful and this is why.

 Thankful Thursday hosted

Back story

Thankful Thursday 

Will is the oldest child of two young folks I meet when they enrolled in NCSU at age 18.  I watched their relationship blossom. I attended their wedding and the baby showers for both their children. Will is a delightful young man I've known for all of his 18 years. He recently graduated from high school with honors. They live 3 or 4 miles from us.
Will's thank you note to us had quite the journeyInformed mail service I receive via email told me it on the way.  It finally arrived.   I have never received a piece of mail with two post marks.  First one was in the standard place at the top by the stamp, second one was on the bottom under our address.
His Mom told many of the thank you notes he sent out are being returned with
"incorrect address" in fact the addresses are CORRECT.  They have to put each one in a new envelope and another stamp.  
Will is pursuing a college degree in sports medicine and nutrition and hopes to become a Physical Therapist

Unleased pet store in the mall where we walk.

I often see this pair unlocking the gate, finally got my camera out in time to snap.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE DOG'S TAIL is a peach color...

The mall where we walk had an event featuring 

The Art of Dr. Seuss: Collection

MARCH IS BEYOND ME.


March 2018 Dr Seuss Post

My name is Madi
but I am not catty!
When my din din is not ready,
sometimes I get 'maddie'
I never wear booties
but sometime I wear hatties!
We have reached the end of this
madi-ness.

Dear Auntie HiC,
As I settled down for my 2:35 nap, the mice were gathered beside me. As I fell asleep I thought I heard giggles.




Where did they go!?!😹
