Scamp and Colby's Gratitude List

Hi Everyone!
This is Scamp. Sophie is making Colby and me write this. For some reason she doesn't realise that we are house cats and are thankful for the same things pretty much all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love my life and I prefer it this way, it's not high on the excitement scale. So, here it goes.
I am thankful for my humans. I'm not saying this because I have been promised a treat after I'm done writing. I really mean it. Our humans are good. I like Sophie's hair. I like to sniff it and chew on it especially after she's washed it or even better after it's been coloured. I love freshly coloured hair. Carrie has nice hair too.
I'm thankful for grooming sessions. I need them so that I look my best. I am a beautiful cat, with long,silky,black striped fur and it takes some effort to look this good.
I'm thankful for milk. Milk is very good for me and Sophie keeps some special cat milk on hand. It tastes good too. I'm also thankful for ice cream that C shares with me and kosher blueberry muffins. Sophie lets me lick the crumbs. The kosher ones are the best.
What do you think Colby? Do you like the food here?
This is Colby and yes, I do like the food here very much. I like that tuna Sophie gets once in awhile. She needs to get that more often. I'm very thankful for the food and the treats.
It looks like Scamp is off for another of his beauty naps. I am thankful for him though. He's fun to tussle with and he does have nice fur although I'd never tell him that myself. He's vain enough as it is.
I'm grateful for the basement steps. They are covered with some kind of carpet that is fun to scratch and roll on. Sophie doesn't like it so I only do it when she's not around. I get caught sometimes though.
I'm grateful for ear and back scratches. Sophie is very good at this. She also scratches under my chin, but not too hard.
I'm grateful for my fleece bed and the two cat trees we have. They are really good to perch on and are right next to a window so we can see outside. Our house has lots of nice windows. I like that.
Lastly, I'm grateful for my tassel and feather toys. Scamp does not like to call them toys, he thinks it is beneath his dignity to play with toys. He considers it "training equipment". That's Scamp for you.
That is it for me. It's my turn to watch the front yard so I better get to it. Bye!
C,Scamp,Colby and I wish all of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

Simple Things

     C and I usually have a date day or at least part of a date day once a week. It's a time where we spend time with each other doing something fun or maybe simply having lunch out. Since Thursday was Thanksgiving and neither of us felt like eating out, we decided to go out for a hot chocolate.   Right before we left C had an idea. We should get our hot chocolate and also share a peppermint shake from Chick-fil-A. He said the the combination of the hot chocolate and the cool peppermint shake would be really good. I thought it was overkill, but agreed to do it.    After dropping a loaf of bread off at a friend's house we went through the drive through to get the hot chocolate. When I have a choice I usually get dark chocolate. It's not quite as sweet and has lots of flavour. C always gets milk chocolate. Then we went to Chick-fil-A. C went inside and picked up our preordered shake. It was topped with whipped cream and a cherry. I asked C if he wanted to cherry. He said no s

Released

   A few weeks ago I was asked to stay after a Ward Council meeting. Normally it's a meeting I don't attend, but the Relief Society president was out of town and one of my duties was to sit in for her on such meetings. I was fairly sure I knew what it was going to be about.     After the meeting I stayed behind while everyone had left. It was just me and one of the bishop's counselors. We sat in some chairs at one side of the bishop's office. He told me that I was going to be released from my calling as a Relief Society counselor. The release was going to be announced at Sacrament meeting (what the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints call their worship service.) that would take place in about 20 minutes. I'm sure I startled the counselor with my expression of joy and relief at what he told me. I'm sure he was expecting me to be upset and bewildered. Usually one knows about a release at least a few days before it happens.     I had a feeling that this was

Looking for A New Project

           Earlier this year I finished the 10 stitch blanket that I've been working on for a long time. It was a very relaxing project and I enjoyed working on it. Over the summer I haven't knit anything because of lack of time. Now it's fall and I have the itch to start knitting again. I also want a project to take to Door County with me.     I know that I said I wanted to knit a pair of socks, but I'm not sure now. I'd have to teach myself how to knit using a magic loop. I'm sure I could figure it out, but I'd  really like to do something easy and relaxing like that blanket was.     One project I was going to do is to crochet all the granny squares I have together to make a nice little blanket for Willow. It would be fun and relaxing, but it would be hard to take all those granny squares to Door County with me. The same is true for the sample blanket that I want to start. (although I could take a few small balls of yarn along and some stitch patterns to m
