    Morning Joan *waves*,
    A cloudy one here, but hopefully will lift as still quite early.

    Good morning KJ. Love the mousie theme and I’m sure the agency kitties do too!
    The gift one reminds me of Comet’s reaction to hubby tossing a mouse outside. He lunged to the door but I stopped him. He kept looking around, wondering what to do. Mentioned to hubby that if he tosses a mouse outside, do so when no one is looking!
    I’m super busy these days, so not much time to post. Next week may be a bit scarcer, as I have some lunchtime commitments. So I’m off to start my day. Leela and Comet say, “Meow/hello TDKrs!”

    Good morning, KJ and Joan! Aww, poor Comet having his mouse thrown out. Bummer! Love the theme and pics today. I always try to show the really funny ones to hubby. Today is definitely a sharing day. Hubby had a good laugh when I told him about Joan’s idea for a correction proof weekend cafe. Maybe he wants in?

    Morning KJ, Joan ECB! I love the theme too, although have only caught mice in the basement and cats aren’t allowed down there. It’s a cellar really in this old house and the only way to enter is through door outside. Why don’t the mice make it upstairs? Even my outside cats don’t mess with them much, too well fed I guess. If they catch them, they don’t eat them (thank goodness!!) but leave them for me to see, usually on the door mat (like kitty above lol) or by the car where they know I’ll see them when I get in… 😯
    Will check in with you all later, have a wonderful Thursday or as JK puts it Friday Eve!!

    Morning everyone! ….. we used to see mousies in NC, they would come in through the chimney ….. Abby caught her fair share, she was so proud! …. Haven’t seen any here in this historic home …. not really sure why, maybe because it’s on a 24″ crawlspace, not really sure….. we do have the occasional lizzard that will slip in, but Abby doesn’t let them get past the foyer ….. and she’s always mad when I take them away and toss them back outside! all that hard work for nothing 🙂

    …. I’ve got a busy day too, best get started! …. check you guys later! …. have a nice morning all!

    Love that pic! …..

    well, Mr. AV has done it now! …. he installed a security camera system, and the front porch camera is totally distracting me (just like a cat)! …. I have it up on the left monitor (I work on 3), and I’m mermerized watching the squirrels climb the tree just off the porch, or the fish jumping through the fountain in the pond! ….. not sure I’ll get too much work done with this new fangled thingy! LOL

    Wow, sounds like a nice distraction…better than surfing the ‘net…but NOT better than posting in TDK Land!
    Hey it’s still August & kits have brought in some pretty glads to share in the café today:
    glads in vase
    Glads usually bloom later in August around here…know there are versions that bloom earlier/depend on weather zone!
    OK, need another cuppa brew…back at it!

    yummm, that looks good, Deb! my Dau would especially like it, cause it has ‘tots’ in it 🙂

    …. haven’t seen Jr. today, it may be a little early for him…. I think he hangs out under the house in the shade while it’s hot, but usually comes around to see what’s up in the later afternoon ….. he’s such a cutie/orangie

    Hiya all. Skipping in for a milkshake – strawberry is my favourite. Dru can catch up with the cafe kits and maybe learn a little about mice. I am so torn when Louis catches mice. He is so proud but they are so tiny and pitiful. He always has a good roll on them, to flatten them out a bit….
    I bought the book about raising kittens, someone posted about it somewhere- can’t find it now. Dru has been a major learning experience for me (the small princess executes the perfect curtsy at this point and hopes the other kitties are impressed). Lolz- I need all the help I can get!
    I am getting an early start on the weekend by taking the day off tomorrow. Some paperwork to do, but nothing too taxing. I plan on a bit of shopping. Was thinking about some warm, soft blankets and found myself wondering which colour would suit Dru best (obsessed much?). Happy Thursday everyone, it’s the gateway to the weekend:)

    Well I’m way late to the Café today – and missed it! *Waves to anyone who will come in or is lurking about*
    Busy day but finally “home again, home again”. This am almost felt like I lived in gated community – not and LOL, as drilling was being done and street was closed off for drivers, which I’m not. Then had to settle situation where fire alarm inspectors will be visiting in 2 wks and we are expected to be at home 9-5. I’m a renter so let landlord know that I was not planning to stay at home all day anytime soon. Bldg mgmt would make no concessions whatsoever. But KJ used resources and contacted one of the administrators. Very kind lady who chatted with me a bit and will let inspectors in when I am out as she is in for the day. Better still she has the sweetest little kitty, Abby, same age as Dorry, but super-shy girl as rescue from bad situation and kitty wouldn’t let me come near. Dorry on the other hand did his usual meet-and-greet when lady came upstairs to see him and she was enchanted! That’s my boy! So I feel that I can trust her for the 2 secs it takes inspectors to ensure that indeed I have properly functioning fire alarms. Also told her about TDK.
    KZ, good that kits are not allowed in basement, abode of the infamous Basement Cat, whom I nonetheless love as per all black kitties.
    ECB, I would think that Mr. ECB is most welcome to post in Weekend Lounge. All he needs to do is say, Mr. ECB here …
    I probably will not post much as I will be triple-checking every word lest I make a non-correctable error LOL.
    AV, has Milo Jr. stopped by your place? Or have you sleuthed out his home turf?
    JK, sad that I missed you but always appreciate your presence. Same goes for Judith.
    Evening Joan! JK’s “borrowed” pic of Comet with mouse in food bowl has power to put me off my own noms for quite some time which for me would be a very bad situation LOL – yes and no.

    Afternoon all!
    … KJ, I know that Jr. lives two doors down, but there are 4 apts. there, so I’m not sure which one his hoomas live in ….. He dropped in for a quick bite and then jumped in the tree next to the porch to chase a squirrel …. I had quite a laugh watching it on my front porch camera … did I mention it’s a terrible distraction?! LOL

    … got SO much done today (yay!) … why is it that somedays things just roll along nicely, and others you can take one step forward without 2 steps backward?!? … glad it was the former, not the latter!! … if things go as well tomorrow, I might (hopefully, paws crossed) not have to work over the weekend …. altho, will work the Monday holiday, but that’s ok!

    I need to shop this weekend for some birthday presents – SIL and 18 year old nephew …. he wants a lava lamp (seriously, how retro! LOL) … will need to search where I can possibly buy one …. any ideas?

    … just popped some teriyaki drumsticks in the oven, and am simmering a pot of field peas with snap beans to serve over some fluffy rice…

    AV, here’s a whole page of retro lava lamps at good old Walmart:
    http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/lava-lamps
    Probably could find them at Amazon too.
    From KJ, your friendly TDK researcher. 🙂 I actually get paid (sometimes) to do research.

    *skids into cafe, better late than never*
    Hanging out at the farmers market at the shelter booth with Ian, Ivy and Ivanka – the fosters. They are 3 weeks old! Sister is with them 24/7 for a few more weeks. The booth gets lots more attention with the babies and the donation jar is looking good!
    Just watched a guy twirl fire – how cool!
