Bev just told me her mom was a trooper during her first PT session, she is very determined and focused.

&#160

She said to tell you all "thank you " for all your good wishes, and she loves the name "Graham’s Crackers!

Looks like all the cats want their own island. Hawaii, Greek, and Long Island (New York).

First choice Switzerland, then Canada or Norway. I love real weather!

Im happy where i am.

Happy Caturday, everyone!

And I love it up here! It’s cold, mid 60s, some rain, and the trees are glorious!

I posted nine pictures this morning to the Ten Cats Fan Club page on Facebook. I try to type cute captions with the pictures and copy the here to give you a reason to copy the url and go see them. It is very painful now to do this but I enjoy doing it. During the day, my Facebook app shows me when you and others view and comment on my efforts on Facebook. Thank all of you. I hope Pam gets good news in Denver soon about her new apartment. Where I live, with drilling going on, apartments are scarce and rents are astronomical.

You can see cats and dogs in your local Walmart shopping. What great entertainment.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206977359784194&set=o.331800560506891&type=3&theater

I posted a picture on the Ten Cats Fan Club page on Facebook. A cat’s weekend to-do list.

@ all Friends of Ten Cats

Love the name Graham’s Crackers, too, but please let me know about the meaning of a cracker. In German it is a salty biscuit, something to eat – another meaning is nice guy – a third meaning is like a christmas cracker – have translations with the word cracker like jumping cracker, Florida Cracker, lobster cracker, Shrimp cracker… ;-)

Which crackers would we – you and I – be “smilingtoyouall”?

I want to thank, again, the people that donated to help me acquire the van.

Yesterday the wife of my mid-day client had a Dr. appointment in Corvallis, and my client asked me to take her, and HIM, to the appointment. So, we took a little road trip.

As road trips go it wasn’t anything special. An hour and a half driving over, a little less than an hour siting in a waiting room, and two hours back.

Two hours because we stopped at a Dairy Queen for a late lunch. That was the high point of the trip.

The reason that i am thanking all of you again is because of the reaction of my client over the whole thing. He was ecstatic. The whole trip. Watching the traffic, and the fall colored trees, and even a stop at a rest area for his wife was the best thing ever.

He couldn’t stop thanking me, with is why i am thanking all you again.

Without YOUR donations to the fund, the trip would not have happened.

On his behalf, Thank You!

Thank you bbear. Right now it is wait and see. Keep sending good thoughts. I’m still not sure how I will get moved when the time comes, but have to believe it will all work out.

Well, Precious has learned how to purr and snore at the same time. I wish I had a way of recording it so I could share. It is rather sort of sweet.

Marge, this is from Wikipedia:

The graham cracker (/ˈɡræm/; also graham wafer) is a type of cookie confectionery.

The Graham Cracker was inspired by the preaching of Sylvester Graham, who was a part of and strongly influenced by the 19th century temperance movement; Graham believed that a vegetarian diet anchored by home-made whole grain bread, made from wheat coarsely ground at home, as part of a lifestyle that involved minimizing pleasure and stimulation of all kinds, was how God intended people to live and that following this natural law would keep people healthy; his preaching was taken up widely in the US in the midst of the 1829–51 cholera pandemic.1:15-272:29-35 34 His followers, Grahamites, formed one of the first vegetarian movements in the US, and graham flour, graham crackers, and graham bread were created for them and marketed to them; Graham did not invent these products nor profit from them.1:29

The site has a picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cracker

Ironically, it is now used with marshmallows and chocolate to make smores at the campfire. Hardly what the Grahamites intended!

Hi too Marge!

We love your postings, English is a hard language to learn, I would not do so well with German, even though my Grandmother spoke it to me. I guess I was not paying attention!

I hope we explained well the meaning of Graham’s Crackers, and you are most welcome to be one!

Hi Marge! My husband Chris learned German in school (he’s 63 now) and still remembers a lot of it. I learned French.

I love Canada, but can I have New Zealand? I’ve always wanted to go there. Or maybe Ireland? I’ve been there loads of times (it’s only a 40 minute flight from here) and Ireland is great.

Happy Caturday y’all! My 2 outdoor guys (Aaron and Joe Cat) got into it on the feeding table yesterday and knocked down the water bowl which broke. Then I saw 2 flashes of white disappear around the corner, like they knew they were in trouble!. I’m using a plastic replacement for the time being. >^..^<

Hi to the Graham Clan Crackers…from Alexandria, Virginia. Daughter and I exhausted from driving in rain for part of trip, and making ‘many’ pit stops (she drank 24 oz Starbucks coffee to stay awake) LOL. Visited other daughter and both grandsons for short while and back at hotel. Tomorrow late afternoon is birthday bash. It was a 6 hour trip with all the stops…but the sun is shining brightly and the deep blue sky is filled with puffy clouds.

LROS….please let Beviek and her mom know that I am happy to hear the PT is going well. What a relief.

Take care all.

Great pictures today. :)

I’ll take Niagara on the Lake or OC, MD. You can keep New York Jack and Chesney, if you mean the city itself!

LROS good to hear re: Bev’s mom!

And HI MARGE and PPYFSS!
