Feline Friday and Friendly Fill-Ins! April 21, 2023

Friendly Fill-Ins!

Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins First two were done by Ellen of 15andmeowing 

and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the  second two !! 

Here are my fill-ins!

 1. I was pleased to hear that we might go to Daylight Savings Time all year round!

2. There should be a Neighbor Appreciation Day.

3. I have a lot of confidence in my ability to ignore annoying people. 
4. Patience is easier said than done.


Feline Friday!

Brought to us by MessyMimi!!! 


Here are the two darling kitties being 
fostered by good friends living nearby!
They went to the nearby Humane Society today

Remember to adopt kitties they deserve it!

Thankful Thursday! April 20, 2023


I am so thankful to be living with such
a talented man! He can do just about
anything! Last week he remodeled our
downstairs half bath and today he is working
on an oil painting for a good friend.
He is painting a very fun coffee shop
that we went to everyday in Loreto Baja Sur
in Mexico. We enjoyed delicious coffee drinks
and enjoyed meeting new friends every day!

of our adventure!  
Have a super happy day!

Awww Monday! April 17, 2023




I found this delightful cookbook at our local
Camas WA library! So far I have tried two
recipes and they are both delicious!



Today it is pouring rain so I figured I might as
well bake a few tasty delights!
Above is the recipe for the Blueberry Coffee cake. 


And here is the coffee cake before I cut it
up into nice sizes to share with our neighbors!!


But wait! I wasn't done....I also baked up a 
batch of our favorite Gingersnaps! 
Delicious! Especially with a glass of milk!


Here's the recipe from this years family calendar!
Enjoy and have fun everyday!
Thanks Sandee for Awww Monday!

Feline Friday April 14, 2023

I have posted before photos from our friends home
while they are hosting rescue cats and kittens. 
This week they are hosting a mother cat and her two
kittens- one is a male and the other a female.
They are all a bit skittish, especially the mother.
The first photo is of the mother and the female kitten.
The second photo is of the male kitten and he
 is a lot more adventurous as you can see!
The third and fourth photos are of our friends' little girl.
She is almost 9 months old and quite the cutie.
She is in the cat's room, but we are supervising while
I get some cute photos!
Many thanks to Mimi for hosting Feline Friday!!
