Beach Weather and Kitty Kats

It's August and the weather has been nice and hot.  I've been to the beach twice and I just love it there.  I get too brown, which is bad for the skin, but I kinda also like how I look brown.  This will probably be the last year...age is catching up with me.  Went to see Gordon Lightfoot in a small concert - look him up...he did "story songs".  He is still pretty strong, despite his age.

I decided to start doing some good.  A cat had kittens at my apartment building and they got away (old enough to jump) before I could capture them.  But there are a few other feral cats around the building so I bought a trap and have begun trapping them and having them neutered.  Then I release them back into the wild (they can't be tamed, unfortunately).  There are two kittens, however - a white one that is the only surviving one from the kitten litter (the mother and 3 others disappeared) and a grey tabby that has begun hanging out with him.  I'm going to try and capture them and maybe they will be young enough to socialize and get them adopted.  Here's hoping!!

There is a lot of talk about gun ownership right now because of all the school shootings in the United States.  I am really glad the two of you don't have to worry about that sort of thing in Monaco.  An interesting story though (think about this.....) there was a kid who stole a plane, thinking he could fly because he played video games.  Course, he crashed the plan, and...well...game over.  Do you wonder if kids will think the same thing about guns because of the games?

Happy Birthday Taylor

Happy Happy Birthday to Taylor - a HUGE 12 year old this year.  Are you shaving yet?  Ha Ha

June is NOT warm

It has been an extremely cold June here in the northeast.  We had two snow blizzards in May, and on June 4 it was only 63 degrees.  I don't know what weather is like in Monaco, but for here that is VERY cold.  I wanted to turn on the heat in the apartment, but they had already switched over to air conditioning.  So I am in jeans, a sweater, shoes and socks.  Normally, I would be at the beach in the sun!!  Well, I am going this weekend so it had better be nice!!

Going back to Florida for July 4th to see the fireworks.  They are always good.  Although I can also see the fireworks in New York from my balcony which faces that direction!!

here's hoping for warmer weather soon!!

Happy Birthday to Emmerson and Nici!!!

Happy birthday Emmerson on the 13th and Grandma Nici on the 14th!!  I told mommy that you should have waiting another day to be born so we would have the same birthday!!!  Here is an amazing princess cake for you.

Happy Valentine February!!

Wow, February has been very strange.  Very warm one day, and terrible snow the next.  I am healing from my second foot surgery which went extremely well.  A friend of mine sent several jigsaw puzzles and I have been doing them while I am resting.  Have you ever done a puzzle now that you are older?  Taylor did a United States state puzzle when he was only 3 years old an learned the name and location of all the states.  Do you still remember them?

This one is 1000 pieces and is almost 2 feet square!!

Love and kisses
Grandma Nici
