EXTREME MAKEOVER

Notice anything different?

HMMMMM???


An Extreme Makeover perhaps?

Yes, I've figured out the precise measurements to make a decorative backgrounds for "Stretch Templates" and I figured out the HTML codes : )

Yes, I am a grin'in fool!

I wanted color & also a white background so that my graphics would blend in. I think I did it! Of course, I am hoping that you all will like it, too.

It's hard to believe that on the eve of Black Friday Autumn will officially be over and the Yule season begins. I really love Autumn. Loved it when I lived in the Mohawk Valley of NY, and even more when I lived in Glens Falls at the foot of the Adirondacks. The kids and I actually lived at the base of West Mt Ski Resort just a couple miles west of Glens Falls.

I guess the nip in the air tonight is making me feel nostalgic. It's 47 degree's right now and we are expecting a hard freeze. *Below 32 degrees for more than 3 hours.

Is this really west central Florida? Land of the warm sun that brings out the 'Peter Pan' in all those that experience her land??

The chill feels good. I have my electric blanket & a warm puppy to keep me warm. Miss Mau'i has foregone her hunting ways the past few nights & slept indoors in her crate. She loves her dark little kitty cave. No fuss, I say "time for bed", gently guide her cat butt in, and shut the door. She really is a good little cat.

Little? Did I say little??

A month ago, when she had her first dose of tapeworm medicine she weighed 7.5 lbs. Her back bone & hips were down right bony. I thought this little girl was going to be petite. Since that initial dose of worm medicine, the outline of her spine and hips has disappeared. *No more "wiggly linguine" BTW.

In fact there are times where I actually feel her tummy to see if there is fetal movement. LOL-I am such the Mid-Wife. She is filling out & if I didn't know better, I would swear she is with kittens.

If that be the case, Animal Control who did the spaying will be receiving a delivery. Yes, that is how much I think about her and IF she is expecting.

Then I've thought if she is, it would certainly be from an incestuous relationship with the bobbed tail, black & orange male that eats from her outdoor bowl from time to time. I call him 'Poppie", as I am certain that he must be her Daddy.

There was an orange male hanging around last winter and spring, that I haven't seen in ages. Thinking about it, he must be Maui's four brother's daddy, as they are all large muscular orange tigers.

Wondering? Are calico's markings less prevalent than other markings?

The SnowBirds seem happy to have a cat in the back of the RV Park. Apparently many returned to their RV's to find squirrel & mice nests with damage to wiring & refrigeration units. I thought I was going to hear a lot of grief about her not being on a leash! Even the grumpy old souls have remarked how nice it is to have a cat around to keep the squirrel and Fruit Rat populations down. I watch her attempt to hunt in the evening hours. She is such a clutz! The squirrels are still more muscular than her. But one day, she get her confidence & prowlness.

I know I'll probably be on the receiving end of kitty presents when she gets a bit stronger.

When the SnowBirds first started arriving a month ago, Mau'i would run under my deck & hide. Now she follows Jasmine & I down the middle of the road when we go for walks, just like before. She runs from tree to tree, peeking at me from above. As Jazzy and I continue our walk she'll run sideways, her tail poofed out. Then she'll hide under a trailer or bush, then jump out at us.....

Surprise!!
