Sunday – 12/6/2016 – Russia Day

Peeks in, lovely piccies as usual, thanks PG!

Well getting ready for another night @ ‘that place’ again….at least it has air conditioning which my house is currently lacking….

No AC, Deb? I hope that’s just temporary.

Very cute pics….web posted on cat…lol. And we have that same iron curtain in our fireplace here. Pretty sure the cats (probably Eko) have explored back there during the night once or twice. Found a black, sooty paw print. :).

We did our annual blueberry picking yesterday morning. Aunt joined us and we had breakfast at Denny’s first….yummy….nice time. Our goal was not to bring home quite as many berries this year, simply because of lack of freezer space…otherwise I’d load up. We did end up with less because the bushes were a bit picked over….turned out perfectly. Oh, and I made my favorite healthy-ish blueberry muffin recipe and we had them this morning.

Good morning – no more vodka for kittah!
No a/c sucks, Deb, hope you can get it fixed soon. At least it’s cool at that place.
There’s something about cats wearing kerchiefs that cracks me up! Sounds like HRH is in the mood for hooman warmth. Comet was in his basket earlier, only because it was part of a fort made from a sheet hung on the stairs to dry.
Blueberries, yay! They are not quite in season yet, but will be soon. It’s so nice you make an annual event of it, ECB.
What a good time on the waterfront, AV! I love watching the rain come in off the water. Summer weekend traffic has started here, with folks bringing their boats to Greenwood Lake or hiking the many trails around here. Me, I like to stay in my quaint community, though we will soon get the itch to go to the drive in about 20 minutes away in New York State or have dinner on the lake.

Hi all – had a lovely afternoon at the street fair in my hometown. Visited sister at the shelter tent, donated to the Marines and child cancer research, bought 2 pretty rings and 2 summer tops. Then got a strawberry smoothie, funnel cake and 2 empanadas: cheese and apple. Had to sit to enjoy my goodies, so I walked a short distance to the cemetery and ate with my dad. One bite of the cheese empanada and I told dad that even though he and everyone around me is in heaven, I’m there too, it was sooo good! Now of course I don’t want dinner…

I love empanadas and make them myself, whether meat or vegetarian. They get hoovered up by guests in a few minutes…

Joan, what do you mean by giving to the Marines, who are obviously funded by the government? Is it a special fund for veterans or injured servicepeople?

We say hello to our Russian neighbours across the Arctic Circle. There are Siberian Forest Cats as well as Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats, with fur for the cold.

Glad it’s a nice day, MS. It’s breezy and a bit cool here – good sleeping weather. Mac is snuggled next to me, purring and enjoying the good life. Funny that Shadz stays with you instead of sleeping in her basket by the fire.
I’m guessing mum will find it less drafty/cold away from the window. I had an electric blanket as a kid but hubby doesn’t like them so I haven’t had one in years.
Those empanadas come stuffed with other things so they must be very close to what you have. I think the ones he had available at the fair were chicken, beef, pork and lobster. The apple tasted like a delicious tart and the cheese, well, I mentioned the cheese!
