“Did I just hear those dratted kittens?!” -Mayhem
She probably did! They’re out and about quite a bit these days. It’s possible Harry will learn his name as “Oh, Harry” (despairingly)…
Intent Polly, Harry REALLY loves sparkle balls, Polly and the apple, both of them, Mayhem observes.
I’m so glad the kittens came to live with you and Mayhem. Now there is kitten tv all day, every day.
Bob Ross would approve of the happy little trees.
I have some earrings that are made from fish scales. I think the beetle wings would work equally well for that.
Hope all the household occupants are starting to get along.
I meant to be doing something but ended up reading about Sutematsu 😀
Yay cute kitties! (all three of them)
I don’t know how I didn’t hear about the Princess Bride thing, either. Probably because we avoided Quibi, though.
Thank you for the link to the Rejected Princesses story! I’d seen these online somewhere before, and couldn’t remember enough about the title to get back to them. (Now I’ve bought the book so I won’t forget again. I hope.)
