Tuxie Tuesday and a Mim-may Update

It was hot and sticky here in New Hampster yesterday and the weather guys say it will be like that all week. The recliner in the sewing studio is a comfy and cool place to nap, so I am hanging out here.

Mim-may came through surgery with flying colors and she could go home very soon. She has two screws in her hip, and the surgeon said, "That's going to hurt."  Mim-may says it does, but it's better than the alternative.

Ask me how I know this.




(for those that do not know, I have a titanium rod in one of my legs after it got broken when I was hit by a car.)

Mim-may Monday

Hey gang, I need your help.

Mim-may fell last night and has a little fracture in her hip. Now Mim-may is a Geezer bean, so this is a big deal. She will be having surgery later today, and the hoo-man v-e-t-s will put a couple of screws in her bones to hold them together. She'll be in the hoo-man stabby place for about a week, and if all goes well she'll be home in a week. If you could send a purr-ayer her way, I'd be most grateful.

Thank you.

Happy Anniversary Mim-may & Pip-pay

Before we look outside, I want to concatulate Mim-may and Pip-pay on their 28th anniversary. Mom and I visited yesterday and gave them some green papers to use to have some fun. Mom says they will go to Cotton. I hope they use it to get lots of BEEF, because that's the best.

 The snow is still here, and tomorrow, finally, the When When Contest will start in earnest.

I can't wait!

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday Mim-may!

Today is Mim-may's birthday. I can't tell you how old she is, but it's a big number, and it has an "0" in it. Here is Mim-may eating the lunch Mom made when they visited the Flume on Monday.

Mim-may loves Mom's cooking, as you can see.

Happy Birthday Mim-May!

Happy Anniversary Mim-may & Pip-pay!

Happy Anniversary Mim-may and Pip-pay! Today they have been married 27  26  years. (I think. That's a very big number, and I am only a cat. Hey look, Mom can't count either.) That's Mim-may on the left and Pip-pay on the right with Rubylocks and Mr Karate between them.

The snow is still out there.

Drat.

O My Bast!

Mom got home from her day hunting gig last night and fed me my wonderful stinky goodness. Then Mim-may and Pip-pay came over for dinner and brought Missy-the-Woofie.

While I was napping in a stack of Mom's fabric, Missy-the-Woofie ate all my stinky goodness! She ate all my crunchies and she even slept in one of my favorite napping spots!!!!!

I felt like Goldilocks!

The NERVE!!!






Mom refilled my bowls after Missy-the-Woofie left, but let me tell you, THAT's not gonna happen again!!

Taking the Cake Tuesday

Mom gifted Mim-may and Pip-pay with this quilt, and YES, I did make sure to cover it nicely with my furs beforehand.Several of you suggested Mom bake her birthday cupcakes someplace other than here, and that's exactly what she's going to do. Mim-may's entire house is air-colditioned, so Mom is going over there on Wednesday to bake her Red Velvet Cupcakes.

Mim-may had only one request.

That she and Pip-pay each get a cupcake when Mom is finished.

Happy Anniversary Mim-may & Pip-pay!

Happy Anniversary to Mim-May and Pip-pay! They are two of my most favoritest human beans in the whole world, and have been married... uh, um... twenny... twenny-two... ah... twenny-three years? A long time.
Clementine, you are not a lucky cat. It snowed here yesterday! You did not win the When When Contest.

Monday

Mom went to a butterfly place yesterday. (I was not invited. I'm still hiding in all the cool spots.) She saw many butterflies and took many pictures. The butterflies were too fast for her most of the time. But not always. This one, an Emerald Swallowtail, is from Southeast Asia and was about 3" across.

Mim-may is home, happy, and resting. That's a really good thing. Thanks for all your purrs and purr-ayers!

Birthday Update!

Happy Birthday, Mim-may!

This is Mr Karate and Mim-may. Mim-may is feeling much better, and will get to go home later today if her blood passes a test. (Dunno how blood can take a test...)

Mim-may is coming home today!

After Mom took this picture, Mr Karate said, "Mim-may, why don't you get dressed?" So she did. Here are the Red Velvet Cupcakes that Mom made for the party. Mim-may passed them around to the nurses on the floor, and Mim-may's doctor even came by and had one!Mr Karate brought Mim-may some flowers. Me, I'm not big on flowers (I prefer 'Nip), but even I can see this is a hum-dinger of a bouquet. Mim-may was very happy.
A good time was had by all, and it will be a birthday party nobody will ever forget!

