A Happy New Year -Postcard Friendship Friday #388

Last year I was alone New Year's Eve.  I opened the front door and stood on the front porch waving Fourth of July sparklers.

Toez the Polydactyl Cat did NOT appreciate all of the Hullabaloo and hid under the blanket on the sofa.  As for me, I enjoyed the neighborhood pandemonium.  This year there will be a party here!  I'm excited.  It is the first time since my Beloved flew away to heaven.

I don't know what this New Year will hold, but I pray I will be a blessing to many in what God has called me to do.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday and Happy New Year, dear Friends!  Look Up, for God is watching over us with His great love and kindness.

Respect your Cat Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #113

Today is Respect Your Cat Day.  I could not find any history on how this holiday started, with the exception that on this day in 1384, King Richard the Second issued an edict forbidding the consumption of cats.  I just couldn't imagine anyone having a cat for dinner--except as an honored, if not interesting guest.

I have enjoyed the company of cats since I was a little girl.  Dogs are wonderful critters and I have made friends with quite a few.  But there is something about the independent nature of cats, combined with an endearing love they have for those they choose as friends, which captures me every time.

Today, March 28th, for many years now, we celebrate Respect Your Cat Day.  I'm glad there is such a holiday to pamper and cuddle up to these darling furry little friends.

The picture above is of our beloved Toez.  She is a polydactyl cat.  She's quite adept at using her mitten paws to get into just about everything.  Here she is at the window, er, rather--interactive kitty TV.

Have a lovely day with your furry friends and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Happy Days be Thine -Postcard Friendship Friday #168

What a lovely postcard! I especially like the graceful lines behind the words, Happy Days Be Thine.  I posted this beauty today, because tomorrow is our darling Mumsie's birthday.

She has endured so much through the years and yet has such grace and beauty.  She's had a very hard time of it, since Daddy died last November.  I can only hope that I will be so youthful and fun when I reach her age.

So to Mumsie and all of you--Happy Days be Thine.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
