#TuxieTuesday - Nothing But Glamour

KATIE:  Despite what a certain overconfident orange cat may think, there are still a few things he'll never be able to pull off like I can. Sure, he's got the cute thing all locked up. That bewildered look he tosses our way whenever he gets into trouble. 

I prefer more of a quiet sophistication.

KATIE:  Elegance unmatched. Classic beauty from every angle.

KATIE:  Footprints on the kitchen counter, you say?

KATIE:  She'll never suspect ME.

About Today's Photos 
We love black & white photography. In fact we have a whole wall devoted to it in the Townhouse. But we don't seem to feature it all that much on our blog.

It's no secret that black & white loves a tuxedo cat. Today's photos span almost seven years. The first two photos were shot just this past weekend with a camera that only takes black & white photos. Bet you didn't even know there was such a thing! The next photo is a close up of a random shot from 2012. Katie was just hanging out in the fireplace room looking out towards the back window. And the last photo was from back in 2008. (gasp!) It's a rare on since Glogirly doesn't often show her real face here on the blog. We're guessing needs probably that soft focus way more now than she did back then.

So, "where's Waffles?" you ask. That's what Waffles Wednesday is for. Today it's nothing but glamour.

As Moody As Black & White

Private Convo

WAFFLES:  Oh my COD, Boss! Where's my orange furs??? Did you turn off the color? Who turned off the color??? 

KATIE:  Calm down, Waffles. Your orange furs haven't gone anywhere. (...though that IS an interesting idea.) 

WAFFLES:  But, but... you're all black & white!

KATIE:  Yeah? Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm ALWAYS black & white. What with the whole tuxedo cat thing and all.

WAFFLES:  Tuxedo? No one told me I had to dress up.

Katie's Look

KATIE:  Waffles, just try and look sophisticated, glamorous. ...wait, who am I fooling. Just try and keep your mouth closed and your paws to yourself. Hopefully the camera will take care of the rest. 

Waffles' Peek

WAFFLES:  Ok, Boss. How's this? My mouth is closed. Just like you told me.

Katie Supermodel

KATIE:  Not bad, Waffles. Pretty good posture.You're no supermodel, but that'll do. How about something a little more moody?

WAFFLES:  You mean moody like YOU-moody when I eat your food and smell your –

Black & White Is Here To Stay

Hi everyone, Katie here.

A certain ghetto kitteh mentioned to me yesterday that she thought my blog was slipping through my paws into the tight grasp of a teenager kitten who shall remain nameless. (Think breakfast food.) 

Even those Two French Bulldogs have been asking when we'll switch from pink to orange. 

Well black & white is here to stay, baby.  Just sayin'.

Waffles, you might be cute, but you'll never be able to wear my classic colors. On you they're just...so...grey. 

So stay out of my closet already.

We're part of the Black & White Sunday BlogHop.

Kitty Love For Our US Marines ♥

Katie, "Is He Home Yet?"

Hi everyone, Katie here.

It's Memorial Day weekend here in the US. The actual holiday is observed tomorrow, but all over the United States, our thoughts turn to three-day-weekends, barbecues and wand toys. ...ok, we were already thinking of wand toys long ago. We also remember those that have served and continue to serve our country. Those that through their actions, commitment and loyalty, preserve and protect our freedom. A freedom that's so intangible, we almost forget about it.

Looking Up To My US Marine

Here at the Townhouse, our thoughts turn to two very special veterans. Each served their country as a US Marine.

And although they served decades apart, their strength of character and selfless compassion makes them brothers.

Glogirly's dad served in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. He fought on the islands of Saipan, Tinian and eventually Iwo Jima. He didn't talk much about what he saw, what had to be done. But he was proud. He was a man of true character. Strong. He was also a man of compassion. He was, and will always be, Glogirly's hero.

Gabe, Glogirly's stepson, recently returned home from his four year tour of duty in the US Marines. Gabe's dedication and commitment are something we are all so very proud of.

When he graduated from Basic Training, at the same Marine Corp Recruit Depot in San Diego that Glogirly's dad trained at some 70 years ago, he told Glogirly how much he admired the men like her dad. He said they were the real deal, the true heros. That brought a tear or two to her eyes. And an admiration for Gabe that will never falter. Semper Fi.

Kisses for my US Marine

Oh, and did we mention he loves cats?

Black & White Sunday

We're participating in the Black & White Sunday Blog Hop hosted by My Life In Blog Years.

As Simple As Black & White

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Gloman brought home another new baby. Camera.

This one ONLY takes black and white photos. Some people think he's crazy. But it makes total sense to me. I mean, what other colors really matter?

Gloman says the camera doesn't *see* any color. Hmmmmm. No orange you say??? I'm liking where this is going.

Saturday Photohunt *Monochrome*
