Blessing Hunting
This is the first time in a long time that Ma doesn’t have to do anything.
She’ll probably still go to the bank and do some baking and some cleaning and of course make the dinner but she doesn’t have to.
Even if she wanted to she doesn’t have to take us trotting but I know she will because she’ll feel better if she does.
This is making her feel good so I’m encouraging her to have some time out.
What do you have to do today?
Blessing#2299-Haves and Have Nots
We have received so many cards and donations and gifts in memory of our Dad. It’s very touching. We can’t thank you enough.
The most recent came from Miss Kathy the director of Ministries with Children, Youth and Families at our church. She also has a great big dog so she ministers to canines too!
She made us a beautiful picture of Dad meeting Jesus.
We are going to put it just above the thermostat in our living room as that’s a place where it will be always visible.
We will be reminded when we adjust the thermostat that Dad is in the sunshine with no need for AC or heating.
We have it on good authority that he had his best suit and tie on the day he arrived but now is happily wearing his shorts and T-shirt.
Blessing#2898-Comfort
Today is our cousin Aditya’s birthday and we know it’s going to be the very best ever because it’s his first as a Daddy.
In Tamil the word for Daddy is APPA so he is APPA ADITYA which is kinda cute.
Our bitty baby has been named and he has such a sweet one. It is Shivam.
This means auspicious, pure and blessed.
Pretty neat don’t you think.
We hope Shivam is being a good baby today and helping his APPA have fun and maybe a little nap too after lunch.
Blessing#2897-Happy Days
Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.
I’m in an incredibly good mood as the Grumpy Gizzard is in the dog house and I’m Granny’s one and only love bug.
I fought hard for that stinking chipmunk but now I’m glad he got it because it got him into deep toro poopoo!
It’s great when Granny ignores him and smiles at me and gives me bits of her nachos.
I trust this trend continues like the sunshine and I get to soak it up some more.
Hope you have a weekend like mine where you know you’re the greatest and of course the most beautiful too.
I love you almost as much as Granny but not nearly as much as myself.
Blessing#2896-Being Beastly
I fear I may have induced the wrath of my mother.
See yesterday was yet another soaker so our trot was wet and short.
My energy levels remained high for the rest of the day due to inertia.
So at supper time when the rain stopped briefly I went out to the yard for some fun.
When I returned Ma was getting my food ready and out the corner of her eye she spotted that I had something in my mouth.
I made a dive under the kitchen table but she was on to me.
“Scooby” she said “What have you got come here this instant”
I remained silent.
She amplified.
Finally I gave in as I was hungry and emerged from under the table leaving my treasured catch behind.
OK it was pretty gross; a chipmunk that had met its maker several days earlier and looked as though it may have drowned.
Ma gave me a good scolding as she disposed of the critter and recanted my adventures to the Bro in his arrival.
She hasn’t kissed me since!
Blessing#2895-Brief Encounter
Precious Peeps it’s PITS here Perfect as ever and ready to heave you over the humpty.
I’m delighted to inform you that Grandpa has been in touch with me via the amazing world of facebook.
This memory from ten years ago popped up yesterday.
As you can see he’s going to the great show Jersey Boys. It’s one of those shows you could watch over and over again.
So thanks to Dolly he has hooked up with Frankie Valli in heaven and they’re going to get a special showing.
Oh what a night!!!
Must dash for brekkie. I love you lots.
Blessing#2894-Four Seasons
Our Auntie Paula came over yesterday afternoon with a care package for all of us.
There was a delicious pasta dish she’d made along with special sourdough bread and pumpkin cream roll for dessert.
She also brought us flowers and wine for Ma. We tried to kiss her but Ma said no no no!!!
Ma and the Bro let us taste a little of everything. It was so yummy
We all enjoyed very much.
Blessing#2893-Buonissimo
As the new week begins I’m conscious that Ma has a lot to do sorting through all Dads papers.
He sure did love to keep records and I don’t mean LPs.
Ma is finding things from twenty years ago but she can’t find the things she really needs.
Nerves were a little frayed yesterday afternoon to the point that I thought I saw stream coming out of her ears.
She made it very clear to me and Nala that our presence among the papers was not preferred.
She closed the door on us but I lay outside it so she felt my good vibes.
It did the trick she survived.
Blessing#2892-Rip Off
We have some very happy news for you. We have a new baby in the family.
He was born three days ago in Dubai and is the first child of our cousin Aditya and his wife Shruti.
He doesn’t have a name yet that will be given at his naming ceremony next week so for now he’s just our bitty baby.
Isn’t he just the cutest little cuddly you’ve ever seen.
Look at all that thick black hair and the way he is holding his little hands up to his ears.
He looks so happy and healthy and peaceful.
He’s giving us such a good feeling we just had to share so your Sunday is brighter too.
Blessing#2891-New Life
You know that like most critters we often talk about the weather. It’s either the storms or the rain or the heat or the cold we’re moaning about. Well here’s a thing there is a new movie out about weather too.
Auntie Lorraine and Uncle Michael went to see it in the cinema this week and said it was great.
The Bro found it streaming on Peacock so we all watched it last night.
It really is gripping. It’s a true story about the forecasting of the weather for the D-Day Landings in June of 1944.
It’s hard to imagine how significant this was.
You should catch it if you can. It’s called PRESSURE and the acting is outstanding. Bet it’s up for Oscars this year.
