Seeing Eye People

This was the last day for putting drops in Her eyes. She had to go see the doc that fixed Her eyes, and She is so chuffed that She has been smiling all day. After all the worry and appointments and eye drops, it is finally over and here is the result: She can see the TV, a movie and to drive without any glasses at all. She can see to use the computer with regular glasses from the store. She can see to read, but will see even better when She gets the glasses with the right number. It might seem like a waste to go through all that when you are so very old, but She says it is worth it if She didn't live another week. I don't want to think about that. I'm just telling you what She said.
They stopped for a celebration lunch and She brought a lot of it home. That way, She gets two meals for the price of one. He brought home something, too. Hers smelled like bacon, but I couldn't tell what His is. They have a lot of partying ahead, and if I am lucky, I'll get some good food to share. She was teasing me that there is no such thing as Kitty Bags. Hmmph.
He has been Her driver through all of the eye stuff, and He has not complained even one time. She says They have been together for 36 years, and it has gone by very fast. Kasey and I are glad They found each other and then found us. Cheerio.

Easy Day Cats

It isn't that I wanted to get up early, because there were no appointments today, but He was determined to have us all awake for some reason. Oh, did I wake you up? He said, I didn't mean to. Well, She got up, but Kasey and I went right back to sleep - after a drink of water and a snack - and butter, of course. So I had a nice easy day. He was still trying to fix His computer that has a bug in it. I looked all around but I didn't see any bug. He had to take it to the computer guy. He tried to check His email on Her computer, but They couldn't figure out how to do it.
We have been looking all over for a certain thing for LW'sDad. I helped Her read the ads and catalogs. Guess what! Today He finally found it. LW'sDad will think it is funny.
This thing with Her eyes is getting easier, but She says She couldn't do it without the things Hana'sGran gave Her. They fasten on the glasses so She always knows where they are. She is not going to need any fancy glasses from the glasses store. This whole eye thing has been easier than any of us thought it would be. She doesn't like the way She looks without glasses all the time, but She looks fine to me. I can snuggle around Her face with no problem.
I'm wide awake now, and listening to Her Italian boys sing songs about Christmas. They try to sing in Her language and She says they sound cute. Oh, well. I guess this is the time to say chow.

Healthy Cats

Kasey and I are really healthy, so we don't have to go to the doc today, but She had to go, because they have to be sure Her medicine is working right. She has a good doc who checks Her heart and stuff, then decides if She should keep on taking the medicine, then the doc gives Her a paper to give the medicine people. Today She came home with the paper, so everything is fine. If only She could walk around easier people would not guess She has old-lady muscles and joints. To tell the truth, I have a couple of achy joints myself, but you can hardly tell. You can see Her achy joints from across the street. (snerk)
One thing She likes to do is have someone paint Her toes. She says it is a treat to have someone massage her toes and then paint them red. She was so chuffed that the doc said She was fine that She treated Herself to getting shiny red toes. Kasey and I don't have any toenails in front, so we are safe from having our toes painted. Whew. She may like that, but I sure would not!
She got some pretty cards in the mail. She loved the one that was a picture of Abby and her people.. She sends His and Her cards by computer. She just hopes everyone gets them! Now it is time for dinner, and I smell chicken! TTYL

Postal Cats

She had the presents for lots of weeks. She got the packages ready to mail a long time ago. They sat in Her office for lots of time. Well, today they all went riding to the Post Office, which is where you mail stuff. There was a package for Her beloved OperaGirl that had a package inside a package, because her birthday is soon after Christmas. One for Her beloved Mazie, with a bunch of surprises in it. One was for Her beloved brother, besides the one coming in the mail from somewhere else. She hopes he will be tickled pink. One package for Her beloved Eddie-Sister in Florida. Her beloved PoetryGirl will get one, and so will her boys. One is on the way to Her beloved grandchild here in Texas, and one for Her beloved StefferGirl, who is now so happy with her new job. Now for the ones that He and She will just give to the people. They have to wait until closer to Christmas. The next ones are for SmudgesPeople, who will be sailing away before Christmas gets here. They will be celebrating each other's marriage birthdays together next week. Oh, She loves giving people their presents that She buys all through the year.
So we are ready for a quiet evening with some delicious soup with chicken in it. Kasey and I are happy cats. Cheery-bye.

Pleased Cats

Did you ever have one of those days when everything just seemed pleasant? That's the kind of day it was here. Everyone had some good sleep last night, the butter was good this morning and so were the snuggles. Every time I felt like having a snuggle, there She was. Not out visiting or watching a graduation, but right here where I like Her to be. I got an especially good brushing today, and laughed when She said She could make a new cat out of the hair in the brush. I know She can't really do that, you see.
The only trouble is talking about a subject called politics. He and She both like the President and are worried about the other guys who want to replace him. They are afraid the country might turn into a huge mess and They can't stand that. But luckily, Kasey and I don't understand most of it, so we could still feel pleasant.
Yesterday They were too full of duck to want any dinner, but tonight He asked for spaghetti. She gets the healthful kind, so it is OK. It is a once-in-awhile kind of dinner. He doesn't feel like He can't get what He wants to eat that way.
They have a lot to do tomorrow, but you may be most interested that the packages are going in the mail. If you get one too soon, just save it, OK? You will only have to wait a little while. Sy-o-nara.

Excellence Cats

Today was about LW, her Mom, Dad and Sibs. They were all together to see LW'sMom finish Minister School, and while He and She were there, they found out that the school gave a special Award of Excellence. Can you guess who won it? Yes! It was LW'sMom. He and She were so proud they just about popped! I was proud, too, and I guess even Kasey was. Kasey and I agreed that if there had been an award for Cat Excellence, we surely would have won it. When They got home, They said they agreed.
Everyone went together to have some good things to eat. She said it was little pancakes with cooked duck inside. She had not eaten duck before, and was surprised at how much She liked it. She had such fun sitting at the Kids' Table, along with Him and another Grandma. This is funny. There was a circle on the table that turned around so that everyone could take their stuff off of it. It sounds like a good idea, but it was kind of a mess by the time everyone got done.
She was also chuffed that LW'sMom brought the stole that Smudge'sMom made and showed it to everyone. It looked nifty on her, and She almost cried from happiness. This is the sad part. They were so full of duck and stuff that They didn't feel like eating dinner. They just want snacks. Oh, well. You can't have fish every night, I guess. Mostly it was a good day. Cheerio.

Telling Cats

Today is the day I can tell you about the secret for LW'sMom. You see, she is finishing all her work at minister school and graduating tomorrow. He and She wanted to give LW'sMom a special thing called a stole that ministers wear when they are giving a talk. She looked all over, asked advice from other ministers, and finally went to Smudge'sMom and said you are a wonderful sewer of lots of things, can you help me design a stole, and then make it for me? I will pay you what the other ones cost. Smudge'sMom said yes and the two of them looked at material and ideas and colors, and finally S'sM made the stole like one of her quilts and stitched about a million little designs on it. It was a masterpiece. So today She and S'sM went to eat lunch with LW'sMom, and they gave her the present together. She told Him that LW'sMom liked it just fine, and I am glad because it is hard to keep secrets.
While She was at the lunch place She made a reservation for the Crones' lunch. She really loves that place, and wishes it were not such a long drive to go there. I think She should be more careful about eating so much, and bring more stuff home.
When She was getting out a drink of tea, I was by Her feet, and I saw my very favorite pink fish waiting to get cooked for our dinner. That is better than leftovers. I am not telling any more secrets today. Tune in tomorrow.
