It’s Friday and We’re “filling in” !!
We’re pawticipating in our usual Friday fun by “filling in” sentences courtesy of the co-hosts Miss Annie of McGuffy’s Reader and Miss Ellen of 15andMeowing ! Every week we get FOUR sentences that we must complete by filling in the blanks. It’s tons of fun to see how everyone finishes their sentences. We sure learn a lot about each other this way! If you’d like to play along, just visit one of the hosting blogs and join up using the LINKY TOOL! This week I let my Mom do the filling in – sometimes I do them, sometimes we BOTH do them, but this week I thought it might just be MOM’s turn!!!! Her answers are in GREEN.
Here are this week’s sentences
1. MANNERS should be taught in schools.
- The last item I donated was CLOTHING – I donate when I clean out my closet at change of seasons!
- My (personal) song is “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole, because it was my Dad’s favorite song.
- Three things I am thankful for this week are: Being a citizen of the USA, being blessed with so many really GOOD friends, and that my sister-in-law is hostessing family for Thanksgiving dinner this year at their cabin in the mountains!!.
YAY! Thanks Mom………..so this is the first I’m hearing about you and Dad deserting me on Thanksgiving – AGAIN…………I assume you WILL be bringing home some leftovers for me? You know I love turkey!
I hope everyone has a restful weekend……………….as you all know by now tomorrow is my weekly “celebration of bacon” so I hope you’ll stop by and have some with me. Yes I do share…….really I do!
She always stops by on Saturday!
Hugs, Sammy

My Mom says she knows that song by Harry Belafonte and when it’s snowy and cold out, “The Island In The Sun” is a good thing to listen to! I have bacon all set for cooking tomorrow morning so I’ll set a place at the table for you – – – – OK?

Sweet fill-ins, from your mom, S. She is so right about manners. Although my mom (and probably yours) learned manners at home, when she was a teacher, she had to teach the kids in her class to say hello when they enter a room, bye when they leave, say please and thank you, hold doors open for each other, and wait their turn. I guess they didn’t learn that stuff at home.
Love and licks,
Cupcake

Happy Bacon Day to you, too! I hope that you enjoyed it. We had bacon earlier in the week so didn’t have it again today.
I agree, the duet was magical. I also love the posthumous duet between Elvis and his daughter, “Don’t Cry, Daddy”. I always loved Elvis and it is just an emotional experience seeing her sing that song with him, knowing she lost him so very young. She was only 9 years old when she lost her daddy. Natalie was about 15 years old, but both were way too young to have to say good-bye to their daddies. 😦
Any age is too young.
Enjoy that bacon, Sammy! Have a blessed Sunday.

We didn’t do the fill-ins this week. Mostly because Mom couldn’t think of a song. And she said her lists for #1 and #3 (who can narrow it to three) would have taken an entire post. We are so sorry that your humans will be leaving you on turkey day. Want to come stay with us? There probably won’t be any turkey. Mom says it’s too much to cook for just two. But you will have lots of companionship. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty may, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
