Those Darn Cats

Simba and Nala (Sissy) joined our family 6 years ago.  So many have shared about their cats and I thought I'd share our story of them.  You see, they are not the first cats we have had.  First there was Weber who we rescued from a bird's nest in our spruce tree.  She was independent and not very personable but we loved here nonetheless.  Before she passed Sam came to live with us.  He was a real mouser!  Literally caught them and brought them to us so we could praise him.  (Moles were left on our back step before he came in for the night.

On one occasion, when we were remodeling the kitchen, Sam felt it his duty to check out the workmanship of the cabinets.  LOVE that cat!  Sadly Weber died of cancer and Sam died of a blood clot.  

That brings me to Simba and Nala.  A young lady I worked with had two kitens, brother and sister.  She as always sharing tales about them.  But one day she came to work saying she was going to have to find a new home for them because her husband was found to be allergic to cats.  She was willing to separate them as she had to find the home soon.  Well, I couldn't see separating brother and sister and so we now have them and they are a delight.  Simba is the active and curious one.  Nala (Sissy) is the lazy, sleepy cat!  Love them both!!

He's such a clown!!

She's so layed back!

Love this brother and sister.

Clouds

Clouds are a wonder

Tender blanket of our earth

Heaven come to earth

~~~~~~~

It's good to reflect on the glory of the sky and the clouds that often surround us.  More often than not they cover the sun and keep us without the warmth the sun offers.  But they are sculpted by the angels to keep us from becoming complacent and taking them for granted.

Christmas, It's Almost Here

 

~~~~~~~

It's such a pleasure to walk about downtown Newburgh.   The windows are lovely, the city hall is all decorated and all the old buildings look new.  Christmas does that for me.  So many things look new.

~~~~~~~

And then there are the fun yard "guests" that brighten the day. . .even the Grinch is a friend.  Snoopy and Woodstock are such characters.  Santa is always there to offer just the right amount of cheer!!

I do love the lovely old and regal houses.  They offer warmth and festivity to all who pass by.  There is the Giving Wall.  One of the residents has offered gloves, hats, and food to any one who is in need and it is such a heart warming gesture that others in the neighborhood  have contributed to the Wall.  I think that's what's meant by "good will to all [people]."  And with that I wish all a very Merry Christmas!!!
