Thankful Thursday

Yo! Pierrot here. My sweetheart, Snowball from 15andmeowing, and her family sent us some gifts and I'm here to talk about them.

She and mom Ellen are so thoughtful. We won a giveaway on their blog and they also sent us Christmas presents. They sent a glass Christmas pickle ornament with a cute poem, two hand-crocheted toys, one for Annie and one for me, that are Christmas ornaments, a coloring book for the lady, some stickers, cute paper on which to make wishes to Santa and a wonderful card with all their pictures. We are so thankful for their friendship and kindness!

Wordless Wednesday: I love this girl!

Sunday Selfies: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah

Today we're having a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and a pumpkin pie. I know kitties don't like pumpkin pie, but we're taking a page out of Wally's book. It's all about the whipped cream! We hope you are all having a lovely holiday. We appreciate your friendship very much.

Friendly Fill-Ins and Grievances

It's time for Friendly Fill-Ins, hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy's Reader.

1. I still need to make a pumpkin pie before Christmas.
2.  My favorite episode of Seinfeld is I didn't watch much Seinfeld and it's been a long time since I've seen an episode. I wish I could answer this because I know there were many funny episodes. I just can't think of one.
3. What I would really like for Christmas is a cat-themed mug, new PJs, Christmas/cat mystery, scented lotion and body spray or slippers. I wonder if my hubby will get me any of these. 
4. My favorite part of Christmastime is it's a time for family to be together; although, sadly, we haven't been with family on Christmas in several years. Also, I love the meaning of Christmas: the birth of our Savior.

Phoebe at 15andmeowing asked us to celebrate Festivus by airing our grievances:

Annie: Lack of treats!
Pierrot: You don't like me to scoot my bum on the carpet post poop.

A raspberry for you, lady

 

Thankful Thursday: Warmth

Pierrot is thankful for the lady's heater. As you can see, he's making sure he gets optimal heat on his tummy.

I am always thankful for sunshine!

 A blankie or two are always nice too!

Sunday Selfies

I set up the camera and timer to make my selfie, and lo and behold, there's Pierrot photobombing me. Oh well. Now, it's a double selfie.

Christmas Outtakes and Friendly Fill-Ins

Yesterday, we posted our Christmas pictures. When the lady put the Christmas collar on me, I rolled around and had such a great time that she only got one non-blurry shot. First, I wouldn't stop wiggling and then I fell asleep after all that fun. We thought we'd post those outtakes here and then our fill-ins are below.

We're joining the Friendly Fill-Ins, hosted by McGuffy's Reader and 15andmeowing.

1. My favorite Christmas songs are O Come All Ye Faithful and Silent Night, but I could do without hearing Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer ever again.

2. My most meaningful Christmas ornament/decoration is my wood-carved nativity scene that my mom had for years and then gave to me.

3. My favorite holiday treats are Christmas cookies. (Annie: Greenies and a new catnip toy!)

4. A holiday tradition in my house is my husband and I have breakfast Christmas morning of sweet rolls, scrambled eggs, juice & fruit.

Thankful Thursday: Christmas

We are very thankful for Christmas and its true meaning to us, which we have on our sidebar.  Today, we want to share our Christmas pictures.

Sunday Selfies

Pierrot took his own selfie for today and did a pretty good job!

With the lady's help, I decided to do a profile selfie.

We hope you're having a lovely Sunday, enjoying time with each other!

Come see more fun selfies at The Cat on My Head, the host of this blog hop!

Thankful Thursday

We are thankful that we're all together again, safe, happy and cozy.

I'm kneading my blankie in happiness!

I look like a round skeleton

A Brief Farewell and Friendly Fill-Ins

We're happy in the sunshine today.

The lady and big guy are leaving us for over two weeks! They leave in a little less than a week, but this will be our last post for about three weeks. We will miss you all and each other terribly! This will be the last time for a long time that they go away.

Here are our Friendly Fill-Ins, hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy's Reader:

1. _____________________should be taught in schools.

