THE GREAT VALENTINE COOKIE CAPER 2009

Valentine's Day and grandkids has got to mean DECORATING HEART COOKIES

Grannycat and the bairnies decorate up the best looking, best tasting cookies on the planet.

Burial at Tree

Perhaps you think I jest.

Yesterday, I was struck by a white flower lodged about 5 feet up in an evergreen in our yard. I assumed it was a silk flower- it being February and all. But no! It was a real live chrysanthemum flower lying atop a recently deceased pine siskin.

Undoubtedly it was found by a neighborhood child and given a proper send off where it was protected from attack or predation

I thought it was quite touching. RIP little friend

HELLO FROM MOMCAT

Hi there!
I'm Momcat.

Not merely A Momcat, but THE Momcat. This has been so for at least 30 years when I began drinking coffee out of a Kliban Momcat Mug, and my kids decided it was my real-i-o, trul-i-o identity. Even though I am not marsupalian, it seems to have stuck.

By now, of course, I am also a Grannycat.

Behold the adorable grandchildren.

There is also a grandpapa in this mix--referred to as "The Fatherhead"

Momcat and The Fatherhead have been married since 1965. Which, of course, makes us either the subjects of a childhood arranged marriage or quite ancient. We ain't-a divulgin' which.

Now back to us and the Salt Lake City Menagerie
Except for one misbegotten venture into the realm of pound hounds with Baskerville, we have always had Brittany Spaniels- in fact, we currently own Brittanies # 5 & 7 --Cooper and Tali (Talisman) They were preceded by our "furry bakery" Spice Cake (the mommie) and Apple Strudel (the hunting machine), then Mystery, Jesse (Jester) and Sadie (the Vixen).

**You may gather that we have long since decided that there is nothing quite so wonderful as a Brittany**

Cooper (L) is 10 years old Tali (R) is almost 16- the oldest Brittany we've ever had

Well, that's it. If you lived thru the introduction, come back again for shorter updates as they happen.
So long from Momcat and the Fatherhead !!!!!

Minnesota Visit!

This is a test post to set up the blog. More to come....stay tuned!
