Beautiful Autumn weather

Wow,the last 3 days have been so nice,in high 60s,low 70s & the sun so nice and bright. Unfortunately the leaves haven't been bright colors due to higher temps,but you can't have it every year. Saturday Snowball & Sunshine got their stitches removed so they are really happy now-I can't believe Sunshine didn't take them out herself-have had 3 other female cats do that. Now they have assumed the roles of "big sisters" or sub moms to the 4 kittens-is funny as when they give them baths,they lick the fur so it stands up. Ever see 4 kittens running around having "bad fur " days?It is quite a sight! Then they have learned to climb all over(too early for me)-the other day I was sitting working on a project when I heard a THUMP & all I could see were 2 dogs & about 4 cats just staring at our covered swinging top wastebasket. Imagine my surprize when I took off the lid to see a frantic Gizmo at the bottom trying to figure how to get out. Once I stopped laughing it didn't take long but Giz didn't appreciate my sense of humor. Well,last nite another THUMP was heard so hubby went out & in there this time was Tinkerbell. I have to figure out a cover in case I am gone sometime. Today I did some errands & had just gotten home when cousin LaDonna called asking me to meet her for lunch-so did my Willie Nelson imitation"On The Road Again"(this needs to be our familie themesong) & met her at Mary's Diner . We had a nice time mostly visiting which I will miss alot after she & her hubby retire this year & head for Texas for the Winter. At least we have the Internet so that will help. Steff & Rob are due home this weekend and we all are looking forward to it,seems they have been gone forever! Saturday I got to babysit Jessica a few hours and oh the hugs and kisses she gave Gramma! I treasure each & every one!!!! Just wish I could spend more time with her. Then Sunday Amy was so sweet-gave me a break by taking care of Steff & Rob's cats both times-I was lazy & just relaxed-worked on some plastic canvas ornaments and watched football(my Steelers went down) & the last of the Red Sox-Indians. Guess I like torture as had watched NASCAR earlier and my favorite,Ryan Newman came in 2nd. Guess I had better close for now as will soon be time for "Mom's Kitchen" to open for cats & dogs-another day the cleaning didn't get done. Maybe tomorrow????????????
