Weird Sun bathing Friday and a cat nap





       Rikki found a swathe of warm sunlight on the carpeting.





       Oops, I think I woke him up.



       Yawn stretch.

Weird Names Friday





       This is a picture of our first cats.   I chose their first names.   The black kitty was named Mocha Java, and the gray one was named Maxwell house, (we called her Max).   I guess I was really into coffee at the time.   Chris was in charge of the middle names and in usual (unusual) Chris style, he named them after foot problems.   Thus we have Mocha Java Bunion and Maxwell House Fungus.





       Fast forward about 12 years, to 1992.   We now have a new kitten and the kids are in charge naming him.   Five year old megan has chosen Sea Breeze, as she was in her little mermaid phase at that time.   Mechanical minded seven year old Ben has picked Electric Battery Recharger.   Thus we have Sea Breeze Electric Battery Recharger.   We just call him Bree.   Bree is now 17 years old!





       Did I mention that when Megan was three years old, she told me that she had named her feet “Pete” and “Footbear”?

Weird Nest Friday







       I found this nest in one of my tallest trees, in the back woods.   “It’s so huge, what bird would conceivably build a nest like that?”   My neighbor Jean had a answer for me.   “It’s a squirrel’s nest!” she replied.   I would have never guessed that.

Weird Queue Friday



       Just look at all those male Cardinals, waiting politely for their lady to finish eating.   What good manners they have!

Weird jumper friday



       Simone managed to jump to the top of the tallest piece of furniture in the house, and then had trouble figuring out how to get down.   I stood on a chair and tried to rescue her, but no, she didn’t like that idea at all and jumped down herself.

A Weird “What am I?” Friday



       My first weird object Friday post centered around this picture of a tribble.   I asked my readers to guess what it was.

       When I looked at this picture for the first time, it reminded me of my tribble, but it is not that.   So, what can this be?   Go ahead and guess if you like, and I will give the answer next time.

Weird finger pointing Friday



       This photo was taken in the early eighties, at my parent’s home.   Can’t you tell by the style of my glasses?   Anyway, What exactly are Chris and I looking at so seriously and who is pointing that stern finger ???  (I have no idea)

Weird Dress up







       Megan was three months old when we brought home two new kittens who were sisters.   We named them Kit and Fiver.   Megan loved to dress Kit up, and Kit was very accommodating.

Weird duct tape Friday



       I think Megan was 12 years old, the summer she entered a duct tape contest at the Forth of July festivities in Chesterland.   She won second place.

       First place went to two girls who both fashioned evening gowns from camoflage colored tape.   Third place went to a guy who duct taped his whole car!
