    Cute kitty taking time to stop and smell the flowers.
    I can’t wait for spring either. I dislike the dark evenings and the cold wet days.
    I have never driven in the US, but the turn right on a red light always worried me as a pedestrian. I would cross the road with my head on a swivel!

    Good thing I’m not superstitious otherwise I might be worried that a black cat just crossed my path on Friday the 13th….lol
    I’m right there with you on counting down the days till spring..

      I had one of those too and she was the best kitty I ever had. Happy weekend. 🙂

  4. foguth – Though Jeanne began her career technical writing, her love of romantic-suspense, whether it be present, future or in an unknown galaxy inspired her to write the novels she wanted to find in bookstores. Since marrying, Jeanne and her husband have lived from the arctic to the tropics, as well as from yacht to off-grid mountain home. She loves using vivid colors and flowing shapes in her oil paintings as well as creating edible landscapes. At present, she is finishing writing the Chatterre Trilogy and working on a new episode for The Sea Purrtector Files. You can always find out what she is working on and/or contact her at: www.jeannefoguth.com.
    foguth says:

    Meowser Ms. Sandee thank you for hosting this blog hop. In a way, we answers #1 the same way, but I simply said I liked being me. If you don’t like paying taxes, you’ll probably be happy with Purrseident Trumps’ second term… I hear that it is purry likely the FED and IRS will be shut down and there will simply be a federal sales tax on new products. Mom has been celebrating the thought of no more 1040s.

      I like being me too. I get it. I’m still waiting for all the counts and lawsuits to be settled.

    What a precious little House Panther kitty.
    Driving in CA:
    Many years ago probably early 1980’s my parents took my daughter to San Francisco. They rented a car so that could see all the beauty at their own pace. The rental broke down on PCH…of course this was before cell phones. So there they sat..until a wonderful CHiP arrived. So very kind and helpful. He called a tow which took a while and let them sit in his car to stay cool. My parents wrote a glowing letter to his commander, my daughter was so impressed and lo and behold they rec’d a thank from the patrolman sending such a nice letter. Evidently it was rare for folks to do that.
    I expect the water ways are much easier to navigate.
    Hugs Cecilia

      What a wonderful cop that helped you. There are many that are good like that. Nice that your parents wrote that letter. So nice. Hugs. 🙂

    messymimi's meanderings says:

    Some of my cats get a little too interested in flowers, just like this guy. Makes it hard to have a flower vase around, but they are cute anyway.

    Great answers, i hope you and Mr. Zane have a fabulous and blessed and beautiful weekend.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Yes, they do sometimes make a mess of things. You and Mr. Sweetie have a fabulous and blessed and beautiful weekend too. 🙂

  7. Cathy Kennedy says:

    Sandee,

    I think driving anywhere these days feels like you’re in the Indy 500. People have no sense. They think they know how to handle a fast moving metal of death when they do not. They zip in and out of traffic while talking on the phone (probably texting, too), drinking coffee, or handing little Susie her pacifier in the backseat leaving no space between them and the car in front. It’s like they aren’t happy unless they can latch on to someone’s tailgate. eye rolls The madness is only going to get worse. I shutter to think just how bad it will be in the years to come! Taxes take away a lot of our money. It’s insane! I won’t go all political on you but you know as well as I do why our taxes are so high. sigh Well…let me high tail it off here. I have things to do and not enough hours in the day to get them down. Have a funtastic week, darlin’!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Yes to all those driving styles. It’s amazing the things you see out on the road. 🙂

    That kitten must be your prompt that spring will come again and you can stop and smell the roses.

    Love your answers and I couldn’t agree more with No.1 from a male perspective, so I will have to use a different thought.
    1. I like being behind a camera capturing family memories. I just don’t get to be in many of the images.
    2. I don’t want to wear a mask, but I have to. It is the right thing to do for everyone.
    3. I’m counting down the days until my 11th annual Christmas Music Marathon.
    4. Online shopping is a lot like shopping from the old Sears Christmas catalog..

      I’m looking forward to your Christmas Music Marathon. Love the shopping one. You’re right about that. 🙂

    Suh a cute kitty. Thanks for hosting Feline Friday and thank you for joining in the fill-ins, great answers. Yes, taxes are a necessity. I an only drive on town roads, no highways for me- I would never drive in California. Have a nice weekend. XO

    I just want to scoop up that kitten! And pansies are one of my favorite flowers. 🙂 Some of our little city’s streets are treated like raceways. I’m clueless as to why police aren’t passing out tickets. The station is half a block away from one of the worst areas. Oh, well. Hugs, my dear.

      I thought a black kitty for Friday the 13th was the right thing to do. I do think Friday the 13th and black cats are most lucky. 🙂

    We used to have a black kitty named Smudge because when she was little, she was about as big as a smudge on the wall! Love your Friday fill-ins. I don’t think I’d trade where I live to drive in California traffic! Hope your weekend is wonderful. xoxo

A lot of the younger set though has migrated to FaceBook and Twitter which are pretty much social. I like my real Blogger Friends and would like to keep them, hoping they'd like what I write and how nicely I answer their comments.
    Jim says:

    This little guy will soon find out how well he is liked. I’ve never had a black cat but always had wanted one. I like your answers today, I might argue that Texas driving is every bit as bad as California.
    🙂 🙂
    Here are my answered this weeks questions:
    1. I like being retired since 2001.
    2. I don’t want to tell little lies now and then even to keep peace, but I have to.
    3. I’m counting down the days until summer will come again as maybe next one we can travel..
    4. I think cruising is a lot like assisted living except it has added placement of a chocolate candy piece on our pillows every night when they turn our covers down.

  25. Rosey says:

    My oldest two boys separately went to California (with their other halves) before Covid. They both loved it, but did mention the crazy traffic. I knew it must be bad if they were saying it because the traffic in Palm Beach (where they both have homes) is atrocious too. I’d love to visit someday too. I’ve never been! I like your answers, and here’s mine (also, glad you can get on the blog!). Have a wonderful day/weekend!

    I like being a mom!
    I don’t want to deal with Covid-19 in the news all of the time (or in life!), but I have to.
    I’m counting down the days until we are once again Covid-free.
    Florida is a lot like paradise, and I love it here!.
