MeOW Hisssssss RaenaBelle!!! Stop jumpin’ on me!!! Mommy said you were gonna be nicer and less of a pain now that you aren’t in pain all the time. So what’s up with you?
I’s am nice sissy, I’s always nice. And, I’s not jumpin’ on you, I’s jumpin’ over you. Altho’ at the moment I’s not jumpin’ anywhere, I’s just sittin’ here. You’re the one with your bloomers in a twist.
We played around in the foto apps this weekend. This
is somethin’ called a squared pencil filter.
Me’s bloomers aren’t in a twist Raena. It’s Blest Sunday and time fur us to count our Blessings. Me will go furst. Pest or no, me’s glad that you’re feelin’ better and that your eyes are healin’ up well. Me’s also fankful fur your plans, you threw me a really great pawrty. Me’s fankful fur all our furiends; me’s pawrty wouldn’t have been the same without ‘em. And me got the cutest card in the snail mail from Valentine…fank you. Me also wants to say a meowsy big Fank you to PrincessErin fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday gift. And of course, me’s always fankful fur mommy. Me’s one Blest kitty girl fur sure.
We both are sissy. I’s fanky fankfull fur all the luvs, suppurrt and purrayers I’s received durin’ mine’s surgery and now fur mine’s healin’. Mine’s eyes have never felt better; and, mommy says I’s more luvvin’ than ever . I’s can see clearly now and I’s luvvin’ it. I’s enjoyed the pawrty too. And, I’s so grateful fur you and mommy, ya’ll are just the bestest family any kitty could ever want. (Something catches Raena’s eyes outside and she runs to the small perch to see what it is.) Look’it sissy, a squirrel. He keeps runnin’ back and forth from tree to tree.
He’s purrparin’ fur winter Raena. He’s purrobably tryin’ to collect enuff nuts to keep himself fed when it gets really cold outside. Fank goodness we don’t have to do that. Did you see the bunny that hopped past earlier?
I’s got in on the foto editin’ too. This is somethin’ called a recursion filter.
I’s missed him sissy. Why didn’t you call me? Ya’ know, ifin mommy would just let us outside, we could’a had fresh rabbit fur Fanksgivin’.
Sure we could Raena…like you know the furst thing ‘bout huntin’ bunny rabbits.
Well at least we could’a tried sissy. Ya’ never know when ya’ just might get lucky. MOL Anyways, you know Fanksgivin’ is Fursday, right? That means Christmas is only a few short weeks from now. While visitin’ one of our furiends the other day, we learned of this cool app that will let us gather our furiends info so we can send them Christmas cards. So, we’d like to ask all of you to click here and fill in your info. It’s totally free and private. We’ll be the only ones who can see your infurmation. And of course, we’ll never share your purrsonal info with anyone or use it to annoy you.
Another of Raena’s plans, huh? Well, me guesses far as plans go, this one’s purretty good. You just might be purretty good at makin’ plans after all Raena. Me can’t wait fur Christmas. You need to put on that thinkin’ cap of yours and help me come up with a great gift to give mommy.
Now that’s a great plan sissy. Furst tho’, I’s thinkin’ we should post our Gift Guide next week. You know, just in case peeps wanna shop those Black Furiday or Cyber Monday sales to get gifts fur their luvved ones and favorite furries.
Sounds good to me Raena. Let’s wrap this up and get to shoppin’. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.
Befur we go, let’s not furget to link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. I’s meow dibs on mommy’s lap, You can lay on the arm of the chair beside us sissy.
Sure Raena, ifin you can get there befur me. And no fair jumpin’ on me.
Till the next time………………………………………………………Be Blest!!!
