It’s a cat vlog

This is a blog with a vlog embedded.

Just a short talk about my monster cat.

Car-E knows how to get my attention. He attacks my feet in the morning as I get out of bed. For him it’s PLAYTIME!

This attack comes after of hours sleeping peacefully by me in bed–though if I do happen to touch him at night Car-E immediately goes into play mode.

Such is life with my young cat.

A kitchen upgrade

My family still remembers this event. It was only the six of us working in the kitchen and it had nothing to do with food.

Good thing I wrote about it in my column. I was wondering when this happened and now my memory has been refreshed.

Russell’s a pumpkin, Becky a princess, Rob is the headless horseman and Rachel is the scarecrow

.

I wanted to show a photo of the wallpaper but I couldn’t find one of the kitchen except for this Halloween photo from 1982. It was 1984 when we pulled down all that wallpaper and revealed the yellow-painted walls underneath.

A little fun with Car-E

Yesterday, Car-E spent the morning knocking stuff off the table.

All my pens and pencils ended up on the floor, as did the cap of an empty medicine bottle. The bottle soon followed.

This crazy cat kept looking for anything he could knock to the floor. If he didn’t play with it himself, he sent things down for Sunny–that way he can get the dog in trouble. Sunny never takes things off the table our counter.

I trust Sunny.

I do not trust Car-E.

+Creativity questions

A lot of the times, I went wild with crafts. After spending money on supplies I would lose interest.

I still admire what my friends accomplish and yearn to do as well. That feeling often gets me into trouble.

These days most of my creativity stays focused on writing.

I have been cutting fabric for a project but I haven’t sewn anything yet. Will have to wait to see how that all works out.

Thanks for the laugh

I’m sharing a card today that was sent to me by Patti.

It’s a Shoebox card and made me laugh.

Maybe you need a laugh today, too.

Thanks, Patti. It’s always great getting real mail, especially a funny card.

This really fits Car-E. He’s always looking for exercise.
