    It’s a chilly, blustery day here in northern New Jersey. The lounge, however, sports the best of everything – a gentle breeze floating in from the water near the patio, and a fire in the big stone fireplace. The patio side reminds me of a time when I thought I caught a vision of the Meadow, where Shaddo showed me all the things that are impossible here. Like playing in tiny inlets of water without getting wet. The water was clear as crystal, the grass was an indescribably beautiful shade of green that I’ve never seen, and there was a never-ending aura about the sky. The fireplace side reminds me of the comfort and happiness that can be had on a cold winter day; the fire burns at just the right temperature while one can look out the floor to ceiling windows and see a fresh blanket of snow, with light snow falling. Snow covered trees can be seen at then edge of the clearing, and snow-capped mountains lie beyond the rolling snow covered hills.
    Agency kitties, however, think nothing of playing on one side one day, and the other the next! Speaking of which, and amazing fresh hot and cold buffet awaits TDKr’s, and chef kitties, as always await your custom order. You can even order a formal 11 course dinner – they threw in some extra courses!
    Welcome!

    Hi AV – I hope the agency kitties inspire you. You might find something if you dig around some of the threads here – we sure do talk food often! Oh and don’t feel bad at all about the wonderful weather, happiness in posts shines thru in ways you might not realize!
    Nirmal, I do hope you feel better. Ugh, how annoying to suddenly feel icky. The wind whipping around your skyscrapers must be wicked.

    Today is the 30 year anniversary of the flood of 1984. I lived in the valley then and at the time that was the 100 year flood. I’ll never forget how fast the water came up, (special thanks to whoever opened those d**m flood gates all the way) the street turning into a raging river, the driveway a fast moving stream, everyone’s stuff getting pushed into our hedge, cars under water, and how cold the water was when we were picked up by the National Guard. In the aftermath I remember the news crews, the assistance of the Red Cross, and the gawkers who managed to get int the area.

    LOL, see how much I know about the city??

    Just had a scare. Came inside and there must have been a cat behind me because Comet took off like, well, a comet. I screamed “NO!” and ran after him, fortunately he stopped long enough in a neighbor’s yard for me to grab him.

    #805274

    Its ok! Before i moved here i didnt know either. I learned alot in 4 years! πŸ™‚

    Glad comet is ok! Maybe ill submit my roomies kits when i get to take a pic of them. πŸ™‚

    Joan, thank goodness Comet is OK, but that must have been a panic!!!

    And thanks for seeing us into the Weekend Lounge with such moving words. Comet’s misadventure must have occurred just after he left my place. Your kitties are delightful guests and are welcome back anytime. Comet and Dorry bonded and Miss Leela charmed me as always. It was a tad chilly so your kits went through my virtual prowl-in closet for knits. Comet opted for a Fisherman-style boy kitty look, while Miss Leela chose a soft blue cardi. Gifts from me.

    Buttons, in the short time that seemed like way longer, I was so scared I couldn’t remember his name – couldn’t call for him. Had he gone further it would have been much harder. In my yard alone I had to jump over a rock wall and run thru bushes. He has a collar on that has a bell, as well as his license, and he is chipped, but the thought of looking for a black cat in a neighborhood with many black cats is frightening.

    Thank you for the gifts, Leela and Comet thank you for a wonderful time. Dorry and Comet swapped stories that I’ll bet neither of us know about, and Leela and Shadz have the same pale pink claw polish. Leela also wanted to thank you for keeping her warm and cozy, it was one of the things she was hesitant of. Unlike Comet, she is very happy in her home, but is comfortable with the wormhole. Oh and I hope you received the bouquet of flowers they picked out for you – there were daiseys and carnations and 2 pink roses.

    Joan, hope that both you and Comet (mainly you, I’ll guess) have calmed down after Comet’s near escape. Thank your kitties for the bouquet, which bring some Spring into my place, although we are told that it will be +14 on Monday, hmmm.

    Well half-way thru my shift and it can’t come any sooner, voices in my ears and they are about non-stop this evening.

    See that Michigan is getting hit again with snow, come on Spring where are you for most of the States?

    Happy Sunday morning all! ….. whew! glad Comet didn’t escape! I’ve had similar scares with Cuddles, but fortunately, (I think because she was a hurricane rescue) Abby is too terrified of the outdoors, and has no interest/desire to even see what’s outside!

    ….. looking forward to today, my brother is coming over this morning and we’re going to walk the bayshore to our favorite breakfast place, and then walk to the fresh market that is held in our neighborhood hub the first sunday of each month ….. lots of cool crafts, fresh produce, local honey, etc!

    …. hoping everyone has a great Sunday!

    Morning AV, Happy Sunday morning to you too! Oh a nice walk and breakfast sounds good πŸ™‚

    It scares me all the time because I keep thinking that one of the Crew will get outside and then the chase would be on, Kitty tries lately to step out and I put my foot in front of him to keep him inside.

    Working with a crazy one tonight, lazy boy seems to have lost his mind πŸ™

    Sounds like a lovely day you have planned, AV!
    Sorry you have to work with crazy & brainless, Deb.
    I knew if Comet had an open door and a cat was outside, there would be a high speed chase. Hope it never happens again, was lucky yesterday.

    Morning Joan πŸ™‚ Honestly I sat across the room from him because he has been blabbering on and on for the last few months when he bothers to come in at all….so I was safer than my co-worker who is sitting next to him. Lol, the last time Kitty got out, it was chase on….he went under all the neighbors’ cars and stayed just out of reach for about an hour….I finally started towards the house and he beat me to the door, he wanted treats afterwards….silly boy, of course he got them.
