Thankful Thursday
GUESS WHO FORGOT TO SCHEDULE OUR POST BEFORE SHE WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT? GOOD HELP IS SO HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS!
Lisbeth asked to be first up today with thankfuls. She received some terrific birthday gifts from her thoughtful and generous boyfriend, Charles, and his mom, Inge. But she wasn’t the only one. Charles and Inge also sent a birthday gift for Astrid, as well as all the Kitties Blue and me.We are all so fortunate to have Charles and his wonderful family in our lives. Here are a few photo of Lisbeth with her gorgeous hand-crocheted blanket and toys.
We have a couple of other things for which we thankful, including the continued kind and supportive comments and cards regarding our grief over Mau receiving his wings. Each of you is special to us.
Finally, I arose early enough on Tuesday to be a first commenter again on the Tuesday Teaser at Two Spoiled Cats. One again, however, I had to share this distinction with three others. I received another of these cool badges.
Kitties Blue and I are participating in the Thankful Thursday blog hop hosted by Brian. To join us, post on your blog for what you are thankful, then click on the badge below to go to Brian’s Home and enter your link.
Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Thursday is one of my favorite days of the week, as I love writing poetry. And it is particularly fun when I have to use my imagination to create something referential to the inspiration photo provided.
Here’s this week’s photo and my poem.
This chapel on the hill
Has fallen into disrepair.
It looks as if the congregants
Have maybe ceased to care.
How odd to see a burning light—
Perhaps a person does still come
To worship alone and say a pray
For a very special someone.

That’s a lot of wonderful things to be thankful for ! Happy belated birthday, Lisbeth ! Purrs
What great gifts you received, Lisbeth!
And we loved your poem! I love the way the light just glows with warmth in an otherwise rather dismal little chapel. The background light of a sunrise(?) is so beautiful too, a sharp contrast against the grey chapel.
What really nice gifts for all the furs! Charles is the best and so is Mom Inge. Love your poem and thankfuls. We always think of you and send our thoughts of support. It is so hard to lose a loved family member and those of us in the cat fraternity understand while some may not.
Happy birthday, Lisbeth!
Ut-oh! Lisbeth better not let Miss Misty May see all that stuff, because I’ll be in BIG TROUBLE then. My Human is sooooooo lazy she barely helps me post, let alone shop! I think this Charles is gonna make a LOT of ManCats look pretty bad, you know?
We loved your poem!
What great birthday presents and a great poem too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISBETH!
Charles is such a sweet and thoughtful boyfriend. My Sammy misses seeing him at Scouts. Great poem. Congrats on being first commenter- I am never up that early. XO
Those are lovely gifts, Lisbeth. A lovely poem too.
Lisbeth, you sure had a terrific birthday. What fun presents!
Happy Birthday Lisbeth! What a sweet poem, I didn’t notice the light in the chapel until I read the poem, very nice.
What wonderful presents you got Lisbeth! We do hope that you have a super magnificent birthday. We also think your Mom did a beautiful job on the poem this week. I suspect that there is someone in that chapel saying a special prayer – it’s a cozy spot to pray for sure.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom
Lovely haul Lisbeth….Charles is a handsome dude…..not as handsome as CooperMurphy but pretty darn close.
Tyebe
Nice score of goodies!
A mini-chapel, for folks traveling by road, perhaps?
