Things Mom does just because....she is Mom

Mom crochets....(for those who are clueless that is done with one hook not two needles). Now this activity keeps her out of my fur and seems to make her happy, so it is ok fine with me!! Right about now, I should be doing a happy dance too. It is the duty of any self-respecting cat, to chase yarn and promptly see that the entire ball rolls all over creation turning it into the purrfect ball of  a tangled mess. I, Madi, hang my head in shame, as I admit, that I do not do this BUTT it is only because I can't.

My mom thought it would be clever to buy a yarn jar...

I'm sure there is proper name for it but to me it looks like a jar. One entire skein of yarn fits in it, there is a hole in the top to pull the yarn through thus making it completely paw proof and as you can see it is see through so I can see the yarn move all around in there but I cannot get to it.

 If you look closely at the above picture,you will see exactly what I think about the jar. I stuck my tongue out at it!!! 
See my little pink tongue?

This does not amuse me at all.  If there is someone out there who would enjoy having a cat to play with their yarn, please send your application to:

Just for you....yes YOU!!!

Please run on over to Mr. Pip's to see Madi and Rosie Part II X Paws

Thank you in advance Madi and Rosie

Happy Birthday to my favorite brother-in-law....Mr. G

Steeple (less) Sunday # 30: Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian

Mom and Dad went to Cary, NC (about 15 miles from home) to have lunch with

Dad's brother and and sister in law on November 13, 2010.  Thank goodness they had the camera with them. They found a beautiful church just around the corner from the cafe.

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend in North Carolina on November 13 and 14.

 Look at the glorious blue sky!!!!  Yes it was REALLY that color.

What a lovely Presbyterian Church.  It sits on a slight hill at the entrance to a residential area.

There is no steeple but it is a beautiful church.

Kirk of Kildaire was organized in 1979.  

Kirk can mean 'church' in general or the Church of Scotland in particular.

The Kirk is an informal name for Church of Scotland, the country's national Church

The Kirk of Scotland was in official use as the name of the Church of Scotland until the 17th century.

 The windows around the church are very unique and quite pretty.

Kirk of Kildaire has very little history of the church on their website, which states it is a private company categorized under the Presbyterian Church.

It sits up on a slight hill but this portion of the church was very tall.

Mom really liked this shot of the red maple against the light brick and gorgeous sky.

 Taken from across the parking looking down the side of the church.  As you can see, it goes back some distance and has a very interesting roof line.

Side view of a wall of very unusual windows.

Saturday: Cat's Bill of Rights #12

I have the right to assist in any changing of bed linens and to chase the phantom creatures that hide beneath the sheets.  Mom is off shopping....she asked me to make the bed....MOL
I think I'll take a nap first.

A big day on Saturday....

Happy Friday Furends!!! 

Turn your ears to the 'puter, I would like to tell you about a very exciting event....

I, Madi, am participating in Jazzi's 2nd Annual Christmas Gift Exchange.

We want to thank Jazzi and her Mom organizing this event again this year!!

Since all of us could not fit in Jazzi's house, she and her mom drew the names for us.

Tomorrow Mom is going to get all dolled up, get on her magic Mom-Ped to head for the mall to shop for the name Jazzi drew for us!! Are you ready to see who that is?

 REMINGTON
The most handsome Newfoundland in the USA

We were thrilled to see we have the name of our dear, sweet, adorable, gentle friend

Remington (and yes you do Steal our Hearts every time we see your handsome face).

Since we have never been Newfie shopping, Mom asked Ms. Beth, Rem's mom, for gift suggestions.

Ms. Beth said, 'Don't buy anything that will fit in Rem's mouth, he will swallow it.  Nothing with stuffing, he will destroy it then swallow it... other than that he will LOVE anything you send him'.  MOL Ms. Beth you are a funny lady!!! 

Mom said she would not come home until she has the purrfect gift for

Remington!!!
