Happy Fursday friends. It’s a pleasant 65F (18C) 🌞 and looking like a comfortable June day here in the woodlands of MO.
#Today after my workout I’m beginning my house painting in the cathouse. All of the catwalks, ladders and rails will be refreshed with a purple coat of paint. The walls were scrubbed and look pretty decent so it’s not too hefty of an endeavor. The tricky part is confining the 3 kitties in the back room during this process. Dommie is such a bully, he might need to be crated.

The Dude ran like the wind from the cat box to the back of the recliner with so much force he almost knocked it over. He then look at me and said “what?” 😼

Hours ago in the cat house these two best buddies lay on my lap all evening long until my legs go numb. ❤️

Blurry pic of same two kitties with LG grooming Cato.
LG sleeps soundly nestled in Cato’s chest while Cato is awake, but with sleepy eyes, both on my lap. Dommie is out of frame laying to the right of me.

Yesterday after work I drove to East #finland with a rental car. (That was the first time I drove this year.) There was a car accident on the road, and a traffic jam. We got heavy rain.. I got lost once. Once the navigator said the road was blocked but it wasn't. But I did it and #today I saw my #parents. 😍 #AlzheimersSucks I haven't told you but my mother has #dementia now as well. #suomimastodon #roadtrip

I rented a car with an automatic transmission. It's a hybrid.
I noticed my father's soft toys were kissing
I made "poor knights" for my mother.. A sweet bun is soaked in milk and fried on a pan with butter. If it's eaten with a jam, the knight is poor. If you also have whipped cream, it's rich. Lol

The Dude lapping out of his personal glass mug of fresh water on this dreary Tuesday here in the woodlands of MO.

If the storms aren’t severe my husband and I are going out to dinner to celebrate our 31 yr anniversary of our first date. It’s actually June 5 but he has an appointment near the city today. We’ve always celebrated the 1st date anniversary since we lived in sin for 13yrs before marrying. 😜

Have a pleasant Tuesday. 🤗

Today is my 21st wedding anniversary. On our first wedding anniversary, we were pretty broke, so hubs made me homemade coupons for massages, but he spelled it wrong, so I got a handful of printed out coupons for 1 Hour of Messages. So, every year since I get something like this:

Anniversary Update, hubs gave me this, and I'm crying:

This is a long list of reasons why hubs loves me and it won't all fit in this!

Happy Friday friends!
I spent the morning outside with a cup of tea enjoying the lovely 60°F (15°C) 🌞 weather. Dude missed his lap time 😾so I’ll have to make it up to him after my workout.
This morning we said goodbye to friends visiting from afar, it’s sad they live such a long distance away. We’ll miss their funny stories, lively spirits & just communicating alongside good people with similar mindsets.❤️
No plans so far #today, but that may change.
The weekend is in sight! 🙌🏼

Oh, Dairy Pics from yesterday! I've never seen such happy cows, and the cheese was sooo good!

This is several wedges of cheese in different sizes and shapes on a slab of granite. They are Camembert Havarti, Edam, Gouda, Raclette, Jersey Jack, and Garlic Jack
A weathered shed with an old red truck in front of it, there is a windmill and green rolling hills in the background and a dog walking on a gravel path in the foreground
This is the cow pasture, you can see cows grazing under trees in the distance and big puffy white clouds in the sky

Today, ta-da! Everyone was looking forward to this day for my son Drew- so important he have a success going into the pool for the first time this year. He surprised us all and did more physical activity at one time than ever, since October 7 when he was hospitalized with serious seizures. That day he became unable to use his walker anymore. He’s been weak and weaker. He barely can help himself lift up to stand and can’t hold his weight standing. Yet, look at him go in the water today!

Anyway, sometimes my brain creates really sad scenarios, and I play out my reactions to these scenarios, and it makes me really upset, but it's like I'm trying to prepare myself for every possibility even though it's both impossible and destructive.

To add on to my Monday morning ☹️ Dommie door dashed me for the first time since he’s been an inside kitty in 2020. He was out under the house for less than 3 minutes and came to the door with a huge tail. 🤭

Morning Friends. Maybe the good morning will arrive later #today. I woke up terrorized from a mass shooting nightmare. I immediately checked my phone next to the bed for the news. These nightmares have happened before, usually they are hospital dreams. The worst nightmare was in the morning of Sept 11. I won’t describe the carnage. We were camping in CO so when I woke up I figured it was from the high elevations. But, no.😢

I have high hopes this Monday will improve, it has too, I’m retired! 😁😘

Happy Friday friends!
It’s party cloudy, 55F (13C) this morning and reaching 70F (21C) by this afternoon. I think a convertible ride is in our future, & blow the stink off.😝 Heading to the Loading Dock in Illinois. It’s a beautiful drive, mostly slow cruising & crossing the river with 2 ferries. The wkd is crazy there so we avoid that at all costs.
My hubbys lower back issues have been relieved with 4 treatments of acupuncture and PT. So the long drive #today will not be a problem.👏🏼
😘🤗

Happy #TongueOutTuesday 😛
Dude left my lap briefly for his morning hydration.
I slept over 8 hrs according to my sleep study! So nice to be home & in my own bed.
I have a heartwarming story about my weekend. The 5 of us friends were going to dinner in one SUV on Sat evening. The back right tire made a pop sound. We safely pulled over. We could see a piece of metal embedded in the flat tire.
It wasn’t 10 minutes a young man pulled over and then another young man.
Cont…

Some kind of scraper made its way into our tire.

Happy Tuesday Masto friends.
This is the last health update on Little Guy. Yesterday he climbed the narrow steps to the window perch where he eats & sleeps on his heated bed. After his partial paralysis from blood clots he was unable to maneuver the steps. I tried to post a video of him trying & falling 2 wks ago, but it wouldn’t send. He is 100% mobile now, the clots have dissolved & he has no noticeable damage. His heart murmur & BP are managed with meds & the power of love! 💗
#Today #Cats

The same brown tabby cat eating breakfast on his window perch this morning. Yesterday he climbed the narrow ladder successfully, both of them, which he hadn’t been able to do. He has made a remarkable recovery in 2 weeks. Cato, an orange/white shorthair cat, his best buddy, is eating his breakfast on the floor below him with toys scattered nearby.

Good Tuesday morning! The sun is up and the clouds are few. I’m going out to run some errands soon, so I can enjoy the good weather when I return.

The hummingbirds are gradually coming in greater numbers. I love that they aren’t afraid of us being close by. If they want a drink from our feeders they don’t care if we’re standing nearby or not. Such tiny, fearless little creatures.

Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

On air with Chris Jansing and asked about Mr. David Pecker, Rachel Maddow answered, "Well, it's hard to get a handle on Mr. Pecker". Seriously. I love moments like this. I saw/heard it myself.
