Kitty Check ups, Amber Time, Lunch Date With Brenda and More Kitty Pics!

Wednesday I puttered around the house just keeping things tidy.

I absolutely love to putter! The house is all clean (more or less) so I'm just happily going about doing the upkeep. Putting in a load of laundry. Wiping down the kitchen counters. Emptying wastebaskets.

I even out the ironing board up and pressed all my white pants and skirts.

I have made peace with wrinkles and do not mind if I am not wearing a pressed and/or creased outfit anymore. However, I thought a little pressing would be a good thing and watched a Diagnosis Murder while I ironed.

Then  I ate a quick salad and headed to Dallas to meet up with Amber.

This was the day to take four felines to the vet!

3 kittens (from the same litter) and Bandit - Mike's adult male cat who has surprisingly bonded very well with this little Ginger Girl!

I envisioned a whole Suburban filled with 8 year olds and all the cats plus Amber and me.

Not so! Mike was home and Amber left the kids with snacks, a movie and all the things to make some sweet little bracelets!

So it was just the two of us and our felines!

Amber and Mike love thier vet and encouraged Ben and me to use him for our new kittens.

Keeping it all in the family so to speak.

All the girl kittens are from the same litter and Ben's kitten is just two days older than ours.

The staff came out to the vehicle and took the cats in and then brought them back out to us.

Amber and I enjoyed sitting in the air conditioned car with sun screens up sipping our teas and visiting and reading magazines! Now that's the way to do it!

Everyone got a good report!

Miss Tabitha weighed in at an even 3 pounds.

No ear mites.

No worms.

No fleas.

Miss Samantha is a bit smaller at 2.6 pounds.

I believe Miss Ginger is even a little smaller yet while old man Bandit came in at 13 heavy pounds!

We dropped the cats off back at the Bell's and Amber and I went to Starbucks for some fancy tea and vanilla scones before hitting up Hobby Lobby. She needed some things for making jewelry and I needed a few art supplies - Liquin, Pink Soap and Windsor-Newton Olive Green oil paint.

That is one of my favorite paints and CAN be mixed but I prefer the tube.

I did not find Permalba White so I'll order that online.

Back to the Bells and Amber made a delicious dinner!

I mixed up a nice salad while she roasted carrots, made green pasta, garlic breadsticks and baked salmon.

It was a meal to remember and we ate at their new dining room table!

This was my first time to see it since it was covered with birthday things the last time I was here.

It was dark when I got home but I had my night driving glasses on and besides that - I know the way by heart and it is well lit!

I came in and visited a few minutes with Louis Dean and then I  acted like a husband.

I said goodnight and went to bed.

Period. No making coffee and emptying the dishwasher.

No picking up and putting up on my way.

I walked in and went to bed.

Not even a glass of wine!

And I slept the deepest and longest sleep I have slept in quite awhile!

Asleep by 11:00 and up by 11:20 this morning!

Now I did get up a few times in the night and at 9:00 I went in to turn on the coffee.....

Louis Dean told me he would fix it before he went to bed .....but he forgot.

I started to do it but was so dead headed I turned around and went back to bed and slept over 2 more hours!

When I did get up, he was still asleep so I fixed the coffee and watered the kitchen garden while it made. By then he was up so I took one cup back to bed and did my prayer time before making up the bed and getting dressed.

I ran out of the house like my hair was on fire!

Today was my monthly lunch date with Brenda!

Finally!! Fuzzy's Tacos was open and we ate outside!

My margarita was excellent and after I took this one pic - Brenda and I were off and running with conversation and I never had another thought about taking our picture as I usually do!

Brenda went back to the office ( and I cannot WAIT for her to retire!) while I went to Target!

I bought new kitten food for Samantha and Tabitha and they love it!

They didn;t have the litter things I was looking for so I came home with something else this time.

They are so cute and we are having so much fun with them!

I've been working on a quilt for Chandy's son, Piercyn, and sewed a good while on that before going out in the front yard to work on the bed that curves around the driveway.

It was so overgrown......and we have been whacking away at it!

I should have taken before and after pics......but too late now.

This little girl was watching from the den window!!

I'm so glad we got these two little kittens!!

Summer arrived back home from a short beach trip with her friend, Karen.

I have been missing her and she had not met the kittens yet so I talked her into coming over for a night or two.

Isn't she cute???

She's still working out the kinks of trying to get it charged without staying in one very awkward position for a long length of time. The charging of the thing is the biggest problem right now.

This is the back of Summer's shirt!

She bought it at Buckee's on the way to Galveston!

She brought back some peaches and strawberries so she's making us a dessert of angel food cake, fruit and cool whip!

Then I am going out to finish my watering before going to bed.

All is right in my world tonight!
