Laid Back Weekend

Well it's hard to believe it's Sunday, let alone the end of June this week! Time sure is flying by. Haven't gotten anything creative done this weekend yet - seems I've been busy doing nothing except playing with Jonesy - he sure does love to play and tears around the house at full speed. If their was radar in the hallways - that boy sure would be getting ticketed!

Yesterday did some fun errands (yea right) Had to go to the pet store and stock up on cat food as Jonesy is eating us out of house and home - he's so darn funny - he'll go into the kitchen and sit by his bowl and meow in this tiny little "meow voice" - his face is just so funny you just have to scoop him up and hug him - then break down and put out more food! Then it was to the grocery store for people food and the most pleasant (gag) was to the phone store for a new cell phone for my husband! While I was out my BIL and SIL stopped over to see Jonesy - They wanted to take him home of course but my husband informed them they would be hunted down and tortured by me! hahahahaha. They haven't seen Riley for a bit and couldn't believe what a big boy he has become too. The rest of the day and today have been spent trying to get started on some hooking but it's really hard with a little kitten hanging off your linen! So i gave up!

Anyway I got a good nights sleep for a change last nite - I think the little guy is starting to know what it means when the lights go out!

Yesterday Miles didn't have such a good day - he wasn't feeling well and to put it bluntly, had a few complete barfarma's, and his hip was really bothering him.


Miles will be 16 this week on July 1st. Even though we call him grumblebunny with Riley and Jonesy he really is a wonderful kitty - he was the biggest clown up until a few years ago when he started slowing down. He is always there to give you a hug and massage you with his paw pads and so friendly with people - he just doesn't care for the 4-legged ones. He could make me laugh at his antics like no other cat I have had. I just love this guy to pieces. Anyway - we put on his heating pad all day and nite for him to get some relief and he seems much better today.

Hmmm, could the boys be looking at the neighbors female cat?

Hey guys, get a load at her stripes!


I'm watching you!

Around midnite last nite there was a bunch of rumbling between all the bedrooms sounding like there was a herd of elephants in the house - when it quieted down i came upstairs and there by the door to the hooking room I found Riley and inside the door I found Jonesy - Guess it was "time out" - Too funny

Hmmm, now why do I keep finding these piles of my wool on the floor all over the place?


Oooh ask me - I know, I know!

Hey Mom - can you please turn off the light - I need my beauty sleep you know!

Isn't it amazing at how just a kitten belly can bring a smile! Have a wonderful day!

Two Weeks of Fun Fun Fun....

Well it's been exactly two weeks since Jonesy has come to live with us. He is certainly part of the family and we never realized what fun we were missing without him! He's been such a good kitten and such a happy go lucky little guy. If you go out - the minute he hears a key in the door he's flying down the steps to greet you. He just loves to purr and loves to play. If he wants to be held he stands at your feet and "chirps". Really - it's a chirping sound. Also if he enters a room and you don't realize you are there he starts chirping to let you know he's there! He's just a funny guy!

I was away for a few days and on Thursday morning when i got home I couldn't believe how big he looked to me! He's really growing fast - I'm thinking he's going to be a big boy with the size of his paws! Who knows though. I'll keep him anyway!

Seems the only time I can get picks of him is when he's sleeping or eating. And boy does he eat - and eat - and eat - and eat some more! There is little puffs of smoke all over the house (just like the roadrunner leaves) he's forever buzzing all over the place. Wish I had an ounce of his energy.

Psst - Hey Jonesy, Mom needs up to take over on the laptop - she has to go do wash or something...

Uh oh - outta the way Jonesy - Guess I don't know my own strength!

Oh finally a sunbeam - gotta soak it up when we can - the sun is a rare sighting these days...

Isn't it convenient Dad put this piece of cardboard on the plant - makes a good bed when there are sunbeams and keeps the dirt off my paws. I can't image any other reason why he would put it here - can you?

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - Where'd the sun go?

OMG Miles - look at that - he's eating AGAIN! He's going to look like a water bed with a head soon!

Well I'm off to take a nap...

Oh yea - I really need a nap...

Isn't a pile of wool just the bestest to sleep in?

