Last Night I

The coffee this meowning needs to be powerful
Full of magic
Nothing like it in the world

Last night I got no sleep
Ok, maybe a wink or two
But seriously what the heck

Rain, More Rain,
Oh let's get a bit louder
Pouring, Hill sides coming down
kind of pouring
Cats, dogs, all on the bed
I knew I should have gotten a King
instead of a Queen
That was my h's decision
Oh no we don't need that size
Right, yes we do

This meowning I feel like I survived
the battle of all battles
The storm that wasn't lost
I'm worn out
And the day has just begun

Bark Anyone ?

After last weekend and a couple of days this week,
I have decided that I need HELP.
A few phone calls and emails later,
I have a couple of leads on
Yard Landscapers.

(I need trees pulled, weeds dug up,
bark put out, trim this tree,
put in that one, you get the idea)

One is showing up in an hour
and the other does lots of the yards
in my neighborhood.
I'm going to see him next week.
Both have names and accents that I can't understand
but if they know how to weed, bark and mow
and find my once upon a time bricks
that line my yard,
they can have the job.
(course I'll be hoping for the best price)

I tried to cut this and that.
Pull that weed and cut that vine.
I hurt in places I didn't even know existed.
I tried to hire my two teenagers.
They declined.
(can we all say spoiled rotten brats together in a very loud voice)

Hard work is only for me, I guess.
Thus, I'm going to pay someone
LOTS of money to make my view nicer.
Oh, I mean the Purr & Fur Gang's view.
I hope to get them to put in a nice rose garden for me.
Wouldn't that be fun ...

Mondays with Meredith Ann


Meredith Ann helping with the puzzle

It's Monday Meowning with Meredith Ann
Not a bad way to start the day
She came with me to our beach house
She doesn't mind traveling
And, she needs to feel like a special kitty
So, in the carrier she goes
Sitting on my lap
Mewing every once in a while

She loves the beach house
She comes alive there
Here she is mostly in the bedroom / bathroom area
Getting braver everyday though
It's her brother, Riley, that causes trouble
I carried her downstairs this meowning
She is watching bird tv in the living room

The road trip went well
I posted a few of the back seat photos
Not bad for going fast in farmland

My son actually liked two of the schools
One is small and one is not
Either one would be great
Now, to apply and get in

Mr. Boatman took the week off
He and the son drove us
I was in the back with all the extra stuff
Was fun to see the other side
of the Mountains
Where it snows and is hot
We got the rain and the wind
even a bit of snow going home
Driving over the pass

Yesterday we took it easy
Had a pre made meal from Costco
Mr. Boatman has a cold
and I was busy doing
laundry

Today it is quiet
and my 'to do' list

And, as my daughter says,
Peace Out
And, I think I will

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
