This makes me happy we only had a 16 lb. smoked brisket for this Thanksgiving dinner. It was amazing (12 hours in the smoker).

Happy Thanksgiving From Raphi 🐈 & Maddie 🐈‍⬛. We’re thankful for so many things, especially good friends (and treats).

It was a glorious thing to see March 2024. 🌷 Hoping for anything even close this Spring.

These two are the best I’ve read so far this year. The writing in both is extraordinary. 📚

She’s Back! 🎄🐾🤍 Bestie neighbor texted this to me last night. Fancypants Persian kitty, Luna posing as an ornament.🤭

I’m So Sorry! 🙀…had to make a special Sam’s Club run. We ran out of treats. 💯 unacceptable!

Will add to my TBR. Here’s another good 📚Solito, A Memoir.
Harrowing 2 mos for a 9 yr old boy from El Salvador migrating 3,000 miles alone to reunite w/ parents already in U.S., whom he’s not seen in yrs. Can’t imagine the level of desperation felt by his family to risk such a journey for a child.

📚 Just Finished: As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow 🍋🍋🍋🍋… the human side of immigrants from war torn countries, in this case Syria, seeking asylum. A tale of fate, survival & hope.

💭 Raphi & Maddie Thoughts
🐈‍⬛🐈 …If only we had the same here. Meow. 🐾🐾

“They are an alluring reminder of what's possible when we peacefully share our spaces, our food and our lives with others, at home and while travelling.”

Aww. And I have a special fondness for gray tabbies. My 1st kitty ever was Allie, found as a kitty in a trash dumpster. I was lucky to be her person for nearly 12 years, before cancer stole her. Forever missed & loved. ❤️‍🩹🐾 Hugs to your sweet gray tabby, Shadow from us.

That’s what I like about quilting (new, unexpected hobby in my early retirement years) … just a little bit every day or so & one day you have a whole little piece of art. I think a kitty blanket for Wild Thing may be just the thing! These were 2 of Raphi’s favorites; rag quilts are esp fun & easy!😽

Raphi thought your gang might enjoy it and insisted we send to our Skinnerville buddies - Maddie isn’t keen on it just yet and lurking around it (she’s always the cautious one). You’re going to need replacement feathers & butterflies soon I think! 😹 This really makes me smile!

📍 Update: 12th & Final Block ✅
… next is a trip to the fabric store for the coordinating solid “offset” blocks in the quilt’s center section. It’s a process!

I think this is it. 😊

📚 Finished Last Night: When The Cranes Fly South 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ a poignant tale of 89 year old Bo’s last days, losing autonomy, control over his days to caregivers/son. Losing his wife to dementia, his best friend, & now having to surrender his beloved dog, Sixten, Bo is ready to go. Very sad & realistic.😢

📍Update: Last Class Show-N-Tell…mine is still a work in progress, but here’s completed ones by classmates! Lovely.💟

Update: Absolutely NOT the 12th Block! 🚫… the Y-Seams 💯 defeated me. 🏳️

I still have all the Kennedy half dollars I collected as a kid. Haven’t seen one in circulation in years and years. Likewise, a shiny penny is just as priceless, even more now, for the feeling of randomly finding one.

📚 Just Finished: Cat’s People
🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ …an 11 yo black stray kitty survivor of the streets, Cat, brings together 5 “stray” people. A feline Hallmark-like story that speaks to how cat people are a very special breed, & how there’s no such thing as “just a cat”.🐾

Hi Raphi. 🪑🐈…are you supposed to be sitting on that chair, mister?
