Just a Peek and "The Tomato"

The family re-union went great and I snapped a couple of pics there. I don`t know whether family members would want their pictures on the internet so I`ve left those out....
The first is Elvis making his rounds to see what`s on everyones plate.
"Okay...lets see who I can make feel sorry for my hungry tummy"...

My Aunt Rita`s little dog Nicky. Isn`t that patch cute?

This is the third tomato to appear in the house, unpicked by human hands....

Just look at those teeth marks for a clue...

Is that a guilty look or what?

"Yeah...okay. I admit it. I did it.But it wasn`t ripe enough to hide the evidence, Mum"

Thanks to all you guys for your nice comments and wishes! Hope everyone has a great weekend. It`s a long one here in Canada. We call it Labour Day Weekend. Last days of summer sadly and the kids go back to school on Tuesday.
Next weekend we`re having a bonfire party here. Looking forward to it and hoping the weather is as nice as this weekend.

On a tragic last note....Let our hearts go out to the family of the 25 year old mother that got hit and killed on the 401 yesterday after managing to rescue her child from the car after a transport truck hit it. When she returned to the car, she was then struck from behind by a second transport truck. Her 3 year old daughter witnessed it. How absolutely horrifying.

**** Just a little note to say that I won`t be posting for a bit. We have another family reunion, birthday gathering and a bonfire party to get ready for. So I need to get all my sewing done beforehand inbetween work etc. I promise to do the two memes at some point that I`ve been appointed :)

"A Rather Old Man and His Fur Coat" by The Cat That Would Be Heard

Well here I am. I must say, it has been awhile since I`ve put my paw to type. My sincere apologies to you all. Unabashedly I shall say that Ive gone into retirement, yet find myself feeling an old urge pulling me t`wards the keys. No memories this time, but a tale of pure embarassment. The difference will be, I`m sorry to say ( forgive me, mistress) tis my own embarassment this turn, not my dear mistress as you shall shortly view. Why would I subject myself to baring my humiliation to all, you might wonder? For lack of anything much else to say I`m afraid really.
If you have not had the pleasure of meeting me ago, please feel free to, by magic of the internet, point your mouse here....ahhhhhhhhh mouse...such memories that word brings me of long ago days, hunting in the fields. But I digress...point your mouse here if you are at all curious to know this old blighter http://teaandmargaritas.blogspot.com/2006/09/let-me-introduce-myself-by-cat-that_14.html

Yes....here I am having one of my usual and quite frequent naps these days. Twenty being ninety three in your human years. All of a sudden I was asaulted with a comb. As you may have noticed, my fur is no longer as smooth and shiny as it once was. Ah yes, I was quite handsome in my younger days. But now to my great disdain, I am but a shadow of my former glory, thin and covered with the most bothersome and rather shabby and matted fur coat.

But alas, praise be, I am still quite healthy and tend to be much more affectionate in these twilight years. Ahhhhh, that did feel very nice indeed....

I will admit that a nice combing under the chin was quite as good as a rub...

But hark, things quickly began to deteriorate....

I found myself feeling quite edgey about all the hair coming out...

Thankfully the mistress realized this as well and left the other half for another day. Now, why is this such an embarassment you might ask? If per chance, you had this much of your own precious hair sitting in a pile on the floor, would not your own sensibilities be affected?


So, there you have it. I have settled my inner urge to write, be it wanting in any good quality or no. It is done and now I shall go back and retire to my chair and bid you all, if God but choose "voor wij weerleggen weer" or "until we meet again."

Dah! Too early in the morning that I did this. Below my last post please see who the two awards go to :)
