HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA


I am often among many bemoaning the state of affairs in the USA.
Among many tipping my head in shame, but today I will stand tall and proud.
Below, just a few select words from two songs that have long been favorites.

To paraphrase Kermit, "somebody thought of that,
somebody believed ~ and yes, look, we have come so far."

Listening many times to the one and only Louis Armstrong,
I do hear, have heard people saying,
"I love you."

THE HOUSE OF A MILLION CATS


Technically, not.
I am an only cat, happy to be.
Here you see, well not quite all, but 22 of my pillow-cat friends.
And not shown quite a few of my other cat friends live 
here and there around our studio.
But, technically, not a million.
Meowz.


HAPPY AS AN ONLY CAT

THANKFUL THURSDAY


Though never my lap cat, content to sit beside ~ for brushies.

Thankful for her, thankful for her choices, she is allowed.

I'm good with that.

HAPPY CANADA DAY

So many friends and furriends up North, 
t'other side of the border,
love 'em all!

Happy they're there, and still like us
 ~ and happy for those who happened to land here!
[like mine Mommy who is one-half Canadian ... ]

Good neighbors!
It's Your Day!
