Adoption Time

Hubby and I have been waiting to adopt a few kitties.
We kept waiting for the perfect time.  What if we move?
Should we wait.  Time was going bye.  I suddenly decided
why are we waiting?  Life is too short. Let's just adopt.

We looked on a few rescue websites and found these two:

This is Sam  3 months old

 
This is Vic  5 months old
 
 
Are they not precious?

So we filled out our adoption paperwork and
got approved !   On Saturday we were off to
Petsmart to meet them.

Drove them home and before you knew it
Vic (who we renamed Judah) after Lion of Judah
 was right at home.


He wanted to be right by Gary.
























Right at home here within hours

Sam (who we renamed Percy) after Gary's
dearly loved Grandfather was hiding under
the bed.  It was killing Gary to have poor Percy
scared under the bed.  Gary played with the
toys until slowly Percy made an appearance.
That was all it took - from that minute on
Percy was at home too!

Here are a ton of photos - life with kitties:

Judah enjoying laying by the window.















How about a nap?















Upside down and comfy !



We have a lot of toys - Mom heard it will prevent us
from getting into too much trouble.














Not sure it worked though because this dripping
faucet sure has my attention !

















What is going on outside?


Percy loves to play !



Here I am with my Mom - she was a dog person until
I came along - changed her mind about us.


I love my brother, we are besties !
 
 
Even if we wrestle sometimes.


Percy likes the window view also even though he is
still to small to jump up himself.


Buddies !


Mom's watching TV and we are watching the Moon.


Side by side sleepy boys


Side by side nosey boys
















Judah is a Mom's boy and Percy is a Daddy's boy !

55th Wedding Anniversary

My dearest friends are celebrating 55 years !
They have been an example to me of love, caring,
loyalty, friendship, perseverance and faith.
I met
Sara and Cliff when I was just 7 years old and we
moved next door to them in Oceanport.
I quickly became their sixth child. I went on every trip with
them from skiing in Vermont to visiting family in Michigan.
They rounded up all the children on the street and took
us to VBS and Sunday School.  My foundation of
faith began because these dear people lived their
faith.


















We headed out to Lewisburg PA to celebrate !

 
Cindy, Cliff, Luke, Lydie and Holly
Sara & Cliff
 
They have quite a legacy of children, grandchildren
and 1 great-grandchild and one on the way.

















David, Mackenzie, Jeff, Clara, Meredith
Maddie, Olivia and Caden (Jack couldn't make the trip)

We had an blast all getting together and it is not easy
as we are spread out all over.
