Washington Progress and a New Buddy

First for my new buddy! Since Sandy is still missing, I put my foot down last night with my dad and told him I was picking up a kitten from grandma’s  today. And when Sandy does decide to show up, we will be a 2 cat household! He didn’t object and asked that I get the newest black kitten instead of Ebenezer. Now for the dilemma: a NAME! My sis is coming over after work to help me with that. So, for now, I present my new little buddy:

Yeah, his eyes are still matted and he has fleas. All will be remedied soon enough! But ain’t he a cutie pie!!!

 

And progress on Washington Monument:

Until next time…

Yes, what a cutie pie...I love kittens, well all cats, but I seldom get an actual kitten. I seem to adopt adult cats when I have a cat. Right now I can't have one, but I do feed the strays!

Your Washington Monument stitching pictures is coming along nicely!

What a sweetie! We had a little black one like that for 15 years before she went to kitty heaven...my boys named her Panthor after the black cat in HeMan!

Hmmm... Stitch does have a ring to it. I'll see what my sis comes up with and then decide.

How sweet -- my first cat was a black cat and he was baaaad! but I loved him lots. How about Slick? as in oil.

Holi-versary Giveaway!

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Image
Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

Well, it’s almost here! I am almost 40!! Why do I sound so happy about it you might be wondering. Most people get to this age and act as though their world is coming to an end. I choose to look at it in a positive way: I am STILL ALIVE!!! I know HE has a plan for me and my life. I am thankful everyday that I wake up. I am also thankful for my stitchy friends here in bloggy-land. Just because we don’t know one another on a personal level doesn’t mean we don’t know one another, right?! So, I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all. I am going to do a giveaway. Yup! I will call it “My 40th Year Giveaway”. What will be included in this giveaway you might ask? Well, stay tuned!
