Tuesday Trepidation

  Mama, maybe just shorten your expressions of concern, non? Okay, it’s okay, don’t read this blog. Read the fun, positive ramblings on my Substack instead or other uplifting blogs that help (even) me through the day, thank you, bloggers. But it is very hard for me to see our country abandon our allies around the world, abandon the brave and democratic soldiers and inhabitants of Ukraine who have fought for three years against Russia...

Menu For Monday

Posted by on Feb 24, 2025 in Uncategorized | 16 comments

  I guess our spark today is that when you find yourself worrying and stressed by what is going on right now in the world (!), one of the best ways to keep those feelings at bay for a brief moment is to do something that you love to do…sing, read, paint, putter, garden, hug your kitties(!), doggies, sheep, piggies, whatever you hug (hubby? partner? friend?), and keep helpful and calm thoughts in your head …

Sunday Smiley

Well, I love to smile but why does my tongue always get in the way? Oh, mince, I tried again and the same thing happened. Maybe I need a smile coach…maybe if I saw other kitties’smiles, I could learn to keep my tongue in! Oh, well, a smile is a smile is a smile, and these are mine. ***** Much needed smiles...

Through A Glass Brightly

Hey, maybe I could be in a little kitty church somewhere! Or a sunny kitchen. This is Lunapic’s stained glass effect. ************** Out of sheer desperation we must begin with this. You never have to read it. 😻😻😻 We love looking through Lunapic for a fun piece of Art Effects for Kitties, haha. We did find the one above but many of you find so many others. Where to look? Mama thinks that maybe...

Filling In

Well, mama had to fill in today, although an awful lot of things trigger nostalgia for me…sigh….like my SOFA SPOT where I tried to look cute for a snuggle…. 1. I hope to never taste __certain medicines__ again. 2. No matter how hard I try, I can’t ___change worrying about our country and its insane leader and the very dangerous Musk-e-teers. 3. Italy is a ___country that (always) triggers nostalgia for me. 4. I wish...

Thanks A-Plenty

The Vance Dance got no partners, that’s for sure. But mostly we are thankful for our bloggers and friends about whom...

Silent Surmise

Well, silence right now is not golden at all. But a day of decisions and discovery and digging (for me, anyway) is a pretty cool day. Mais oui, I could use that spading fork, but it’s not HALF as effective as my dirt-diggers. I think mama might have bigger tomatoes if she plants where I dig, haha. 🇺🇸 Munich peace...

A Tuesday Think

I’m thinkin’ I’ll plant catnip right here when mama’s not around….who’s to know? Then I’ll hightail it back to cloud land.  Maybe add a few radishes and some cilantro. I loved cilatro to spice up my diet paté. Maybe just a little plain old St Augustine grass to roll around in….hmmm. I have to go check the mulch. Have a productive and thoughtful Tuesday. Oui, we have mulch and some rather nice winter lavender and...

Merci on Monday

  Relaxing on my tangerine cloud…keeping stillness inside of me. First, we hope your week is full of surprises and good weather and hopeful spring events like birdies chirping and little crocuses appearing in gardens, that sort of thing. Mama’s bulbs are pushing up their stems already so she is very pleased. Our spark for today is this. At least it’s a good way to begin to deal with this chaos created by a...

Sunday Sanity

  Well there appears to be none in the oval office. Sanity, that is. We are hoping that none of our readers is a farmer or needing drugs or medical research for possible cures for their afflictions or confidence that our nuclear secrets remain so and on and on and on. Many states who voted for Trump are beginnign to feel the impact of his cuts and refusal to obey laws that have protected our...
