This and That

This is what is going on in Houston.

No, I'm not going.
I'll watch on television.
Houston traffic is bad enough without the Super Bowl in town.
I'm staying home!

I finally got a good face shot of Oliver.
He is a good boy.
He doesn't meow -- he sort of yodels!
Yack, Yack, Yack!

The morning after some medical tests.

Eggs Florentine at Hungry's.
Delicious.

Tulips from the grocery.

I've been a big fan of Shelagh Duffett's art.
I read her blog and follow her on FaceBook.
When she announced her book was published,
I knew I had to get a copy.
It's a lot of fun.
Page after page of cats and the alphabet.
Perfect for bedtime reading for the kids or for me! 

I also finished another of the Mirror Image Scarves.
I'm keeping this one!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

I finished one postcard swap and can now show you the cards.

This is the one I sent:

and this is the postcard I received in return:

Isn't it fun?!!

I love the little feet.

It makes me smile.

Thank you, Deb!

You can meet Deb at Learning To Just Breathe.

Talking about postcards:

It's February and time for Valentine postcards.

A reproduction vintage Victorian Valentine postcard.

No artist or publishing date was given.

Cupid is in attendance with his box of hearts.

Take care, Cupid!

Thanks to Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday.

I watched the first half of the Super Bowl and then switched to Downton Abbey.

In case you were wondering if the kitties and I had a favorite team

 -- this should answer that question.

My BSD (beautiful step daughter), her knight in shining armor and my amazing grandson live in the Seattle area. 

But I've been a Seahawks fan for a long time. 

I love the colors and the mascot!

Not everything is baseball or football around here.

I attended part of the women's tennis match at Rice and came home with a new T-shirt.

A girl can never have too many Rice University T-shirts.

This one says Rice - Women's Tennis. 

The match was between the Rice Owls and the Stanford Cardinal.

Stanford is ranked #1 and the Owls #22.

Stanford won, but it was fun to watch the Owls give the Cardinal a good match.

*****

Still cold and damp and cloudy here.

A little sleet yesterday morning. 

I'm still doing some odds and ends around the house.

I was in bed, looking at the ceiling and the smoke detector and thought

"Yikes -- something else to do -- change out the batteries in the smoke detector!"

Do you do that, too -- have your best thoughts and ideas when you are almost asleep?!

It's always fun to visit with Nancy and the Random 5 bunch.

Thanks, Nancy!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!
