Blest Sunday: The Final Ride of the 2019 Blessing Train

Meow-llo Dear Furiends and welcome to the last Blest Sunday of 2019; and this year’s final ride of the annual Blessing Train. And what a ride it’s been. We feel so Blest to have so many amazin’ furiends join us. We know you all probably don’t feel Blest all the time. Nopawdy does. We all have our share of bad times and sorrows.   

  (more…)

                Oh sissy, this has been so much fun, I’s don’t want it to end. Take the badge below to post on your bloggy.

        Well Raena, it doesn’t end, Blessings still abound, we just don’t run the Train every week. It’s pawrt of our special holiday celebrations. Meowin’ of holiday celebrations and Blessings, we received some pawsum gifts this week. Furst, me would like to say a meowsy big fank you to Valentine and awnty Kerry fur me’s new plush blankey. 

            I’s wanna lay on it too sissy. 

      It’s me’s blankey Raena, they sent it to me, not you!!! (Dezi sees mommy A frown)

But, me will share. There’s purrlenty of room fur all of us, mommy included. 

                    Fanky fanks sissy. We also received some silvervine, mice and blinkin’ lemurs from awnty Vonda. I’s luvs those blinkin’ lemurs almost as much as I’s luvs the vine. And she sent us some green papers on top. We sure do ‘purreciate it. And, we told mommy that we wanted to share some vine with our pals Spook and Jubal. I’s snoopervised the amount that went into the baggie. We don’t wanna share so much they get too hard to handle now.

Mommy even said she’d let us have a few bites of the tasty ham. There’s also some tasty Hawaiian rolls that mommy furgot to take a foto of. She was too busy tryin’ to get one outta the package fur pictures. MOL

                      Our furst stop this week was to pick up sissy’s fellow Cat Scout and our long time furiend, Pete Hartley. We met Pete and his family shortly after we got our computer on a feline friendly site where sissy and Lexi furst encountered his sister Talley of the Hairballz riders. Fanky fank you fur joinin’ us.   

        Next up, we headed a little North to pick up another long time furiend and brofur to Raena’s big floofy tailed crush, Simon, (whispers) don’t tell her me told ya’ that, Brian and family. And did you know, today is Brian’s 11th Gotchaday? Sure nuff. Head on over and wish him well.  

                  Our next stop took us to Jerusalem Israel to pick up long time pals the JCats, Queen Trixie, Caspurr and Shimshi. They have some great pawrties in the enchanted forest near where they live. Fanky fank ya’ll fur joinin’ us. I’s think it’s so cool to have furiends so far away. Don’t you sissy?   

        Yeah Raena, and meowin’ of far away, our next stop took us to the UK to Bionic Basil’s Headquaters to pick up long time furiends Basil and the B-team. Me still thinks you should enquire ‘bout joinin’ the B-Team Raena. You’d fit right in. They have some great adventures. Fank ya’ll fur joinin’ us. 

                  Oh sissy, I’s would luvs to go on an adventure with Basil and the B-Team. Anyways, that wraps up this weeks stops. Remember, join us next week fur the last ride of the year. The post will go live Caturday at 7 pm in case you wanna link up, and we’ll be listing all of this year’s purrticipants. As sissy meowed earlier, there’s still time to join up. Pick up your boxcar here and get it to us so we can get you added.

I’s gonna go link us up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies, and then I’s thought maybe we could all cuddle in your new blankey.

Meowin’ of gifts, we wanna say a meowsy big fank you to our bestest Princess pal Erin fur the furtastic gift box. There was somethin’ in it fur all of us, mommy included. There might have been a brief moment of whacky pawin’ to determine who got to play with the nip nanner furst. Of course me thought it should be me. After all, me’s the oldest and Erin’s been me’s furiend longer than yours.

