Taking A Plunge Into The Kitten Pool!

One of these is potentially Lucy's baby kitty brother!!!
I am thinking it's that light colored feisty one!
We need a spunky kitty in this house to match the spunky kitty we have!















Lucy sort of looked at them...sort of interested!
I have since found out that there are two boys and two girls.
These babies are 9 days old!
I have three months to prepare...Lucy.

Happy Sunday!!!

Reading this...oh me oh my, how I love this series...they just get better and better and even though it has been awhile since the last one the characters and the story's essence are clear and vivid from the first few pages.


Wishing everyone a relaxing fun Sunday!

Sushi And Chocolate Cake?

This is why I love Saturday!

Lucy and I sit on the deck while Den is on his big green tractor...mowing! We do not go inside until Lucy decides she doesn't like the sound any more...and that takes a long time!

This is not our tractor but I know someone who wishes it was...lol.

Ours is smaller but still the green kind.




Dinner is whatever we feel hungry for...we had reservations but we have decided to cancel and either grill something or get something. We have the Saturday lazies. Den brought home slices of what looks like a yummy fudge ridden chocolate cake. Not only do we have the bread lady but now we have a cake lady!

Oh boy!

Soon we shall be showered and in comfy clothes sipping on my newest summer drink...Grey Goose Vodka, soda, twist of lime and a splash of cranberry juice!!!




Let's see...sushi or a hamburger on the grill? The hamburger is grass fed and I have a huge fresh salad to go with it.

And don't forget...

there's cake for dessert!!!

Chocolate!!!

A World Without You...A Giveaway!

I read this book a while ago...it was yummy...complex family issues and a summer home in the Berkshires...next to Maine...one of my favorite areas.

It has just been published and the lovely Joshua Henkin will send a copy to one of my lucky winners!

Just comment and I will random.org a winner on Sunday. This book will enhance your summer reading stack! Why am I using random.org as a verb?

Books!!!

Finished this...yummy but these really need to be read in order...intense character development...





Finished this...sweet, delightful, entrancing...you will love these characters and you will delight in this sweetly told novel. A summer must read...even the cover is lovely and inviting.



I thought I had lost my reading skills this week but maybe I didn't?

I think I am going to start this today...I need fantasy...I love this series!

Love All Of These!

Dishes galore! I love this place! Our favorite pasta bowls came from here. And look...they are at the New York Library!




I know...I know...you most likely will not love this dress...but I adore it! I have also seen it in a color called geranium...I have not bought it...yet!!!
It's a Rachel Pally...one of my favorites...slip on dresses...I collect them!!!




And this one...a circle dress!!!
Gulp!!!
It's from a shop called Bona Drag...I seriously could curl up in this one...lol...I know that now you are seriously questioning my taste...it comes in sweatshirt gray, too!
This is it without a person.



This is it on a person.



Finished this...yummy but not until a third of the way into it. Could have been the pounding...


You may have noticed that I haven't been reading much this week...it's hot...I am restless and distracted from the roof stuff...plus my pace is sort of tiring me out. I need to start my summer promise to myself...and just read my own stuff for a while.
I want to read this...and I am not!
So sad...I used to read all of my favorites the moment they came out. I love this series. I miss fantasy...I am just a tad tired of reality! I love everything I am reading but I sort of feel tied down.

Has anyone else ever felt this way?

iPads And Cats...It's A Good Thing! I Think!

Ok...I may have mentioned that Lucy Grace...my amazing Tonkinese kitty...watches tv...favorite shows...golf, the Puppy Bowl and anything with dolphins. She will also watch certain animated movies...Lion King...and Puss In Boots...but only the one with Antonio Banderas...and her new fave is the one where the animals escape from the zoo. She is better with trailers than actual movies...attention span?




I have noticed that she has shown an interest in my iPad...
Of course Den and are always on the lookout for YouTube videos that we think would enrich her...ha ha ha...are you believing this?
Harrumph!!!
I showed her one where a cat is being petted and when the petting stops...the cat actually gently taps the petter's arm to get petted again!
A few weeks ago Lucy started doing this...I was reading and absentmindedly petting her...when I stopped she gently reached for my arm to start petting again!
She has been doing this for a few weeks now but today...my clever little kitty added her own touch.
If I am not responding fast enough...she now gently bites me...to pet her more...
My question is this...did I teach her or did she teach me?
We have been told that Lucy's potential baby brother was born last Friday!!!
This is not him...he will have a similar look but hopefully less attitude.
Little Oliver Watson Whatever...our names have all gone out the window!
Purebred Tonks can come in all of these colors in the same litter...all we know is that there are 4 babies!
This could possibly be Lucy's most expensive cat toy!












We are going to take Lucy out to dinner to break the news gently...
TEASING...sort of!
We have no clue what we are doing about this kitten thing...floundering...I am sure!
New thought...
this feels like a post I have written before...OMG...am I losing it?
Let's blame it on "da noise".
