Kitties! I don't know how this Anaconda got in...HELP!! Mom went to get the broom so she can hit him with the stick! But will it be too late? That's my DONKEY!!! He almost has Donkey and his tongue is reaching out to assess his tenderness. HELP! Maybe she oughtta get something more lethal. HURRY Mom! OH NO! Mom slipped on a banana peel...I will swoop in and save Donkey myself. I can DO IT! I learned tactical skills from mom and I am approaching from the Anaconda's back section...I'll leap over him and snatch my Donkey away! Hold my Temptations!

Brovver Gone
Kitties!!! Brovver went back home this morning He lives in Charlotte NC. We enjoyed every moment. Now it was hotter than you-know-where from early Saturday afternoon last week till midday almost Tuesday this week. We really suffered some heat here in the house. It got up to 86 and very humid in the house. I didn't sleep with mom as the big box fan which hardly did any good was too loud and Brovver had one on his room too...same thing, They hauled them into the living room when they each got up and I still had to deal with all that noise!! I was hot too. Those three days and nights were awful. BUT because there was no reason to do a lot of things besides installing the new one...it all got done so quickly!!! About 2 hours. Took up old one- put in new.
WHEW! Now Mom is cleaning house. Guess I should let her up from the computer. She has work to do. Next is swabbing out the entire bathroom, and then, vacuuming, and swabbing out the KITCHEN too.
If you want to help, come on over and get her started in the kitchen by sweeping before she mops.

My Mother's Day Present for Mom
Look Kitties! It took all my saving in my little treasure box but my Mommy is worth it! I can start saving again for Christmas. She LOVED it. I hope you enjoy it too. She's concerned about leaving it out in the elements but I insisted.
Brovver is here for the week. We are roasting alive in here...85 degrees in the house. New AC will finally get put in tomorrow after three days of sweating! Brovver went and bought two big box fans one for him and one for mom and me to sleep with. But I was too afraid of the noise and windage to stay in bed. I got up...perched on her chest and hopped down not to return. New AC will be here tomorrow morning.
Sending headbonks to everyone. XXOO I think Mom is sending them too. (Mine are softer and sweet though)

The Decision
Kitties, it's close to half and half on the vote, so I am going to make Mom make both desserts. She already has the cinnamon crunch made.
Guess what? Mom was in my room tromping around doing her low impact aerobics. She commenced to sweating. Not terribly but definitely, she was "endampened." When she was finished and actually wiped her brow and upper lip...she went into the hallway to lower the temperature. Nothing happened. She tried several more times, nothing. The fan was spinning out there on the HVAC but..nothing coming thru.
Mom called the company, though it is off hours, to see about someone coming out. It was mid 80's in here. Someone did come...Mom left a message and said she had the yearly maintainence squared away for $199.00 back in March. When the tech came out he found the blower motor was dead in the water. Gave up the ghost. Dead dead dead. The cost to replace that motor was shocking. Thousands, and would have to be ordered Monday anyway. I said as I had been given an estimate for a new one, ad not being willing to invest in a new motor to a 15 yr. old HVAC..and she was getting a new one... he texted the owner, who said in that event, they would be out Tuesday And no change for this visit since a change was imminent... which would have been just over $350.00 to come out and tella fella what is wrong. Whew. The guy, mom told her DIL, was cuter than a bug in a rug! She said she woulda scooped him up if he wasn't the same age as all her sons. MEOW.
Brovver will be here mid afternoon tomorrow. He has two desserts for the next several days and Mom will make the lemon cake too. If you, any of you, want to hire on as one of her sons, at least you'll eat well.
Mom said it's past the mid 80's in here. She has an old old fan she'll use for the next two nights. Ceiling fan in her room was dangerous-- so the electrician took it down. Rest of the house has ceiling fans.
This is a blog Hop.

Oh Noes......
Guys, I commenced sneezing last night. 'Nuff sed. I hope it doesn't bloom into a full blown cold. I have had three since being here all these years and all three were from Vet offices. Misery totally for several weeks with running eyes, running noses, and constant sneezing. (in her face all night.) Seems like there is nothing that can be done for cats. If there is, tell my Mom..please.
Did the weekly Fill-Ins over at Auntie Ellen's house this morning. Those were fun. Mom was remembering two other family members, Robin and Hopping John during them.
Just saying hello this morning. It is a beautiful day. Soon as Mom finally leaves the computer and gets dressed for pity sake, she said she's headed out to take a bouquet of roses from the front of the house here, to her oldest. It's his birthday and he aways loved walking the yard all around the house enjoying the flowers and bird activity. So, Mom will take him some flowers today. I bonded with him as he was here when I first came home. He was visiting for the weekend.usually. (Home cooking!! Laundry done for him!!!) Let's get bizzy. I have pestering to do, eating and getting brushies!
