Life in the Tropics ~ Ethel's Hawaiian Adventure 2015

This is embarrassing.

Many of you know we took our kitty with us to Maui this year and have asked how she made out. Here are a few photos from her Hawaiian Adventure 2015 so you can see for yourself!

These look good enough to eat - can I eat them?

Was that a gecko? I saw a gecko! Can I eat geckos?

Mealtime entertainment. I know she's on the island - don't judge me.

Is that a bunny? I saw a bunny! That's a bunny! Can I eat bunnies?

Dear Cat Behavior Specialist,
My cat seems stressed - how can I help her learn to relax?
Thank you.
Signed,
Worried Ethel's Mom

Dear Diary,
The birds outside the kitchen window - they taunt me.
The thin barrier the authorities have placed between us
thwarts all attempts I make to befriend them.
I will go lie under the bed and watch
my hairballs float past.
There is some comfort in this.

Rub my belly-- you KNOW you can't resist.

What's your Visa number?

And then she said, 'Mom, I'd like to go to university and study String Theory'.

But, I don't want to go home.

New Chairs for Our Deck!

We've had two cast off wooden chairs on the front deck for a few years now. They spend the winter outside and no amount of paint and love was going to save them this year. So, off to the bonfire woodpile they went last week when hubs brought home these new lovelies (that were on sale, no less!). Yes, they required a full weekend of my life to paint them but they look FABULOUS, darling.

It took me all weekend to paint these four chairs...it was worth it!

They make a lovely area to lounge while dinner is on the BBQ or just to sit and chat ...AND... I can set the table and everyone still has a comfy place to relax. Ethel and I had our breakfast here this morning!
