Evening all,

So I'm going to give a shout out to the 3 cats I've been lucky enough to share my home with:

1. Poppy - this is my dearly departed elderly kitty who left me last year at the grand old age of 18.5


2. Church - this is one of the 2 rescues I adopted at the end of last year when I realised my home had a cat shaped hole in it. He's 2 and a bit of a timid big softie, who's really come out of his shell a lot since he moved in. It took him 6 weeks to realise he could jump up on my bed or sit on my lap, and now I can't get rid of him



3. Jonesy - this is the other rescue I adopted. He's 18 months and unsurprisingly for a ginger cat, a bit of a loud chatterbox who sticks his nose into anything and everything. But still loves a cuddle.

Today's Topic (Thu, 1/22) - 3 things you're grateful for with dots, spots, etc.

I love clothes with dots !!!!!
I have a white sweater with pink dots on it it just reminds me so much of Minnie mouse

I have a white shirt a little red Mickey heads on it it looks like it’s a white shirt with red dots but it’s a little Mickey heads it’s the only shirt I own that’s dry clean only and I bought it just because it had little Mickey heads on it it’s so cute but it looks like a little dots it’s so adorable I only wear it on cruises

I have about six hand towels that are different colors with dots they interchange them through the week I like them because I think they’re fun

Used to have a black dress with white dots it was one of my favorite dresses

I absolutely love clothes with dots if I see something I will usually buy it I’m a huge fan of clothes with dots

Good Thursday Morning

#1 - NONPARELS - Some people calls them snow caps. It’s a dark chocolate candy with white nonparels on top. It’s one of my favorite candies.

#2 - BLACK SHIRT WITH WHITE SPOTS - It’s the only spotted thing I own. I wear it with my red capris and people tell me it’s my Minnie Mouse outfit, which isn’t true because Minnie’s skin isn’t spotted, but her red dress is. I don’t say anything, I just go with it

#3 - LADYBUGS - I love them because they remind me of me of my grandmas house. She had a lot of them by her house. They are supposed to give you good luck if they land on you. Once one landed on my DD22 when she was 13 right before a make or break softball game. I told her she’s got good luck now and she ended up having a flawless game and the team won. Now….i don’t believe in this, because all things happen due to God’s will and blessings, but it’s still fun to think about ladybugs giving you good luck.

Daisy - Our last dog had spotted skin. It did not match her coat but you could see the spots all over her tummy and even inside of her mouth. We lost her unexpectedly right around this time 7 years ago.

Leopard Ring - I recently was going through my jewelry and came across something I bought in high school that I haven't worn in ages. It's a yellow gold leopard ring. The head faces sideways and the spotted band symbolizing its body wraps around my finger. It has ruby eyes. I remember saving up babysitting money to buy it. The black enamel in its spots has worn off but the spots were indented. I think I like it better with the indented gold spots vs the more prominent black.

Chocolate Chip Cookies - OK, maybe a bit of a stretch here, but the overall appearance of the cookie (especially if it's got a good chocolate to cookie ratio) looks dotted. I find it nearly impossible to resist a warm and gooey fresh baked one.

They count, and I second them!

I'm also grateful for Minnie Mouse items and polka dot scrapbooking paper.
