#AGoodPlace

Chuckling in complete agreement. Looks awful doesn’t it? I swear you can go through the car wash and by the time you get home it’s in the same condition. April will be here before you know it. Then Christmas. That’s how fast time seems to go for me. Lol

Ooo. I love a good Chinese buffet. Sounds 😋 I’ll be watching the race then prepping my stuff for chicken and broccoli tomorrow. Plus a few other odds and ends that need done. Understand about the wind. We’re under an advisory until Monday. Ugh. Just saps a person.

Happy #FridayThe13th!🐾🍀🐾

He looks so disappointed 😔

What do you mean there are no more treats? Just for now or forever? #Caturday

Book Cover: The Correspondent, written by Virginia Evans. This debut novel is a masterpiece. Through all the letters Sybil Van Antwerp writes, we see the layers of her life and heart unfold. I did not want this book to end. But end it did ~ as does life. She lived a full one and her last years were especially rich in all the most important things. This is a must read.

Book Cover Insert: The Correspondent, written by Virginia Evans. “Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used lettersto make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters— to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter. Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has—a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcée, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness. Filled with knowledge that comes only from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime. Sybil Van Antwerp's life of letters might be "a very small thing," but in Virginia Evans's gifted hands we see that "small things" can be subtly masterful and unforgettable.”

📚 Just Finished: The Correspondent 📩📩📩📩📩
What a lovely, lovely book. And what a woman Sybil Van Antwerp is, revealed through her letter writing. A full, messy, complicated and rich life, especially in her golden years, told on letter stationery. The hype about this book is well deserved.

That was a nice treat! I, too, had a day of nothing. Besides usual chore stuff but was a total bum the rest of the day. Very rejuvenating. Hope you enjoyed yours 😊

Ellie is dreaming of a home all her own, at least one if not a handful of humans to give her daily snuggles, and buckets of treats all to herself!
Why this amazing girl hasn't been adopted yet, the perfect person hasn't seen her yet!
Please help Ellie get seen and share her!

So much love to give! 🐾❤️

The cats at Ten Lives cannot wait to find their furever homes!

Nothing better than a BLT and fries. Looks yummy. Now I’m waiting for fresh tomato season.

Nothing more Spring than this! I love the one out my window also. Love the tulips also.

My lil red bud that was planted in winter 2024 is blooming beautifully into #Spring

I understand that completely! Sad to see. And especially sad for small businesses. Keep the good people around. They’re the ones that make the business succeed.

They did the same to the one here. Same people owned it for eons. Then corporate wanted to make changes. They said no and closed it. Corporate built a new one in town. Not doing so well as everyone loved the other owners and the personalized service. What a shame corporate is out all that money 🤭

A DQ went bad?!? That’s just plain wrong!! 😡

Hey guys. Can you help me settle an argument. If my human has a guest over, and the guest uses the bathroom, the polite thing to do is to barge into the bathroom to make sure the guest is safe in there? Right?

The humans think it’s cute, funny, but kinda rude! Thoughts?

So true every where now.

You can never have too many books imho. Go for it! 📖

I feel you. Yesterday was tornadoes and severe thunderstorms and 80°+. Today it was rain turning to snow and 54° to 13°. Illinois says hold my beer.

Fizgig says hey (sorry about the stupid TV noise and my own chatter, but if you listen carefully you can hear her trilling)

WHITE CAT WEDNESDAY! Yes, she's still here! Bea(utiful) is 4 years 9 months-old and sponsored by Leah Hennen. SNAP Cats rescued Bea from Oakland, CA. Bea does not have any special needs because she came to us bonded with her brother, Bertie, who is a dwarf kitty with ataxia. Once they were here for a while, the two de-bonded (is that a word?), and Bertie was adopted in November 2021. Bea is the typical, playful cat who can’t seem to run out of energy. Bea LOVES to chase the spring toy. Keeps her entertained for hours. Bea will make a wonderful addition to any family who has a cat or two about her age. If you don't have a cat or two, we can also help with that! Thanks to a generous Operations Grant from @petfinderfoundation , we’re able to purchase three months’ worth of food for Bea as she awaits her forever home. If you’re interested in Bea please fill out an adoption application at https://www.snapcats.org/category/adoption/catsforadoption/.

Cherry blossom time at RHS Wisley. Every year since these trees went in I've wanted to see them and every year I've missed them. Until now.
And I warned Mr Sloven what would happen if he didn't come. Snowdrops and callicarpa from the bargain section of the garden centre.
