Cat napping

March 12, 2009

(Sorry the blog was down some today. It was an oversight on my part in regard to paying for my domain name. I really need to set it up on automatic payment.) Emmie Cat is facisnated by the toliet. Every single chance she gets to be present for a flush, she is there waiting and [...]

Emmie Cat in hiding

March 1, 2009

She is not happy I found her hiding place under the table. See how she has her ears laid back? That means she is in between a little annoyed and more than just a little annoyed at being disturbed from her nap. I know why she is hiding here. See the sun on her paws? [...]

Three children in a row

February 7, 2009

My kids love to look at books. When they have a book in their hands they are quiet. So quiet that Emmie Cat must venture out from her hiding place to see what is going on. The children are so engrossed in their books they don’t even notice Emmie Cat sitting at their feet looking [...]

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2009

The year ended beautifully. We have been spending quality time with my oldest daughter. I have taught her to bake and knit in a few short weeks. She is a fast learner. She has made homemade apple pie, biscuits, cookies, pancakes, syrup, quiche, and soup not to mention what a big help she has been [...]

Moments from today

December 12, 2008

I am baking Snickerdoodles for a Christmas party at my two youngest daughters school. These cookies are simple but good. I would have preferred to make Christmas sugar cookies but I don’t have cookie cutters. I always forget to buy them until I need them. “I’m not up to anything! I don’t know [...]

Emmie being a cat

December 6, 2008

I have taken more photos of our sleeping cat. She is one of the best cats I have ever seen. I can even trim her nails and she doesn’t care. She is so sweet and trusting. She isn’t as loving as our last cat but I hope that she will grow into a lap cat [...]

The bug

December 4, 2008

I love a cat’s paws. I think they are so sweet. My five year old daughter is sick. It all started yesterday with a headache and sore throat. Last night, her body hurt and she had a fever. I have called the doc. She has an appointment later this afternoon. I hope it is just [...]

Cat photography is not an easy job!

December 3, 2008

I thought it would be nice to have some new photos of Emmie Cat since she has grown a little since we got her a little over a month ago. I have tried several times over the past month to get some good shots of this cat but it is not an easy task. [...]

Spending our days inside

November 20, 2008

It is COLD outside. So, we have been staying indoors looking at books, playing games and keeping warm. I miss our big blue skies that we usually have here in the Jura. The sky has been grey all day long in preparation for the snow we are to get tomorrow. Tomorrow…come rain or snow, I [...]

Our Emmie

November 19, 2008

My two youngest girls had collected a small bag full of chestnuts this past fall. Since we have brought home Emmie Cat, the chestnuts have dwindled down from about twenty to two. She chased this chestnut around the living room for about half an hour. She kept an eye on the chestnut even after she [...]

Bits of our weekend

November 2, 2008

My son kept asking me to give him strips of tape. I didn’t know what he was making. He came up to me and showed me his creation that he made with a marker, toilet paper roll and some tape. I asked him what it was. He told me drapeau (flag). This little guy didn’t [...]

Our Morning

October 31, 2008

Our Fridays start out with getting the girls off to school and then my son and I come home to spend some time together and play with the kitten. Afterwards, I straighten up the apartment, clean the litter box (only thing I hate about having a cat) and start lunch. Every Friday, Vilay comes home [...]

Emmie Cat

October 26, 2008

We haven’t had a family pet for years. Our family cat, Annie Cat, has lived with my brother for almost five years now. We had to leave her in the States when we moved to France in 2004. Today, Vilay finally caved and said we could have a cat. It wasn’t just the pressure from [...]

Things

August 19, 2008

Small Swiss cowbell we bought from a vendor set up outside the Marché Concours in Saignelegier. Cup and saucer given to us by my husband’s aunt and uncle in Prague. These cat decorations are seen all over Prague. I love the whimsical feeling and the bright spring colors. Saucer alone. Cup alone. We moved into [...]
