Good old (!) Mom………….where would I be without her? I don’t wanna know! But today she’s going to get some blood work done (glad it’s not ME) so I’m making it “Mom Monday”. When she gets home I’ll pop up on her laps and keep her warm. It’s what I do BEST! (yes I know I reap the benefits myself from using her as a heating pad)
I guess this is a “leg nap” not a “lap nap” !!
Yesterday was another cool start – it was in the 40s in the morning and when Mom went down our LONG driveway to get the newspaper, she wore her winter parka! That’s right……….WINTER PARKA. So, I think it’s safe to say, those lazy, hazy crazy days of summer can be packed up and put away for another year!
Did you know that this Friday is “Pirate’s Day” in the blogosphere? Yes indeed………….I’m already working on a suitable photograph to post for the day. The Cat Blogosphere calls it “Meow Like A Pirate” day but if you’re an animal of a different sort I guess you can substitute the appropriate “sound” for a meow! HAHAHA
This was me LAST Pirate Day:
Tomorrow I have a GUEST TEASER for you Teaser fans…………..so be ready with all your reference material (or your finger on the google search button…hahaha) and maybe you can figure it out FIRST. You get a badge you know if you’re the FIRST right guesser, or you guess correctly period, or even if you haven’t any idea where the Teaser photo was taken you STILL get a badge. Where else can you go and ALWAYS win something huh????
Hope you have a fab day…………..whether your Mom is having blood work done or not, give her an EXTRA hug today……why? Let’s say it’s “GIVE YOUR ASSISTANT AN EXTRA HUG” day. Hey – I can make up a special day if I want to right??
Awww…….just like this!
HUGS, Sammy
