Offline for a Bit

Our beans are going away again. A family member has died after a short illness. It is dad bean's brother-in-law. We will be back blogging as soon as we can get our beans to assist us when they gets back.

Before we go, we want to show you a couple of pictures of the cat-next-door. Angel really dislikes winter so he stays inside a lot and instead loves to curl up on his beans' guest bed.....it is lovely and comfortable and just right for a fifteen year old mancat. Mom couldn't resist these pictures and she begged us to allow her to share them with everyone. We agreed as long as this does NOT become a habit. We know you all would really like to hear all about US.

Do ya wanna know what really 'lights my fire'??



It's dis very saucy red squirrel. It had the nerve to actually come up to da window and look in at me. That tasty morsel has more nerve than sense......although it still didn't work out in MY favour.




If there were not two panes of glass between us.....just think of it!! Mom was wondering why my tail was thumping the wall so hard.



If it ever finds a way inside, or if I gets out, den da chase will be on!!

Our Beans were Away

It's me - Mindy - and I'm doing the blog today. Our beans went away for da weekend. It was dad bean's birthday.



They went to stay at a lodge. There were lots of people there and lots of bunnies. The bunnies live around the lodge and guests at the lodge can get small bags of complimentary rabbit pellets to feed all of them.




They are very well fed!

























Mom liked this very purrty bunny.



This picture of the ocean waves was taken in front of the lodge. It was very cold there on the weekend.



This is a picture of a tower at the lodge which was built a long time ago. It has been updated on the inside and is very comfortable. Mom likes to take pictures of towers I think.



Here is another tower picture. Mom says it's a lighthouse and has a light at the very top. It is not far from where they stayed.



Mom had to take a picture of a fire hydrant painted to look like a guardsman. Beans are very funny sometimes! She found it in a nearby town.



We were very happy when our people got home from wandering around the countryside. Happy Birthday dad bean, hope you had fun, too.

Friday Fotos

Random pictures of us. Oh, and one of da squirrel. We say one of........cause der's more out dare. This one was brave enough to parade around on our deck. Wanted his picture took.






Notice - no snow on da railing - wind and rain melted most of it.

Thankful Thursday

We're thankful we are not living outside any more. We have a cozy home. Outside it is stormy. First it snowed and then came wind and rain.








Snow on our deck


The wind is noisy and there is lots of rain now. The snow is wet and heavy and not pretty anymore. Here is picture before the rain.

Mancat Monday

Even though I really like my naps, I must keep watch. Both inside and especially outside in da yard. Today I watched, and it was a good thing that I was. Can you see me here? I am not happy at all.


















Grrrrr, I see the invader, checking out MY yard. That will not do at all.

























I think that cat got the message........scram!

Friday Facts

We have been tagged bySunny for Tigmut’hep’s Three New Things About Me Meme.

It's nice and simple, all you need to do is tell everyone 3 things that are new with you! Link it back to me and the purrson who gave it to you and pass it on to 3 more kitties you'd like to know more about! :)

So here goes, the 3 things that are new with us are:

#1 A new cat bed that our mom made for us. It is made from a recycled sweatshirt of hers. The polyfilling came from a pillow we no longer use. Its mattress is also some recycled foam. We really like it, especially, since mom put it near a window for us.

#2 We have two, count 'em, two MEGA bags of Temptations and one is a new flavour to us.... we are already enjoying, heh.

#3 This week the two of us napped on the same sofa!

There you go! Now we are tagging:

Diva Kitty & The Fluffies
Gandalf & Grayson


Here is our new cat bed!

I am testing out the new bed.


I like the new bed too!

Thursday Winter Woes

It started snowing again on Tuesday night. So Wednesday morning mom shoveled. In the afternoon it snowed some more and then started to rain. Mom thought she better get out and shovel again. Yep, in da rain. She thought it might freeze on the walkways and be slippery. Here is a photo before she went out for da second time.......at least it stays light enough to shovel until 6:00 pm now.


Now it's Thursday and we are only supposed to get about an inch of snow today. We're guessing da shovel will be out again. We decided we will nap while mom is busy.



Moe is taking his nap on da sofa and I'm on da chair next to the sofa.....you know.....not TOO close, heh,heh.




We are fortunate though it was only snow and rain and we didn't have the deadly tornadoes that went across Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. We feel very bad for the victims.

Tuesday Toes

Here are my lovely toes. Well, okay, not 'just' my toes.

....and here are Moe's toes
