The Evil One

I've given up. She is evil. In the past week she has broken a goblet, a corn on the cob dish and 3 vases! She does not purr. She has been neutered and she is 14 months old so you would think she would calm down. She hisses at me and growls when she is disturbed. If you make her angry she will pee on your shoes. And what self respecting cat lays like this with her legs stretched out instead of curling up in a ball!

Yes, she has her cute moments.

But, she is usually just planning her next attack on some poor, sweet, unsuspecting victim!

Dreaming of world domination!!!!

Spring Fever!

Lulu has been having a difficult time! The birds are driving her insane! She spends her days running from window to window. She stares and mutters at them for hours!

Here she is staring at the birds fluttering above the front door. She finally fell asleep in that same position. Crazy cat!

Fashion Pug

Bitsey was getting ready to pose in her new T-shirt when the Evil One showed up. LuLu apparently was jealous and attempted to take the shirt off her.

Bitsey fought off the attack but was no longer interested in posing for the camera!

Yard Sale, Mantles and Kitten Gymnist

One of my friends had a yard sale today to raise money for the big walk for Breast Cancer in Atlanta. They had tons of donations and lots of stuff. I hope they met their goal. I saw many interesting things when I dropped off my donations and had good intentions of getting up early to go. It didn't happen -I was lazy and didn't go until 9:30. I still got a few goodies. Another suitcase, dented cake cover, tarnished pitcher, old Christmas balls, Christmas cross stitch, parasol and my favorite - box of leaves and tiny flowers! They will be great for Victorian hats! The parasol will also go to the Porch Tour for a display.

I worked on my mantles more. The kitchen has some BOO blocks that DH and I made years ago before we had the house! We were more "crafty " then! The towel has an applique that I have used on kid's clothes .

The parlor got a swag and a pheasant added. I usually decorate in the dining room too, but not this year. When we redid the parlor, the dining room became storage and the electricity was cut off and has not be rewired yet! That will be a goal this month! Pay no attention to the shot of me taking the picture- I didn't notice that before!

Finally -one more shot of Lulu! Chasing her tail while hanging upside down from a kitchen chair!! This kitten is crazy!

Thanks!

Thanks for all the hints on the mystery flowers! I Googled Surprise Lily and they fit my flowers perfectly. They have many other alias names and one of them is Bare Naked Ladies! We have some day lilies in our yard - the flower is similar but they have leaves. These flowers have nothing but stem and bloom! They grow 4-6 inches a day until they are 20-24 inches tall, then burst into bloom. They last a few days and then die. There is no sign of them until next July. I also learned that some bulbs bloom every other year. I can't remember how many we transplanted but I know there were more than the three that came up this year.

LuLu has won over the dogs. They want to play with her, but she is too small. We only let them be in the same room under close supervision. Seven has not accepted her yet. There is less hissing and more watching (stalking) but again we are not leaving them alone together yet. Here she is showing her hunting skills as she "finds Nemo"!!

I had some requests to show our beach paintings. I haven't found frames for most of them yet. First the boy's work-

And a couple of mine....

Finally to Nevis- it takes us 4 hours and 10 minutes to get to the beach. This is with DH driving and does not include our one stop on the other side of Montgomery at Priester's Pecans. This is a required stop because -1. They have clean bathrooms 2. They give free samples of candy 3. The other food is good 4. You can watch them make candy 5. The gift shop is cute, they often have pug merchandise! I know the exact time so well because we have a family travel tradition. Each person gets a surprise bag if we travel for 1 hour without any fussing. It has been worth every penny to do this for road trips over the years. I make 4 bags for each person (including DH) for a beach trip! I put silly stuff in the bags -gum, socks, puzzles, card games. I collect things whenever I see cheap stuff during the year from thrift stores, yard sales, Dollar Stores so when ever we go more than 2 hours I make up bags!

Introducing LuLu !

We are home from vacation and I took over 300 pictures! I'll get to them another day. The important news is that we have added a baby to the family. She arrived this afternoon. The humans are all in love! The pugs are curious! And the cat is hissing and spitting.... it may take her a while to accept her new sister! She was named after our favorite beach restaurant!
