Now, This is Relaxation

 💗

Kitties, Mom had places softened with throws, blankies, multi-folded sheets running along the couch top...soft beddies and tents that were soft...plus all the beds in the house.  But this place you see where I am sunpuddling...my fave.  The other favorite is in the big picture window looking out onto the deck.  Both places are here in the living room, opposite ends.  Best sunpuddles in TN.  I must have just waked up so I could ask Mom to stop petting and kissing for a while.  I need my naps! 

I loved it here too.  I wouldn't stay a very long time, but I did rest well there several times a day.  I was in a catloaf here.  That was one of my favorite ways to just sit and rest.  I can keep a good eye on kitchen goings on. 

If mom sat in her now not- as- new chair, (that I started shredding) I'd come over to lay on her lap.  After she gathered me up for loud & lots of noisy smooches.  Then, I laid in her lap, got petted and fell asleep. 

Kitties, Mom is pretty positive I have been to see her at least three times.  I know she told you about it.   Who's to say I didn't.  Stuff doesn't move on its own volition! Hasta have a reason.  Right?  Right! 

xx See you tomorrow Kitties and Woofies.  xx

WOW! Good Night Nurse!!

 Kitties!  Woofies!!

It was the best of times, it sure got to be the worst of times.  Jiminey Crickets!  Mom got up a bit earlier and thank goodness I was on heavenly business and not at home (even if not seen). 

Two fellers came over and they did not leave from 10 am till 7pm.  Working the entire time.  The first not Handy Man left a lot undone but took money for it anyway saying he'd be back.  He never did and ripped up some of Mommy's carpet too.  

She saw a recommendation on Next Door and called the guy mentioned.  He came, gave an estimate and with he exception on one side of the kitchen door failing to be painted  (he forgot and Mom was busy) everything else got done!!  WHAT a difference.  But so glad I wasn't there to have to hear all the loud noises.  

The awful hole in the wall where the first guy ripped off (it needed to go) an ancient thermostat and left an eyesore is fixed..the hall area where the air return is for the HVAC has been cleaned out wonderfully (it was embarrassingly badly filthy) The louvered doors with no knobs were washed and painted and new knobs.. Office room door painted both sides, now match every door in the house, AND he weather- tightened and showed me how he was doing it, my new front door.  Fixed the dead bolts space to lock, so it would be in much deeper and more securely.  The work on fixing the new door took one man's entire time he was here.  The helper did all the rest.  More stuff, but Me and Mom said enough. 

Wanna see some?  Just a little.

Both sides painted

(This is an old house, mind...) 

Spackled hole etc. in wall.  He added a door knob smacker into-er

That odd looking item to the right is a rheostat switch for our track lighting.  Dimmer and brightener. Installed a long time ago. 

    Where mom accumulate more $$$  they will take out the wainscoting.                                                      

Halloween!

 Mommy got on her own blog and spoke of all the candy SHE would love to eat and eat candy.  She won't though.  She knows she would make a total pig of herself and keep going till it was all eaten. 

That's me, but Mom is useless and can't recall the filter! Bless her heart.  I see my one eyebrow fell down in a scary angle. 

Brovvers back yard.  He hopes his begonias are still standing. 

Donkey misses his Mom.

Starting to turn...my backyard.  well, 1 tree of it. 

Busy Day!

 Kitties!  Mom has been a blur around here doing the yucky jobs...like  really doing a super good cleaning around the litterbox area in the bathroom.  Maybe she wishes if it's super duper clean, it'll never gather all the black furs that hid in crannies.  Of course they won't--- unless I bust thru the Veil and roll around in there.  

Going to call in the carpet cleaners before much longer.  Mom said before I flew away that she was waiting on the not-so-handy man to finish the job.  Since he never did, mom has someone else coming out Thursday to take a look.  Just four things to do..none that are much trouble at all.  THEN she calls the carpet cleaner!  Good ol' Stanley Steamer. Gotta a lotta ghost stains all over from horking up these past several years.  You have to look hard to see a few but they are there.  More than a few, too. 

She's out there daily hovering over the just pruned back rose bushes all across the entire front of the house except for where the two Gardenias are, and the Fall Blooming Camellia is.  Favorite Brovver will bring Mom some very baby gardenias growing ground level at his garden... from his whopper of Gardenia bushes that bloom like hers did until the 12 inches of snow on top of the ice storm killed just about everything; and she had to start over  two years ago.   She'll cover the Camellia, the  Gardenias too when the temp drops even a little below freezing. 

