We will be away for a few days

Mom here. We will be away for the rest of the week. My Mom answered the Lords call today and went home to join my Dad. She had been sick in January but had improved. Wednesday morning after breakfast she and my sister were joking and laughing. Then Mom sat up and informed my sister that she was going. She passed peacefully holding my sister and brother-in-laws hands. She would have been 89 in one month.

I am forever grateful for my sister. She has dedicated the last couple of years to our mother. She lived in a trailer on the back of Mom's yard until January when they moved into the house with her. My sister was a nurse and had all the training and dedication to care for our mother.

I usually do not put family pictures on my blog. But this is a special Mothers Day gift to my Mom. This picture was taken in 1950.



I will be reading your blogs as time permits just because they keep my mind busy. I will not take time to comment unless something really speaks to me.

We will see you next week.

Angle and Kirby will be looked after till I get home.

Tusie Tuesday

Mom! you woke me up!
Sorry Kirby, go back to sleep!

Purrs for Herman

This is my dear friend Herman. You see, Herman is FeLV and FIV positive and is not doing well at all. His condition is serious. His Mom, Karen Jo is one heck of a sweet human lady and loves him so very much. As a matter of fact, all of us in the Cat Blogosphere are just totally in love with sweet Herman and his Mom. It would be very nice, if you haven’t already, to go by and send them both some love and some purrs. You can find them at Herman's Hideaway.

Sorry, we are running late. Mom and Dad went back to the fair!

Beautiful Blogger Award

Our good friend Herman gave us this great award . Thank you so very much. We really appreciate it. According to the rules, We are supposed to tell you seven new things about us. We have received several awards in the last three months that Mom has not posted but we wanted to honor Herman. He is very sick and we thought it might make him and his Mom feel a little better that we posted this one. Please go see Herman and leave purrs for him. It looks like he is eating better today!

We will split the seven new things between us.

Angel, Ladies first

1. I have started asking for scritches!
2. I have started standing in Mom's lap and begging to be petted!
3. I think our diet is working cause Mom says I am lighter.

Kirby, your turn

1. I am wearing a calming collar so I don't jump on Angle and bit her neck. It is working!
2. I want to be in the kitchen when Mom and Dad are cooking. I lay in the floor and beg for tummy rubs.
3. I know the diet is working. I am getting a waist!

Mom, just to keep it even

1. I have applied for a part time job and a local quilt store. Being off a year and being idle is taking its toll on my body and mind.

Kirby is not sure he likes my new item!

Wordless Wednesday

Scarborough Fair

Mom and Dad went to the Renaissance Fair on Saturday. They did not take a lot of pictures of the people but they saw the Queen and King and a lot of Scots all in kilts. They saw this one guy that eated fire!




This guy played with whips and one was on fire. He is going to a national competition for whip crackers!



More tomorrow.

Mom and Dad have needed to change out the American flag that flies in the front yard for weeks. Today they got it done. Mom had an Army banner flying just under the big flag. It has been up there for several yeas. Today, it came down because the fastener broke. It was also in bad shape.

Kirby had to check it out!


Here is what is left of it!



Mom will try to post pictures of silly people at the Renaissance Fair they went to on Saturday! Those pictures are on Dad's camera.
