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?
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.
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

Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
We always knew Midas was a card, but we see now that he is a puzzle, or at least an enigma, as well. Your photo and comments convey his playful charm. It is raining in Costa Mesa, though it indeed was sunny when we left Cal Heights.
Melody is sweetly beautiful and jolly as always! Hannah takes great pics.
Happy Easter everyone 🐰🐣🌷
A cat in the house is a warm and comforting creature. Midas does his job well, testing the furniture stuffing, warming the seats, blessing the rooms with his regal presence and thrusting his tail straight up in the air as he exits and lets you know he approves. his mischievousness tickles your heart by filling the gap of the long ago impish toddlers who have moved on to raise families of their own toddlers blooming far too soon into teens.
Midas is so stinking cute – I could not move him from that spot on the puzzle either, his cute comfort will be worth the missing piece! That pic of him in the chair in the sun looks so much like Zoros coat! More confirmation they must be related! Happy Easter Grandma 🙂 -Jess
Jerry looks like the best way to have a cat to me…
Hope to see you soon…
Loved Midas’s story. Great pics, especially peeking through the curtain, thinking he’s totally hidden, so cute. Yes, his guilty look sitting on your puzzle table makes him a prime suspect for the missing puzzle piece. Loved all the napping pics. Midas is a treasure, indeed. The “I’m reading with Mommy” pic is precious. The “two nappers” pic warmed my heart. Thank you for such a lovely post, so nice of you to share with us. Hope you had a Happy Easter, too. Love you, Celia
King Midas does have that golden touch in your hearts. He must be a very happy cat. It’s a great story of how you won his confidence and he became an indoor cat after so many years.
Love all the pictures – especially of Hannah and Melody. - Love, Sharon.
Midas is so cutie! He’s got some attitude too 😛 Thank you for coming down to hang out with us on saturday. So glad I got to see you both before I went back ❤

Nice to see Midas enjoying his retirement from the street life. And happy he keeps you both company anywhere he pleases (even on top of your puzzle!). xo
Hard to believe Midas wouldn’t come in the house for YEARS!
