Kimba's Book Report: All Things Cat, of Course!

 

 

Thursday

Dear Diary,

Today I finally got a home!  It was Nana Kate's home!  I purred like crazy.  I saw that there was this cupcake that Mia gave to Nonna Kate.  It looked like me, long hair, and very Royal.   Nonna Kate said that it would feel like her Birthday.  When she said that, I purred even louder.  That was Awesome.  And I love this new home of mine. 

Love,

Duchess

Monday

Dear Diary,

Today I was given away by my owner, Abbey because she could not take care of me, since she was moving.  Abbey gave me to Mia Battelli, who loves to foster cats.  I was only going to be there pet until I found the right home.  I felt sad without my home and my Abbey.  But Mia just couldn't get the hang of doing my Royal things properly, like when she got my hairbrush stuck in a knot under my Tummy.  I still like Mia, anyways, because she doesn't talk and yell loud. 

Love,

Duchess

Tuesday

Dear Diary,

This morning I saw some very fresh bacon.  I wanted it, but all I got was cat food.  I didn't want cat food.  The bacon smelled so good.  So I jumped up on the table, but Mia's Mom said, "Scat, your own food is over there!"  She pointed to the cat food.  They were not sharing the yummy bacon, so I walked away.  I didn't really think it was my style to eat cat food.  I wanted something rich tasting, not animal food.  I wanted to taste real meat, and not just something dry made by humans.  I felt mad at Mia's Mom, and was jealous of Mia's family.  I hope tomorrow they will feed me better.

Love,

Duchess

Wednesday

Dear Diary,

Today it was Mia's Birthday Party.  She said that I had to go to Nana Kate's room in the apartment.   I loved it there, I got good grooming, good scratching, and Nana Kate knew everything about doing things that I liked.  I just stayed on that sofa on her lap until Mia got back.  It was so comfortable, like a human back rub.  It was as if I was in Heaven.  It was good that she knew without even thinking, she just took a lucky guess, and what she did was making me feel great!  Once in a while I just heard one really loud, excited scream from the back of the apartment.  I had my ears up, but then I relaxed again.  Today was exhilarating!

Love,

Duchess

Dear Diary,

 

My cats are very nice, and I love to care from them.  We will have very many adventures together.  And I would like to say that they have been a very good help to me. 

 

Love,

Duchess.

Thankful Thursday: "Theology of a 9 Year Old Boy"

 

 

 

Sitting at a Red light today after school, when suddenly "B" explains the fall of man---    "You know, Mommy, This is half of the lie: 'Your eyes will be opened... and you will be like God...'    Mommy...  Your eyes will  be opened...   but not like God."   Wow.  The car behind me gave a gentle beep as I sat staring at him in the rear view mirror, losing all sense of time and space for a split second, wondering what other deep theological truths are locked up in that little head of his, waiting for just the right moment to pop out!  Thanks be to GOD! 

Love this Book!

Just found the sweetest, most engaging book

Valentine's Eve: Creating Gifts

 

There has been a lot of tracing, cutting, stitching, glueing, glittering
and the like going on around here.

Nothing makes me happier than to hear a little voice
asking me what can we make for Daddy.

Kimba embroidered pillows and gave them to his cousins.

 For a couple of weeks the floor was sporting little emboidery threads of all colors.  The joy of having a creative son...

And there has been a plethora of activity in other crafting areas, too!   

These are the Valentine's Day Cards,  ready to go. 








Each year my Tasha Tudor book comes out... I was busy making my own sweet valentines, and Kimba  jumped on the bandwagon to get his own done, too.

Valentine's Day at school

Kimba's valentines are for all our friends in the local nursing home, whom we regularly visit. You would have thought we gave these darling people a chest of gold, they are so thrilled! 

We also buy them a pink carnation with a bit of baby's breath,  and give it with the handmade card!   Memories are made of this!

Kimba loves blessing all his friends with his handmades.

Last week I had the wonderful priviledge of becoming friends with one of the LORD's dearest children on Earth.

We read some of my favorite books together, did Skippy Jon Jones Puzzles, and

Made many marvelous sculptures with the Play Doh Factory

I Praise God for this" Fearfully and Wonderfully Made" Friend!
May we have many more times together.
I love you, "R" and "H"
