That little white kitten is the cutest thing ever! If she was asleep on my foot, I'd never move again. LOL! Yay for the lovely princess costume your grandmother made. Sorry to hear about your fall and your son's broken leg. At least nothing worse happened. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh, that tiny baby...
ReplyDeleteyes, that was a scary halloween...
Aww, that's adorable. Simply adorable. Smart kitty too.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday and an even better weekend. ☺
Look at that cute little puff of kitty cotton ball at your feet. I love it! Hope you're doing well, mimi. Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat kitten is adorable! My cat is nearly 2 years old so she isn't that little anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf a kitten this cute fell asleep on my foot I'd be tempted to stand there all day.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute kitten. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins. That is a very scary story, I am sorry your son got injured.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I like chocolate, but I like my chocolate to be toned down. I can handle some dark chocolate, but can't handle the really dark stuff. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute little kitty. :) Looking at that picture makes my toes tickle. haha
ReplyDeleteFlip Wilson was great. Our kids loved him, too.
Oh your poor baby! Poor you, too! I know you must have been so upset. Did his leg heal fine?
Ooooh I love apple butter, especially the kind that my Granny Gunter made. The store bought kind has nothing over hers. Hers was the best!
Have a blessed weekend!
Such a precious costume memory! I bet you indeed felt like a true princess that night! Most definitely a scary Halloween memory, could have been so much worse! Your dark chocolate sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGood answers, Mimi. As always. I love that baby on your foot! HUGS!