Blest Sunday: Blessing Train How To

Meow-llo Dear Furiends. Ya know we had a week full of storms that finally ended with a little sunshine yesfurday. But, do you know what mommy said was in the furcast fur next week? SNOW!!! Can you believe it? The nasty white stuffs is s’posed to make it’s furst appearance of the season next week. As far as me’s concerned, it could stay away furever.

    (more…)

                  Uh sissy, I’s think you mean, what a time mommy had, cuz mommy says we acted like the cats from you know where. All mommy wanted was a couple of nice fotos of us with awnty Ava, and we couldn’t even give her that. 

  Me Raena and awnty Ava

                Meow fur yourself Raena, at least me didn’t try to squirm loose or give her the o’l stink eye.     

  Me Dezi and awnty Ava.

                Sure sissy, whatever you meow. That’s why awnty Ava said, “My, what big eyes you have ” to you when you were sittin’ in her lap. Even after she brought you a Birthday gift.   

  Purrlease Raena, me does have big eyes. Mommy’s always talked ‘bout me’s big eyes. Thing is, we don’t act so furiendly in our own house. We do much better when we’re out and about or at somepawdy else’s house. But, me does wanna meow a fank you to awnty Ava fur the treats and ‘pawlogize fur not bein’ more furiendly. She got us 2 whole bags. Now we gotta talk mommy into givin’ ‘em to us. Meowin’ of birthday gifts, me also wants to meow fank you to awnty Vonda and awnty Anonymous fur the green papers. Mommy’s purromised to let me go shoppin’ soon.   

            Are you gonna share whatever you get sissy?   

  We’ll see Raena. (mumbles to herself) Like me has a choice, mommy makes me share everything.

                While we’re meowin’ out fanky fank yous sissy, I’s wanna fanky fank awnty Susan, fur the new heatin’ pad/mat and mommy’s new compression stockings. And, mommy wants to fanky fank awnty Ava fur the pawsum visit they had and the lunches and the green papers. Mommy got to go to awnty Ava’s home on wheels and spend time with Christy Paws and her brofurs, Echo and Ocean.    

  Christy begs for treats while Ocean looks on and Echo turns away

from mommy’s flashy box.

      Yeah Raena, mommy said they had a great visit. She also said Echo and Ocean warmed up to her really fast and she got some pawsum kitty luvvin’ time. Seems they acted much better than we did. Guess we need to work on our hospitality a bit.  

  Mommy still can’t take selfies, but here she is with awnty Ava.

                True sissy, we are Southern Belles after all; we should fur sure be more cordial to visitors. ‘Course, ifin we had ‘em more offen, we might have learned some manners. Mommy also says, we’ve gotten a little less furiendly to visitors since this whole ‘pawrtment makeover thing happened. She says she thinks it stressed us out more than we’re lettin’ on. She says she knows we can feel things aren’t back to normal and how stressed out this whole thing has made her. Anyways, we do ‘pawlogize fur not bein’ our floofy floppy selves. 

    True Raena. Me also wants to fank everypawdy fur the birthday wishes. Mommy says she’s gonna help me read ‘em tomorrow. Don’t furget ‘bout me’s big end of year furiendship pawrty. You can get the details here.   

  Raena’s friendship pawrty foto with the symbols of friendship.

                Don’t furget the Blessing Train sissy. Just a few short weeks and the train will be leavin’ the station fur her annual run ‘round the world. Just grab a boxcar from below and decorate it however you like along with what your Blessing is. Then send it to us at [email protected] befur December 22, 2019. We’ll be adding cars each week thru out December. It’s gonna be so much fun!!! I’s gonna head over to the Kitties Blue and link us up fur Sunday Selfies right quick, and then we should ask mommy fur some of your birthday treats.  

         Just an example. We had some pawsum box cars submitted last year.

      Sounds good Raena. Me can’t hardly wait fur December. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Thank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Blest Sunday: The Blessing Train Is Coming

MeOW  C’mon RaenaBelle, it’s Blest Sunday. Time to count our Blessings. And, since it’s also December, me thought it would be pawsum to bring back the Blessing Train fur our countdown to Christmas.
