Innocent Eyes

I found him/her while me and my wife were taking a walk around our area. He/she wasn't alone, there was at least one more kitten, but too scared to come out from the place where they were living, an abandoned or non-functional car. I didn't have my regular camera, but my wife's camera, a tiny Olympus FE, so the quality of the picture isn't a great one...

Cats Leave Paw Prints on Our Hearts

A mixture of several pictures, including the ones that some of you already know: Alley, Boots and Miss Kitty!

Today's joke:

Two informally dressed ladies happened to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the LAX airport. The first lady was an arrogant California woman married to a wealthy man. The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the California woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz..
Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet.
Yet again, the Southern lady commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Southern lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh, my God! What on earth for?"
The Southern lady responded, "Well for example, instead of saying "Who gives a shit?" I learned to say, "Well, isn't that precious?"

Young & Innocent

I've been visiting some relatives today, and one of my nieces was playing with her brand new friends, two kittens, and one of 'em is right here!

Today's joke:

Granddad was reminiscing about the good old days...

"When I were a lad, Momma would send me down to t'corner store wi' a dollar, and I'd come back wi' five pounds o' potatoes, two loaves o' bread, three pints o' milk, a pound o' cheese, a packet o' tea, an' 'alf a dozen eggs. Yer can't do that now. Too many damm security cameras."
