Happy Blogoversary to US!

                              

We're glad you stopped by because today is our 15th Blogoversary

That's right....15 years of blogging. Our first blog post was on July 5, 2008. Click HERE to read our very first post!!! Pretty impressive, huh? Great graphics too...NOT! We've come a LONG way from that first post.  We actually blogged every day except for two weeks after our Daddy went to Heaven.  The support of our friends in the Blogosphere has been such a great help to us as we have gone through happy times and sad times, especially through the awful COVID.  You've been with us when we lost Florida Furkids (most recently our sweet Mancat Raz)  and when we added others to our home. We love you all!

Our first comment was from Kattonic Cats They don't blog anymore but their Mom is on FB. We hope she stops by today. In honor of our Blogoversary, we're doing our annual comment-a-thon. Mom will donate $1 for every comment (up to $50) to the Rescue or Shelter you choose! You can comment until Sunday, July 9 to enter!  Now....let's PARTY!!!

The 4th of July Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Periwinkle sat at the Teleportation Tunnel eagerly awaiting the arrival of her boyfriend, Stinky.  She hoped the boomers at his house were not bad the last few days and that he would enjoy the Adventure she had planned for today.  She didn't have to wait long to hear the familiar WOOSH and out he tumbled right into her paws.  They spent time whisker kissing and paw patting.  Stinky said the boomies were not too bad and asked Periwinkle how things were at her house.  She said the boomies started Saturday night and were really loud and scary.

Periwinkle took Stinky's paw and they headed out to her Mom's car.  She told Stinky they had to hurry because they were going to a 4th of July parade.

Periwinkle told Stinky they were headed to the annual 4th of July Parade in a nearby town that was on the mainland.  They quickly arrived and Periwinkle promised her Mom she would call her when the parade is over.  The Tabbies found a good viewing spot in time for the start of the parade.

Both Periwinkle and Stinky noticed that people were smiling an pointing at them.  Finally, a nice lady came over and said word had spread that the famous Periwinkle and Stinky were there and asked if they would like to be part of the parade.  Both tabbies said "YES PLEASE" and off they went!

No sooner did they get to their vehicle when the parade started.  They were so excited to hear all the cheers and how many people called out their names!

The tabbies were invited to a 4th of July lunch and they were surprised to see how nice the selection of Temptations was.

Back at Periwinkle's house, Stinky admired the decorations...

They talked about the scary boomies and Stinky asked how Noelle was doing.  Periwinkle said her Mom was letting Noelle hang out with Huggy Kitty like she did for New Year's Eve.  Stinky remembered seeing Noelle in the closet with Huggy Kitty.

Periwinkle said Huggy Kitty was all ready for the fireworks. 

Before he had to leave, Stinky and Periwinkle helped Periwinkle's Mom put the flags out around her house.

Soon it was time for Stinky to head home. They spent some time snuggling, whisker kissing and paw patting and then he got into the Teleportation Tunnel to head home.  "I sure hope you don't have too many boomies" said Stinky as he stepped into the tunnel.

Periwinkle and Stinky, Noelle and Reesie and Mom Sharon wish you a safe, QUIET and happy Independence Day!

Monday Sparks

Wouldn't it be nice if people felt this way again?

 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.

1. When I _am punky__, it means that I am sick.

2. I  am TERRIFIED of__fireworks.  (Mom is going to use my huggy kitty that Sawyer gave me for Christmas to help keep me calm this year)

3. I have a newfound appreciation for _travel agents since I plan Adventures for myself and Stinky.__.

4. I think everyone should _have a boyfriend like Stinky_ so that  they could go on fun Adventures_
