Favorite little bread plates

It was good to see Annie playing with her toys today. This is the first time I noticed her being playful since Lily died. The sun was shining through the windows and leaving sun-puddles in every room for the cats. I think, that alone, cheered her up and gave her more energy.
She took advantage of a puddle soon after she wore herself out.

I just love that little peachy nose.
I have been spending a lot more time with Annie the last few days.
She is loving the extra attention. I gave her a massage today and she slept for hours after. Not that that is anything odd for a cat. haha! 

I've been alone for a few days so I baked up more apple-sauce oatmeal cookies; some for me and some for the freezer. 
Nothing goes better with a hot cup of tea.

Packing is a great way to come across some items you have not seen for awhile. These were always my favorite little bread plates.
This time I packed them away in the bin marked 'kitchen' so I'll be sure to unpack them and use them more often at the mouse house.

                              The little pottery mug was a find at our local thrift shop.
                                         I can never have too many pottery mugs.
                                                They are all pieces of art to me.

"Oh, Mr. Sunshine you are so welcomed today.  Annie & I hope to see more of you this week."

The electrician finished up at our property today. It was a cold day but he didn't seem to mind working outside a bit. We finally got our indoor lights, garage lights and motion detectors up.

"Thank you very much."
Now if we could just find our 'ever-elusive inspector' for the last inspection.

I'm joining Share Your Cup Thursday at http://jannolson.blogspot.ca/

Stay toasty,
Deb

    1. Hi Linda - I knew you'd love those plates. :)) You'll have to visit sometime and have some cookies on them. The retired-guy had to attend a funeral in Kitchener for his cousin's wife. Very sad...only 58 (cancer). Hope you are feeling better now.

  9. Thank you for telling us how Annie is doing. I have been thinking of her and hoping she was coming back to herself. She sure is a sweetie. It was wonderful to hear that you have been giving her some extra attention, even though you said you would be, and even a massage today. Bless you and the sun puddles for helping her feel better. Such a little love she is.

    Your house is just too exciting for me! I am loving it for you!

    Love,
    Lily

  15. I love those dear little plates! Perfect for a couple of those delicious-looking cookies and a mug of tea! It's been so long since we have had sun, I don't know that the cats would know what to do with sun puddles!

  16. It must be exciting and sad at the same time as moving day approaches. I was given good advice about moving: make the bed first. You won't want to work all day moving, unpacking and storing, only to discover, when exhausted, that you still have to make the bed.

  17. What great plates for the mouse house. I am looking for ward to having tea with some lovely cookies on them.
    Glad to see Annie starting to be herself ..... must be so hard for them to understand when their friend has just gone away.. :(

    Stay warm .....

  18. Annie is such a dear kitty. We hope she isn't missing her dear friend too much. All of the extra physical contact should help a bit. She was always so close to Lily.