2. The last item I donated was ___________________________.

3. My (personal) song is                           , because                               .

4. Three things I am thankful for this week are:                     ,                       , and                             .

1. Manners and kindness should be taught in schools. I know there are a lot of important things that should be taught as well, like American history, but it's been a long time since I've been in school so I'm far from an authority.

2. The last item I donated was food to my church's food pantry.

3. My (personal) song is Great is Thy Faithfulness (a Christian hymn), because it describes perfectly our loving, merciful, kind God.

4. Three things I am thankful for this week are: veterans, my country, and my cats.

Happy Veteran's Day! 

Thankful Thursday

Sometimes I just love the little things. I'm thankful for the lady's jammies. They're so soft.

Friendly Fill-Ins

 Hi! Today we're doing Friendly Fill-Ins, the fun blog hop hosted by McGuffy's Reader and 15andmeowing. The lady answered one through three, and I answered four.

1. Peace ____________________________. 
2. I need to ___________________________, but I keep procrastinating.

3. A friend is                                .

4. I                     try to                         . 

1. Peace on earth, or at least in the U. S., is something I pray and long for, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

 

2. I need to do a bunch of stuff to our house, but I keep procrastinating. We need new kitchen counters and cupboards, new bathroom, new flooring, but it’s all so overwhelming and expensive that we don't know where to start or whom to hire. Since moving in two and a half years ago, we’ve had to replace the blinds, kitchen floor, fridge, toilet, dishwasher and hot water heater.

 

3. A friend is someone I trust and is someone with whom I feel comfortable. 

 

4. I always try to eat a lot of food. Unfortunately, the lady always tries to foil me. 

 

 

Treats or Treats!

Sunday Selfie in a Cloud

The lady was about to make the bed yesterday. As soon as she put the sheets on the bed, I made a nest. She let me enjoy my cloud and made the bed much later.

Friendly Fill-Ins!

 Friendly Fill-Ins is hosted by McGuffy's Reader and 15andMeowing.

1. The first think I check when I go online is _________________________.
2. My signature dish is _________________________.
3. My Halloween night is usually _________________________.
4. Trick-or-treaters _________________________.

1. The first think I check when I go online is Blogger and/or Google+.
2. My signature dish is lasagna. I've been making this since we were first married (29 years ago!). I used to make it every year for my husband's (aka the big guy) birthday.
3. My Halloween night is usually spent at home watching a movie and hoping to hand out some candy.
4. Trick-or-treaters never come to our house (unfortunately). I buy candy ever year and we always start eating it a week or two before, but I always make sure we have plenty to hand out just in case.

Wordless Wednesday: Taking A Break from Watching the Leaves

Sunday Selfie

Hi! We wish you a happy Sunday and hope you get to do what you enjoy. For me, that means napping in the sunshine, getting combed and getting some tummy rubs.

Friendly Fill-Ins

Today is Friendly Fill-Ins, hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy's Reader!

1. One Halloween, I dressed as _____________________________.

2. My favorite comedian is ______________________________.

3. My scariest Halloween was                                 .

4.                         is my favorite Halloween treat.

 1. One Halloween, I dressed as a black cat. I wore a black leotard. My mom made the ears, whiskers and tail. I was in the 5th grade.
2. My favorite comedian is Lucille Ball.
3. My scariest Halloween was when I saw my first horror movie, Halloween 2, when I was 15 or 16. I never watched horror movies. I remember walking out of the theater into the lobby for a breather and could hear everyone screaming in the theater. It was scary!
4. Snickers are my favorite Halloween treats (but I eat them year round).

Your answers are snooze-worthy, lady

Thankful Thursday

I was just spending my day like I usually do: searching for the best sun puddles, looking out the window, lying on top of my toys and taking naps. Then, without warning, two loud men were in my house for several hours. Our hot water heater had been leaking and they were here to replace it.

We are very thankful that the big guy saw that it was leaking and caught it in time. I am now all the more grateful for my peaceful life.

Sunday Selfies

This is a clean selfie. I stopped in the middle of a long bath to take it (with a little help).

Pierrot took his selfie in the middle of a sunbath.
