Bear was having a clingy day and climbed up on my chest while I was exercising so, I decided to snap a close-up; it wasn’t until I looked at it later that I noticed the “dent” in his fur where I had petted him. (I tracked him down to make sure that his head was really okay and it’s fine.)
In an unexpected Valentine’s twist, Kenn and I gave each other identical cards!😂 (The inside reads: Happy Valentine’s Day to my main squeeze.) I guess this is what happens when you’ve been together for 42 years. (We started dating at 18.)
Commercials frequently make me say “What the fox?” – especially perfume/cologne commercials. However, there are those that make me happy and this is one of them.
Here’s hoping that one of the things that makes me happy can also bring a little happy to you! (Side note: the official video for Call Me Maybe is also good for a few laughs.)
Several years ago I became the proud owner of a set of cat butt magnets which still decorate my fridge until this day. Thanks to a random Amazon recommendation, I found the superhero cat butt magnets shown above in my Christmas stocking. I think they are hysterical; the Hulk and Iron Man are my particular favorites. I also have no idea why Batman is the sole DC representative amongst this collection of Marvel superheroes.🤷♀️Our fridge is quite… eclectic.
My part-time job is at an agricultural center. Our work trucks can really take a beating because when we say we’re “in the field”, it’s a literal field (or grove, or orchard). I had to laugh earlier this week when I noticed at least two of the trucks have grass growing in their grills.😂 To paraphrase Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park, “life found a way”.
Sometimes Bear sits and thinks, sometimes he just sits.
I have never been an Anglophile or royal watcher. However, I have always loved corgis and appreciated the late Queen’s obvious love for her dogs. I saw this mug in a catalog (one of the many I receive this time of year) and had a complete giggle fit. I was over the moon when Kenn gifted me the mug for my birthday; it makes me smile every time I use it.😊
We prefer to stop at travel centers such as Love’s, etc. when we are on the road. Naturally, the signs for “Mom approved restrooms” at the Sapp Bros. travel center in Wyoming caught our attention and the reality did not disappoint. Around here, folks make a big deal about Buc-ees; in my opinion, Buc-ees doesn’t hold a candle to Sapp Bros.
For the first time, Kenn planted a small garden this year. Some things didn’t do very well, but we did get a few bell peppers and the tomatoes are still coming in. However, we’ve learned the hard way that we can’t leave tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter to finish ripening. Nyx, our black cat, has a weird obsession with them. Any tomato left unguarded will, at the very least, develop teeth marks – if it doesn’t completely disappear.
Earlier this week I showered while Kenn cooked supper. When I came downstairs to set the table, etc. he told me that he’d brought in three tomatoes. He turned his back for a minute and all three were gone. He managed to find two of them (one was in the garbage disposal) but one was still missing in action. I didn’t find the third one until I went downstairs to play video games. The remains of the third tomato were at the base of the stairs.
Our cats definitely keep life interesting, LOL!