MeOW RaenaBelle, you really did a great job with me’s carnival pawrty. Me wasn’t sure at furst, but you really do have some good ideas after all. The ice cream truck was a great hit. And everypawdy looked so pawsum in their masks. Me knows you worked really hard purrin’ it all together. ‘Specially since our innernets went out and you had to do it all over the weekend. (Dezi walks over to Raena and head bumps her) Fanks, me will plan you a great pawrty next year.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanky fanks sissy. I’s glad you had a good time and liked your pawrty. It was a lotta work and put us way behind in visitin’ our furiends, but ifin you’re happy, it was worth it. Meowin’ of visitin’ our furiends, we’re slowly but surely gettin’ caught up. However, our comments seem to disappear on some of your bloggy’s includin’ the wordpress ones. Now that might be cuz you’re monitorin’ ‘em, but ifin you’re not and don’t see a comment from us in the next few days, purrlease let us know, so we can try to figger out what’s happenin’. You might wanna check your spam folder furst tho’, we have ended up there in the past.
Yeah Raena, me hates it when we get behind. Fankfully most of our furiends unnerstand. On another note, me’s joinin’ the choir at cat scouts, so mommy’s tryin’ to help me record me’s audition track. And me told her she owed our furiends her rendition of Amazing Grace and at least a couple of country songs that they asked fur last year. Now that she has teeth again, she can form words and sing. So it’s gonna be a little busy ‘round here fur the next couple of weeks.
I’s just luvs it when mommy sings sissy. ‘Specially when she sings ‘bout us. She makes up the bestest songs ever.
Me likes it too Raena. But sometimes, the songs she makes up could use a little work. Ya’ know like when she sings, Dezi, sweet as apple pie? Like, is apple pie even sweet? We don’t even like apples.
Yeah well, ya’ might have a point there sissy. I’s not sure ‘bout bein’ her punkin’ pie either; but I’s do luvs it when she says we’re purrfect and her purrecious baby girls.
Me kind’a likes those pawrts too Raena. We really are Blest. Ya’ know, the holidays are here and peeps are startin’ to get really busy.
Sure ‘nuff sissy. I’s had mine’s thinkin’ cap on lately and I’s thinkin’ we should post a gift guide with our top picks. Mommy even received this cool new notebook fur furee, to keep track of all our plans and picks. And, ifin you’re like mommy and still like to use paper notebooks, we think you’d luvs it or one like it. Ya’ oughtta check out TeePublic, they’ve got some really cool things that would make great gifts.
Me thinks that’s a great idea Raena. Guess we better get to work on that befur Christmas sneaks up on us.
We thought this foto was kind’a cool the way I’s almost black and white
x’cept fur the outside. Mommy can’t see black and white fotos very
good, so we ‘pawlogize ifin it’s blurry.
I’s ready sissy. Just let me link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furidays right quick and we can start shoppin’ together.
Sure Raena, me will have a little bath while me waits.
Hey everypawdy, it’s me RaenaBelle. Are ya’ll ready to pawrty?!! Well come on in and let’s celebrate. There’s food and fun fur everyone. I’s gotta tell ya’, you all look pawsitively gawjus in your masks. Sissy and I’s wanna fanky fank all of ya’ fur comin’ to celebrate with us. 9 years ago on November 1st, sis Dezi came into this world; and a couple of weeks later on the 22nd of November, she chose mommy to save her and be her furever mommy.
That’s true Raena. Me had no idea what me’s life was gonna be like that day; but me knew without any doubt that me belonged with mommy. Our life hasn’t always been easy or fun, but it’s the bestest life this kitty girl could have ever asked fur. Me got an amazin’ sissyfur in Lexi; and she innerduced me to this pawsum world of the innernet and all our furiends. Everypawdy come on in and make yourself at home.
Look’it sissy, I’s got an ice cream truck to come by so everypawdy could choose their favorite. You can even have seconds or thirds. (Raena giggles as she wipes a smidge of ice cream from her whiskers)
Looks like you’ve already had some ice cream Raena.

Well sissy, I’s had to try it out and make sure the ice cream man brought the good stuffs. I’s also hired a caterer to cook us up some tasty eats on the grill and bring veggie platters fur those who don’t eat meat. Don’t worry, ifin ya’ purrfur your meat raw, just let the grill master know. We don’t drink, so the catnip teas and nip juleps are the strongest drinks we have, but who needs alcohol to have fun…right?.

