It’s not as yucky here as I know it is in many other areas today BUT yesterday it was one miserable day. Great for naps but nothing else. Windy – rainy – chilly…………….
Yuck
But enough about the weather…………after all, it will be what it will be even if I don’t complain right? Today is the 23rd and that means the clock is ticking until time for Kyla’s Highland Games AND, for that matter, before the Haunted House on my blog for Sam-O-Ween. I have two other parties to go to that day – one at Cat Scouts and one at the Tabby Cat Club. I’ll be one busy guy……….but I bet most of you have multiple parties to attend too. We’ll all have a lot of fun though won’t we. I sure have a lot of GREAT entries for my Funniest Costume contest…..just wait until you see them (giggle).

Today is laundry day at my house………….Mom changes the sheets on the bed and does the clothes laundry and towels too. Exciting right? Wrong. I used to enjoy messing up the bed when Mom changed sheets but I’m a bit too “long in the tooth” (aka old) to do that these days…..but sometimes I follow Mom around as she does all her “stuff”……just to be companionable – know what I mean?
Laundry….they make it look FUN…..
Mom’s gonna make an apple pie today – that will be the highlight of the day because it smells so wonderful while it’s baking. She’s using granny smith apples – I think I’ll probably be able to pop up on her lap while it’s baking – she won’t want to be far from the kitchen and her recliner and the TV are right next to the kitchen. I’m thinking it will be a good LAP/LEG nap day. YAY!
C’mon Mom…..let that apple pie bake – I need you here!!
Do you have any special plans today??? Hmmm?????
Hugs, Sammy

Hi Sammy,
no special plans here [Germany, Rhineland] for today. Our weather in the last few days seems to have been like yours: windy and rainy. But forecast is good: a few days of Indian Summer.
Have a great day, and stay well,

Will you get to taste the pie? Or some apples? Or a crumb of the crust, S? I hope so. Not only is Mom NOT baking me a pie, she’s going OUT to breakfast with one of her friends. That means I won’t even get a piece of scrambled egg, a blueberry, or a slurp of yogurt. I can’t wait for lunchtime, though!
