Welcome to this week’s Show and Tell Tuesday!

Today, Michelle is sharing photos of her “furbabies”. She has 3 cats and a dog named “Crystal”! 🙂 I’ll let you read her words to describe them . . .

“My son rescued the 2 longhaired cats as kittens from the street; it was January in the snow. The poor things. I expected mangy flea ridden things when he asked to bring them home and instead he brought in these two amazing furballs.”

Eeyore is the grey, reminds me of a dumb bouncer or sports jock…not too smart. lol

Itachi means weasel in Japanese and he loves to steal pens and bring us toy mice as trophies. He swallowed some thread when he was 1 1\2 and we had to decide whether we could spend a fortune for an operation to save him. We did of course and he’s doing fine now but my craft/sewing room is off limits 🙂

The orange cat is O’malley, a rescue by my brother-in-law’s girlfriend, but then she found out she was allergic. He likes to sleep 23 out of 24 hours. When we accepted him he was infested with ear mites poor thing so we had him treated and now he wont leave my side when I sleep.

The lab is Crystal, named by my son when she was a puppy because she was “shiny and special”. For 12 years I ran a daycare and she would convert the non-dog lovers to the point that they would say “Hi and Bye” to her before me. She’s 13 now and on her last legs poor thing but hubby keeps hoping she’ll pass in her sleep so he doesn’t have to make the decision to take her to the vets.

They are expensive and are a nightmare for hair but they are also such a comfort when I am depressed or in pain from my fibromyalgia. Hubby even keeps the cat treats on his bedside table to treat them before we’ll go asleep. They are my furbabies 🙂 Kids and pets, both drive us crazy and steal our hearts!”

Thanks so much, Michelle. You sure have a bunch of cuties, there! 😀

Greetings Kids!

Welcome to the Thanksgiving Week edition of Show and Tell Tuesday. Today we have a special treat. Kelly has sent in photos of her home all decorated for the season. 🙂

First, here’s a view of her breakfast nook. Isn’t it festive? She loves the “turkey pumpkin” and I can see why. “Gobble till you wobble” – too cute!


Her shelves are also dressed for autumn! I have a feeling they’ll be sporting some Christmas decorations pretty soon 😉


I love this photo! Kelly has adorned her fireplace with gorgeous touches of fall color. Did you know that she enjoys gathering leaves at this time of year and then dipping them in paraffin to preserve them?


Thanks so much Kelly! You’ve put us throroughly in the mood. Bring on the stuffing and pumpkin pie! 😀

(If there should be any stockings hanging at that fireplace in the next month . . . it would be fun to see a photo. )

Once Upon a Time . . .

(at Paulette’s house) 😉

a brand new kitten joined the family! They named him, “Jingles” and he immediately stole their hearts.

But who could ever blame them for falling for this little fella?

Months turned into years . . . and Jingles has grown up to be ever so handsome! 😀

Paulette says: “I love all my kitties, but Jingles has so much personality. He really knows how to get to all of us. One of our favorite expressions when referencing Jingles is “he’s putting on the act”. That means, he’s acting adorable, and we all have to run over and smother him with kisses!”

And finally, this last photo has to be my personal favorite. (Yawn, stretch!!!)

Can you say ADORABLE????? (Thank you, Paulette!)

Allison has sent us this photo of her beautiful new baby!

His name is Robert Patrick! 😀

Isn’t he adorable?

At his 2 week check-up, on October 25th, Robert was 19-1/2 inches and weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz.

Allison says: “He is so sweet; a very good baby!”

Robert has a wonderful big sister to help care for him, too. What fun it will be for the whole family this Christmas, but I’m sure they would say that their best gift arrived in October!!! 🙂

Hugs,

Many of you remember that last week I asked if you’d send in a photo to share with the rest of us.

Well, I’ve received a few already and this is going to be fun! Welcome to the first installment of Show and Tell Tuesday! My plan is to post the photos on Tuesdays, in the order I receive them. 😀


This week, we have Donna’s (don_mae) very impressive collection of Gucci bags! I’ll let her tell you about it . . .

“This is over 25 years of buying.

I never saw a Gucci piece that I didn’t like and had to have. At first I was addicted to the brown pattern.

Then when the navy pattern came out, I bought even the SAME pieces I already had in brown. I was hopelessly addicted. My favorites are the train cases. Have them in brown and also navy.

After buying about half of this stuff, I told hubby not to worry. That I was just “adding to my investment – my 401G”. 😉

But, I now have my addiction under control. Retirement and being on a fixed income will do that. In 4 years I have only added these items.

And I have to tell you, I spent about 20 minutes looking around eBay yesterday for any Gucci vintage items that looked interesting. Thankfully I didn’t find any. Whew!!

Well, there you have it. Maybe I could open my own Gucci store.”

Thank you so much, Donna! It’s easy to see that your years of collecting have given you a lot of joy, and how nice that it was an investment, as well! 😀
