Real Cat Webster has suddenly decided to take the week off (i.e., he had a word all picked out, but old SoLT had too much work to do to help him with it). He will return
next week with Words with Webster.
That means we have just one fun Friday feature for
you, Friendly Fill-Ins from 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader. They are a fun way to learn a little bit about the authors of
the blogs you read. The first two questions, answered by Real Cat Paisley this
week, are from Ellen of 15andmeowing, and the next two, answered by old SoLT,
are from Annie of McGuffy’s Reader.
Real Cat Paisley’s answers:
1. I can't wait to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Someone
always sneaks me a little piece.
2. My favorite kind of pie is—Are you kidding? I don’t care
for pie. Webster, on the other paw, will clean up the crumbs from anything.
That’s probably why I am nice and trim, while he is—not.
Old SoLT’s answers:
3.
This year, I am particularly thankful for getting to see my grandmother a
couple weeks ago. It was a good visit, and I’m so glad I could make time to go.
4. A
funny holiday tradition in my/our house is—Gee, I can’t think of anything funny that we do. Maybe we should start something!

| Old SoLT (L) with her grandma and mom. They took this selfie outside the building that used to be a school that old SoLT's great-grandfather attended. It was in the early 20th century when he was in this school one day and they all heard a strange noise outside. They went out to see what it was, and coming down the road was the very first car they ever saw. |

What a great story about that car! We forget sometimes just how fast inventions can take over our world. The Hubby's grandfather's job was making buggy wheels, until the automobile began showing up, so he changed to car mechanic.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, we had a bunch of leftover turkey and Bear refused to eat it. I tried several times because I just couldn't believe that he'd really turn his nose up to turkey. "Real" turkey? Nope. If it comes processed in a can smothered in gravy?! He's all over it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun visit! Having 3 generations in one photo is pretty special.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for participating, great answers. How blessed you are too still gave your grandmother, thank you for sharing these wonderful photos. I hope you do get some turkey Paisley. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a good thing that you get some turkey. The real treat is the visit with Mom and Grandma! There is a strong family resemblance. Grandma is a real cutie, too! That is such a special visit. Thank you for sharing these pictures.
ReplyDeleteOld SoLT looks a lot like her Mom! Actually, they both look like Grandma too. That was your Mom that was with you at BlogPaws, right? I didn't notice the resemblance so much then.
