Awww Mondays - July 31, 2023

 

Happy Monday - Today I'm joining Awww Mondays.

 

We have some fun and exciting news to share.  Our family has grown!

 

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to our newest edition....

 

 Last Friday I spotted this little cutie on the Humane Society's website.  I called hubby and asked if we could adopt another cat.  He said, send pictures so I did. - Shortly after they opened we went down to see her.  The name they had given her was, Marion.  My late mother's first name was, Marian (with an "a") so we decided to change the spelling and give her the middle name of Alethe, since that was Mike's mothers first name.  She just passed away on July 8th.  We both thought of this individually and then told each other about it. (Kismet, or it was meant to be).

We decided to call her, Maky (pronounced, Mack-E) the MAK is for our moms and we added the "y" for the (e sound) as cats tend to come better when you call them if there is an e sound in their name.

She is fitting in quite well and surprisingly the other cats are adjusting to her without hardly any fuss at all.

Just look at that sweet little face.  We couldn't resist her.  So yes now we have, 8 cats again but the joy they bring us is worth it!

 

One last bit of cuteness and it's off to work on Monday chores for me.

Thanks for stopping by.
 

 

Awww Monday - August 8, 2022

 It's been awhile since I've joined in for Awww Mondays so I'm joining today (a day late) with a cute little post.

 

We took Red to the Splash Pad in July and I am finally getting around to sharing a few of the photos I took of her there.

 Several years ago I took Coleen when she was about 11 years old and the pad had just opened up. 

 

 So now it was time for her little sister to have some fun.  You'll see Coleen here as well.

 

 Lots of fun for sure.

Welcome!  Lets have a little fun today and join in with Awww Mondays  with Sandee over on Comedy Plus.

 

Today I'm sharing a few Halloween Left Over photos since they were taken yesterday.

 

 Hubby took me out to show me this display in a yard that he saw because he knew I would enjoy seeing it and he was right.  

Also along the way we spotted this display:

 My daughter and her family decided to dress up as characters from, Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood, The Big Bad Wolf, The Huntsman and Grandma.

Finally just Little Red Riding Hood by herself.  This is my granddaughter, Joelle who we called, (Red) for a nickname.  She made a cute, Little Red Riding Hood.

 

 

 

Awww Monday's - Little Red

 

Happy Monday - Joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for Awww Mondays.

 Some shots Grandma took of little Red (Joelle) this morning.  Mommy did her hair in a cute little top notch this morning.  She turned 9 months on the 1st of June.  She's crawling like crazy now & pulling herself up on the coffee/end tables etc...She's such a happy baby (most of the time) and is now getting top teeth to go with the 2 bottom teeth.

Awww Mondays - November 23, 2020

 Happy Monday (does anybody really say that?) - Anyway it's been a bit since I've posted so I thought I'd participate today in:

Awww Mondays (Comedy Plus)

 

So without further ado here is something to make you smile. Our little pumpkin, Joelle.

 

 Check out that hair do!  She's growing so fast.  

 

Awww Monday and a late Gottcha Day

If you are here for last Friday's WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE click on the link to be taken to that post.


Saturday was our sweet Speedy G's "Gottcha Day" and I just never got around to getting his pictures up and posted. (Shame on Me) but he had a wonderful day and got plenty of love and attention.  So today I'm sharing his photos for:

 Awww Mondays (Comedy Plus)

 

Our little "cutie" shortly after we got him.  What a difference a year makes:

 I love how he crosses his paws when he sits on the floor.

 I love that little triangle he has on his nose.

 I love how sweet he looks.

 You just want to pinch his cheeks.

Yeah this is why he grew so much!

Happy Gottcha Day (a little late) our sweet Speedy G.

Awww Monday and Sparks - March 26, 2018

 I know...once again it's been a few days between posts.  I sincerely hope everyone hasn't given up on me. 
Last week I celebrated my birthday (First Day of Spring) - It was actually sunny here and 60 some degrees that day so I was happy about that.

I had bowling that morning (League) and it was the "Roll-Off" between the winners of the first half & the winners of the second half.  My team won the first half.  I hate being in roll-off's, too much pressure.  Having to do it on your birthday isn't cool at all. 

Things were going pretty decent until a group of middle school kids showed up to bowl.  They were noisy and obnoxious and I lost my sense of concentration.  Then our lane broke down and we had to switch lanes, another thing that really annoys me.  So needless to say I didn't really enjoy the bowling and my team ended up only winning 1 game.  Still 2nd place over all isn't bad.

Anyway today I'm sharing with:

AWWW MONDAYS  and SPARKS

Good words of advice and ones that I am still struggling to follow but getting there.

 Have a great week & enjoy life!

Awww Monday's & Sparks - March 5, 2018

Well it's been a week or so since I've posted.  Lots going on here & not much time for blogging.  I hate not being able to comment on your blogs but sometimes "Life" happens.  I hope you all understand.

Joining in today for AWWW MONDAYS & SPARKS

Speedy G, Pepper & Caramel - All having fun with the bubbles.

Awww Mondays and Sparks - Feb. 12, 2018

Hello & Welcome! - It's a "chilly" day here today (winter has decided to return)  and the dreaded "s" word is expected this week.  What a bummer.

Oh well, that's life.

So today let's start off by joining in on AWWW MONDAYS and SPARKS - It's been a few weeks since I've had the chance to participate and it's nice to join in on the fun today.

                                    Speedy G knows how to do this.

Now if only I could just follow this advice! - Hope you all have a relaxing week and find the answers to your questions.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sparks 8 - Expectancy

Welcome! - Well Thanksgiving is offically in the books for 2017 - Quite a busy week here.  Thankfully "Turkey Day" was fairly calm and we had a nice meal with the family that was here. - Spent the day after getting the outside Christmas decorations put up.  Always fun to see all the pretty lights, even though it's a lot of work getting them up.

So this week for SPARKS I'm sharing...

You never know where your next miracle will come from.


Now for AWWW MONDAYS....

Ghost decided to play peek-a-boo from the top of the stairs this morning.  It made me smile & I hope it makes you smile too.

Have a great day!

Awww Monday & Sparks

Hello & Welcome - I'm so glad you stopped in and I hope you enjoy your visit.

First up for AWWW...MONDAYS hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus

 



Couldn't resist sharing this picture of Speedy G relaxing on the couch last night. - Cats can sure sleep in the weirdest positions.

Next up for SPARKS hosted by Annie at McGuffy's Reader

I received just such an act of thougtfulness & kindness this past week.  A package arrived in the mail from a good friend.  I was so not expecting anything from her and this is what I found inside the package.

It's one of her "Mixed Media" art pieces.  She does such an amazing job with her art, It's fun, colorful and whimsical. - Just for me she did a piece with a "cat" in it.  This one is titled:  Full Moon Sluething and it's just so cute.  I love it.  The picture doesn't do it justice as you can't see all the little details she adds to make her work so much fun. -  It meant a lot to me that she shared this art piece with me. 

I hope you will take time this week to do a Kindness for someone.  It can be someone you know or even someone you don't know.  It can be "random" or on purpose, just do it.  You never know who's live you will brighten by your thoughtfulness.
