Mom

P L E A SE and T H A N K Y O U.....

Another lovely picture taken at Logan's Trading Center.....before it
got so hot...now all the pretty blooms are dead.

Note from MOM: In an attempt to stay one step ahead of your comments....
Yes the Subway Shops in NC do put condiments on your sandwich.....but we had a
BOGO (buy one get one) so the hubby and I bought a 12" with the works to share. We ordered a 12" to take home for Sunday lunch but we just got meat and veggies. We added our own condiments and Madi was there to snoopervise.

Note from Madi: Still Partying tonight with Mayzie and Puddles. What happens in South Carolina Stays in South Carolina.
I'm purry sure I'll need this little angel statue to watch over me.

Potluck Friday #3....

It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens.

What an appropriate quote for today's pictures.

Mom here: Today my pot runneth over with Joy!!!

I cannot tell you all how happy I was to find these three pictures of Madi and her sister Lucy. All three were taken on May 11, 2002, the day Madi's Dad and I adopted Madi and my brother-in-law adopted Lucy. We took both kitties to both our homes so they could play a little bit more before separating them. These are the only three pictures of Madi and Lucy together in the World...

Madi is on the left.

Madi and Lucy conquered the steps at our house in about 2 seconds...again Madi on the left.

Lucy had just a touch of gray in her fur but most of it was muted with hints of orange.

In this last picture, they are playing at Lucy's house. Our hope was to be able to take Madi or Lucy to the other's home when we were away.

This was the last picture of them playing 'nice'. Three weeks after this picture was taken, my brother-in-law brought Lucy to our house supposedly to stay for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, they did not remember each other. Madi became very territorial, first hint of her Divaness. I expect Lucy was a bit frightened by her new surroundings. Within about 20 minutes I was packing Lucy up to take her home. For the next 2 weeks I went to Lucy's house every day to take care of her.

Happy B-day Dear Andy

Note from grown up Madi: I'll be partying like a wildcat at all girl's party tonight. Check out
Mayzie and Puddles for details.

Thursday Things that flutter......

This is Madi practicing her 'I could care less, I can't be bothered look'.

Last weekend I saw lovely butterflies fluttering about everywherewhile visiting Blowing Rock, NC.
Madi and I decided today was the perfect day to post these pictures......
BECAUSE we received a Versatile butterfly award from

our new friends Mr. Pip and George the Lad!!!
Madi and I thank both Pip and George for their thoughtfulness and kind words.

We are supposed to tell you several things about ourselves.

1. Mom: I love butterflies so this is very special award. Many of you might remember on July 23rd my post was all about the butterfly purse my hubby made me many years ago.

2. Madi: Has selective hearing.....she can hear me open the Greenie bag all the way from the front bedroom on the 2nd floor. The kitchen is on the first floor in the back of the house; however; she cannot hear me say NO when she is right beside me and up to no good.
3. Mom and Madi: We ARE NOT opening a shop called Madison. It is a real shop in an area where I go for lunch every day. When I saw the sign, I just had to get a picture and add some fantasy to it. My hubby often wonders how I come up with our blog post. I tell him when I see I picture my mind just thinks of a 1,000 words to go with the picture.
4.Madi: Not only does she have two adorable black freckles on her nose...several of her pads on all four feet are black
5. Mom: Nearly every time I meet a new person the first thing out of my mouth is "you remind me of....". Yep everyone reminds me of someone....it is a curse HA!!!
6. Madi: I love my mom's cornbread. She gives me little itty bitty crumbs....it is so good and moist. I also love Chinese chow mein noodles. Mom is amazed by this because Milky-Way did not eat any human food.
7. Mom: My favorite beverage between 7am and 11am is black coffee yep I'm hard core, my favorite beverage after 11 am is sweet iced tea.
8. Madi: My favorite beverage 24/7 is fresh flowing cool water from my electric Petmate water fountain. Sometimes Mom catches me sitting in front of it with my chin on the edge??!!!
9. Mom: I have a very vivid imagination... one picture can create 1000 words in my mind. I have enjoyed writing my entire life. I subscribed to a youth magazine that had a section on pen pals. Throughout my teen years I had several pen pals, even one in Germany. I never met any of them; however, I learned a lot about them and their home. I guess this was blogging in the Stone Ages. Blogging has created an outlet for my love of words and photography.
TTFN, (who can tell me what these letters mean and what child's book they come from?
No prizes just the satisfaction of getting it right!!! MOL

Wordless Wednesday: On top of the news

Coming soon.......

Thanks to my friends Sammy and Andy at Meowsville for sharing this picture.

You've seen it before;however, I thought it was appropriate for today's announcement.

I, MADI,

am pleased to announce that I have decided to become a career girl. I will be opening my first boutique called 'MADISON' . For those of you who don't know Madison is my full name....

I'm considering asking Sammy, Andy and their mom if they would like to place some of their lovely hats on display in my display windows.

The other day Mom stopped by to check on the progress and take some pictures.

(If you look closely in both of these pictures of my store front, you will once again see Mom's reflection and Goldie aka Mom's wheels.)

and here she is again right under the word 'value'. I see demerits are in line for Mr. Signmaker. There is a misspelled word...we all know

'perfect' should be spelled 'purrfect'.

I've been interviewing different bands to play at the opening of the boutique in late summer.
I decided to hire 'Cat Banjo', they also own the little jewelry shop next door.

Keep watching the news for the date of my grand opening party.....
