that darn cat

Hope you are all having a Happy Easter today. It’s raining hard here so I decided to do a short post on Midas. I take pictures constantly of him and am thankful to have this outlet to share a few of them with you.

Midas really wants to lay on my puzzle table a lot more now. Maybe the lamp keeps him warm? Of course that can spell disaster to a puzzle in progress. Especially if I have them sorted to my liking. I catch him up there pretty often. He looks a little devilish in that light doesn’t he?

“Please get down Midas” or “ no -no Midas” doesn’t work anymore. So I gently take him off.

Then I catch him on the chair peeking in at me through the curtains. Hmmm?

He mistakenly thinks the coast is clear.

I didn’t have the heart to move him that time. Probably a big mistake, do you think?

I finished the puzzle with 1 piece missing. Uh oh, Midas? it was a brand new puzzle? We looked and re- looked, no luck. Then jerry, who is so good at finding dropped pieces, found it, quite a ways from the table.
Uh oh, Midas?

He does have so many other places to nap,

he gets the sun here in our new chairs during the cold days,

I guess he is even sleeping there at night because I see him there in the morning looking out the window when I wake up.


he really has the run of the house; here he is taking his bath in the comfort of another chair,

and of course he will always find our laps to snooze on to keep warm.
Snoring and purring 🙂

As you know he’s been lounging on the front porch for years and has slept on every chair out there at some point. But the other day he came into the back yard while we were visiting with Celia and found a chair to lay in for the first time.

Our Midas is a treasure that we ‘treasure’ every day he is with us.

Well, the sun finally came out so the kids across the street and friends got to come out and find the hidden Easter eggs after all. It sure looked doubtful for awhile. The little girls all dressed in pink got to come out first.


did Melody hunt for eggs this year Hannah?

I have news to share on another post

so stay tuned

Here we go again

Hello there, did you all remember to spring forward and move your clocks ahead one hour for daylight saving time?

We usually do at least the kitchen clock before bed but it slipped our minds last night. It’s pretty easy to know what time it is though, duh. But to remedy that situation I just ordered an atomic wall clock for the kitchen. They’re inexpensive now. Hope it works.

California passed a bill in 2018 to keep daylight saving time, but it takes 2/3 vote of the assembly and senate, the governor’s signature and congress to change the rules! WOW! Well we shall see when, where and if, it will change.

now on to other stuff…

Hope you all had a nice Valentine’s Day. We were treated to a lovely dinner at Frank and Linda’s. We are so spoiled having restaurant type meals served to us right next door. 💗
