Broke it In.

 Kitties!  I horked like no body's business last night.  I was in my chair right after having supper.  Mom was in her chair too.  She had a little commercially prepared cupcake on the paper plate and had just taken a bite.  I started horking so as mom said on facebook, it was her or me.  She jumped up, ran over and held the plate under my chin as I filled it up.  On the cake of course.  She said it was worth it to save the furniture.  But she had to follow me all over the house a good ten minutes with another paper plate and try to keep me away form under chairs and behind furniture where I can hork in peace.  She got two more smaller amounts.  She heard one in the middle of the night.  

When she woke and turned on the light- there it was at the threshhold of the bedroom and hallway.  So she got to clean that one up.  

Mom's been out to the football field (no, not playing) the past 5 days walking the track.  Finally got the "git up and go" to do it.  AND I saw her eating two hot dogs yesterday.  She loves them but never eats them.  But couldn't withstand the doing without any longer and bought some.  She likes mustard and relish and onion on it.  If there was any chili, she'd have had that with onions.  She's still crawling compared to her pace before life happened. But she'll get better at it quickly.  

Mom is about  to invite a close friend over for breakfast at night  (For supper) Fried potatoes and onions, scrambled eggs, biscuits and preserves.  She said if she wasn't so full of hot dogs, her mouf would be waterin'. 

Always Havta Wait

 Mommy thought she was headed over the Mountains this weekend- but she was wrong.  The friend who is going with her is in TX of all places till next Monday!  And Brovver said he will be more available Veteran's Day anyway as he won't be teaching.  So, Nov. 11 it is.  IF there is NO snow in the Mountains. OR here,  anywhere over the Moutains or there where he is. 

 No one will remember, but mommy had just got to that favorite brovvers house a few years ago...heard the evening news and weather after they all had dinner. The weather man showed big time snow coming into Charlotte that very evening,  and then, over the mountains to me, here!  So mom had to put her bag back into her vehicle, make a sandwich, and hurry back. She never even got to spend the night. It snowed like a sunnafagun there after she left...all the way over the mountains right behind her --and here where we live.  INCHES of it.  

 Then there was the awful time she was coming back from there in mid April and there was a heavy snow shower in the mountains. We all of us were blinded pretty much because of how heavy the snow was.  Mom said she remembers when she dropped to 10 mph she was so afraid someone would come smacking into her.  But the others were going slowly too. Thank goodness. That lasted 60 or so miles. 

My pink cats are not lighting after the first two nights.  The batteries are fresh...it is turned on.  Don't  know what happened.  Unless they don't like the cold. 

Getting ready to watch Mom clean the kitchen floor and then crawl around in the tub cleaning it too.  Glad I don't have to. OH! OH! MOm wanted you each to know she woke at 0220 in the night and immediately noticed I had both my arms wrapped around her upper arm.  She was wearing a short sleeved nightie.  She told me she thought how warm my headie and throat were, and my arms too.  She went right back to sleep.  Speaking of arms...here's mine. 

Over the Mountains and Through the Woods

 To other favorite brovver's  house we go.  Mom said we will call other favorite brovver- favorite brovver from now on.  We will head off to favorite brovvers place way over the mountains within a week we think, and this time taking mom's best friend as well.  Because of all the construction and NO rest areas available, mom refused to go until now.  They have those necessary areas open again after two years!  The traffic backups WILL still be on-going.  The total time of this awful inconvenience was extimated four years.  Two are gone, so two to go.  

Wanna see the pink cats?  They lit up after two days of sun.  I thought the glass was frosted so that they would glow softly instead but I thought wrong.  You can't miss frosted glass but Mom & I managed to!  They are bright.  This was in the pitch dark so the camera did it's best (iPhone) but made them red looking...not the pink they are). 

Anyway, now Mom needs to get her hair combed and her face on.  I am so glad I am naturally glamerous and have no need of anything else.  Just my elegant Tuxie furs. So she said she coudn't help me too long this morning.  

I do have a new pet sitter but her mom is coming with her as she is not used to tending a pet.  Hopefully she and mom can bring the girl along to being able to be alone.  If not, mom will be looking for another sitter...probably will anyway. 

Mom feels guilty leaving me soon.  

Wet!

 Kitties, my whole house has had its carpet cleaned.  And boy, is it wet or what!  

Before starting...

Getting ready to start

VOILA! 

Surprise Surprise!

 Kitties!  Woofies, look what mom and I got yesterday.  Mom's niece Arlene, by  mom's (former) marriage was thinking of Mom and sent it.  💗 We did not know it was coming, and we were so surprised when we opened it.  Pink Kitties!  And they will be alight at night as there is a solar panel above them.  When someone taller than mom comes, her would like that to be more secure.  Her am a sawed off stump, so it was not the best when her got on a 3 step stool to attach it to the overhang, as she was still just short...*snort, heeeee* when she climbed up  to attach it.  Biiiiiiigggg stretch. 

Tonight they should be visible as it is very sunny.  

Tomorrow the carpet cleaners come.  Oh my.  Mommy is worried about me. Hope they don't suck me up in their machines.   Mommy said this'll be worth every cent...and trust me, it's a LOT of cents!

Feline Friday

 I'm a feline (and how!) and it's Friday!  So here I am in yesterday's sunpuddle glory, baking to a turn (I did turn right after) and ready for smooching.  I'm always ready for those.  

In the morning when I get Mom up, she always leans over and smooches me between my earsies.  I wait for it...expect it and lower my head a bit in anticipation. As soon as I get my good morning kissie, I will turn and jump off the bed.  Oh.  I should have said I will turn and go to the end of the bed, step onto my steps and walk down to the floor.

Mom called the carpet cleaners and she and I will have wet feet for at least three days.  That's how long ot takes to get the carpet dry.  But boy, it needs cleaning so much.  Me and all my horking, spills and stains for family while here..it's getting embarrassing she said. Getting, Mom?  It IS embarrassing. 

 

Good Meowning!

 Here I am.  Other favorite Brother from NC was here and sneaked up on me to take this picture while I settled on mom's side of the bed...which was hardly flattering to me!  He will pay for that next time he comes to see me.  (If I remember). 

Admiral's First Post in Her Life With Mom

https://admiral-hestorb.blogspot.com/2009/03/

She thought you might enjoy it.  Mom did not know of anyone who blogged then,  what....14 years ago from her frst post. And she never heard of the CB.  That took a long time.  A few people happened on her and eventually someone said CB.  Mom looked it up and voila!  New furriends! 

Here is Hopping John who came before Admiral.  

The Girl Who Came Before...

 

Probably 2010 or so...Peekaboo

Gor there before Mommy did.  On her side, too. 

Out of the Deeps

 Kitties!  Mom moved my toy basket from the corner in my room to along the wall.  You might have thought there was a new basket of toys!  I took all but maybe 6 or so, out and they occupied my whole floor.  I brought some into the living room too, to keep Donkey and Mousies and Duckies company as well.   But look who I unearthed! 

 I haven't seen him for a long time because he was on the bottom of everyone else!  But I brought him out and re-introduced him to the rest of the family- and he has never flown so high or so far, since.   I have flung him halfway across the room Kitties! And showed my pantaloons and my back pink and black toe pads by SCAMPERING and hopping across the room AFTER him...retrieving him, and flinging him across the room again.   I put him IN the bed that night!  IN it.  With Mom and me.  MOm said that scampering was a tonic to her.  MY scampering, not hers...she quit scampering recently but I bet she will start again. You oughtta see her when she does! (she said "no")!
