My dear friend TT sent me a wedding gift.
She communicated this wish to her family,
and Molly ,Shadow,Troo,Jake and their beans
sent it to me!!!

This is a picture of TT and the fresh catnip and
cat mint leaves.
TT's Mom grows these plants near the place where their
beloved Fatty is buried. I think Fatty watches over the plants.

Oh boy!!!!!!! Does this smell good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss TT, but I know she will be with me
and my beautiful Miss Peach on our wedding day.
I think a lot of our friends at the Rainbow Bridge will be with us!!

This art piece was handmade by TT's little girl bean Rhiannon.
It shows the catnip and cat mint growing in their yard near Fatty's grave.
There are even tasty treats too!!!! What a happy Mancat I am!
I am very honoured too, that I got this magnificent picture!!

Thank You Rhiannon!!!!!!!!!!

It took Mom a while, but she finally got this video up!!
You can see how I love the fresh leaves and they
are still in the plastic!!!!!!!!!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

Remembering Our Friend,TT Girl

Georgia : One year ago today our friend TT Girl
went to theRainbow Bridge. I think it is up there.

Tillie: TT Girl was a sweet kitty.
We were glad we got to know her.

She will be with me,in spirit, on my wedding day.
That will make me so happy!!

TT Girl

Happy in the arms of her Mom.

A beautiful ,caring friend.
We will send purrs to your family,TT.

Mancat Monday

As a Mancat,I feel it is important to get good rest.
I will show you one of my favourite sleeping positions.

This is a great way to stretch out and still have a good snooze!!

Yup, it is a great position.......
Zzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy Like Sunday

Oh!! Hi!!!!!

I was just trying to decide if I want to go onto that blue tarp.

Hmmmmmmm,maybe not.

I just like hanging on the porch.

I can see outside and hear the birds and squirrels!!

I just need to decide on the best spot to sit.
I think Georgia and Tillie are inside at the moment.
Georgia!!!!!!!

Zzzzzzz...huh??? What?????
Mickey,why are you yelling ??

Oh,hi...I was having a nice dream.

Sundays are great days to simply laze about and relax.

I am in a comfy spot, so I might just go back to sleep.

Sleeping is just what Tillie is doing!!

She is quite good at it as well!!!!!!!!!!

We hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

Friday Close Ups

Theodore Too

(he was not going to crash into Mom's ferry,

he was turning toward his dock)

Wordy Wednesday

It's Hump Day!! That means something to many beans!
To us,it's just another day in paradise,heehee
I am looking at Mom early in the morning.
She is bringing my breakfast.

Georgia is on he lookout for that BIG spider I think!!!!
If you see it ,Georgia,don't tell Mom!!!!

Tillie is just soaking up the sun!

In June,our friend Luna's person was in Japan for a short visit.
While there,he visited the Gotoku-ji Temple and saw many 'cats'
known as maneki nekos.
Mom saw a Japanese restaurant and this is the window
on the street.

This is a cute cat. It has spots, so it must be a boy.
I think he is a left pawed kitty,hehee

Mancat Looking After Mom

On this Mancat Monday I am looking after Mom.
Her nerves are shot!! Heehee
It has to do with those monster spiders again!!!!!

These pictures are not clear.
Mom should have used a flash,
and she did not want to get too close!!!!!
She came across a Wolf Spider moulting!!
That means it will get BIGGER!!!!!!!

After a while, the spider drew it's legs close to it's body.

Silly Mom blew on it and it moved super fast
scaring her to death!!!!!!!
It ran behind the deck post!!!!!!!

Now there is a BIGGER spider on the back deck!
She may never go out there again!! Hahahahahaha!!!!
Well, not without a big stick or a brave Mancat!!!!!

Look at that leg!!
It's coming for ya Mom!!
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

When the spider discarded it's shell,Mom used tweezers to get it.
It still looks scary to her !!!!!!!!!!!

This is why I am looking after Mom !

Lazy Day and Tall Ships

Hello everycat!!
I am waiting for my grass.
Mom is getting it for me so she can use my blog again.
Just get the tender blades Mom!!!!!!!!!

I think the police are pretty happy with their assignment,
looking after things during the Tall Ships weekend

These girls are looking for 'Captain Jack Sparrow'

Look at this tall ship!
What ship is it?

It is the USCC Eagle!

These beans have a great view on the Silva

This is the HMS Bounty

This is her figurehead.

The small ship in the foreground is the Viking Sea Rover
and the tall ship is the Fair Jeanne

The Europa

The Amistad and the HMCS Goose Bay.
a mixture of old and new.

This is the pride of Nova Scotia, the Bluenose!!
It is on the back of our dimes.

Halifax Harbourwalk

Today, Mom is going to show you a bit of the
Halifax Harbourwalk. It skirts the harbour and there is lots to see.
It got a fix up too,in preparation of the Tall Ships coming.
Mom got me some grass, so I must go eat it now.

This is a map showing the boardwalk.
Mom started at the Ferry Terminal(arrow)
and this tour ends at the Seaport(arrow)
where cruise ships dock.

A view near the Ferry Terminal.

A new dock, ready for ships to tie up while in port.

Hmmmmmmmm, human litter boxes!
They must be expecting a lot of beans.

Lots of entertainment along the way.

Another newly constructed part of the Harbourwalk.

They are expecting little sticky people too!!

Lots of homes and places to eat.
See, beans like to eat as much as we do!

Gee!! I am glad I am not near that water!

There are nice places to sit and relax.

More litter boxes!!!
Look at that building they are taking down.

Mom said they used to show movies on one of the walls.
It was painted white.

Look!! Tall Ships !!!!!
The ship closest to the wharf is the "Belle- Poule" and
next to is it is it's sister the "Étoile"
They are from France.

This is the end of this tour.
Sometime,we will show the Seaport,
where the cruise ships dock.

Sorta Wordy Wednesday

SO!!! Today is Mom's day off and what does she do??
She decided to play tourist. That's OK though.
She played with us before she left.
Tomorrow I will show you some of what Mom saw.

Here is a hint.

This is the other side of the sign.

Tomorrow will be busy in the city.
That's because the Tall Ships will be coming to town!

We also salute the Canadian Navy,which turns 100 next year!

Mancat Monday

Well!!!! I am a tad miffed with Mom!
She was so busy this weekend,she did not post about my birthday.
She did not post about Georgia & Tillie's Gotcha Day either!!
Do not worry, we will make sure she spoils us ALL week ,heeheehee
WE hope to catch up with all our visitors too!

Here is one of the things that kept Mom busy.
Our community was celebrating Fiesta Days!!
They had a parade and here are a few pictures.
Waiting for the start.

Nice horses!!!!!

The Red Hat Ladies.

Cool fire truck!!!!

Mancat Monday

Hello friends. Another Monday rolls around.
Everything is looking good and secure.

I can relax a bit and just enjoy the day.
I hope you all have a relaxing Monday too ;)

Sunday in the Rain & Fog

Georgia: We have had a lot of rain and fog lately.
It makes me a bit sleepy.

Just a nice stretch before my nap!

Tillie: I'm on the porch and I do not see the sun either.
Where is it Mom?

Mickey: I'm looking out the window and I see wet trees.

Hmmmmmm, my red blankie looks mighty cozy.
I just might have a nap too!

It was super foggy on Friday!
These pictures are what Mom saw coming home
using the ferry across Halifax harbour.
Another ferry coming out of the fog.

Visibility improves when things are close to you.

The shoreline from a distance.

The shoreline when we get closer.
It was a very "pea soup" fog!
