1:33 am
sprite
hiya Maisie! It is going splendidly. The four of us are getting along so well, it is like we have been close friends for all our lives. We've been able to take them to see quite a few interesting places and we enjoy being together so much!
1:34 am
Maisie
So glad you get on but knew you would. Any photos anywhere yet
1:35 am

1:36 am
Maisie
Lovely, So what are you up to today
1:38 am
sprite
today is for the Anne Frank house, and a shoe store for Rose if they are open today. Might not be, since it is a bank holiday here.

I just picked a small bouquet of roses and peonies , all in shades of pink, and the whole room is fragrant (offsetting Mr. Stinky)
6:11 am
bichon
do you have roses which have aromas. None of mine have
6:12 am
rubyfoo
No, mine have no perfume, it's the peonies
6:13 am
bichon
Yes, but only the white ones have an aroma
6:14 am
rubyfoo
I have white ones, but I would have to go down steps tp pick them, so I don't know
6:16 am
rubyfoo
This grid is no fun for me
6:16 am

Bye for now
6:16 am

Is it half siamese or a special breed?
9:17 am
tabbycat
She's got some Siamese in her but she's a mix, was formerly feral.
9:18 am
aebmusica
Sometimes the mixes are so beautiful.
9:20 am
aebmusica
What did you name her?
9:21 am
tabbycat
Yes they are. Her eyes and voice are definitely Siamese. We also have one of her kittens who seems to have some Maine Coon in her.
9:22 am
tabbycat
No imagination in giving names. She is Miss Kitty and her daughter is Little Bit.
9:23 am
aebmusica
Do u know the folk lore story about the "M" on her forehead?
9:24 am
tabbycat
Yes, I do. And did you know that all cats are tabbies, even the big cats, or so I have heard.
9:26 am
aebmusica
I know.... they all have the"m" marking no matter what the mature.
9:26 am
tabbycat
My daughter had a solid black cat but if the light hit her just right you could see stripes.
9:26 am
aebmusica
WOW....now that I have never seen!
9:27 am
tabbycat
Very faint, but they were there.
9:29 am
tabbycat
It surprised me too. She was sitting on the windowsill and the sunlight hit her just so.
9:29 am
aebmusica
What a photo that would have made!
9:30 am
tabbycat
And of course I had no camera or phone with me.
9:31 am
aebmusica
Sometimes memories are the best photographs.
9:34 am
tabbycat
I need to carry my phone with me more than I do. Recently I was going out to pick up the newspaper from the driveway, saw something swoop by, and when I turned to look there was a red shouldered hawk perched on the edge of the roof. With the clear blue sky behind it, that would have been a great shot.

English as she is spoke: you can have ta5/12, but not the word that results if you drop the last letter; you can have ya4/10, but you can't have the word that results if you add that dropped letter from ta5/22. I can say "I feel ya5/26 (don't try it - NOT A REAL WORD) at 11:00PM Eastern Time and the chog will know what I mean. Maybe Sprite will add it to her Babblet list...
