Thank you, Amy - it's going great so far - my daughter is up from Florida - we're having rib eyes on the grill tonite. Hope things are good with you!

Yep ... it’s for you. Hope you are having a lovely day!

Yummmmy ..... the rib eyes on the grill sound delicious.

Fresno State is playing Reno this afternoon. After the game, we are going out to dinner. I don’t know yet where everyone wants to go. Have to vote later. :)

Sounds like fun.

CAT'S BEDTIME PRAYER
~Author Unknown~

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray this cushy life to keep.

I pray for toys that look like mice,

and sofa cushions, soft and nice.

For grocery bags where I can hide,

just like a tiger, crouched inside!

I pray for gourmet Kitty snacks,

and someone nice to scratch my back.

For window sills all warm and bright,

for shadows to explore at night.

I pray I'll always stay real cool,

and keep the secret feline rule.

To NEVER tell a human that...

the world is really ruled by CATS!

Sincerely the Cat!

[Mama_Bear]

Awww...what a sweet curled up kitty and a cute poem to go with it. Gave me the warm fuzzies!

[Mama_Bear]

Great base bumper-stickers!

I am cold. I have the heat on, but it still feels cold. We're in California, and it's way too early in the season to feel this cold! It's going to be a long winter. I WANT SUMMER back!

I think I will go climb under a blanket on the sofa and see if I can find anything worth watching on TV. TTYL!

[jaycee]

Thanks, Lori...thought I would get in one post in before the day was done. I had to take a rest today..!

[jaycee]

I WANT SUMMER back!

I am definitely a summer person....period!

[Mama_Bear]

I know. The older I get, the longer and colder the winters get. I am ready to move to the tropics. :-(

I am glad you rested today. Hope it makes tomorrow a better day for you. :-)

[MEG33]

Awwww This is so precious!

[MEG33]

“I WANT SUMMER back!”
I still haven’t turned on the heat..I think a cold front is coming.
I’m for warm weather..and we’ve had warm days and cool nights lately.. delicious..
Sad to see it go.

[MEG33]

Pleasant dreams.
I'll see you tomorrow.
