Millie on Patrol

Every morning I survey my territory.

I make sure everything is in order.

I am alert to everything around me.

I see it all.



Have a happy Friday, friends!

Friday Fence

The fence went up yesterday.  The old fence wasn't very tall, so Mom could look over it.

Not anymore.

On the plus side, however, we get more privacy, and if Mom ever wants to take pictures of her quilts, the fence is a good place to do it.

Family Friday with Yoda

Rubylocks sent Mom this picture of Mr Karate napping with Yoda. I think it makes a perfect Family Friday photo.

Me? It's so blasted hot I'm hiding in a cool spot. Mom even has a fan going just for me.

Fantastic Friday!

Mom is happy because today is the longest day of the year and it is sunny. I am happy because this is my 'Nip!  Lookit all those wonderful 'Nip plants! I am SO excited.  Now that the rains have gone away, we can have the SUN which will grow my 'Nip to magnificence!

I am so excited!

What Were They Thinking?

I don't get it.  They rejected two of Mom's best quilts that she submitted to a show called "What's My Line?" I mean, are they blind? Mom is seriously awesome. She's the best quiltmaker I have ever seen. Her work is outstanding, her use of color is second-to-none and her fabric choices are impeccable. She's famous, and she has quilts all over the world.

I mean, I know I'm hardly objective, but STILL! Who are these jurors anyway? No cats I know, I'll bet.

Sigh.  At least -I- know my Mom is sixteen kinds of terrific.

Furry Friday

This is what it looks like outside this morning. Mom says it might "flurry" all day but it won't amount to much of anything since the temperatures will be well over 32F.

Mom and I finished Max's book last night. You should get a copy or two or three. It's amazing how much adventures we indoor kitties can have in a lifetime.

Mom's been tippy-tapping and now she's getting those "artistic insecurities" about whether it's good enough. Hey, she's been helping me write my blog for six and a half years now, so I think she'll be fine. 

Have a furry Friday!

Funny Friday

With all the snow yesterday, Mom stayed home. She was outside pushing the snow around for a while and when she came back in she started tippy-tapping. Then she was looking for her pen. It wasn't on the table so she looked under the couch.  She didn't find the pen, but she did find these.

Dunno why she gave ME a funny look when she found them.

Google Olympics Doodles

Have you been stuck at your computer playing the latest Google doodles? Mom and I have been running the hurdles, shooting basketball hoops, kayaking and today, trying to block goals in soccer (football.) You can read about them here and  here and here.

Otherwise I have been enjoying napping under the wing chair where it's cool.  Mom's been doing the day hunting thing and not much else.  Megan gave me grief about telling everybody she's been slacking at housework lately, and she's right, I suppose.  Mom has been working hard and she was sick.  But I didn't tell anything other than the truth.  The house is kinda messy. Mom says it's hot and sticky and her get-up-and-go has got-up-and-left. Mom has been providing me with my favorite stinky goodness, my best crunchies, my favorite treats at treat time.  She's been keeping the litter box tidy and satisfying my needs for scritches any time I want, so on that score she's top notch.

Now if I can just figure out how to be a better soccer goalie....

Formerly Feral Friday

Every day I watch the little birdies flit around outside my window. They put on quite a show, and I am lucky enough to have a terrific view.

It's been sunny and warm the last few days, and because we didn't get a lot of snow this winter, it is very dry. We are actually hoping for some rain soon. In the meantime, though, I'm going to enjoy the view and the smells.

Family Friday

The quilt Mom calls Laughing Out Loud is back from an extended trip to Tennessee. As you can see, we are getting re-acquainted.

Gosh I hope it stops raining soon!

Finally Friday

Hey Mom, is there something I can help you with? I need to do something to keep myself busy... I'm feeling a bit out of sorts...

Life Can Be Tough

Last night after dinner, Mom was on the computer, and I was napping in the cat hammock near my favorite window. We could hear the little sticky people running around outside, making lots of noise and and having fun. Then it got really quiet. Mom brought the trash out because Friday is garbage day, and saw three police cars outside, with their lights flashing. Cops were talking to a lady next door, who was crying. Another cop was talking to somebody else down the street. There was lots of pleading, lots of "It wasn't my fault" and "she did it and I'm the one getting into trouble." It went on for a long time. Mom and I do not know what happened, but somebody got a ride in the paddywagon.

I don't know what a paddywagon is, but I don't ever want to ride in one.

I'm so happy Mom loves me.

What's New Friday?

This is the wall of Mom's "cube" at her day hunting gig. You can see pictures of Mr Karate, and some other stuff she likes.Now check out the pictures Mom has on the coldbox here at home.
See any similarities?
Sheesh! It's a good thing I'm not the jealous type!

Friday the 13th

It's finally Friday. It's cold here in New Hampster, but it should be a bit warmer over the weekend.

Mom is working on a project, and that's why I'm not blogging or commenting as much as I'd like. It's really sucking up a lot of her time, and she says it's gonna take a while, so I hafta get used to it. You know how she is with secrets, if she doesn't want anybody to know about it, she isn't gonna tell anybody anything. And you all know how bad I am at keeping secrets, so she sure isn't gonna tell me.
