Poetic Thankful Thursday

 

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

Today's photo prompt is

The Bingo Ladies

They come every week

Bingo is not for the meek.

You'd better pay attention

Waiting for one number causes tension

After a while, you learn the lingo

You don't want to mistakenly yell Bingo.

Mom remembers going to Bingo with her Mom and her Nana.  The die-hard players had a ton of cards

and were very serious about the game.  They had no patience for beginners.  Plus, in those days, there was a ton of smoke in the bingo hall.

Today is also Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Today we are THANKFUL for all the beautiful Birmans that we have shared our lives with.  Birmans have color points just like Siamese so, while not officially MEEZERS, they can celebrate today too!

Our newest Furkid, Reesie, is a Chocolate Lynx Point Birman.  Lynx points are also called Tabby Points.  Here is the official CFA description:

CHOCOLATE TABBY POINT: body ivory with little shading. Pale body coat is desirable, preferably free from body markings; however, body shading of light ghost striping toning with the points is acceptable. Points, except for gloves, milk chocolate markings on a light bronze agouti background. Solid markings on the back of the hind legs should be a milk chocolate color, warm in tone. Tail color, with the exception of the rings, should be milk chocolate in color. Nose leather: pink to brick colored outlined in chocolate to tone with the points. A solid color nose leather to tone with the point color is acceptable.

We're very THANKFUL for our beautiful Reesie.
