What On Earth?

22 April is World Earth Day, and we all want Mother Earth to remain happy, healthy, and okay with the stupid, polluting, and violent homo sapiens sapiens that live here, as well as all of the other species of flora and fauna.

Afterall, as far as we know, Earth is the only planet with cats!

Library Workers Day

23-29 April, 2023

"Celebrate National Library Week with the theme "There's More to the Story." Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story."

24 April is Library Workers Day

We appreciate those who feed our reading habits!

📚Are library workers really book (and DVD, board game, local history) pushers?!?🙀

Oh, the joy!

Heck, yeah!

Somewhere, a library worker hit upon something terrific!

You know who your are, see, I added a cat picture.

😹😹😹

The Feeling of Home

🇺🇸Happy Independence Day, America!🇺🇸

Let's reflect upon what got us here:

War

We fought the country that financed us, so we could govern ourselves.

Today, the United States has service people all over the globe, stationed for our own defense, and to aid others.

Want to help those who are far from home?  Please consider:

 Combat Cookies

"Combat Cookies is a veteran owned and operated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We bake and ship fresh from the oven cookies to U.S. military members who are deployed overseas. Being away from the comforts of home can be emotionally challenging. Sending cookies is one way to bring the feeling of home to a deployed military member.

We aren't here to sugarcoat the military...oh wait, yes we are!"

Such a unique way to support our troops.

Free-Roaming

Freedom!

Loretta decided it was time to meet the family, and she set herself free this morning before breakfast...by sneaking around my feet and chasing Chuck up the stairs.  Hubby and I are remaining as neutral as we can, as each cat meets each other and assesses the new situation.  Of course, Chuck just wants to eat up three bowls of food now.  Angel is more standoffish, but no blows have been struck, just some hissing and the tail-down creep.  Loretta has easily learned how to us the cat flaps that we've installed between several rooms, and it's fun to see her floofy tail disappear around a bend.  We are in the middle of a snow storm also, so looks like the family will be inside today, although I'm sure I'll find a way to get out there for a bit of shopping this afternoon.
