Veterans Day

VETERANS DAY ART WITH LISBETH

Caturday Art

I am here to celebrate and honor all veterans of the armed services on behalf of Kitties Blue and our humans.

Mom took this photo for me to send to Charles, as I am lying on one of the purple blankies he sent me. I thought it would make a great starting point for today’s art, which we are entering in Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s Caturday Art Blog Hop.

My art was created using PicMonkey and Picasa.  I love how my eye ended up framed by one of the stars on our American flag.

 

 

Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, honoring military veterans; persons (and animals) who have served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

 

 

Daniel William Lipinski is the U.S. Representative for Illinois’s 3rd congressional district, serving since 2005. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Yep…it’s time again to put on your best smile and snap a photo for tomorrow’s blog hop. Entries were really off last week. If you’d like to invite your friends to join in the fun, that would be terrific.

Until then…

Purrs and paw-pats, Lisbeth

 

 

PRAYERS AND THANKS

Prayers Please

We usually purrticipate in the Friendly Fill-Ins each Friday. However, both Mom and all of us were having a very difficult time figuring out what we waned to say, so we are going to skip this week. We hope our hosts, Annie (McGuffy’s Reader) and Ellen (15 And Meowing) will forgive us.

Instead we’d like to ask you to send some purrs, prayers and POTP to two of our ginger tabby friends.

Toby from Toby’s Wrecking Crew has been feeling poorly for the past few days. He’s off to the vet today. We are keeping our paws crossed that no serious health issue are found.

Our friend and Mau’s Cat Scout pal, Wally from The Island Cats, is suffering from pancreatitis. He had to spend several days in the hospital. He is home now under the care of the lady with yellow hair (Mom Sue). Unfortunately he had to have a feeding tube inserted in his neck and is on several medications. The Island Cats are taking a little time off from blogging so Mom Sue can take care of Wally. She has promised to leave updates on their Facebook page.

Finally, Kitties Blue want to thank all of those Americans, who have served in the U.S. military, for their service.

HONORING OUR VETERANS BOTH TWO- & FOUR-LEGGED

Kitties Blue are Honoring All Those Who Have Served to Protect Us and Our Freedoms

 

Kitties Blue are honoring veterans

While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms.
