Potted Plant Obsession

Mindy says: No, I am not obsessed, mom is over-reacting......probably the stress of shopping and planning for Easter this weekend. Well, I am here to assist.




Mom really sweated putting up our Easter decorations - these six glass 'chicken' egg cups with wax candle 'eggs'.





In the lower left, do you see a spot of bright yellow? That's our lovely, bright potted plant fresh from the store.





This plant needed some expert arranging.




Oh, did I mention that it was also very tasty ...um, lovely?



There, that should do it!!




I really think mom should buy these delicious attractive potted plants more often. I wonder why she doesn't?

Happy Easter everyone!!

Mancat Monday with Moe

It's Mancat Monday. Yeah!

Rest and Recovery

BonBon says: Usually I am a content and happy mancat. Yesterday mombean noticed that I did not want my breakfast and I always eat breakfast. Later I was trying to get comfortable on the sunny windowsill and mom thought I might be chilled, so she got out the heating pad for me.



That was so nice and warm and I slept all day. I feel so much better now.



By early evening, I was hungry enough to eat supper in my usual spot. I am happy and mom is happy!

Sew, Sew Day

Moe: Yesterday it rained. Mom figured it was a good day for her to catch up on some sewing. Her neighbor doesn't sew at all, and wanted mom to hem two pairs of slacks for her.



Black is a difficult color to sew with and having to use black thread on black fabric on a dark and rainy day is almost impossible. We tried to tell her that. Also we suggested that it would be more rewarding to spend her time with us. Well, once mombean got started she wanted to get it over and done with so she went to get dadbean's fluorescent magnifying light to actually see where she was sewing.



We were going to supervise this task, but thought we could make better use of this time by napping.



Mindy: I agree, in fact, I was quite annoyed. Now if she was going to make us some new cat mats, that would be wonderful.

Easy on Sunday

Moe says:
This is what to do on Sunday.



However you spend Sunday, enjoy the day!

Just Chillin'

Here we are, taking it easy. We mancats are even in the same room.



......on the same bed, too!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Mike's Chair

Mike: Look what I found!



Mombean told me not to get too comfortable on da chair. She wants to drag it to the curb on Monday. Huh, what's wrong wif it? Besides having no chair legs or wheels and the arm rests are tattered - who needs them anyway? I am lying on the back of the chair, where there's more room to stretch out = perfect chair placement position. So comfy. It's a keeper, don't you think?

Get to Work Tuesday

Mindy: My day to blog. Today I am spending my precious time snoopervising. It's because mombean is going to paint Tallson's old bedroom.



This dark blue is very nice and has been on the walls a few years, but it suffers from nicks and scrapes since it was applied. Mom says a lighter color will make the room look bigger. Really? I am not the interior decorator, I just make sure the painting gets done, hopefully in as little time as possible. I like going in there, to have a nap, and not be disturbed.



She did get the primer on the walls.



Looks ugly, but it's done. Now I think I will take a break, this is hard work.



Mom is getting the new paint ready to apply.



I think I will stick around for a bit and make sure she stays on task and doesn't miss any spots. I am the 'missed spot' checker.



This is hard work, we could be here all day!

Mancat Monday

Bono says: It's a beautiful 'Mancat Monday', our snow from Friday is gone! The sun is out and it's going to warm up, so life is good and I'm on my way to pick out a sunny spot by the window

Not So Fine Friday

Mike says: Do you know what I woke up to today?



This is what greeted my eyes!! Is this a joke that the weather office is playing on us? Oh, yeah, it is April Fool's Day....it IS a joke....and April is starting off with a Nor'easter which is bringing with it - snow, freezing rain, high winds, followed by regular rain, possible thunder showers, ugh!



I'll do what I do best - take a nap and forget all about it!!
