Toys and Friends...



Well, it's Saturday!! Hubby and I have been up since 5am...Gads. Oh well, I got up and put the coffee on, made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and bacon...loaded the dishwasher and went to get dressed. After lingering over several cups of coffee, we decided it was time to hit the road. We had serious shopping to get done and wanted to get In and Out of the stores, quickly! We can Not stand throngs of people...We hit the HEB food store, Walmart and Books A Million, then headed home...By 10am, we were Through! Nice!
When we got in the house, Hubby looked out the kitchen window and said our "visitor" was back...Sure enough, Buster The Cat was sleeping in one of our patio chairs! Well, this was Surely a Kodak moment!LOL...Poor kitty...it's a stray but likes to visit. I keep a bowl of water on the patio and occasionally just a "little" food for him...or her. My KiKi passed over several years ago (black cat) and I never wanted another...And I Still don't, BUT...Hahaa....
I also wanted an IPod Touch charger with speakers. Cool item. Did you know...if you have an IPod Touch, you can turn it into a Phone?? Yes! You have to get a service I suppose, through the internet...and somehow, magically...Hahaa...you can use it as a phone! I was listening to the Kim Komando computer program while typing this post and that's what She said! I'll have to research it.
Well, guess I'll get busy making me a cuppa Coffee!!LOL...WHAT??!!!...I need the stuff to keep up with all the new techie stuff...You think "they'll" tax THAT TOOOOO???....GEEZ! Heard about Tom Dashle??? Over $100,000.00 in UnPaid back TAXES!!! What a group of people to feel Proud about....goodgrief.
Happy day or night everyone!!

Your kitty looks so at home on your chocolate colored blog. Heck, I feel at home on your chocolate colored blog!

Janice said...

Such a cute little kitty. I've said I don't want anymore pets before and now we have more than ever! They just seem to show up and adopt us lol!
We're making plans to go do all of our shopping tomorrow. I want some new techie stuff as well and sure hope they won't tax it too much!

Donna said...

How yummy your blog looks now! I didn't know that about the itouch. I barely know how to do the basic things with mine, LOL!

I got your wonderful surprise package in the mail yesterday and I zipped you off big THANK YOU e-mail! You silly girl, how sweet of you to surprise me! And all kinds of my favorite goodies! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} You sure lifted my spirits!

Daniela said...

So cool, we both had the exact same morning. Except I slept until 6..haha. And I also bought a new toy.

Ok, as far as the kitty goes...SHE is a cutie. Definitely a girl. All calico cats are girls. I have only seen 2 male calico's in my career and they both died while they were kittens. So congratulations mama, it's a girl..haha

Brenda said...

What a pretty Calico kitty! He/she looks right at home snoozing on your patio too.

You are I could shop together, I don't like crowds, like finding what I went after and getting my butt gone from there. The only place I love to linger is in the book stores.

Lucy said...

That cat is very cute. It looks very much at home and seems to like your place. I have not yet become very techy and have not bought an IPod. Looks good though and please let us know if that is the case, that you can use it as a phone. You had a very productive morning shopping whilst I had a sleep in this morning.
Love and hugs XXXXOOOO

Love the kitty photo's, very cute :)

Nita Jo said...

Love the kitty! Reminds me of one I had as a girl. He was the same bright coloring, except for his tail which was stripy and kinked like a siamese I knew of.

Anyway, I think Buster has adopted you. Sometimes they come to where they are needed...

Hugs to you today!

JunieRose2005 said...

Calico cats are sooo pretty! I'd love to have her! (I didn't know they were always girls-but one of your posters says so!) I had one Calico in the past but she came as a stray....and just disappeared one day! lol-Guess she remembered where her former home was after awhile- but seems like we had her for a good few weeks! I named her Cali-cat!

My granddaughter has one now!

Junie

Donna said...

Junie- She is a pretty cat! And I believe Daniela is right about being female...I looked but didn't see any "boys" hanging around...Hahaaa...Happy day sweetie!!hughugs

Anji said...

Your little visitor looks like our Daisy. She was a lovely cat but very shy.

Sally said...

I don't even know HOW to answer my cell phone. Sheesh!!!

Jeanette said...

I guess the only good thing about getting up at 5:00 in the morning is getting so much done before 10:00! Of course, then your ready to crash at 9:00 in the evening!

Donna said...

Anji- I love the coloring of her! Hope your having a wonderful weekend sweetie!hughugs


Sally-Hahaaaa...There's SO darn much to learn...I just keep plodding along! Happy night sweetie! Glad you're doing the photo challenge!!!hughugs

Could not visit before due to technical problems

Unknown said...

Hi Donna,

I need to know about the Ipod touch speaker thingy. You know I am all about electronics. LOL I love my IPOD touch, I have it loaded up with Micky Mouse Clubhouse for Maddie and I bring it when we take her out to eat and if she starts to get restless I just pull it out, works like a charm. LOL I also need to know about using it as a phone.
Love that cute kitty, she has such pretty colors. Have a great week. I am so chatty tonite, I left Jeanne a novel on her comments also. LOL

Donna said...

I can't believe you're up at 5am on a Saturday! I agree, though, if you have to shop, do it when they're aren't many people around.

Love the kitty. Looks just like one we used to have when we were first married.

Hugs,
Donna

Jeanne said...

OMG your kitty reminds me of our little Noelle. Miss her so. Love what you're doing with the place Donna!
