This afternoon I will be leaving for over the mountains and through the woods to second son’s house we go. It’ll be me and my youngest this time. There will be a belated birthday present from each of us in it for him. I can hardly put anything in the car ahead of time except the extra quilt and my own pillow. Anything else will freeze. It is 4 here where I am with a windchill of -0. I am all too aware that is a heatwave against what so many of the blog family are facing every day. We have this and one more of bitter cold, then it will moderate to the normal 20’s. The heat unit is going to town out there! I will be so glad when my new windows arrive and they get them installed. There is a right nippy breeze always cruising thru the house. With those, the breeze should lessen (I got the argon ones..costs more but may as well) and the noise should be less too from outside.
Miss Catt doesn’t know yet that I am leaving. She will realise though, somewhere about the time I take the huge can’t-say-what-they-ares out to the vehicle. I can’t say because the son they are intended for may see this. Right now she is sacked out on my bed (the fleece blanket is welcoming to her little self) and not thinking ahead. (we should do the same..save a lot of useless needless worry that way).
I have all of her things out for my good friend who will feed and look in on her while I am gone. Our main concern is the almost 0 temps coming for the weekend. The pipes have never had a problem since I have had the house. Must be all the warm air leaking down under the house from up here!!! I hope I am kidding. But in any case, we have had 18 below zero, and most Winters have the temps we are having now, and so far, so good. It’s one of those things where you sort of don’t like leaving in case something happens but nothing will happen so you may as well go on. Hope there will be no snow in the mountains on the way home. We are supposed to get some here Sunday evening. I should be home before then.
I will look in on you guys while I am gone. Take good care of yourselves..stay safe and remember Miss Catt gets installed in her Office soon! . Fancy Feast in every pot, she always says.
Hope your trip is safe and fun. I\’m sure Miss Catt will be OK, but if she\’s anything like Kitt-Kitt, her nose will be out of joint for a day or so upon your return. When we left our dog and cats last summer for a week, Kitt-Kitt wouldn\’t even let me touch her for two days after we got home. She was P***ed!
Have a great time. Will Miss Catt punish you when you get home for leaving her? Have a safe trip and enjoy every minute of it.Hugs
Have a safe trip. Love, Marilyn
Is it true that Morris the cat and Garfield will be keynote speakers at Miss Catt\’s swearing in? We have the same weather here. Have a good time visiting with your son.
Have a safe trip. Can you sneak the stuff out while she\’s sleeping? Be sure to take some pictures for us, OK?
Drive safe. Take tons of pics with His Majesty.
Even I don\’t cater to her that much. 😉 (taking things when she is asleep) All the better if she sees me and says " There she goes, Again. I\’ll show her!"
Have a safe trip. Looking forward to all the photos you\’ll take! I didn\’t realize it got that cold in your neck of the woods! Poor little Miss Catt – being left with a sitter!
Drve careful and be safe on your trip. Cant\’ wait to see all the great photos you will take along the way and when you get there.HugsSherry
It is always a sad moment when the feline realizes you are leaving and tries to hide in your suitcase!
Have a good trip. I\’m loving the pics you\’ve been posting. Thanks for your comment, it\’s always nice to see your comments. 🙂
Fine just blow us off (the crew heading towards r u serious\’ place) tee hee ha ha We are heading down there! HONK HONK!!! be safe on your journey as well!! ttfn
poor miss cat !!!! Have a great time and be careful driving Beth
Poor kitty! Animals do have an uncanny ability to get when we\’re leaving sooner or later. I couldn\’t believe our forecast today of fifties or near fifties for the next several days….\’bout darn time! Many people have taken falls on the lingering ice from the last cool down we had. Ice that\’s formed from the thaw and freeze cycle is the worst…it can linger well into spring. I pray you have a great visit with your son…safe journy to you…both ways!
Have a wonderful time with your sons and don\’t worry, Miss Catt will be fine and so will your pipes.I am heading to southern CA with the gang and I am riding shotgun. Have a safe trip.Hugs,Beth
Have a wonderful time and tell your son his diva sister says happy birthday! Emmitt says not to worry he will look in on Miss Catt. Stay warm over there and drive safetly. love and huggs,Danielle
Have a wonderful time with your sons. Be sure to take lots of pictures for us. Especially since you now have His Majesty !! Stay warm and take care. Hugs, Pat Miss Catt should be ok. She is a very independent !!
Oh I sure hope you have a good trip dear. Its nice to know you will be looking in on us while you are gone. I try to do that too. Its not as cold down here but I would wager that it is much windier. Darn, I don\’t like this wind. I know, I\’m such a whiner. Have fun!Hugs,Linda
Praying you\’ll have a safe, happy memory making trip to your son\’s for that belated birthday get together.
Safe Journey and have a Blast. Hope the weather holds for you. Looking forward to more photosLisa
