Cheesy Fun

Today marks the first day of the 30 minus 2 days of writing hosted by Nicky and Mike of We Work For Cheese.  For more cheesy goodness, please read all the other talented participants.  Now let's get started! 

I had no cheesy pictures, nor cheesy tales to tell
And long upon this I did dwell.
So for you lovely folks
I leave this bunch of cheesy jokes.

Mexican, Englishman, American
A Mexican, Englishman, and an American are in a bar having drinks.
When a gorgeous woman comes up to them and says:

Whoever can use the words ‘liver’ and ‘cheese’ in a creative sentence can date me for tonight.

The Englishman says:  I love liver and cheese!

The woman says:  That’s not good enough!

The American says:  I hate liver and cheese!

The woman says:  That’s not creative!

The Mexican says:  Liver alone, cheese mine!

Up a Tree

This picture makes me happy!

Rosie will be 16 years old in June.  As you know, he has been struggling with diabetes for several years now, and he is currently on insulin about twice a day depending on his blood sugar levels when we test him.  In addition, he suffers from allergies, chronic sinus issues and ear and skin conditions which cause him to cough, sneeze and scratch.  He goes to the vet regularly for shots to control his symptoms.  These shots in turn raise his blood sugar.  

In spite of all this, Rosie is still a happy cat, or as we like to say "an awesome cat".  He still loves life.  However, he has good days, and not so good days. 

So why does this picture make me happy?  This was one of his very best days lately.  He loves Sophie and he was chasing her around the house.  But amid chase, Sophie went up her tree.  Uncharacteristically, Rosie followed - at least to the first perch.  He's feeling good, and that makes me happy!

On top of the world.

Sophie is the only one who uses the cat tree.  It is her escape and a good place to oversee the outside, or just catch a few uninterrupted zzz's.  Occasionally, Rosie will lay on the base and soak up a few rays.

It's nappy time!

Quote of the Week

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.  - Michael Pritchard

 

If laughter keeps you young, then we are in good shape.  Sophie is always good for a laugh.  This is the bag I use for food when we're going on vacation.  I should have known this wasn't a good idea.  Bags, boxes, they're all fair game where Sophie is concerned. 

Pelican Party

As you know, we love to go to Florida.  That is where I recharge my internal batteries, and let life take a slower pace for a while.  Every so often we like to visit the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary.  This is a wonderful place where all sorts of injured birds are rehabilitated and released.    For some release is not possible, and they live out their days here in relative peace.  I say relative, because anywhere you have a bunch of birds, it is seldom quiet.

The Sanctuary is located in Indian Shores, about 15 minutes from where we stay in Madeira Beach.  It is between Gulf Blvd. and the Gulf of Mexico.  This sign welcomes beach goers and beckons them to visit the birds and the gift shop.  Visiting is free, but donations are greatly appreciated.

 This handsome fellow (No, I'm not sure of his/her gender) looks like he is standing guard.

A large number of the birds you will find here are pelicans of all ages and varieties.  There are several large areas dedicated to them, each with their own swimming pool.  Below you will see what a grand time they have splashing around.

For more information, visit their website - Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary.

You'll never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking what sort of impression you make. - C. S. Lewis

Too much effort toward making a good impression can work against you. People may notice and wonder why you feel the need to try so hard. Stop worrying about how people perceive you. Being yourself and letting your own light shine through makes the best impression of all.