(As Dezi walks over to get a nip tea, Raena motions for the band to come to the stage area.) Okay sissy, you go ahead. Why don’t you mingle and see who all showed up.

Hey Prancie, Sammy, Penny, Joanie, good to see ya’ll. Is any more of the family here? Brody and Trouble are ‘round here somehwere? That’s okay, we’ll ketch up to ‘em shortly.
(As the guests mingle and enjoy games and tasty food, they suddenly hear Raena meowing from the stage) Hey sissy,I’s got a surprise fur ya’. Could I’s get everypawdy to join us in singing Happy Birthday to the bestest sissy ever. A one and a two and a three…
Happy Birthday and Gotchaday Dezi!!! We luvs you so much. And now, I’s would like to let mommy say a few words.
Thank you Raena dear. Happy birthday my sweet sweet Dezi darlin’. The day I met you and you chose me to love was one of the greatest days of my life. You’ve brought me joy and happiness and so much love. I pray and ask God each day to give you a long and happy life with me. I can’t ever imagine a day without you in it. I also want to thank all of our friends for their love and support and for loving my girls. We pray every day and ask God to bless you and meet your every need.

Everypawdy, stay and pawrty as long as you like. We celebrate all month long, so have fun!!! We also have a little contest goin’, so vote fur your favorite mask befur ya’ leave. The winner will be announced next week. Mommy said there will be a small purrize awarded to the winner. We have put family members together since several were sent to us that way and we wanted to be as fair as possible. One last thing, I’s would like to fanky fank The Crooner’s (Pipo, Brody, Dalton, Trouble) fur your purrticipation in our pawsum band.
Till the next time…………………………………………………..Be Blest!!!
Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, today’s a very special Blest Sunday.
Raena: Really sissy? What’s so special ‘bout today?
Dezi: It’s Veteran’s Day, Raena. A day we take to ‘member the soldiers who fought, and many gave their lives so we could be free from tyranny. So many brave men, women and anipals gave their lives on distant shores, so that loved ones and even strangers like us could live our lives free from fear of wars in our own home. Me thinks we furget how things could be. We’ve been free fur so long that me thinks we sometimes take our Country’s greatness and freedoms fur granted.
Raena: I’s think you’re right sissy. It’s not purretty to think ‘bout young men, women and anipals lying in a trench on some foreign soil bleeding and dying. To think ‘bout them bein’ lonely and scared, and away from their families and loved ones; not knowin’ ifin they’ll ever see them again. To think ‘bout them swearin’ an oath to purrtect us…to die fur complete strangers. Soldiers who never gave a second thought to goin’ to bad places and facin’ bad people. Standing their ground and sayin’ “As long as I’m here, no one is going to hurt you”.
Dezi: So true Raena. There’s so much hate and discord in our Country right now. So many peeps sayin’ and doin’ things that would get them thrown into prison or killed in lesser Countries. Peeps tryin’ to take away the very freedoms that those soldiers bled and died for. The truth is, it’s a slap in the face, it’s like spittin’ on the graves of all those who bravely fought and lost their lives to secure those freedoms and make our Country great. It makes us so sad to hear ‘bout our vets bein’ treated badly.
Raena: I’s think all those soldiers who died to make America great are turnin’ over in their graves at some of the nonsense goin’ on right now, sissy. In our house, we bleed red white and blue. We honor our flag and each and every soldier who willingly defends/defended our Country and us from our enemies. We are so Blest to have been born in such an amazing Country. We are Blest to have a mommy who has taught us the price that was paid to make our Nation great.
Dezi: Yes Raena, we are indeed Blest. We fank and salute each and every veteran and their families today and every day. We fank each and every soldier who serves us now. You may not know us, and we may not know your name, but we ask God to Bless and keep you each day. While you’re watchin’ over us, God is watchin’ over you. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. and we wanna fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.
Raena: And, as we do each week, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Purrlease ‘member to fanky fank our vets fur their service. Because of them and their sacrifice, you can sleep safely in your bed at night.
