Hi AMY!

See, BOB, I came! :o)

LOVE THE KITTY HAIKU!

[JustAmy]

"I'm sure he has many more poems in him."

He must be good for one or two. :)

[JustAmy]

"So, how many do you have now, three dogs and a kitten?"

We had four dogs but I was forced to take Junior and Charley to the SPCA. I know .... I hate thinking about it even a month later. :(

In exchange for Junior and Charley, we brought Simone home for Marissa. She is thrilled with the the kitty but she was upset that we no longer had Junior and Charley.

I need to get pictures of Simone; haven't taken any yet.

We now have Millie, Max, Simone and Dorothy. Dorothy??? She is a goldfish. We have had her for about six months. I need to clean her aquarium sometime today or tomorrow.

Don't ask me why I have such a menagerie; I guess that I'm an old softie.

Good morning, Gail!

Happy Wednesday.
I hope you haven't been visited by either Katrina or Rita.

Good morning, Mayor.

"Before you follow a leader,
Check his beliefs, and pray;
Be sure he's following Jesus,
And that he knows the way."

Thank your for bringing us the Message every morning.

Hope you are having a Wonderful Wednesday.

"Those West Coast folks sure keep some odd hours, don't they?"

:)

Since closing the Place, I no longer wake up at 4:00am to post a thread.

It's great to know that you East Coasters don't need as much rest as us on the left coast. :)

Good morning, Silverleaf.
I am so happy that you came by today.
I've missed Amy's Place and the friends that I made there.

I hope you are having a Wonderful Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Dutchess.
Great to see you this morning.

I've put Simone in the garage for awhile.
Her bed, food and water are there.

This morning, she almost knocked me on my rear-end.
She attacked my feet as I walked by.
I was forced to do the Texas 5-step to keep from stepping on her.
She is a playful one and Missy adores her. :)

Tweety's two "big kids" are here from Arizona for a week. Here is a pix of them with their Dad

Hi Madi! !!!
Hi Sam !!!

[JustAmy]

One of the nicest beds I know
Isn't a bed of soft white snow.
Isn't a bed of cool green grass
After the noisy mowers pass.
Isn't a bed of yellow hay
Making me itch for half a day
But autumn leaves in a pile that high,
Deep and smelling like fall and dry.
That's the bed where I like to lie
And watch the flutters of Fall go by.

The Turtle

The turtle can't go out to play,
Or sell his house or rent it;
For when he moves,
His house moves too
And nothing can prevent it.

When have a turtle at my school.
His name is speedy.
We let him go outside and walk in the lawn sometime.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for borrowing the poem to share with us, Dolly.

Wonderful talent, HiramKnight. Thank you for allowing Dolly steal borrow it.

Is this it??? (Took me FOREVER to find the thread it was on - so don't tell me this isn't it, LOL).....

BAD PENNY'S CASTLE

I don't care if it's "Paper Dress Day".
This castle is mine. Now go away!
I claimed it when Mom brought the groceries in.
To make it my own is not a sin.
Its wide open mouth beckoned as it fell on the floor.
Big smooth and brown and makes the nicest sound
When I drag my claws along the floor and all around.
Watching the world go by through its wide rigid door.
As I curl up in the back with a contented grin.
If you get too close. I might scratch your shin.
