when fatima rings the dinner bell

with my honey at the head of the table
I serve the sunday dinner
for 3 or 15 depending on how many arrive that day
macaroni, most served
with sauce stirred all morning
sprinkled with parmesan
with nothing in it for me, and her,
with just meatballs for those 3
and with sausage and pepperoni for the guys over there.
and just scrambled hamburg for the littler two.
and in this circle of peace and eating
comes in the door
the love of my grandmother
who wants my world to be...
alright, no matter what hurt arises.
because we are together
in a good family.

in honor of my grama's dishes that I inherited
recently; that she always used to serve us
sunday dinner on. now :) they are mine!

Print Shopping for your Instagram faves!

For Mother's Day this year, my kids got my new up-to-date photos of them for my photo bulletin board! It was tricky though, because the pix I wanted were from our Instagram. They were coming out all stretchy and distorted when I tried to get them from Shutterfly :( But we figured out how to do it!

After selecting the photos we want to order, Shutterfly gives you a list of the pix - for you to select size and quantity; and you see a little thumbnail of how each pic will look. For your Instagram ones (which are square) click Preview under it. From the preview that pops up, choose cropping. At the bottom of the cropping window, it says Custom Tool - select that! Pick Square and you should be all set (make sure the whole pic is inside the square print area). They turned out great!! It will put them on the regular 4x6 print, but with a white border around it. Not blurry; not stretched :)

Good luck!

Never fear, the scratcher's here!

Hi. Just wanted to let all you SmartyKat CatChaise Scratcher chair users like us, that it's not going to be for sale at Walmart online anymore. So I asked SmartyKat on their facebook page how to find it now, and they provided me with another good, online store to get it from. Amazon has some right now! Just buy it from the actual Amazon.com supplier on there though (or an Amazon seller you already trust), we'd suggest, because other random sellers might have let it get damp or dirty (since it is a cardboard scratcher and isn't being made in bulk now anymore). We're placing our first order with them now. Let's keep the Scratcher Chair available online, keep buying them people lol (Apache is allergic to most scratchers since they're cardboard, poor angel, but this chair has NEVER made him have an allergic reaction so we NEED this one to stay for sale, help us keep the supply and demand river flowing lol). Let's remember they're Eco and come with the best organic catnip on the planet. Makes the cats go crazy for it! xo! Love Harley and Mom :)

Loved by cool cats like Apache (the white one) and my girl Bri (the calico) xo!!

Apache Rocks his Rudolph Ugly Christmas Sweater at Celia's Birthday Fiesta!

Ahhh, the December Birthday Party. Opportunity to melt the icy hearts of anybody nearby lol. Apache picked out an Ugly-Sweater to wear this year, and he worked that thing! It was the Grinch-Eraser! it was hand-knit mistletoe. non-perishable gingerbread man cookies! Look! Love! and get ready to say Awww! :)

Wait! there's more! Harley the Kid spent the party being admired and adored for his Tree-Decorating Savvy - he decorated two trees this year!!

And Brianna Marie light up the room in her cool cuddly and christmassy Carly Rae Jepsen autographed Call Me Maybe hoodie! Remember how great Carly Rae was last year Rockin' Times Square on New Year's Eve? (We do!) Well Bri put on a great big show too, as she patrolled the holiday decorations, and checked each and every present! Checked it once, and checked it twice!

And here's me, Mommy. I hopped into a group photo with Celia the birthday girl, and Tree Elf Jessie!

Speaking of trees... If yours has electric lights on it, or breakable decorations, keep a close eye on your furry kids, any little human kids, too! Trees pose so many dangers: tinsel, garland, ornament hooks, electricity, pointy and breakable things! Supervise!! We keep a tree with no lights, no garland or tinsel, and all "safe" ornaments -- that is the play tree!! It works. Bless you and your holiday xo! Love Sandy

 


Check out the decorations :) The G6 Group's Family Pet Fashion Show

New (Snow)Shoes

we threw on our ideological snowshoes today! me bri and apache suited up in actual winter gear to let snowflakes hit our faces on the balcony (it makes me sing and laugh!!) and harley the kid went all virtual freeze-out and got way up close to a snow globemade blizzard that (if I may say so) made him feel 100% part of this unexpected early storm  xo!

Agent Coulson

Agent Coulson is #CoulsonIsAlive xo! We love you Clark Gregg. But we are wondering what this weird thing is that Agent Hill is talking about. Mom said, maybe they transferred his consciousness into a clone or android body! I said, what would that be like. We talked about it and it turns out that either his spirit would have left his body and gone astral or maybe the spirit itself gets transferred. What do you think? I think either could happen, it depends on how fast they disconnected it from his body. Now  Natascha sees him dead, we think, it could be Black Widow lol then Nick Fury sees him dead and gets all sad. So the "I was in the light for like 40 seconds only" is definitely not real. So that means that his body was dead until they revived it, or that it died and they had some technique to capture the consciousness and put it into a new android or some other sort of soul-catching device, right? So would his ghost be seeing him also in another form? That would be so sad and confusing for his astral self. Anyway. How'd he die? Maria Hill better tell us soon lol!

Btw, I was in a Jedi Starfighter this weekend. Here's my pic from the adventure we took ~

It's young Ben's starfighter. It was handed to Mom and Reg by the spirit world. Seriously. Anyway, that's my blog for today. Love, Harley the Kid xo! <3!
