Feline Friday

 

I found this google image and had to share it. Those are some interesting feline names. My favorite, always and forever is Nathaniel Pawthorne. Feline Friday

A cool cat, a refreshing cold drink and some sun shades. It is one way to beat the heat.

Ellen and Lorianne co host this fun blog hop. Ellen came up with the first two and Lorianne the other two. Thanks ladies. 

1. If I could trade places  with someone for a day,  I would trade with no one . I like me ok and I would love to have the traits my grandmother Cecilia had. I am not sure I could have lived her life. But I loved her dearly.

2. I would like to own a  bigger closet some day.

3. I can't stand  the heat and allergies this time of year. It is rneally bad this year.

4.Phamily is my favorite thing about this time of year. Anytime of the year actually.

My morning ran away from me. Banking and groceries and such. I spent lots of time creating a Father;s Day playlist for my sweet husband. Three hours later I looked at the clock, Here I am but I get into my music and time flies away from me.

 

 

These are the Brothers Robinson II. Their dad  Jeremy and his younger brother Nick are the  Brothers Robinson I,  although their dad Avery was the "original" Brothers Robinson with older brother Mike (RIP) and John.  We have not see John since 2016  . We lost Mike in 2015. I am grateful my sweet husband has some nice photo memories with his brothers and of course, his lone sister Lucy too.

A google find. Sweet poetry.

This snapshot of my father-in-law Carl is my husband's favorite photo. He has it framed and it sits on his nightstand.  Oh how I miss him and his ornery sense of humor. He would celebrate a birthday on June 20th.

 So I will say Happy Heavenly Birthday and Father's Day to him today. He is the second guy next to the two guys chatting on your right.  Oh the stories he would tell. But never about war and he was near Pearl Harbor in a submarine when the attack happened. He worked as a guard at the CFandI Steel Corp. My dad worked in the rail mill as a head roller. They worked so hard to provide for their phamilies.

My father-in-law drove a Dodge truck like this one. I would love to be able to afford to purchase this truck and a truck like my dad's 69 Chevy truck.  I found this photo at google images

I will return tomorrow with my stories of dad's in my life. Have a beautiful evening.

The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature. ~Antoine-François, Abbé Prévost d'Exiles

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 Thankful Thursday

This cat is something else! He has taken over my Minky blankets. You have never felt anything so soft and sweet. I can't sleep without them and I guess now, neither can he!  I suppose as long as he is not ornery I will allow him this luxury. I am thankful for him. He sure warms my feet on cold nights but he is smart to find a cool bed with this heat we are having. He likes to go where it is extra cold. We keep the a/c on low at night as the temp falls about 20-30 degrees which is not very much with a high of 102 expected today. 

Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Ellen came up with the first two and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two. The linky stays open until Wednesday night.

1. If I could trade places with someone for a day, I would trade with ________________________.

2. I would like to own a __________________ some day.

3. I can’t stand _________ this time of the year.

4. _________ is my favorite thing about this time of the year.

Tomorrow I will show you my answers.

 

RANDOM THINGS with Feline Friday, Friendly Friday Fill In's and Pink Saturday

 

I will always love baseball. 

I did share a Wordless Wednesday photo of the Atlanta Braves stadium I found at Pinterest. It was in the glory days of baseball before all these restrictions. 

It is hard to be true to our Colorado Rockies when their greedy owners and management sell off players. We will be following the St. Louis Cardinals as well since they gave Noland Arenado our third baseball to them, We still love Charlie Blackmon and  Trevor Story but we know Trevor's days are numbers. It is a sad business buying and selling people like chattel.

Ellen and Lorianne  co host the Friendly Fill In;s. They each select two questions. Here they are:

1. I never have time to finish ___________.

2. My _________can __________.

3. __________is a cause that is dear to my heart.

4. At this very moment, I ____________.

Here are my answers:

1. I never have time to finish reading all the books I have stacked up.

2. My grandkids can never be naughty or ornery, they are too adorable.

3. Ronald McDonald House is a cause that is dear to my heart.

4. At this very moment, I was watching Leave it to Beaver reruns with my honey on T.V.

Have you ever had a Black and White soda? I miss the days of drugstore counters that served up different sodas. Here is the recipe for this one:

5 ingredients

Condiments

• 3/4 cup Chocolate syrup

Baking & Spices

• 1 can Whipped cream in

Drinks

• 4 cups Carbonated water

Dairy

• 1 cup Milk

Frozen

• 2 2/3 cups 8 scoops chocolate ice cream

When I get to have this fun drink I like to use Pepsi products and Club Soda. There are a variety of ways to make this yummy treat. The ingredients in the recipe here will serve 4 people. I would love to find some vintage soda glasses. I probably have some in my Princess House collection. They use to make the best hand blown glassware. I sure miss those days.

This is an older photo of my ornery boy Mister Kitty. But he was so sweet and content here. He is very photogenic, he is just hard to catch and capture. Please visit Feline Friday

Here is a Pink Drink to celebrate Pink Saturday Coconut milk and White CranStrawberry with fresh berries to share with a pink drink loving friend or phamily.

 

7 ingredients

Produce

• 3 cup Ocean spray white cranberry strawberry, Juice
• 3 Strawberries, large

Canned Goods

• 1 cups Silk original coconut milk or silk unsweetened almond/coconut milk

Condiments

• 1/3 cup Simple syrup

I think one cup of sugar is way too much to add to this drink. I would add it only to taste.  The recipe may be off as I know simple sryup is one cup of water and one cup of sugar. The

berries will give it the flavor with the Coconut milk.  You can always add Whipped Cream.

Sweet Dreams to all and enjoy a wonderful weekend. 

Baking & Spices

• 1 cup Sugar

Frozen

• 1 Ice cubes

Liquids

• 1 cup Water
