  1. Memories of Eric and Flynn – I started this blog to show my holiday photos but haven't added to it for so long, but you can see my other holiday photos at https://allatseawithme.blogspot.com My main blog is my cat blog at https://twodevoncats.blogspot.com

    Cute kitties!
    After years of working hard, when we retire we have earned the right to take it easy.

      I do take it way easier now that I’m retired. I still get things done, but I don’t go for hours getting it done. I’m happy about that. 🙂

  2. Service Cats U.S. – I Audra, am the human behind Service Cats U.S. aka DezizWorld. I am disabled and use cats as service animals instead of dogs. They are just as capable and can perform duties other animals cannot. We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.

    I liked your fill-ins lol @ no.2 heheh!

    Have a memorialtastic weekend and FFS ➡

      Sandee says:

      Well it’s the way hubby and I feel. It’s all good. We’re home and we don’t have to be around all that mess. You have a great weekend, Steve. 🙂

  4. Ann Thompson says:

    Aww, Those cats are so sweet.
    I used to plant the garden on Memorial day but even though I would love to have one I don’t want to do all the work of taking care of it.
    Every holiday it seems it’s an excuse for far too many people to get stupid drunk. I imagine there are plenty of them out there on their boats for the weekend too.

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

      I’m not into gardening or yard work at all. Not my cup of tea. I hear you about the boozing and holidays. Good grief. 🙂

  5. 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.

    Meowser, that mama kitty looks as exhausted as I feel trying to keep up with chicks…. purrhaps there isn’t that much difference in types of babies.
    Ms. Sandee, thank you for hosting this blog hop….. Now that you mention dunks and Ms. Ellen mentioned smoke, purrhaps I’d purrfer to stay home, too.

      Sandee says:

      I hear you. I remember being a young mother and never getting enough sleep. It would kill me now. I don’t want to be around either one either. 🙂

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

      It’s as easy to do as choosing not to be happy. It’s more fun too. 🙂

    Magical Mystical Mimi says:

    Omgosh. I am so with you on your fill-ins. I might do some local morning/afternoon activities this weekend but I’ll be home long before the crazies get out n’ about. – I hope you have a relaxing, enjoyable weekend Sandee. <3

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

    We usually stay home on all the holidays like Memorial Day to avoid the drunk drivers and other crazy stuff too. Enjoy the long weekend.

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

      Yep, seems to happen just about everywhere. I hate it at the marina or on the water on a holiday. 🙂

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

      We’re happy about it for sure. We love being home together. Okay, we love being together. 🙂

    messymimi's meanderings says:

    Family contentment at its finest.

    It’s sad that a day set aside to remember those who gave their lives for freedom has turned into a drunken carousal.

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

      I hear you about that. I think many don’t even know what this holidays is about. Sad. 🙂

    Such a sweet photo, poor mama cat is tired. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I like your catchphrase. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! XO

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

      I love your fill-ins. Thanks for co-hosting. I miss doing them when I’m on a cruise. Happy Memorial Day weekend to you and yours. 🙂

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

      We so enjoy being at home during these holidays. Just crazy out on the water. You have a great weekend too. 🙂

  10. Kathe W. says:

    I truly do not understand why some think that getting drunk is the way to celebrate any holiday.
    Have a lovely Memorial Day with your sweetie- hugs and more hugs!

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

      I don’t get it either. It’s not that fun to be drunk in the middle of the day. What’s the point? Hugs back. 🙂

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

      You are most welcome, Daliana. Thank you for joining in on the fun. 🙂

  11. Jan says:

    Your trio of kitties has made my day.

    That is exactly how I will spend the weekend although a parade goes by my house so I will go outside to watch it.

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

      I’m happy about that, Jan. I’d watch the parade. Those are always fun. Happy weekend. 🙂

  12. Gilly says:

    Cats make me sneeze in real life – but they are oh so cute in pictures! In the UK, our Memorial Day is on November 11th but it isn’t a public holiday and people don’t get drunk (any more than any other day I guess!🤣) Have a great weekend staying away from the drunks! So envious you’ve retired – it’s another 2 years for us😏 But I’m being happy anyway!

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

      They seem to party on the water and many come out just for the holidays. They know nothing about boating and just want to party. Dangerous bunch. Good for you on your upcoming retirement. Enjoy every minute. 🙂

  13. Cecilia Upchurch says:

    Adorable sweet kitties have me yawning for a nappy
    I agree with # 4, as my granny used to say, ‘no hurry I don’t have any medicine to take’!
    Hot hot and hotter here we’ll be staying inside and away from crowds too
    Hugs Cecilia

    Such cute kittens. Mom agrees totally with #4. That’s the best thing about being retired. You only need to do the hard work that you choose, like her 3 1/2 hours in the yard the other day. We’ll be having a quiet holiday, and it sounds as if you will as well. Enjoy. Thanks for linking us up.

    What an adorable feline family photo! And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! “Be happy” is such a perfect catchphrase. If more people would see the glass as half full, the world would be filled with so much more happiness. Have a happy and safe Memorial Day! I’ll also be staying home for the holiday, in large part for the same reason as you.

  22. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.

    Here are this weeks questions:
    1. I do nothing special on Memorial Day.
    2. I try to avoid drama in my life
    3. If I had a catchphrase, it would be Laugh daily, laugh hard and laugh out loud.
    4. NOTHING motivates me to work hard.

    Funny how retirement changes a person isn’t it..haha

Jeanna – Madison, WI – I'm a freelance feature writer, ex caterer and relay operator interested in helping seniors like myself and their family and caregivers with local and national resources while providing a safe place to share experiences or just chat. Taking care of my parents has taught me a lot about caregiving, assisted living facilities and health care for seniors. I'm going to keep adding resource information with the goal of providing information in an entertaining and informative way.
    Jeanna says:

    I love grilled meat on Memorial Day but lately I try to avoid delicious red meat, if I had a catchphrase it would be, “Sorry, I’d love to but I’m on a Diet.” My frenemy the scale, motivates me to work hard. I say this having just finished a mini ice cream sandwich.
    Hope you’re having a great, breezy but not too breezy, fun and food and water (but not too much water) filled Memorial Day Weekend, Sandee.

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