Thank you!
I am now owned by 2 kittens..They are permanent residents now..
I have had my daughter and 9 visiting kitties here for 3 weeks..SIL had so much traveling to do that he came and spent the night on the way to another city this week before coming to move them all back home yesterday ..They were without power for two of the weeks they were here..Their Ike damage proved to be a opportunity for a rare long visit.

Oh yes!! She is very strong willed.

In the summer, I took her to see Will E and we saw the trailer for the Chichuahua movie. She asks at least once a week when we can go see it.

Marissa has had a couple of disagreements with a kid or two at school regarding McCain vs Obama. I think I will buy her a Palin T-Shirt.

I want her to stand by her principles but I’m not sure about the Palin shirt. Right now, she is into Hanna Montana. Wonder if they have any Piper shirts?

Just got back from a long walk with my dog. It’s gorgeous out. The autumn has the nicest weather. Tomorrow we will try to get to the beach.

Missy had a day to rest, glad she wasn’t sick. :) We have to get our flu shots next week.

Kitty, we are the only locale... southern California... that is home to non-migratory hummingbirds. Ours, the Anna’s hummingbird, is here all year long. What a blessing. I’m glad you got to see your migrating ones:-).

I haven’t caught up with you, but think I saw in another of your posts that you now do a lot of travelling during the week and the business is still afloat. God bless you and your family as you make these adjustments.

I am glad I kept the kittens, too..I have been busy kitten proofing..and moving back to my room...
I spend more time with the cats than I do getting needed things done..LOL

I hope their house had no damage. Must have been a nice visit but not good circumstances. And what fun having 9 Cats at one time! I’d love that. :) Enjoy your sweet kittens!

Meg, I had no idea you had THAT many kittens staying with you. That had to be non-stop zaniness:o). Fun for a while, but then.....

2 sounds just right:) Beautiful greeting from you today.

Thanks, Dita.

I picked that one because it was colorful and I loved that the animals were included.

I will do the graphic sometime tomorrow. think about words you might like on it

can be very personal .. like Missy hearts Piper etc

I can email you drafts & you can look & you *& m decide on what words

will be sending final copy of big file, lotsa pixels as it will give you a better transfer.

If you have never done them prior, you can buy them at office max for a pkg of 25 for about 25 dollars. Cannot use Laser color printer.. must use ink jet

Marissa never gets a flu shot but doc said hubby and I should get ours early November. The flu usually hits California in December, January and February. Also said if we wait that it would still be effective in the spring.

We are planning to go the first week of November.

Hope you make it to the beach. Have fun.
