Monday Mancat Memories: Way too much snow!

These are various snapshots from February 2008; I see we had A LOT of snow that month! (BTW, we have way too much snow in February 2023 too!)

The boys were young and adventurous, of course--and always happy to be inside and cosy too. In order: Derry, Nicki (king of the hill), Nicki on the old couch, Derry having catnip play time, and Derry doing his impression of king of the hill. (Though Nicki did that better!) 💖






Next time I'll post from March 2008. It's fun, but very bittersweet, to look back through the old photos. I hope the stars align so I can adopt another fur baby at some point. :-)

BTW, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers regarding my mom and dad. My dad has had heart arrhthymia for a number of years, well managed (and he's quite healthy and active), so when he told me that he has CHF, I was taken aback. It's my mom who has had health issue after health issue all her life; Dad's always been robust and, in my little girl's mind, ageless.

But this is just life--none of us gets out of it alive. Both my parents are in their early 80s, and I know I'm blessed to have had them with me this long.

In the end, there's nothing to do but laugh--genuinely laugh--at the absurdity of life.

Wonderful pictures once again, and of all the snow that you get up there every winter. I'm still grateful this winter it's been so mild here. I'm just waiting for the shoe to drop in March and for it to go back to being winter. We're supposed to get a rainstorm today once again it should be a few inches but no snow. And then be extra warm on Tuesday and wednesday. I love seeing the kitties they are so beautiful. Be sure to take care of yourself, as you've got enough worries on your mind.

I'm sitting here at 2am thinking of how cool our nights aee getting at 15deg C, and one day of summer left. Lovely to see your boys having fun outside.
Enjoy your folks, how lucky you are to have a mum and dad.

Kim thank you for sharing these flashbacks of your boyz!!
Brrr on the cold Feb
Feb has been too warm here in Dixie and we are told to brace for the 2nd and 3rd week of March since currently the weather maps show a very cold snap.
As you can keep us posted on your parents.
Hugs Cecilia

Sorry, I missed the last post (until now). I know how tough it is to have ailing parents - I was fortunate that they lived together and about a 4 hour drive away. Too, I had a least one sibling (of the four of us) who was able to help sometimes. I'll be thinking of you.
Great photos of the boys, and the king of the hill ones made me smile. What a pair!

Yes it is hard to look back at old photos, but it also brings joy too. Thank you for sharing it is so nice to reminisce.

What great memories...except for all that snow!
Those are lovely memories of the boys.

All I can think of seeing those pictures of the boys on their snow-hill is: their bums must have been cold!

Having aged parents (and whose aren't when we ourselves are no longer young (sigh)) can be very distressing. It is just life, but I don't care for what life throws at us sometimes. My best thoughts go to your mum and dad.
They sure didn't seem to mind the snow and they looks pretty happy out there.

Hi Kim. As always, these are such beautiful memories of your beloved Nicki and Derry. Believe it or not, we finally got our first measurable snow of the season last night/today. We like not shoveling and all, but hopefully we won't have wicked drought conditions later in the year.

I do hope the stars align for you, so you can adopt another furf baby at some point! :)
Dearest Kim,
Those images and their stories do soften my pain...
Hugs,
Mariette
