So, Bat is the Teacher's Pet 

 Bat is such a cutie here promoting Social Distancing and this movie came to mind I had seen years ago starring Clark Gable and Doris Day, Teacher's Pet.  Watch this scene, so funny. An oldie but a good one.

p.s. This is my little escape, posting silly things I love. It seems to be working for me at the moment and hopefully for you who reads this post.

Take care and stay safe 🙏🌏😻🇨🇦

The Old Cat and The Tough Old Bird

Karson, our church cat will be turning 16 years old this coming May 3rd, which makes him about 104 years old in humans years? 

When I think of growing old, I think of a few quotes I read some time ago. 
There's this one by Richard Gere

'Do not regret growing older, It's a privilege denied to many.' ~ Richard Gere 

Appreciating old age and keeping healthy both in body and mind as best I can, these days I try to limit myself from news feeds and often escape to places where I can have happy thoughts. My husband, daughter and I have taken up the routine of tuning in every afternoon to Ricky Gervais's live Twitter videos, they make us laugh and that's a good thing. 

It's wise to keep informed just so you know where you stand but too much information I have come to realize makes me not feel very good. Finding that happy place is necessary to keep one's sanity and avoid becoming increasingly depressed and sick.

A happy place for me is watching the old movie flicks. Maybe I can coax hubby and daughter to watch this one more time...lol

SOME LIKE IT HOT 




Here is a clip from Some Like it Hot on TCM channel / Facebook

♥️ Three-quarters of a century-old and he is still an adorable pussycat.♥️

Josephine: Well, there they are. More millionaires than you can shake a stick at.
Sugar: I'll bet there isn't one under seventy-five.
Josephine: Seventy-five. That's three-quarters of a century. Makes a girl think.
Sugar: Let's hope they brought their grand-sons along. 

Karson, his furry paw on my hand, love❣️😺

 No matter your age, inside you are still young. Life in all it's imperfections is still beautiful. And the human spirit never dies. I think I can still work on becoming that tough old bird. 

  STAY AT HOME AND SAVE LIVES

My little menagerie of collected animal statuettes from my country thrift store jaunts. Can you tell I'm old? ... lol 

'I'm afraid I'm not very good with people. I'm alright with animals but people, I'm not very good with, I never have been.' ~ Doctor Dolittle played by Rex Harrison 1967 

We are somewhat in the country and I am very happy about that but I always wanted to escape somewhere farther out, like forever, and spending time with a good book now allows me to be there. Some time ago I read a story by James Herriot, 'The Card Above the Bed'. It told the story of an elderly lady fearing she never would be with her pets in heaven. James Herriot replied, 'Well, I don't believe it. I patted the hand which still grasped mine. If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. You've nothing to worry about there.'

...' Oh, I hope you're right.'

Three Cats, A Dog, and A Camera When my daughter, Emma opened her Instagram account she named it 'Three Cats, A Dog, and A Camera' Grace was still with us. 

The above picture of our Grace was taken back on Aug 14/ 2013 The bottle of Cataroma was a toy M bought for Grace so not making fun of the virus just interesting.

“You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.” Robert Louis Stevenson

To me, my past is a sweet, safe place to be, and through the medium of this book I shall spend a little time there now and then.' ~ James Herriot

So, I will read a few good books, practice a little piano, paint, stay connected by writing posts, even with my terrible, terrible grammar and some time soon take that much-needed walk in the countryside and pick pussy willows I saw yesterday. It's the time!

Oh and if you have not seen this video of Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger then now would be a good time.

Treating animals like people is no madness or disgrace'.

~ Doctor Dolittle 1967 

Time is never wasted with cats or with your pets.

So on that note, I think I'll play a little hide and seek with Bat.

Stay safe and remember ... Help our front line responders risking their lives for ours. Stay Home!!!♥️🙏 🤗 🐱🐶 

Johnathan was Here. ̼

Spring has arrived and these seagulls where a sight to see.

A Lift to the Spirit♥️🙏🌎

Home, for the moment, is our refuge...Rosebud🌹

The news this morning...stay at home.

Its a broken record on repeat, people sick of hearing it but the truth is its good advice for everyone. 

We are not the bird in a cage or the boy in the bubble we have the freedom to take a walk whenever the need should arise. 

I wrote a post ~ Rosebud 🌹 over a year ago when my husband and I were thinking of early retirement. 

Looking back now, I see we made the right choice.

Stay At Home 🏡

Spring 🌱 fogging this morning, all is calm and quiet, the cats are sleeping, just the way I like it and perfect to enjoy some beautiful music with the earmuffs on ☺️....still listening to this gorgeous piano piece.
