Thought of the day

"To err is human, to purr is feline." Robert Byrne

Maaaa, he's done it again!

Wow. When I take a picture of Rockport's Front Beach, it looks like this:

And this, my dears, is the difference between an amateur and a Photographer.

My family

This is my family. How do we know it's my family? Easy. Four people have a book in their hands.

In my family, we read. And when we're not reading, we take pictures of each other taking pictures.




Lots of books. Lots of pictures.

Then we blog about it.

A Fix of Ocean

Contrary to appearances, I am alive and kicking... just came back from a few days by the ocean in New England. Will blog more soon...

A Happy Birthday!

Today, one of my dearest friends turns 42. So I printed 8 copies of this sign:



And I taped them in all the windows, windshield and rear window of his van. Nice and bright where everywhere could see them. All day.

I hope he appreciates how much I care about his safety... I'm just one of those very caring persons.

It's a blueberry kind of day

A friend has generously given me two huge bowls of the most delicious blueberries on earth. Loukhi has confirmed they were good. Oh where is my sister-in-law? She would do all kinds of scrumptious miracles with those. Me... well, I just eat them. C'est délicieux et nutritif, moi personnellement je trouve. (Last sentence is a wink to my brother)





Meanwhile, Chinook is still very busy being cute.

The business of being cute

On doing nothing

Aaah... vacations... farniente... I leisurely sip my coffee... then all I have to do is feed the cats, change their water, do the dishes from yesterday, clean the litter boxes, take a shower, clean the guinea pig's cage, take the garbage out, change the sheets on my bed and take more pictures of Chinook for this blog 'cause he's really cute and vacuum... that's all.

He's clearly having a hard time adapting.

This is Chinook

Still fits in one hand. Purrs a lot. Must stick his face AGAINST mine at night to go to sleep. Do you know how TICKLISH whiskers are in your nose or your mouth? Highly popular with the humans. Not so much with the cats yet.

He doesn't replace Pasha. He only carries on where Pasha left.
