Come Fly with Me: NC and Iowa trip

Today it is my honor to host this fine event with  Easy Rider.  This idea was Easy's brain child.
I thank Easy and Staff for asking me to co-host with them.

Ready, set......




Sammy we are gonna start our magical trip at my house.  I heard you like to watch trains...
well you are gonna love riding on one twice as much.
I'll be over here I think I smell some N I P or perhaps a Chrissymas Mouse!!

Sammy my dear friend.  I read all about your love of Christmas.  
So today I would like to take you on a magical trip to one of my peeps favorite places to 
visit at Christmas, Grove Park Inn, Asheville, NC


We are going to have breakfast in the lovely Blue Ridge Room overlooking the
mountains.  I called ahead to tell them you are King of Baconia...they promised to have
lots of crispy bacon waiting for you.  This delightful group
insisted on a photo shoot and a Ginger ManCat polydactyl autograph.

There are tons of  beautiful Christmas trees
This is the Dr. Seuss theme Tree it is a favorite of Blogville.

Lucky us to stumble upon the Ginger Bread House judging and you were given a seat of honor my Santa Paws..




After a busy day of fun, food and frolicking, we are relaxing by the fire to enjoy very lovely
Christmas memories and magic


Sammy thank you for taking this magical trip with me. It was
lovely to share the time with you.   
PS not matter what you mom says you DO NOT
SNORE!!
Love and hugs and tons of kitty kisses Madi your bfff here, now and ever after!!!!

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday and REMINDER

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday with Sammy

Today's post is brought to you by the letter
Y
This cat's meow 
is revvved up a notch by YeoWWW!
WHAT ????your meow is just now
hearing of YeoWWW?
YeoWWW comes in all shapes
GREAT and SMALL
 A cigar, a carrot, a 'nanner and a sardine my mates.
My favorite is not the cigar
it is a tin of sardines by far. 
Yes a tin I did say,
The organic nip tickles my nose, 
it gives my eyes a scary glare.
As it reaches my brain,
into a trance I will remain.
Often I'm asked, "Madi what is your heart's desire",
My reply without a thought is a loud and a proud
YeoWWW! please sir/ma'am with it I am 'down'!!.



As you saw at the top today's poetry is hosted by the one and only Senor Senior Sammy, aka 
One loved Spoiled Cat, 

Tomorrow is a very special day, Come Fly with Me,  to honor Sammy.  Hosted by Easy and the YeoWWW! queen Madi.

Our thoughts.....on Easy


Today when the sun rose I did not expect to hear that my dear
friend Easy Rider had passed away overnight. Just a week
ago tomorrow, Easy was FINE.  He wrote to us about planning an event for Sammy.  Easy was so excited.  We were both in our best thinking spots,  Easy was under the covers on his bed and I was sitting on the table.  We made it happen in 20 minutes.

This morning Easy's Staff told us they would like for 
Come Fly with Me to go on as planned. They will pawticipate. 
In it's own way it speaks to Easy's love of blogville.
 Sammy and Easy were the best of buds, two of the toughest guyz we know with GREAT BIG Hearts of Gold.  Later down the
road Easy's staff said they will do something in honor of  his life  but they are not ready yet.


 So friends, after confirming it is ok with Easy's Staff and Sammy,
we will be strong for Easy.  We will proudly carry Easy's grand idea for Sammy to the finish line.  Sammy and Easy were buddies.  

Good buddies put on your wings and..........



Around this great big world....life can change in a heart beat
Thank you 
Madi and Mom
PS if you need help with your picture let us know!!

Tuesday Tale

Apparently Senior Kitties can do new things.  I  am at 14 years and 8 months and
Lo and behold I managed to shock the slippers off my peeps feets yesterday morning.
Now YOU KNOW I like to help dad shave so sitting on the counter is no biggy....many of my
kitty friends like to get in sinks and lick the water but I HAVE NEVER DONE IT.
I kept sitting on the counter then all of a sudden in I go...Mom thought turning on the water would 
send me scurrying but NOPE I went right in the sink took a few trial runs and bang I was a sipping like a pro.  The peeps have no clue why/what possessed me to start this. I don't like my feets
wet but that must have changed.  In the center photo I'm standing in water!!!!!


Mom was in total shock at how up close and purrsonal I became
with the water.  In the right photo my nose was a nano meter from the water

MESSY Monday MEWS and my 1st Card



On Thanksgiving just mere minutes before our lunch guest were scheduled to arrive mom was washing this VERYYYYYYYYYYY sharp dagger knife....by hand
SHE WILL NO LONGER WASH IT BY HAND....

This is the day after photo 
 There are no graphic photos but just hearing mom talk about it makes me queasy.  Some how the dagger made a large diagonal 
slice between the first joint and the knuckle.  

She **** like the worst scene from a horror movie.  She bellowed for dad he came running, got her to the bathroom for first aid.  He made her sit down, proceeded to put 87 band aides on it to stop the ****!!!!!!! She became very clammy, lightheaded and dad said she was white as a ghost...aka in shock....he got her to the bed thinking she was gonna faint.   Fast forward 30 minutes.  Aunty K and Uncle G arrived.  Mom was once again standing...but Aunty K took over.  She gave mom an ice pack to hold on the finger and told her to keep it up right.  Aunty K started setting the table and dishing up the vittles. 

Thanksgiving night dad helped mom take off the 87 band aides.  They were very thankful to see no more ****and most of all the wound had closed up nicely...thanks to Dad's good bandaging!!  It doesn't hurt unless she puts pressure on it so she is being very careful.....
BUT FRIENDS  SHE GLAD SHE DID OUR CHRISTMAS
POSTCARDS EARLY...CAUSE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN DELAYED, can type but she cannot bend the finger to write or
cut.

SINCERELY 
MADI and hopefully no more messy manor stories!!


SPEAKING OF CARDS.....IT HAS STARTED...GUESS WHO WAS THE FIRST SENIOR IN THIS HOUSE TO GET A CARD

ME....M A D I...
from DaWeenies and Pack in FL!!
Thanks Amber, Max, Pack and Peeps...you are first to arrive!!


To Hailey, Phod and their Lady we say well done on organizing the ginormous list in fine alphabetically order.  Well done to you two and Oreo. It was spaced so nicely mom was able to cut out the addresses and paste to my cards.

hopeful with his vets help he can rally a bit.

taken from somewhere around this great big world.  Then challenge us to 
GUESS where the picture was taken.  Sammy and his peeps love virtual and real travel.
