Ya’ll… It’s hot. HOT. I do not look good sweating and as I was walking the yard looking for my missing cat last night, rescuing a bird, and then saving a frog’s life from one of my other cats- I was hot. Redfaced. Upset because my cat that was missing is my sweet cat- but the one who manages to find trouble (Last time he went missing- he came home with a broken hip and over 500 bucks later at vet- he at least can climb and jump again!) So, when I saw a furry black creature running toward me last night and then heard his signature “Brr-ing”- I scooped him up and took him in the house for our version of Facetime (Jerry rubs my face with his head and sings “Brr-ing”) and me a very cold drink! Being a cat momma is tough work!

Happy Friday T! I’m in Myrtle Beach at our beach house for a few weeks and today was brutal. If you were outside, you had to be in the pool. So I had my swim, and came inside with the air conditioning for an afternoon of reading 🙂
Jealous! I wish I was at your beach house 😉 The past few days I’ve been reading while swimming in the pool-the pool water had been hot till we got a rain this week and the nights cooled a bit. Reading in the AC after being in the pool sounds like a slice of heaven 🙂 Enjoy!
Glad you found the cat.
Also, thank you for all the interesting links.
Thank you!!!!
I agree, it’s brutally hot and sticky humid here in NC too. Thanks for sharing about my Pinterest Party. It’s so much fun and it’s my turn to pin these awesome posts so I’ve been pinning like a crazy woman! 🙂
Have a great week and stay cool!
You are so welcome! I’m going to try to stay up to date on Pinterest Party- my Pinterest game is lacking!!!
