The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Before Periwinkle and Stinky share their Adventure, they want to remind you that today is Election Day in the US.  If you haven't done mail-in or early voting, don't forget to vote today.  Mom usually does election day but has another dentist appointment today so she did early voting.

As sometimes happens, Periwinkle and Stinky had their Adventure a few days earlier but are sharing today.  Stinky arrived at Periwinkle's house early Saturday morning.  He popped out of the Teleportation Tunnel into her waiting paws and they spent time whisker kissing and paw patting.  Periwinkle handed Stinky an umbrella because they would be outside and, being cats, didn't like getting wet and there was a chance of rain.  The two hopped into her Mom's car for the short trip to the Satellite Beach Community Center.   On the way there Periwinkle told Stinky about the Founder's Day celebration. "Founders Day is held every year on the first Saturday in November. This year’s parade theme, “Cruisin’ through 60 years,” will highlight the milestones, landmarks, innovations, and events that have shaped our city, community, and the Woman’s Club over the past 60 years, showcasing change, new ideas, and the importance of our little city's history!"

Periwinkle took Stinky over to a corner and said "One more thing, if you have the urge to climb on things..."

Stinky giggled and promised to behave.  

Since the parade didn't start until later, they decided to visit the vendors.

One of the first vendors they stopped at was a friend of Periwinkle's Mom.  Stinky enjoyed checking out her books.

There were lots of vendors (but no cat items).   Periwinkle explained that her Mom and others refer to their little city as "Mayberry" but she didn't know what that meant.

There were even lots of food trucks.  The tabbies decided to grab a snack before the parade began.

As they walked around they saw some woofies who recognized them right away.

One of the officials came by and said they knew how famous they were and asked them to judge the parade.

They watched excitedly as the various groups and floats came by.

It started to rain so they figured they should head back to Periwinkle's house.  They joined in the parade for a couple of blocks on the way.

Stinky ran off and Periwinkle worried that he was going to climb on something but just laughed and rolled her eyes when she saw him with his new "friend."

They were sorry they had to leave so early but it was raining harder and they knew their Moms would want them home. 

Back at Periwinkle's house they dried off and spent some time snuggling and whisker kissing until Stinky had to leave for his house.  With one last whisker kiss, he entered the Teleportation Tunnel and was on his way home.

Periwinkle and Stinky hoped you enjoyed seeing this little slice of Mayberry.  We know it's not the most exciting Adventure they have had but love Periwinkle's town and wanted to share it with you.

#Blog4Peace Monday Sparks

We used AI to make our Peace Globe, and it really doesn't look like us, but we really liked it. We hope you do, too.

 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Sunday Selfies

Instead of our regular Selfies we are sharing how our sweet ManCat Angel Raz joined our family 12 years ago!! Even though he is at the Rainbow Bridge now we will always celebrate the day he joined our family.

From the Bridge we will let him tell the story...

Hi from the Rainbow Bridge.Do you know that today is a special day for me? As you might have figured out - today is my 12th Gotcha Day!!   November 3, 2012, I was lucky enough to become a Florida Furkid.   Here's the first photo my Mom took of me.....Impurressive, right?  That's another one of my brothers in the cage with me.  Don't worry, both of them got adopted at the next event. What you probably don't know is that my other brother (the one you don't see) was the one Mom came to adopt.  He pooped in his PTU and had to be cleaned up.  I took advantage and won Mom's heart.  I guess PTU pooping runs in the family!  MOL

HERE's a link to my very first post and there's a link to my Petfinder page too!  

This is my Petfinder photo.....wasn't I a cutie?  I'm glad I grew into those ears!  As you can see, I was photogenic.  Raz Petfinder

I grew into a really handsome ManCat!

Poetic Thankful Thursday

 

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo prompt is 

Trick or Treat

We each put on a sheet

We went looking for a treat

We rang the doorbell

We waited for a spell.

Is that a cat?

We smell a rat.

Maybe it's just a mask.

We're askeered to ask!

Today is also Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!  We will be THANKFUL if Mom stays outside and our doorbell doesn't ring gazillion times with sticky people in costumes!

We're also THANKFUL that (in spite of NOT being a firstie) Mom was a right guesser (also NOT first) and won this pawsome Halloween badge for us.
