Hey there, LUV.
Not a good day for one of the kittehs. Took her to the vet and she’s still there. Got to have a little dental work in the morning, and since I don’t DO mornings, she stayed overnight. That way, she’s there when they’re ready for her. Better than me driving her there tomorrow in a sleep-deprived stupor. LOL!
Ok, ok, now ya gotta tell us what you pampered yourself with today. Inquiring minds - at least this one - want to know! :-)

Yes Florida is full of them, especially Northern Florida. Pensacola is the home of Naval Aviation plus a really great museum. Eglin is the world’s largest AFB. Tyndall is a really active base too.
I do remember when I worked in Tidewater, Virginia. There was a total of 54 military bases in the area. I remember when they would bring an aircraft carrier up the James river to the shipyard. It would just about take up the whole river.

Written on Our Hearts
February 16, 2016
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
Deuteronomy 6:6
In my neighborhood, religious inscriptions abound--on plaques, walls, doorposts, commercial vehicles, and even as registered names of businesses. By the Grace of God reads an inscription on a mini-bus; God's Divine Favor Bookshop adorns a business signboard. The other day I couldn't help smiling at this one on a Mercedes Benz: Keep Off--Angels on Guard!
But religious inscriptions, whether on wall plaques, jewelry, or T-shirts, are not a reliable indicator of a person's love for God. It's not the words on the outside that count but the truth we carry on the inside that reveals our desire to be changed by God.
I recall a program sponsored by a local ministry that distributed cards with Bible verses written on both sides that helped people memorize God's Word. Such a practice is in keeping with the instructions Moses gave the Israelites when he told them to write the commandments of God "on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates" (Deut. 6:9). We are to treasure God's Word in our hearts (v. 6), to impress it on our children, and to talk about it "when [we] walk along the road, when [we] lie down and when [we] get up" (v. 7).
May our faith be real and our commitment true, so we can love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength (v. 5).
Father, may Your words be more than nice sayings to us. May they be written on our hearts so that we will love You and others.
When God's Word is hidden in our heart, His ways will become our ways.
Today's passage begins with three verses of instruction about the benefits of keeping the commands of the Lord. Moses begins verse 4 with "Hear, O Israel." Hear doesn't mean "listen"; it means "understand" or "know." The Israelites were to "know" the Lord--and so are we.

Howdy, PRO.
Like I just told LUV a sec ago, not a good one for Sabrina. I guess it’s been a good Monday for the rest since they DIDN’T go to the vet. LOL!
Hey, could we bum a little of your weather down here? I almost needed to break out a boat to take the cat to the vet. We’re swamped. And a little chilly.

I had to have my kitty have dental work a couple of years ago. He was 16 at the time. Lost him in July 2015 then lost my female kitty in December. Dental work on kitties can be challenging because they have to put them under. Hope your kitty is doing good.

Howdy, Kathy.
Warmer but not as much as we’d like. That comes this weekend, they SAY.
Definitely more rain. Hasn’t stopped since last night but it’s almost out of here. The whole area’s a swamp.
But by golly, it washed all that horrid salt away. It was nice to go outside and not taste salt on my lips for a change.
Has it rained up there or are your streets still dry and drivable?

Good to see you hear again, MLL.
Sabrina should be fine after her surgery tomorrow. The vet just has to smooth down a jagged spot in her jaw bone where a couple of teeth were removed last month. The jag broke through the gum and made her mouth tender. She’s still young enough to handle the anesthesia ok.
We have a LOT of cats (is THAT an understatement. lol) and are fortunate to have an awesome vet.
And we’ve lost a lot of cats over the years so I can sympathize with the loss of yours. Your one kitty had a good long life, though, and that’s great. Was your female also an older cat?

You got it! Witch kitteh. Had a Samantha (as in Stevens) a few years ago too.
Ok, I’m gonna cross all appendages for luck so nothing comes up this weekend to spoil your plans with your daughter. Hope it helps! :-)
