Felines All Around!

 Hello.   Emily here.   I've convinced Mom to write a quick post for us today.  She has been checking her phone countdown app a lot these past few days.   It tells her how many days she has until her vacation.  It's getting closer.

 Mom found these sockettes at the mall.  She is saving it for her first day of vacation.   You should have heard her giggling to herself when she took it out of the shopping bag once she got home.  Goodness. 

 Hello now from Winston.   Yes.  The Mom is looking forward to her time off.  She has lots of catching up to do during that time.  Autumn is her favorite time of year and she hopes to get some photos of the changing leaves.

 Mom also found these earrings at the mall.  These are her first ever pair of Halloween earrings!

A Fun Day Trip and Thank You

 Hello.   It's Winston.  In this photo, I am feeling very happy and content.  See the wonderful box and mouse?   I wanted to thank everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday in last week's post.  I do appreciate your visits.

 This past weekend our Mom went to the town of Stratford, Ontario with some friends.  Their first stop was at this amazing candy store called Rheo Thompson Candies.  Woohoo!  Mom said it was mostly chocolate.  She also said it smelled heavenly!

 Mom loved this Halloween kitty chocolate. 

 This Mountie bear with chocolates was so cute!  (But we are cuter!)

 Hello now from Emily.  Excuse me while I sip ambrosia water from the bathroom faucet.   Sometimes I can get Mom to do my bidding and turn on the water for me. 
Mom's fun visit didn't end with the candy store.  They also went to a bookstore.  Mom said there were books on the floors and the mantel ....books everywhere.

 She said it felt like the kind of store where something "adventure-y" might happen.

 Mom almost bought a set of these salt and pepper shakers.  Thankfully, she realized it would be silly to buy them when she had much better-looking felines at home.

 I will close with this figurine of the Queen.  Apparently, she waved at everyone.

Birthday Boy Whoops it Up (sort of)!

 Happy Birthday to ME!   It's Winston.  My B-day is on September 2!  It takes a lot of energy to whoop it up so I saved all my feline shenanigans for the long, Labor Day weekend.

 Nope!  Not that kind of whooping it up.  Though I would certainly like to get all the presents these felines would be forced to bestow upon me.

I didn't get any of these toys, either.   Though we did get some kitty spirals recently.

 This is what I got for my birthday!   My favorite flavor, too!   Since I'm such a gentleman I will share with Miss Emily.

 Ahem, Mommy, don't you think a little privacy is in order?   Yes, Winston is a year older but I'm not certain he is a year wiser.  *Don't tell him I said that!*

 Mom enjoyed her long weekend...by taking long walks.

 This leaf says autumn is coming but we are still in the midst of a heat wave.  Phew.  It's enough to curl your furs!

 Mom saw this electric bike outside the grocery store.  She said if only it were hot pink with a basket....woo hoo.  World watch out.  Thankfully, she walked on by except to snap this photo.

 More signs of autumn in the Dollar Store.  Mom bought several cards and napkins but showed restraint by NOT purchasing this Thanksgiving wreath.
I will close for now with this!
Happy purrs
Winston the happy birthday boy
and Miss Emily
