Thank you Amy, for today’s celebration. Sorry I haven’t had time to celebrate because “I have been reading my dictionary all afternoon, and the subject keeps changing.”~~LOL~~!

[jaycee]

Great picture, Conor, and Tennyson’s poem is perfect! Thanks!

[Billie]

Ooooh, a REASON to shop! WhooHoo!!! Grabbing my plastic and heading out the door! :)

[Billie]

FUN holidays, Amy! Your Food Day and Boss Day graphics are hilarious!

[Billie]

Pretty lady - and another lovely Yeats poem.

[Billie]

You know what? I thought it looked like one of yours but as I went on down and started reading other's posts, I realized it was yours. When I answered to Amy, I checked all over that graphic for your name and didn't find it until I went back later and squinched my eyes and barely saw your name. I did notice the little music prompter looked like what you post. I guess there's just those days. (I shoulda had a V-8)(smack)! At least you knew how WELL I did like it! And I will just use your little bird to emphasize it!

LOL! I didn't even notice that the "Graphic by Billie" was missing. I had emailed the html text of the graphic and poem to Amy to save her some time, but she's always added the "Graphic by" Lori or me when she posts it. I am just devastated. LOL!

It is a lovely song and its great his request was carried out. I don’t think many of us can listen to that song without a tear or so. When I feel down and out at times, I do know that He is watching over me and isn’t it a wonderful feeling?

[jaycee]

I listened and it was so lovely. I have heard that Sandi Patti on quite a few religious songs. She is good.

[jaycee]

Now, Billie, thats always a tear-jerker...my,my! A favorite of mine too.

[jaycee]

If its a ‘swagger’, I have always loved it! And if its just ‘walkin’, its fine with me~~LOl~~

[jaycee]

I checked out your link....like you said “Ewwwwww”.

My husband liked frog legs. I saw him fry some one time and he called me over to tell me to watch the legs quiver. I did join him in eating them and I must tell you that they were very delicious. But its a food that I do not look for in the meat department BUT they have them all the time. If you need any, just let me know...LOL!

[jaycee]

Totally beautiful! Picture is grand, poetry lovely!

Totally beautiful! Picture is grand, poetry lovely!

[jaycee]

Cute, Luv....wish I could have celebrated Department Store Day. I majored in that in college! LOL~~

[jaycee]

And you are very funny, too! “just devastated”!! Sic’ her, little birdie!! (I love that little bird)

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place


Striped Kitten Haiku





Little striped Kitten
may think she's all grown up, but
she has far to go

Little striped Kitten
knows 'Why?" things must be done.
Not so strong on "How?"

Little striped Kitten
had deep blue eyes only days
ago. Things change

Little striped Kitten
sees so many things that are
bigger than she is

Little striped Kitten
see their tops. Then forms plans to
get from here to there

The Direct Approach
does not usually work.
Mother has said so

Little striped Kitten
has to learn 'Finesse' that will
help achieve great things

'Finesse' is one of
Mother's favorite subjects.
No one is better!

Little striped Kitten
will learn much while having so
many adventures

Little striped Kitten
will discover 'Gravity'
and its mysteries

'Gravity' is what
makes so many things fall when
they aren't supposed to

Little striped Kitten
will learn to look 'innocent'
when these things happen

Mother is raising
a well rounded daughter, who
will steal many hearts

One more thing....nothing to do with Amy’s but interesting!

MLB pushes back World Series Game 6 by 8 minutes

NEW YORK (AP)—Major League Baseball has agreed to push back the start time of a potential World Series Game 6 by eight minutes to allow Democrat Barack Obama to purchase a half-hour of air time on the Fox network.

Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said Thursday that the game time would now be set for 8:35 p.m.

The Obama presidential campaign said Oct. 9 that it had bought the 8-8:30 p.m slot on CBS and NBC.

“Fox will accommodate Senator Obama’s desire to communicate with voters in this long-form format,” network spokesman Lou D’Ermilio said in a statement. “We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for Fox to carry his program on Oct. 29. If requested, the network would be willing to make similar time available to Senator McCain’s campaign.”

The World Series has not gone to a sixth game since 2003.

The decision was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
