PHOTO HUNT: FLUFFY

Today's Photo Hunt word  ~ FLUFFY ~ must have

been chosen with Zoey in mind!

Here, three of my most favorite fluffy photos of my fluffy kitty.

... but since all that fluff and floof went away a few days ago,
guess I'll have to enjoy fluffy only through these old photos ...

PHOTO HUNT: BLING

You like my BLING?

I do!

PHOTO HUNT: SURPRISE (and a note from Zoey)

Christmas, 1978 ~

Alexandria, Virginia

It was our family custom to leave "Santa's Boots" outside our childrens bedroom doors (not having an appropriate spot to hang stockings).

Christmas morning ~

open the door, grab Santa's boot, run down the hallway to the living room ~

This Christmas my husband was "camera

ready" and caught the surprise on our daughters

face as she saw the Christmas tree and

presents Santa had left the night before.

PHOTO HUNT: JOY

It was a joy to have my Mom in my life for 96-years, and a joy

to share many holidays together.

PHOTO HUNT: LIGHTS

Christmas Lights Light Up Zoey

Photo Hunt has traditionally run each Saturday for many years now.

As of today, it has a new host and a new link.

It's fun and challenging to take part in Photo Hunt.  The goal is to publish

a photo, from your own photo files, that complements the category, then

you add your blog link to the Photo Hunt page.

(scroll down for our regular Saturday post, posted before we knew

Photo Hunt was back up and running.)

Torn, scattered and RIPPED ~ but fun!

PHOTO HUNT: HAND-WRITTEN

These are thank you note cards the ZH made for me and Mags.

This one is blank inside.

Mags will have to hand-write some after tomorrow, cause tomorrow is her

birthday and it's proper to send a thank you note when you get birthday presents.

Of course, there's no guarantee she'll get anything ...

PHOTO HUNT: WET-RAIN

Rain play with JuneyBug, August 2011.

PHOTO HUNT: TWO

Paws: 2
Shoelaces: 2
Game tied.
Or untied as the case may be.

PHOTO HUNT: WOODEN

Photo Hunt challenges us to find a photo each week, one of our own of course, that complements a certain category.  I sometimes have difficulty finding a photo that fits the category and still makes sense on a "cat" blog!  Photo Hunt appears on many blogs each Saturday, and you can click here to link to Photo Hunt, if you're interested in taking part.  Today's word is "wooden".  This is an old photo, and a favorite one, of my granddaughter looking up at Maggy and Maggy returning her gaze.  So, here we have a favorite girl and a favorite kitty together with a favorite antique dressing table. That's the "wooden" part.  I love this piece, rescued from an old farmhouse in southwestern Michigan, it was covered with several layers of black lacquered paint.  We brought it to Florida and turned it over to a master restorer.  He found it was made of many, many different woods, it is all tongue and groove, no nails anywhere, and even the casters are made of wood.  His restoration took months, as he restored each type of wood to its natural state.  His work was impeccable, I thank him.

PHOTO HUNT: GREASY

I'm remembering an old advertising slogan, that went something like "nothin' says lovin' like somethin' from the oven!"  Well, nothin' is better than a big fat chick-hen and nobody does an oven stuffer roaster like my Poppy. Stuffed with sausage, and brown rice, mushrooms and spinach. And any minute now, that clucker there is gonna be artfully massaged, inside and out, with special olive oils and all kinds of exotic seasonings.  I mean, this is gonna be good, really, really good!  ZOEY: GET AWAY FROM THAT GREASY BIRD!

PHOTO HUNT: WRONG

Oh Oh.  Did we do something WRONG?

Sure hope Maggy has her license and registration ...
I'm glad I wasn't driving, I only have a learners permit.

PHOTO HUNT: DRINK

PHOTO HUNT: ONE

I am ONE of two kitties who run this blog.

I am ONE very special kitty.

I am very special in many ways.

ONE way I am special

is because I have ONE cute snaggle toof.

PHOTO HUNT: PAINTED

THE ADVENTURES OF ZOEY-PAWS SAWYER

"with a wink and a tail-wag to Mark Twain"

Once upon a time, in the 1800s, I lived in a little village called St. Petersburg,

in Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi River.

My cousin was named MagCat Sawyer, and she was known to be the

village "bad cat".  At times, I could be mischievous too.

Once when MagCat was especially naughty, our

Aunt PollyPurrs said she had to whitewash the fence as her punishment.

But instead, MagCat got together with her really wicked whiskered

friend, HuckFurrocious Finn.  They stole an old dinghy and drifted away

down river in search of feline adventures.

I didn't want MagCat to be in more trouble whenever she came home,

so I went off to Aunt PollyPurrs house to whitewash her fence.

Purrhaps I got a bit carried away that day.

But then I am a colorful cat.

And I prefer a colorfully painted fence!

I do hope Aunt PollyPurrs won't punish me ...

PHOTO HUNT: NEAR

The son and granddaughter of the ZH are very NEAR the water now.

Any minute ~ Super Big Splash!

I'd better get far away as I am too NEAR and will get wet!

PHOTO HUNT: BUSY

I am often quite BUSY on Saturday mornings. 

You see, the little grand boy-bean is here all day Friday. 

There are many toys to pick up and put away. 

It's my Saturday chore.

It can take a long time for me to finish 'cause I stop and play with his toys.

I did a good job stacking the Lego's in order by color, don't you think?

And then there's Maggy: she'd like you to think she is

BUSY on Saturday mornings.

She'd like you to think she is BUSY helping the ZH with laundry.

The truth is that she simply likes to nap and that pile of laundry

is soft and warm. Maggy, BUSY?  Not!

PHOTO HUNT: CARDS

If Zoolatry were a deck of CARDS,

it's quite easy to know who would be the Joker

and who would be the Queen of Hearts.

PHOTO HUNT: TRIANGLES

Some years ago, when my adorable granddaughter was learning to ski,

she was taught the "snowplow". 

Ideally, with the "snowplow" the skis will form a triangle

allowing the skier to come to a gentle and easy stop.

Sometimes her ski's would form triangles and

sometimes her legs would form TRIANGLES.

PHOTO HUNT: DIRTY

Some"body" took crayons and got the carpet DIRTY.

Some"body" took crayons and got his paws, er, feet, DIRTY.

The cat says some"body" else did it.  Not me!
