Terrible Tuesday

Well Persephone and I have recovered from our party. Our peoples though...


It was terrible, everycat!!! My OTW was so stressed out when she got up the next day she disappeared into the bathroom and refused to come out for a squillion hours!! When we finally howled her out, her hair had turned purple and green!!!


She got a blister from all the typing and posting! (No, really, that just happened! The candy canes are from last Christmas. They buy lots because she gets cranky if she can't have candy canes in July.)


And the Big One? He was last seen wandering around the local supermarket, wearing a fish on his head!!!


I caught my OTW in a Furry Little Leghold Trap so she couldn't leave, just in case!


Someperson has to fill the kibble bowl and clean the litterbox!!


PS. From the OTW: For those of you who were keeping my aunt (who was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer) in your prayers, I heard from my mam on Sat that Tante Anneke passed away in her sleep early Fri morning (Netherlands time). While her passing was sad, it was probably a relief at that point. Anneke still recognized her family, but was very weak. As I mentioned before, I'm fine. I haven't met my Tante Anneke since I was 1 1/2yrs, and the only contact over the years were birthday cards which ceased many years ago. My mam is with her 3 surviving siblings in Holland (as well as an enormous great lot of nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews), who are supporting each other.

Dinner and Tour


The Chef is beginning to prepare dinner, so why don’t we take a tour while there’s still light, for anycat or anydog who wants? There’s still be nibbles on the table until dinner.








I’m sorry we don’t have a wonderful fall foliage display, but fall is very short here, only a week or two, and it was a couple weeks ago. Worse, it was a windy week and all the leaves blew off as soon as they turned so we never got a display at all this year!

Hey! I don't like going out much other than on my balcony, 'cause it reminds me too much of when I lived under a BBQ. Anycat wanna help me knock over this tin and score some nip?



Ok guys, lights are going fast here so we're going to do our quick whip around tour of the lookout spots. The humans should all have left by now, so we won't scare them. Watch out though because my OTW says it's very windy on the hills!











We do have a little bit of yellow left. But just yellow. The only trees that grow wild this far north are birch and pine.

We'll go to Judas hill next. There's more yellow leaves there. You can see the hill in the 4th picture.

Ok, last tour! This is Judas hill! We'll take a quick look and home for dinner, which should be about ready to serve!











Dinner is Served!!!

We have roasted turkey (we missed turkey on our Thanksgiving, ‘cause my peoples didn’t think it was worth it for just two people)


Roast Duck


Honey Baked Ham

My OTW says by the end of this party she’s going to need this kind of turkey!

We have Cheesecake!


A Fruit Tray for anycat who eats fruit


An Ice Cream Witch!


Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, who just want a little ice cream, nothing fancy.
