After The Week We've Had...

At least it's Fri-YAY!

🙀 😹 🙀

9/11/01

On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger airplanes, and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. 

Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York City. 

A third plane hit the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. 

The passengers and crew of the fourth plane fought back, and the plane was downed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

2,996 casualties.

Our collective world changed that day, and we continue to feel the fallout.

Warm, loving thoughts to the families of those murdered, and to those who survived.

Unlimited amounts of thankfulness for those who searched, saved, protected, and helped.

It's time to end all hostilities, and to live in peace.

Every country, every civilization, every diaspora, every religion.

Results

While moving furniture the other day, two more of Henry's spring toys were revealed.

Previous spring toy posts: 9/5/25: Bleep

8/31/25: Where?

But at any given time, one or more of them are missing.

Below is a count taken over a few days:

Henry, doesn't get what all the fuss is about.

The realization that it wasn't Henry hiding his toys, but rather we have too much stuff around, has led me to begin a re-org and rearrange project.

It won't happen overnight, Henry...sorry, but finding places for some stuff is a lot harder than it seems for humans.

One rule of thumb: if it's covered in dust, you don't need it anymore.

Versions

It's Twozday!

Manny and Chili Bruce have migrated to the corner beddy in the parlor, as the overnight temps have fallen here.

The multifaceted snuggling positions have me fascinated.

The Hubby hopes that my constant pic-taking doesn't disturb the sleepers, but seriously, as if cats would EVER not get enough sleep!

😹 💤 😹

Trekkers Par-Tay!

September 8 is Star Trek Day!

A few sillies for your amusement on this momentous anniversary:

😹😹😹

The Original Series will always be my favorite.

"To boldly go where no one has gone before"

P.S. If you enjoy spoofs, may I suggest Galaxy Quest, made in 1999 and stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman. ❤️

Nowhere near as silly as 1987's Spaceballs, which skewers every outer space TV or movie, starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, and Mel Brooks.

Some more spacey films that I think are a hoot:

Mars Attacks!, 1996, with Jack Nicholson, Annette Bening, and Pierce Brosnan.

What Planet Are You From?, 2000, with Annette Bening, Gary Shandling, and Ben Kingsley.

Paul, 2011, with Simon Pegg, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Batemen, and I adore this film! ❤️

Worthy Purchase

September 7 is National Buy a Book Day!

No such thing as too many books.

You just need more shelves.

Need I add that many of our fellow bloggers are published authors, and their fine writing is worth a purchase.

Or give editions away as gifts to friends, family, or donate to your library to be placed on their loan shelves.

Writers have to write, and it's really nice for them to get some funds in return, no?

📚 ❤️ 📚

Book It

September 6 is National Read A Book Day!

Go ahead, read a book today!

You can say you have to, since it's a holiday.

Highly recommend a cup of tea, and a cat in the lap while reading.

Before you do, however, here's an artified image of Chili Bruce for Caturday.

Bleep

Read here about frustrations as Henry's spring toys disappeared.

Well, I figured out their hiding location!

Yep, that's one of Henry's litterboxes...which is oval-shaped and sits in a corner.

There are sneaky voids that SOMEONE didn't look in previously!

Henry: "Oh boy!  I'm gonna hide all of these AGAIN!"

Me: "VICTORY!  I know where they disappear to!"

Henry: "Um...can you count, Lady?  Where are the other three...hmmm?"

Me: "Bleepity bleeping BLEEP", as I get out the flashlight to search some more.

😹😹😹

Spicy

Again, must remark on how much I adore the humor found on social media.

Here's a few sillies that made me laugh; hope you do too.

😹😹😹

P.S. Not a fan of pumpkin pie or of pumpkin spice, and I wouldn't know a latte if one snuck up and bit me!

I LURV toasted pumpkin seeds, however.

Where?

 Where did the spring toys go?

Henry chases them all over Henryville, and makes a racket on the wood floors.

Then, it's quiet.

I find Henry sitting patiently, with no spring toy in sight.

Where did they go?

I look under the furniture, behind the mirror, and in the closet.

No springs.

Henry knows where they are, but he won't say.

Pic taken when I knew where the red spring was, at least.

The Hubby howls with laughter when I mention that my searching has been in vain.

At least he could try to look too!

Hugging

It's Caturday!

Da Boyz are snuggly cute, then I used Prisma to give the pic some color.

❤️ Twenty-One ❤️

August 29, 2004 was the day we brought littermates Angel and Chuck into our home.

Image from their 1st Gotachversary.

Angel, so easy to photograph due to her pink, white, and black coloring.

Chuck, originally named Chocolate because we thought his fur was dark brown.

What a pair!

Angel and Chuck led us on our first journey on the Cat Distribution System.

And look where we are now.

Sending kisses and belly snuggles to you two at The Rainbow Bridge; our starter cats.

Forever in our hearts.

❤️ 💕 ❤️ 💕 ❤️ 💕

1984, A Very Good Year

The Detroit Tigers are the Major League Baseball team in Metro-Detroit, Michigan.

Tigers are cats, yes?

Then I'm going to go all fangirl on you, as I had the supreme opportunity to be in the presence of the 1984 World Series winning catcher for our team, Lance Parrish.

He and his co-author Tom Gage spoke to a crowd of adoring fans about their book "The Enchanted Season" at our local library.

In 1984, my family and friends were crazy about the Detroit Tigers, who had the best start of any team in baseball history, and battled their way to win the World Series.

Lance Parrish was a favorite of every female in town, as he was tall, handsome, and built like a god.

In person in August, 2025, he is gregarious, amusing, happy to talk to his fans, and the crowd gave the love right back and more.

He's still looking pretty good!

Another box ticked on my life's 'to-do' list!

Am so very thankful for the opportunity to relive that wonderful year, to chat with other old-time Tiger enthusiasts, put eyes on an idol of mine, and it's a pretty good book also.
