Day 176 of 365, Sunday. This cabinet holds a lot of intrigue for all things small, either children or cats. Patrick and Ellie love to hide in it, and today Jolly Mon tried to open the door on his own. I guess it is the perfect spot to hide.

Day 162 of 365, Sunday. It has taken three years, but Jolly Mon decided to make friends with Patrick today.

Day 157 of 365, Tuesday. Three years ago, a tiny kitten was abandoned in our garage behind the house. I know that is how feral cats behave. The mother picks which one of the litter she thinks has the best chance for survival, and abandons the rest. I've seen this happen at the farm, but this kitten was different. He looked me square in the eye and meowed. So, I fed him. We don't know exactly when he was born, but on his first vet visit, they guessed it was June 6, so that's what we celebrate. Happy Birthday, Jolly Mon!

Day 147 of 365, Saturday. This has been a truly great day. It feels like every time we are in Wilmington, all our cares are washed away. Even Jolly Mon seems to feel it.

Day 140 of 365, Saturday. Today was a good day. Donald and I reconnected with an old friend, one that we met shortly after we got married. Tim recently called Donald to let us know he got married and was having a marriage celebration backyard bbq at his house. Of course we wanted to go! I didn't take any photos while I was there, but it was so great to see him and meet his new wife. We also got to catch up with his parents, which was an added bonus. Anyway, I continue to get the signs to get over myself and my embarrassment about my legs. They will get better. There was a lady at the party battling ovarian cancer. She had lost all her hair, and I talked to at length about her prognosis. Again, I get it. Chill out.

This photo makes no sense with today's post. But since I didn't take any pictures at the party, here is a cute picture of Jolly Mon. He looks like he wears eyeliner.

Day 113 of 365. Jolly Mon's silliness strikes again! This morning while I was getting ready for church, he decided to play hide and seek. Can you find him?

Day 109 of 365. My goodness! I got a little behind on making my posts. I assure you I have been taking photos each and every day, and even uploading the to my Flickr account. But, I have neglected writing about them. So I am in catch up mode today (Sunday).


Wednesday night while Donald and I were eating supper, Jolly Mon made us laugh and laugh. He loves to sit by the open door and look outside. This time he appears to be raising his hand.

Day 98 of 365. Today's location choice is inside our little house. It is laundry day, and I always have a helper. Lately, he's wanted to burrow under any kind of cover he can find. Today it happened to be on my clean clothes. I don't know what my life would be like if it wasn't covered in cat fur.

Day 79 of 365. Happy first day of Spring! It was a beautiful day! When the weather is this nice, we like to open the windows. Jolly Mon loves to sit in the bathroom window and watch the squirrels.

Day 78 of 365. It is never dull with Jolly Mon around. Today he helped me build an IKEA cart.

Day 52 of 365. Another picture of Jolly Mon today. For some reason he has been wanting to snuggle in the evenings. It is kind of hard to tell, but you couldn't fit a piece of paper between the two of us.

Day 51 of 365. We have all be enjoying the mild weather lately. Jolly Mon loves it when we open the front door, and he will lay there as long as we let him.

Day 38 of 365. I almost missed taking a picture today. Not because I forgot but because it was such a busy day. Here's a last minute picture of Jolly Mon. He was trying to tell me something, but I have no idea what it was.

Day 24 of 365. To play or not to play. That is the question.

Day 22 of 365. He turned out to be a beautiful cat, don't you think?

Day 21 of 2017. Jolly Mon has been in big trouble today. It started early this morning when he tried to jump on Donald's desk and wound up knocking everything onto the floor. As such, he has been sticking pretty close to me all day, but has been trying to make up with Donald.

Day 17 of 365. We started student interviews tonight for the Early College Program. That means it was a super long day for me, and I didn't get home until almost 9. All I wanted to do when I got home was sit down, and it looks like Jolly Mon was happy I was here.

Day 15 of 365. I would say Jolly Mon was happy to see us when we got home today.
