Well, now, who’s fault is it there isn’t enough food in the dish to get through the night? That’s criminal in a kitteh’s lil mind. LOL

I do how we’ve kept from getting sick so far. Warm one day, frigid the next. We’ve been lucky.

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Still enjoying nice weather for trips to the lake? Gizmo running you ragged while you’re there? :-)

[luvie]

Yeah...it mysteriously disappears from the time I hit the pillows till he really REALLY needs that hole filled at 3am. LOL!

I guess I’d better go pretty soon. I’m trying not to stay up till 3am. At least I start out early and then thrash around till 3 instead of 4.

I sure hope you get a break from the chill pretty soon. Having soggy grocery bags is not a good thing. Ugh.

[radu]

We have the same problem here. The dry food dish is large and it’s full when I go to bed. I know if it’s empty when I wake up because the hall is full of cats waiting for me to walk out of the bedroom. LOL

No soggy grocery bags this week. Today was shopping day and it was dry. Just cold.

I hope you were able to let Ginger in without Peaches slipping in too! Catch ya tomorrow.

[E.G.C.]

Weather's nice this morning. Upper 40-lower 50's.

Gizmo did a little running but not as much as the last few days.

[luvie]

He was right behind her. sigh

G’nite! :)

[radu]

That sounds pretty good right now. It’s 32 here and wasn’t much warmer yesterday or Tues. We were in the teens 24 hours ago.
They keep saying we’ll warm up but we’re still waiting for it.

[radu]

Oooooooh MAN! Rotten luck. Good luck getting a good night’s sleep.

[SkyDancer]

Good Morning Kathy! (((HUGS))) Yeah, finally. Saw the moon this morning for the first time. Hoping for a nice skydive weekend.

I’ve gotten my car back, all fixed, but now i will have to pay a surcharge on my insurance due to the little fender-bender I got into. (Sigh)

That’s Massachusetts for ya.

Today is crispy and cold.

[luvie]

Gooood mornin', Early Birds!
Or good afternoon for you in the East.
Hope all of you are having a great day!
....and that you take time to think of our troops!
The weekend is nearly here!
I know y'all are ready!
((((hugs))))