Me...I'm having a blast every day with my Sisfur Admiral, Kozmo,  and all the other furriends who are here.  

Went over to most of your houses!  OH! I want to show you Pickles and Romeo yesterday!  Their Dad sent this.

Pickles and Romeo

Told you I live in a forested area.  I wasn't kidding.  Mom and I have a huge variety of wildlife coming through the trees and into the yard, walking through the yard and crossing the street to walk mind you!! down the sidewalk.

Want to See the Hens?

I was invited next door yesterday, and I think I spent a good hour + out there with the Silky breed hens.  They were still outside of their little home as it wasn't sunset yet.  They go home by themselves.  Never any chase or calling involved.  Their voices are so low!  It always surprises me.  The owner, the family Dad (they have a pretty little four year old daughter) told me that they got the Ladies as eggs that were near hatching.  They had the hen house ready, and brought home the eggs and hatched them in the house.  They were in the house in a child's swimming pool for a little while after hatching too and then, they got to go to their home.  I will show you what the eggs look like.  They are small.  Pretty too.  

It's quite a few pics.  Hope you don't mind.  The white ones are the ones with the feather britches!  Even their leg- into- feet skin sprouts many feathers, and they really do look as though they pulled on a pair of feather britches each day!  They are very friendly.  They let their human Dad pick them up and hold them.   They allowed ME to hold them too.  

Oh, and the mom of the two gingers got out of the hospital again last night.  So the two boys have Mom and Dad to love on them. I am not feeding them from this morning till ???

Silky breed

See the feathers growing out from her legs?

Didn't capture the iridescence.

Here's the ladies minus a few

Aren't those pretty?  Small...

Isn't it the Truth!

 

Kitties, Woofies, Mom went out and fed the boys this morning.  Both greeted her at the door again, and boy got petting side by side.  Those guys ate great this morning.  They did yesterday too.  Does a Mom good.  She hollers "Mommy's Home" each time she shows up out of habit when she did that here at home on her arrivals .  Sometimes  when she goes to feed the boys, she'll holler..."Step -Mommy's home!" seconds following that  wrong first announcement ..just to keep the record straight.  Wouldn't want them to think Mom was trying to spirit them away.  She thought the handle of the big scooper was going to break they filled the huge box so well before she got back here  this morning.  Good gosh! Heavy. 

Always right behind me doing her typing for her while she dictated. 

Little girl's PTU edge can be seen and the little pink mat Patty gave her...all the way from New Jersey!

See you at your house in-between chores here and elsewhere.  I'l letting mom go out to eat tonight at Aubreys.  Any kitty wanna go too?   
  

Tell You What, Kitties! Woofies!

Kitties!!  Tell you what!  This being an Angel thing has mom all upset, me, the only sad part is seeing how she feels.  She's gotten better at it, but she looks around and sees the house looking as though she doesn't have a little loved one.  I have rubbed against her leg as she sat reading in the light of one lamp above her a few weeks ago...you should have seen that smile Kitties!  She lowered her book to her lap with a grin, ready to pick me to snuggle before we went to bed.  But  her smile went away.  I wasn't there she thought.  I was.  

 Muscle memory still keeps her extremely careful when she makes her way in the dark through the house in the mornings  to avoid scores of toys, AND  possible  (better believe it!) land mines set up on the carpet set to  SUPRISE !!! SUPRISE!!! her as she makes her way through to the the lamps and opening mini blinds.  Hard rollie balls, pieces of cold feeling (ewww) vinyl toys, especially flatter ones.  Kernels of RC Kidney food carried thither and yon as surprises for her!  Don't get Mom started on crunchy litter pieces scattered during the night as I exit my commodious litter box!  After our breakfasts, she always swept up and shook my rug there! 

No rubber mats in the house now with my spare water bowls.  No litter pieces in our bed.  BUT she did see some of my black furs on sheets she had just changed {without my help!!} that appeared from a blankie we have...they had been stuck to the blankie.  That was a loving surprise! 💓

Anyhoo, I'll keep surprising Mom with sweet stuffs.  I might even mess up the pristine house! 

Mom is cat sitting again  for two precious boys, but maybe not for long this time.  Someone on Mom's blog replied to Mom  that she thought Mom was fostering.  That her heart couldn't handle that.  Neither could mom's probably, but I wouldn't count her out! 

Mom took this early last year when she spoke of our trackable carpet.
