Something cometh...

We have a surprise coming soon.

Some things have to fall into place first, so stay tuned.

We are beyond thankful for the mighty generosity of the Universe.

Sunflower Surprise!

It's PO'Monday, yet my surprise occurred on Saturday.

Cheryl English, business owner, potter, friend, fellow cat lover, and Advanced Master Gardener, stopped by for a quick perusal of The Eastside Cats' gardens and yard, and a yummy meal at a local restaurant.

Before we climbed into the car to find lunch, Cheryl surprised me with a package.

A gift, from my dear dear friend ET, made to honor Celestial Paddy O'Malley.

Note the PO'M's eyes and fur.

Ignore the human who couldn't keep her lips off of the cat.

This lovely sunflower artwork, made in the colors of PO'M!

Eyeglasses are for scale...it's HUGE!

Close up so you can see the colors.

On the back, PO'M's name and a star, to denote that he's in Heaven.

Thank you, ET!

Thank you, Cheryl!

Visit Cheryl's shop at Black Cat Pottery.

The Hubby and I haven't yet found the proper location for this beauty; we may hang it on a pole in the garden, or attach it to the house nearest to where Celestial Paddy O'Malley hung out.

The bestest kind of surprise EVER!

😻💕😻💗😻

Postcard: Important Motorcade

A postcard from my recent trip to University of Chicago, in Illinois.

Day 4: Witnessing Vice President Kamala Harris's motorcade in downtown Chicago.

Could be a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

Well...there were two limousines with American flags, so the highest-ranked woman in the country just drove past us...but WHAT THE HEY!

Cool as heck; we were jazzed.

Despite current political insanity in the United States political system, I am extremely grateful for this unexpected sighting.

Wow! Wednesday

Cat Present Surprise!

A surprise package arrived from my dear aunt.  Cat stuff!  An adorable 18-month cat yoga calendar, a cat-covered scarf (yes!...fist pump!), and a children's book about a chicken who finds herself in the big city.  Beautiful Yetta has a talent though; she can chase off cats who are trying to snack on her new-found bird friends.

Total surprise, and the best kind of surprise!  A thank you note (with requisite cat photo on it) was mailed immediately.

😺😸😺

WeeHeeHee Wednesday

Surprise card from co-worker

A couple of weeks ago, we had pretty much the entire global management team for my company visiting my office for four straight days.  I arrived early to meet the caterer, and stayed late to assist the sixty or so travelers.  As tiring as it was, I hung out with some really fascinating people, and it doesn't hurt to rub elbows with my bosses bosses, right?

The executive assistant for the company president sent me this gorgeous kitty card, with a thank you for my hard work.  She had noticed that my office is coated in cat images, statues, framed art and calendars!  She has her own cat too.

How delightful to receive this card, which I have pinned up next to the rest of my cat artwork.  Makes me all giddy to get lovely cat-themed items from out of the blue!

P.S. Please send healing thoughts for Phoebe, at 15 And Meowing.

A Wooly Problem

Ick!

Chucky loves to carry my wooly socks around the house.  Now that the temperatures have fallen some, I actually wear them.  Imagine my surprise when I stepped in...something...but the wooly soaked it all up!

Gross, right?

No worries, Chucky...I've got seven more pairs of woolies for your enjoyment, while this pair is in the laundry!

"Don't mess with MY woolies, woman!"
