Scamp Gives an Update

 


   Hi! This is Skamp! 

   Sophie has a case of writers block so I am filling in for her today.  C has been complaining about the weather. It's been much colder than normal which means that the humans cannot go out and ride their bikes or do other things outside. He's found other things to do, but it makes him sad that it is rainy and cloudy.

   I, on the other hand, have no problem with the weather. There are lots of things to see outside. There are birds building nests and other animals outside. I watch them carefully to make sure that none of them harm my humans. I am the Chief HouseCat and take my duties seriously. 

   Another thing I like to do is watch cars. There are a lot of cars that pass by the house especially in the morning. They go very fast. I am surprised they do not crash they go so fast. Sophie says that they are not going as fast as they seem. I don't know. I always tell my humans to be safe when they drive in their car.  

   One thing I do like about the weather being what it is is that the humans are home more. I like having them around. I like to cuddle with them. Sometimes Sophie will give me a ride on her shoulders as she is doing things in the house. I also like that spring cleaning happens when the weather is like this. All my blankets get washed. They smell kind of funny until I have laid on them for a few days. 

   I got a little upset when C and Sophie threw away my favourite pillow on the chaise. I liked laying on that pillow. Colby used to lay on that pillow too. Sophie said it was dirty and out of shape and couldn't be cleaning or repaired. She gave me some new pillows to lay by and one that I like to rest my head on sometimes. It's not as good as the old one, but I'll get used to it. 

   I found a new training tool. In the room where C and Sophie practice their music is a basket of them. I found two furry mice that I like to practice with. Since I don't have to hunt, this keeps me in shape. It's good to move around a little bit.

   I just hear the clock strike the hour. It is time for me to patrol the house a little, grab a snack and take a nap.

  Bye!

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
