It’s FRIDAY! It’s also going to be a super hot day here leading up to a super hot weekend so yours truly is officially “ONE COOL CAT” in addition to being one spoiled one!! I’m going to be lounging around indoors today you can bet on it.
Keepin’ cooooooooooooooooool !
Mom and Dad went out to dinner last night. They actually haven’t done that in a while so I was glad they had a “date”. They talked earlier in the day about where they should go. The winning restaurant (haha) was the local Chinese restaurant. I ran to the desk in the kitchen and pulled out the takeout menu from this particular restaurant and scanned it for any takeout possibilities I might be interested in – so they could bring something yummy home for me. Then I heard Dad say he might get some FRIED MICE!!!! That got my attention………that is until Mom repeated what Dad had said and I guess I misunderstood – Dad said FRIED RICE. Dang! (note: I hope I didn’t offend any of my “rodent-related” friends ;)….teehee)
Anyway, when they got home they didn’t bring me any leftovers. Mice or no mice. Rice or no rice. Oh well…….
What? No leftovers?
So I guess other than today being the “monster out of the closet” (aka cleaning) day, there won’t be a lot happening in my world. But there’s no complaints from me in that department – we retirees spend a lot of time just kickin’ back and enjoying life. That’s my plan today. What’s yours????

I was laughing out loud about your fried mice…guess that would have sounded good to you. Try to stay cool today – we are cutting grass in a few short minutes, then lounging around inside – maybe with a good book!

Hi Miss Linda! You’re smart to get that grass cutting done EARLY….my Mom was going to do ours but Daddy talked her out of it. 😀 (I think he was more interested in her making breakfast than mowing!!).
Stay cool OK????????????? Happy weekend!

Oh, Sammy, you silly cat! You made me laugh with your “fried mice”! Sorry you didn’t get leftovers, but since there weren’t any mice on the menu, I guess it was just as well.
I’m stayin’ cool on my window seat today too!

Hi Miss June…….this is the kind of day to do whatever you have to do outside EARLY….then “recover” the rest of the day! Mommy did that too – garden watering at 5AM, housecleaning at 7AM, and then we’ve stayed inside and stayed cool ever since. You stay cool too!

My plan today is to say COOL and not get a cranky on from the heat! There will be no cleaning at this house today. We moved around our furniture in the great room yesterday and that was enough for me. Hmmm Chinese sounds very good Sam. Maybe MooGooGaiPan or Empress Chicken but we have to drive about 45 minutes for good Chinese! Fried Mice… 😆 “Love to eat them mousies, mousies what I love to eat!

Sammy, I hope you stay indoors and nice and cool today! My dogs have already decided the air conditioner’s vents are where they want to be. And it’s not even 9:00 yet. It’s to be 105-106 here along the NC coast all the way through Tuesday. We need a nice rain to cool things down.
I’m happy your folks went out to eat last evening. Too bad they didn’t bring you a spoonful of rice (or mice!) Maybe next time!

Bleagh. Chiniese restaurants load their food with sauces. Humans apparently like that sort of thing, but I don’t understand why. Even if they did serve fried mice, you wouldn’t be able to recognize it for all the soy sauce!
