A lady at work was talking about getting someone to paint a picture of a house. She said she was going to try it, but after seeing some of my work, thought it would be nice if I would paint it. I told her I would be happy to do so. She hasn't brought the picture in, yet, but I decided it might be a good idea to finish up a painting or two, that had previously been started. This is the latest. I consider it finished.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I was lucky enough to be invited to my sister's place. She's always fun to visit.My sister has a chicken tree. When she wants chicken dinner, she just walks out and picks a chicken off the tree. I kid. Sis has a huge bruise on her arm. When asked how she got it, she said she fell out of a tree, while trying to catch chickens. In trees at night, they make easy owl food.My father and I walked out to see the horses. Prince Van Doe wasn't too thrilled to see us. He's been separated from his ma. His pasture pals are Sammie (pictured) and Jeremiah.
My sister's hibiscus was blooming. Such a beautiful flower. The kitty wasn't thrilled to have so many humans visiting his mom. The dog was happy, though. She's always happy.If the cats wanted to be held and played with, Thanksgiving was the day. There are four cats in the household. One cat stayed hidden most of the time. This cat came out and was passed from person to person.

Friday morning, my camera was empty. When I downloaded it, today, there were 66 photos. I thought I'd share some of them. If you click the photo, it should enlarge to an easier viewing size.

Taking a leaf from the fabulous Fixer, at Alternate Brain,...I finally posted another short story, Alien Charm, at The Practical Press.

The cats decided it would be better to show some beautiful foliage, than the usual Friday cat pictures.


Here's a riddle from Cat Jokes.
Q: Where is one place that your cat can sit, but you can't?

A: Your lap.

I managed to catch a snip of the conversation on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The comedian guest explained why John McCain shouldn't be running for president. Anyone who has a birthday that has 190_ in it is just too old - he'd be taking naps all the time. Instead, he should be a Walmart greeter. It's much easier:)

The Fat Lady Sings' kitty, Pumpkin, had to have major surgery. TFLS has cute Pumpkin pictures posted at the above link, along with a post about his ordeal. He's a young, beautiful, orange cat. Please send healing thoughts, and hopes, for the sweet little guy.

Ah, four cats all together, once again. One girl is missing. Could she be in the living room, trying to get mom to play strings, again? I like to get photos of cats yawning. The pictures almost always turn out, and they look so funny. Cotton could be singing, or yelling for Grey Feather, or laughing at a joke told by one of the others.

I've mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again...Rocky Girl is a fantastic alarm clock. I went to bed early, last night. This morning, I hit the snooze button. Several times, she jumped up and tried to wake me. The last time worked. I think I'll keep her.

Some of my friends try to get together once a month, at some restaurant, to have a meal, chat, celebrate birthdays, and catch up with the goings on with everyone else's busy lives.

One couple is heading out for vacation, soon. One of the ladies told them they should try to stop at a certain restaurant that a couple others enjoyed. Of course, conversation veered to different restaurants and other vacations. The same lady tells us that, on one vacation, she and her daughters had been driving for hours on end, through the night. They finally decided they needed to stop and get something to eat. They went into a small town restaurant. She said that there were several tough looking guys in the place, and of course, they all stared at the women as they came in. One daughter turned to her and asked, in a quiet whisper, "do I still have clothes on?"

They sat down and ordered their breakfasts. When they were served, one breakfast wasn't exactly like it had been ordered. When the large cook came from the kitchen, and asked, "whose breakfast did I make a mistake on?" they decided it was okay, afterall.

They started eating. The whole time they'd been there, they could see a young lady in the back, washing dishes. She spent a lot of time at the sinks. Finally, they heard her say, in a loud frustrated voice, "I can't get these dishes clean unless you get me some dishsoap!"

I thought this picture was quite beautiful, even if I must say so myself:) I took it last week, sometime. I think it might have been October 31st, in fact. No wonder I didn't get any trick or treaters. I was treating myself to a great walk:)

Grey Feather was intrigued by the goings on outside. I have no idea what it was, unless she was busy watching leaves fall. I think I'll send her out with the rake. There are a lot of leaves needing to be picked up from the yard. The cannas need to be dug, too. Perhaps, one of the other cats would like that chore. They certainly need something to keep them busy. Can you believe?!?!? they run back and forth, chasing each other, while I'm here...except when they're dumping, eating, or sleeping, of course.
