THE DAY BETWEEN THE YEARS...

WE WELCOME THE HOPE THE NEW YEAR BRINGS...

I pray that the new year brings you HOPE and PEACE and JOY and LOVE...may memories surround you of days gone by and visions of the future fill you with anticipation of wonderful things yet to come.  We wish you a peaceful slide from the old year into the new...thank you for being a part of our lives, for loving us and for your gentle comfort during dark days.  HAPPY MEW YEAR!!!

PLEASE REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE NO WARM PALCE TO LAY THEIR HEADS...

 I can only imagine that this is the scene inside our kitty cat condo that lapdaddy built for the garden kitties...we filled it with straw and hope it keeps the kits warm from the blowing snow and icy wind...the picture below just touched my heart so...well it is Sunday and I love cat art so I hope it warms your hearts too!

 I love how the mousies are helping keep the nakked wee kidden warm...

 this picture reminds me of my Oma in Germany and of couse my Miss Peach...

 Dinner time for the garden kitties...

 Scrappy Cat licks her chops...

 Daddy Lion watched carefully over his family...

Wishing you all a warm and wonderful Sunday...be kind to strangers and share what you have...you will be blessed for it...

THE MOST WONDERFUR TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!

 We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by those you love and the memories of days gone by always alive in your hearts...

 our cozy cottage has humble decorations that are very traditional, the tiny tree has electric candles and cardinal's clipped to the branch tips...the pine swag on the mantle is full of poinsettias and snowflakes...

 our tiny tree also has beautiful fiber optic lights that give it a magical cotton candy look in the dark.

 we have fresh mistletoe from an Oregon farm...just in case someone stops under it for a kiss....(yes we are VERY careful to keep it out of reach because the white berries are poison!)

 the best part of any of my days is spent in my window next to my little candle...taking a nap and dreaming of what might come with the next year....mommy gave me another one of Miss Peach's blankets...I ickied up on the mohair one and it went into the wash...thank you mommy for loving me so much!

MERRY CATMUS TO EFURRRRYONE!!!







HE IS HERE HE IS HERE HE IS HERE!!!!!

Look who came all the way from Denver for Christmas at home here with us!!!!!  We are happy campers here at the cozy cottage!  I am sleeping with him tonight.  Hope your weekend is super great like ours is now!

TODAY IN HEAVEN...

"Knowing that when light is gone

Love remains for shining"

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~

How I wish we could turn back time...how I wish them all to come back to the arms that miss them forever...we will not forget them...in the shining lights in the darkness their names will be written forever...and we mourn their senseless deaths.
The prince of darkness rules the earth but we know the end of the story, and although his battles are fierce...he will not win.  Thank you God for sending us your son Jesus so that we may have hope!

20 ANGELS IN HEAVEN...

I know not why this had to happen...but I do know that they are with my Lord Jesus...each has a tiny kitten in their lap.

MY NEW CANDLE DECORATION...

mommy CHRISTMASFIED my candle and gave me Miss Peach's special blanket for my window seat...it keeps me extra cozy and I love to knead on it...

THE THREE FACES OF CHRISTMAS...

Our beloved Miss Peach will always be in our hearts as the face of Christmas past...she complimented our lives purrrrfectly for many years of seasons...

We HOPE this might be the face of the Christmas future...we so wish to adopt a purrrfect kitty for our Lapdaddy...mommy made this card for our friend and brother Dragonheart many years ago...could this be the face of HOPE?

I am the face of Christmas present of course, and a beautiful face I am if I do say so myself...quiet and gentle I feel so at home now in the cozy cottage...I am a grateful kitty.

IT IS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY...and I remember back

I remember a day so long ago, in 2007 to be exact, December 5th.  I celebrated my birthday with the cat blogosphere for the first time.  Miss Peach gave me a party and it was such a big hit!  We had over 230 comments and 600 visits to that post!  Unheard of now, as our world has become so busy, we hardly have time to visit anymore.  But we have those wonderful memories we made together.  Go back and have another cuppa tea with Miss Peach  and read some of the comments as you will see old familiar names we all fondly remember.  I thank you for being a part of our lives then and now and in the future...

WITH GREAT SADNESS...we lost another dear friend...

The cozy cottage is deeply sadened by the loss of Jan who was the Rocky Mount Meezers mommy...I have posted a tribute picture on my other blog because it was done automatically from the source.  I still can not post new pictures here but will resolve that soon.  I hope that you will not forget us until we return.  In the face of all the sadness the Cat Blogosphere has had this week...we still have great HOPE in this season of Love and Peace...
