This was Colton's graduation from ihgh schoolin 2015. He is with Jeremy, Brittany and Addy. How did Addy grow up to be a teenager so fast? I love these memories.
I had to share Nick in his pink Ralph Lauren shirt from 2015. I just love his smile here. Nick had a tough end of 2020 and start of 2021. I am glad he is feeling so much better. That pneumonia kicked his butt. He fits into Pink Saturday perfectly so stop by and say hi to Beverly and all the Pinkies.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by.
Everyday there is much to be Thankful for. Thankful Thursday
So...you have the good life when you are allowed to take your nap on a Minky Couture blanket. I have not even had the opportunity to use this! These blankets are so soft and comfy. I have a smaller one that I like at night to help me fall asleep. This feline thinks he is the owner of this place he calls home! He says I should be thankful he is here! I think he may have been mad that I snapped his photo. He thinks he is too good to take a nice photo for me.
Here is my girl with Thor and Loki in 2018. They were so small. So thankful for them.
Rebekah should be a dog photographer. She captures the best photos and this is 2021. Still all best friends. Very thankful.
This is true of good canine and feline fur babies. Always thankful .

A snowstorm yesterday put me out of sorts. My neighbor stopped by, saying our tree was again touching the power line and possibly causing problems. Still waiting to hear from the power company. We did what we could without touching that live line but it is sad that service is nonexistent anymore. I know many trees were broken and falling yesterday . Fortunately Kristy, our neighbor has a pole saw with the rubber grounding so she will help us once the snow melts away.
We also had the solar people here Thursday. Of course, the big storm yesterday hindered the completion of the rewiring of the electrical work. Murphy's Law....it never tells a fib!
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:17-18)
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” (Psalm 32:7-8)
“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” (Psalm 9:9-10)
Murphy might be right but God never fails me.
Please join Feline Friday even though I am running so late. I feel exactly like this feline. Life is hard, my mother would tell me, PRAY harder! When days are difficult I sure miss my mom.
My answers:
1. I wish I knew how to play Solitaire. My mother and my auntie Ang sat opposite each other and spent many evenings playing Solitaire together. I would love to have a buddy to play with like they did.
2. If offered a free trip to space I would decline. I am not a fan of confined spaces . Claustrophobia hit me hard after my first neurosurgery.
3. Being with my loved ones is the most exciting thing in my life right now.
4. I could give a long lecture on the topic of " I will pass on this one". I like my life exactly the way it is. I don't need any validation from others on things I know . Too many differences of opinions in this world. No thank you!
I am a homebody, pure and simple. Not many places I am interested in visiting. There was a time I had a bucket list . The last time we traveled via airlines, I was totally turned off by the unprofessional attitudes of the attendants and the cheapness of the airlines for the outrageous prices they charge. If I had money to travel, I would have someone take the hubby and I all over the USA in a luxury motor home. I like my life but I still can dream.
When someone asks to meet for lunch, I am not interested in socializing . I use to love it. Now I love my privacy. I'm very happy with everything I Need right in front of my nose. Plus I am in a place where I want to eat healthier. I also have gotten very picky about who I see and where I go.
Have you ever outgrown people? I think sometime you see a different side of people and you both change too much to continue to the friendship. Today have two lifelong friends I will always keep in touch with. I had 6 friends who I lost since 2010 , three of them in 2010, including Laura, Mollye in 2014 and two of them, including Vivian in 2018. The sadness of their losses is only Laura, Mollye and Vivian really stayed true to me. We all change and realize we have nothing in common anymore. Life is hard, my mother would tell me to PRAY harder!
I did not mean to make this so long. I think often I write lots of things because they weigh on my mind and I like to write them out. I suppose I could be secretive and write inside a diary or journal but I have had high hopes for these blogs so I will do it, as the song says, "My Way".
The day I brought Mister Kitty home, he cried all the way home in the carrier. As he grew older he would stick his paw out of the carrier as if he were a prisoner going to his final destination. For a boy kitty he is terribly dramatic! He recently decided he would hog the bed. We have a battle of wits until one of us falls into a deep sleep. But I never really owned him. He was a gift. It cost more to set up his new carrier, bed, food and vet visit . But I never regretted it. As ornery as he can be he is still a gift.
The battle will begin shortly. He is being obnoxious. He hates the flash of the camera. But he hates the bright lights worse. Who is gonna win the battle?
