An Angel

A week ago today the mom had been told the bad news that she knew was coming. The brother so much loved by her and has been in her life always had left to go to heaven. She says that this has changed forever who she is. She also has said that having an older brother was the best. He was the one person as you grew up that you knew was always there for you offering love and protection.

Our hearts are so heavy and  the sadness comes and goes like waves crashing on the shore. My uncle will live on forever in our memories and never be far from our thoughts. We miss him so much already.

Mom & Her Brother~Ca. 1949

"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." Author unknown.

Peace be with you now mom's dear brother and forever be free of the limitations that life had sometimes put upon you. Someday we will meet again, this I know. We will take care of the mom just as you had growing up together, loving and protection her.

Much love from your family.

Time Out

You cannot imagine to my surprise when I found out that I was the Mardi Gras Queen! I am overwhelmed.

SUNday

Ah, SUNday again. I usually enjoy this day but today I am busy doing a lot of thinking . . .

. . . I just don't understand the white stuff on the ground. It comes and it goes. I don't know where it goes when it leaves and I don't know where it comes from when it arrives. As soon as the ground is rid of the snow then back it comes . . . I haven't a clue . . . as long as it stays outside then I guess I will be OK with that . . . and another thing that I am thinking about . . . the pink collar, did you notice? Yep, the mom put me in the pink collar . . .

. . . the mom thinks I look so cute in it but since I haven't been wearing it in awhile it is now bothering me . . . she mumbles something about me getting used to it. I'll show her getting used to it. I will find a way to get this thing off of me. Let me see how to go about this . . .

. . yawn . . . sorry guess I have worn myself out and will need to catch some zzzzzs. I will just have to wait until the mom takes off the collar for me . . . that isn't such a bad deal as she will rub and scratch all around where the collar was. So I guess until then I will . . . yawn . . . zzzzzz.

Wordless Wednesday

Caturday Saying

 was working in my office this morning thinking about what I would  post for today and decided that I wanted to do something special for my mommie. She is such a wonderful mommie and loves me to bunches. I thought long and hard then I knew I would do a CATurday saying and had the purrrfect one just for her. So here you go mom~this post is dedicated to you!

If You're Not Going To Make A Snort Noise,

Why Even Laugh?

Purrrformance Review

Time to sit down with the mom and once again do the yearly purrrformance review. This was going to be a tricky one as many times she hasn't worked for me as much as I would have wanted . . .

. . . but I thought about the past year and realized that she wasn't so bad after all. Many things on the plus side came into consideration with this report . . .

Write Up Of Review by Gracie

Over the last year there were many times that I wanted you to work for me more but you had other things that took you away from your duties of my blog. There were posts missed, friends to visit, contests to be entered, and other blogging duties. Then I had to consider the many house of work you put in working on my blog; the new header, new wallpaper at my place, making headers for my friends, helping with the VSquillion Shelter, answering the emails, and helping with the duties that go along with Head Auctioneer at the CB Official Auction. Taking that into consideration and averaging out the slack times with the you work for me times I have decided to give you a B+. This means you have improvement in some areas which we have discussed and you have agreed to address these issues. I am giving you a grade as that makes sense as the dad here is a professor and the mom, you a retired teacher, so you will understand the grading system better. You fall between High (four paws) and Medium (two paws). So I guess that gives you a three paws which is a High- or a Medium+

This ends the Purrrformance Review of 2011

A New Favorite

I have a new favorite spot to catch some zzzzzs and it is so fantastic that I have to share it with you. It is just too good not to share the information!

If you have a thingie in your house that looks like this it is called a register, well, you just have to get as close to it as you can. If you wait awhile warm air comes out and makes you feel so cozy and sleepy. The warm air stays on a long time if it is really cold outside.

I highly recommend this as a must do. Now if I may excuse myself I must get back to some heavy snoozing.

A Contest

Busgy & Gracie Are Hosting A Photo Contest

Bugsy and Gracie are hosting a Love Photo Contest to help their mommie raise much needed $$$$ for their vet bills. They have been ill for quite awhile and the $$$$ is mounting up. Head over to their place and check out the rules and support them in their funraising efforts if you can.

KC and I will be hosting an auction for them starting February 21 and running for two weeks. There will be lots of items on the block and something for everyone.

If you could tell all your friends about the contest maybe we could all pull together and help these two fine furrie friends in need of a lot of help.
