OLD FRIENDS, FRIENDS OF OLD

An old friend popped up in our files, came to visit over the weekend ~
and seems to be visiting in movie theaters all over the USA!

Meanwhile, mine Mommy was super-busy with all kinds of things, 
including spending time with her old, well not old, but friend-of-old ... 
[who, yes I did hiss at, sorry] ... 

so, our COMMENTS ARE OFF today.

She says we'll have a quiet Monday, guess that means I can nap.

She will have a laundry day, and spend the rest of the day visiting all
my/her blog friends and seeing what all of you were up to over the
past few days that I/we have missed.  

See ya soon, MEOWZ.

A SPECIAL DAY

 

CATURDAY ART ~ THE STARRY NIGHT

Today we pay homage to Vincent van Gogh [1853-1890] 
and one of his most recognizable paintings, 

THE STARRY NIGHT, painted in June, 1889.

Our inspiration was recently viewing the Netflix film, LOVING VINCENT [2017].
For any who appreciate visual arts, this was an amazing undertaking.
A Polish film, created by over 100 artists from around the world.
  These were the artists original oil paintings, drawings and more, 

interpreting the style of van Gogh and CGI animated for the film. 

The film tells the story of a young man who travels to the home town of

van Gogh, intent on delivering a letter, also curious to learn the

true circumstances of his death.  His journey progresses through the

full color painted illustrations, yet when he visits the memories of

van Gogh's final days images transition to black and white.

If you choose to watch this unique film, be sure to stay for the

credits at the end.  A book of slowly turning pages...

each page highlighting the artists who created the beautiful film

you just watched... a little film, ending a film.

ACROSS THE ROOM

I heard her calling my name.

She was across the room.

Over there, on the day bed.

Her. Her stuff, cluttered ~ a book, a cell phone [just in case, you know],

the TV remote, albeit in silent mode, though she could look up for the

inevitable "breaking news".  Meowz.

I heard her calling my name.  "Junie, come here."

I heard the click of that camera phone ...

Find my spot in that pile of clutter, no thank you,

far more interesting things to see and hear on Charles Street.  Meowz.

FELINE FRIDAY

 

CRY, BABY CRY and THANKFUL THURSDAY

 It's been a long time, but this one called out to us!

Just hope we're also forgiven for "playing around with the photo",

it's something we have a hard time not doing.

Time now to hop over to

THANKFUL THURSDAY

BRIAN'S HOME BLOG

The poetry photo for today reminded me of an old personal photo,

always thankful for our babies, 

especially now when cry-time is a distant memory ...
