Mornin' Cuzzies, It was some night last night....hellzapoppin, noisey, wonderful thunderstorm came barreling thru here in the middle of the night bringing lots of good rain and causing three kitties to pile up on me, safe, so they could watch all the goings on out the sliding glass door as we are perched up here in the trees on the 2nd floor. Lotsa lightening, noise, rain.....just really big ~ I don't know what Mr. Kat's trouble was.....the oldest of the bunch. He just ooched right up to my face putting his paws on my shoulders so that his nose was abt. an inch from mah nose. Kat obviously had issues......Ah told him to get over it! o : And, I see by the morning paper that the Good Fairy hasn't waved her wand and cleared the Gulf of Mexico. So, we enjoyed what may be the last of our fried shrimp dinners last night which we love. Ah mostly subsist on sea food. Mah Daddy taught me abt. shrimp when I was a little bitty thing.....when I was not much higher than a normal coffee table, I could trot over to him and he'd give me a shrimp and a sip of beer.....said that would make me grow up to be a big, strong, healthy gal.....well, it sho did that....I'm 5' 10". I actually grew an inch when I was 17 yrs. old and another when I was 22....kinda unusual for a girl. o : Mah green thumb and I are off to mess w/ the pot plants whom Ole Buckley sez are tired of being picked at.... o : What does he know! Y'all have a good one! ( : Buckette
