Welcome to Simply Stated!

Thank you so much for stopping by. This blog is something I've set up just for fun -- yours and mine! There are any number of things that may be discussed here from everyday living in the California desert to digital scrapbooking to my favorite books to cardmaking to the art of letter writing to caring for feral cats to movies I like. After you read my bio, you should have a good sense of other topics you may find here. I welcome your comments and hope you return again and again!

Happy Birthday, Little Lucky-13!

Here she is, the Birthday Girl.

June 8, 2011 marked one year since we found a tiny little kitten under our deck steps. We call the 8th her birthday because as close as we can figure she was newly born hours before we heard her incessant crying and eventually brought her indoors to baby, nurture, and love.

Now, the pocket on the tee-shirt I'm wearing is clearly too small for Lucky to squeeze into like she did around June 10th, last year. You can see she is a small cat, but she continues to gain and is solid muscle.

It's been an adventure, and Lucky still believes she rules the roost. She's always ready for a game of chase with any of the other cats whether they're in the mood or not.

Her most endearing quality at this time is the way she jumps up on the bed as soon as Floyd turns in for the night and begins padding with both her front and back paws. She purrs loudly while she rhythmically kneads the blanket. We call it Paddy Paws or Paddy Purrs. She moves around as she pads and puts her face near Floyd's showing that all is right with Lucky's world.

Happy Birthday, Little Girl!

Below are more shots of her taken this month.











Thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

    Heh-heh! You remembered the other name we said we could have called her! As I write, she's lounging on her little, pink, princess pillow in the sunlight by the back door. Love that little kitty-cat!!

    Happy birthday Lucky! She definitely doesn't fit in your pocket now :)

    @MamaEve: Nope, she sure doesn't. I wonder if she could fit in one of Captain Kangaroo's big, ol' pockets (from my childhood TV viewing days)?

    Happy Birthday, Lucky 13 (although Harriet Potter does fit!) Can't believe it's only been a year! What an adventure for all of you!

    Test.

    On too many occasions several of you have let me know of difficulty posting comments at SimplyStated. I just can't have that! Reading everyone's thoughts on my posts is just as much fun as writing mine!

    So, I'm trying to figure out if this will let me post a comment.

    Here goes...