Hey how'd he get in that rack?

I don't get it - this doesn't seem so comfortable...

Kiss, Kiss...

Just got done fishing with Dad - it's exhausting work...

Time for my energy bar...

Time for second breakfasties....

Bathtime again...

I'm not really sleeping, I'm just resting my eyes...

Okay okay - maybe I was sleeping...

Me and Riley "resting" our eyes again...

Riley makes the bestest pillow - he's so round and soft!

Uh oh - busted - I think Miles found Dad's beer stash...

Okay off to find me some food - it's been a WHOLE FIVE MINUTES since I've eaten! I'm a growing boy you know!

Father's Day, Mom's Birthday, and Of Course Kitty Pics!

Today is Father's Day and on Tuesday it will be my Mom's 79th birthday so I went over to visit today.

Found my Dad watching the "game" in the sun room -

Here's my Dad opening his Father's Day gift -

Here's my Mom who just opened her birthday gift and was telling some story or another. I'm thinking she wasn't feeling to well even though she didn't admit to it - She is never ever in her "lounge" clothes during the day - she's usually in her "street" clothes always looking like she's going out and with shoes (a far cry to the way i sit around the house! LOL) So I was surprised since it was just the middle of the afternoon! LOL!

One of my Mom's gift was this silly vase I made her - hey - I'm calling it recycling! I took an old large jar and ripped strips of homespuns and cottons into 1 1/4" strips and modpodged them onto the jar - it's scrappy and prim - not as bright as in the pic - and I called it a "vase" - bought her a couple of bunches of flowers to fill it up! She liked it she said.

Well as most of you know - it's been a week on Friday since I adopted Jonesy and he's been such a joy. He's so much fun to watch and to play with - and still sooo happy. This weekend he's been napping more than normal - I think perhaps he's doing some growing - he seems to be bigger already in front of my eyes! He and Riley play together and wrestle and look like their fighting but next moment they are wrapped up together snoozing! Miles has been laying on his heating pad most of the weekend to ease his hip pain - it really helps him. My husband got his "Woodstock" 4 dvd set anniversary set in the mail and spent the weekend in the basement watching the whole thing - not like he hasn't seen everything already but according to him it is loaded with new footage! He's too much with his "music" stuff but what can I say - I don't have enough wool or shoes! So it's been a fairly quiet weekend. I will be going away for a few days tomorrow morning (so Debbie you will get your wish - no Jonesy pics for a few days LOL) to spend some time with some friends and my husband is off for the week and will be home with the kitties. I know I'm going to come home and Jonesy will look bigger to me! (He just better remember me! LOL - I will miss them!)

So here are a few pics from the weekend that Jonesy wanted to share! (He is actually sitting here on my knee staring at the computer screen - he's too much!

Well here it is Sunday nite and it's dark outside already - where did the weekend go????

Here are me and my two brothers eating dinner tonite - Dad called us the three cannibals! We each have our own bowls but Mom says I'm like Goldilocks (whoever she is) and have to taste from all bowls)

Time for a nap!

When Riley walks by I'm going to pretend he's a horse and go for a ride!

Here's Riley and I wrestling around the scratching post!

Hey Riley - this is how you duck and roll under the chair - Sometimes I have to show him how to do things!

Riley thinking he's hiding behind the post! Hahahaha I sees him -

Finally for a few hours the sun came out - Riley and I are soaking up the rays - gotta darken our stripes. Riley is taking another bath - he takes so many baths - he's so clean he squeaks - he's forever giving me a bath too! Geez....

Take that you lobster - and that and that and that.....

Oh man Mom caught me chewing on her tree - geez what's wrong with that

Mom won't find me under the desk here - after she leaves the room I'm going back to taste that tree again....

Decided to try two things at once - playing with my toy and taking a nap...

Spent this weekend trying out different sleeping accommodations - this one would be really cool if only we could get some more sun...Mom says in a few weeks I won't fit between the basket and the shelf - well i will show her - i'll find a way to fit!

I don't think Riley knows I'm hiding in the wool pile - one of my favorite napping places

Hope everyone had a fun weekend and got to play! I sure did!