(from left, Mr Karate, Mim-may, Mom, Pip-pay.)

As for me... I'm fine. I'm camping out in all the cool places and not letting Mom take pictures of me!

Heh.

Bad News, Good News

The Bad News came early yesterday. Mim-may had a blood clot in each lung! This is very serious indeed. It meant Mim-may would be staying in the hospital for at least two more days.

She called Mom yesterday afternoon, "When you come, could you please bring me something decadent?"

Mom knew JUST what to bring to Mim-may. Some Evil Little Chocolates.

The Good News came after dinner last night. They were moving Mim-may from the Cardiac ICU to a different part of the hospital where Mim-may didn't have to wear a wire all the time.

Yippee!

Today is Mim-may's birthday! Mom has made some Red Velvet Cupcakes (pictures to follow) and the Family will gather at the hospital later today to celebrate. We'd all rather she was home with Pip-pay and Missy-the-Woofie, but it's okay.

Happy Birthday Mim-may!

Mim-may Update

Thank you so much for purring for Mim-may. Mim-may is taking medicine to dissolve that nasty clot, and the doctors say she is doing well, but they want to keep her so they can watch her.

Mom went to see her at the hospital yesterday. Mim-may would much rather be at home (who wouldn't!) but considering the alternative, it's okay. She says she has things to do!

Mom brought her some magazines and a book to read, and anything else she needs, Mom will get for her.

Mom wanted a Red Velvet Cake for her birthday, and she and Mim-may decided that they would celebrate both their birthdays this coming Saturday (Mim-may's birthday).

If Mim-may is still in the hospital on Saturday, Mom will make Red Velvet Cupcakes and bring them to the hospital. The family (including Auntie Karate, PlusOne, Mr Big, Pip-pay, Mr Karate and Mom) will go to one of the hospital's lounges and have the party.

I'm still gonna purr. If my Mom loves her Mom the way I love Mom, that's a lot, and I want Mim-may to get better REAL soon!

Purr-ayers Please!

Millie's Mom, Lynne here. This is my mother. She's been tired a lot lately and went to her doctor yesterday for some tests. Turns out she has a pulmonary embolism and was admitted to the hospital last night, where she will likely stay a few days. It's good she's in the best place possible. It sucks she'll be in the hospital. We had planned to have our birthday cakes together on Saturday, which will be her 77th birthday.

Can you please send her some purrs, purr-ayers and positive vibes so she gets well soon?

Thanks. And thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes yesterday.

Millie & Mim-may Monday

Mom's back at the silly stuff. She moved the big computer into the old sewing room, and took this stuff out of the closet. Mim-may, it's all yours if you come and get it.

About the 'Nip situation... Mom says there WILL be 'Nip, and since she gives me everything a cat could want, I have to believe her. She says there will also be beans, snap peas, tomatoes and peppers.

In theory, I might add. One of her favorite lines is:

"In Theory, theory and practice are the same.
In Practice, they are different."



ain't that the truth!

Friendly Friday

My friend Rusty sent me a package.

There's some boring stuff in it for Mom, (like fabric) but something caught my nose right away!
It's 'Nip!
A very special 'Nip toy in Tuxie colors! I have been sniffing it, rubbing up against it, and batting it all over the house!

Thanks Rusty!



It's Mim-may's birthday today! Happy Birthday Mim-may! (Maybe you could help me go over and give her some Happy Birthday wishes!)

Saturday A - B - C

Mom's got to do housework today. Ha ha ha! Not me! I'm going to enjoy the day doing what I want. Although, I have a feeling I'll be hiding from the rug-sucking monster at least once today.

Mom has a question for all of you. You know Mim-may wants a backpack of her own. Mom has these three different fabrics. All cotton canvas. Which one of the three do you think Mim-may will choose? Put your guess in the comments. You can click the pictures to biggify.


This is A. - Turquoise Renata
This is B. - Tea/Black Veronique
This is C. Blue/Green Peapod
Do you think she will pick one of these three, or do you think she will pick:

D. - Something else.

Happy Birthday Mim-may!

This is Mim-may with her only granddaughter (she has two grandsons). This was taken in May when she was visiting Bryce Canyon in Utah.

Mim-may is in the blue jacket on the back of the motorcycle with Mom's brother, Mr Cabinetmaker. They did a 1,000 mile motorcycle tour of southern Utah this past May. Mom says this is a Very Big Deal if you are over 70, the way Mim-may is.

Happy Birthday Mim-may!
