Jelly Bean Toes & the Meaning of Life

WAFFLES:  Everyone says pink ones are the best. Did you know pink ones are the best, Boss?

KATIE:  I'm busy, Waffles. Either explain yourself, or leave me to my nap. 

On second thought, let's just go with the nap option.

WAFFLES:  When Glogirly buys candy at the store, she always brings home the pink ones. And when Gloman is eating his Starbursts, he takes all the pink ones and gives the yellow and green ones to Glogirly. So that pretty much proves pink is the best.

KATIE:  Have you ever heard of licorice, Waffles? Glogirly happens to love black licorice flavored anything. In fact, Good & Plenty's are her favorites. Some of them are pink on the outside, but the yummy black licorice part is on the inside. 

WAFFLES:  So they're pink. 

KATIE:  On the outside. As in all things, it's what's on the inside that's important. 

WAFFLES:  But they're pink. 

WAFFLES:  You've got a lot to learn about life, Waffles. And jelly beans.

About Today's Photos

Today's pics caught both Katie and Waffles showing off their jelly bean toes in the midst of their post-breakfast naps. Lucky for them, Glogirly's favorite jelly bean flavors are pink cotton candy and black licorice. Though when Gloman is here, she seems to get stuck with the lemon and lime ones. 

But when it comes to kitty toes, she loves them ALL.  

WAFFLES:  Especially the pink ones.

Happy Cat Daddy's Day from Afar - And a Special Remembrance

WAFFLES:  Us men have to stick together. 

You know, to do man-stuff like online shopping for, well... man-stuff.

KATIE:  Yeah, well don't blow your allowance all at once, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  Allowance? What do you mean, allowance? You get an allowance, Boss?

KATIE:  What do you think, Gloman? Should I tell him I get an allowance or not?

WAFFLES:  So, Gloman? Does the Boss really get an allowance?  Because I'd really like to have an allowance too. Does KFC take allowances? For chicken and gravy and stuff? 

KATIE:  What's that, Gloman? I couldn't agree more. The less he knows the better.

WAFFLES:  The less I what???

Happy Cat Daddy's Day

Today's photos are some of our past favorites of Gloman with his favorite kitties. Although he couldn't be with us to officially celebrate Fathers Day, he's going to be here very soon. Everyone, including Glogirly, will be getting in their snuggle time with our favorite Cat Daddy.

For all of you lucky cats with Cat Daddies in your life, we hope you enjoyed a wonderful Father's Day. And to all those Cat Daddies out there - thank you so much for sharing your hearts and homes with your furry family members.

A Special Day of Remembrance for Glogirly

31 years ago today, a very special woman left our family and this world. Despite all these years, it still can feel so fresh. It heavies my heart to think of all the milestones she's missed. And all the everyday, ordinary moments that make a life.

I can't believe I've lived more years without my mom than with her. But I am truly blessed with so wonderful memories that still live strong in my heart. And I will always be my mother's daughter. Forever.

And to my Dad...I'll never forget that Father's Day just three days after we lost mom. You'd lost your best friend, the love of your life, but your main concern was me. It was the beginning of our new normal and what would become for me, one of the most important and closest relationships of my life. You continue to influence me every single day. And I will always be your little girl.

Waffles in the Go-Bag

WAFFLES:  If I fits I sits. And I fits PURR-fectly in this one.

KATIE:  You may fits, Waffles. But you're sitting on the kitchen counter. Again.

WAFFLES:  Technically, Boss, I'm not really touching the counter. 

KATIE:  Technically, Waffles, I think you're pushing it.

WAFFLES:  I'm not pushing, Boss. I told you, If I fits I sits. 

About Today's Photos

It's wildfire season in the mountains and Glogirly is finally getting around to making emergency plans and preparations in case the unthinkable ever happens. Part of this includes having a Go-Bag packed and ready to go. 

Apparently Waffles is ready to go in Glogirly's new emergency backpack. 

We plan on sharing what we're packing and how we're preparing in a future blog post. These kinds of plans are so very important, no matter where you live. And they're plans we pray we never need to use.
