Thank you, Jaycee.
Millie and Max were grown when Mr Mittens came to live with us, as was he.
After a couple of months he went into the back yard with an 'I live here, too' attitude.
They tried to get him to run so they could chase him.
He would have none of that. Now they just ignore him.
I know when dogs and cats are raised together, they become playmates.
Nice to hear that your Red Hat Lunch went well.
I have two friends who belong and they always enjoy the monthly luncheons.
Have a beautiful Saturday and a perfect Sunday.

Thank you.
My software, PaintShop Pro, has some preset frames. I use them when I can and sometimes try to make them look a little different.
I like experimenting with the.
To: Lady Jag

LOL ... Thank you for that sweet bouquet, LadyJ!!
Purrfect for Caturday.
Hope you are having a relaxing Saturday and are looking forward to a perfect Sunday.

NNBob, your poem hit a ‘memory block’ in my brain, somehow. I kept thinking about your words - they seemed to echo up there in the ol’ gray matter - looking for that which was hiding.
Then it connected. Your poem reminded me of “Symposium” by Plato, that I had researched many years ago. (A google may make it more clear what I am talking about.)
~~~~quote from Plato, Each of us is but a symbolon of a man
and each is ever searching for the symbolon that will fit him (Symposium 191 D-E).~~~~
Blessings to you.

That is the truth! Son’s Cissy gets on desks, countertops and dressers looking for ‘toys’. I’ve have to put several things away.
To: ConorMacNessa
Wow .... that sound wonderful.
Have a great time and enjoy the evening.
To: ConorMacNessa
Any day is a good day to see four true patriots supporting our military.
Thank you for posting it “a day late.” Your graphic is perfect every day.
To: yorkie

Happy Saturday, Yorkie.
Good to see you today.
Seems I've been missing a lot of the thread this past couple of weeks.
Hope your Saturday is beautiful and your Sunday is Blessed.
Have a great weekend.

I like Tami Hoag also. Haven’t read Sandra Brown yet but plan to take a look. See you all soon.

I still remember two poems from my junior high school. “The Highway Man” and “Cleburne’s Banner.” The latter we memorized in the American History class.

Plato, huh?
I think I remember him. I was traveling through that area and met a few folks. We took shelter against a sudden rainstorm under a kind of rock overhang, building a fire to stay warm.
We spent the evening telling stories and making shadow puppets on the walls from the firelight.
I wondered what happened to that guy.

Last I saw him was at the Library, but he may be under the bridge at the interstate........

Offerings
Poets say that we are flowers,
Tossed in seeming disarray,
Peeking out from dirt-filled crannies,
Of gathered stones along the way.
Others claim they see a pattern,
Row on row of ordered ranks.
Either way the gentle flower,
Supplicates the sky with thanks.
Meanwhile in the hidden darkness,
From the shattered dirt we trod,
We build visions of our glory,
Which we offer up to God.

O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed
The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the spring shall blow
Her clarion o’er the dreaming earth.
- John Davies, 1570-1626, Ode to the West Wind.

Been a busy week for me and Saturday is a sight for sore eyes. However I don't guarantee I'll be looking at it all day. LOL!
