Cuddle weather

 Hello all!  Miss Emily today.  I'm hoping everyone had a restful few days off!   It is now quite chilly.  Mom had to finally concede to the weather (and her very cold toes)and switch from sandals to socks and shoes.
She had a 3 day weekend.  It made her very thankful!
Mom went for a walk in the park on Saturday morning.
Even though it was overcast she said it was peaceful.   There were lots of birds singing.  Mom said she could even hear water dripping from the leaves.

There are always ducks!
Some houses near the park were already for Halloween!  Our Mom has a tiny pumpkin.  She also rented from the library the Charlie Brown movie about the Great Pumpkin.  (Mom likes the gentler side of Halloween!)
 Snores from Winston!   Mom was able to catch up on the sleep she missed.   Emily and I are very helpful and very wise.   We show her by example.  Humans can be dense, if you ask me!
Mom slept, took long walks, cooked, read a little, binge watched Rick Steve travel videos and even took the occasional nap! 
Guess what?!  Mom also made homemade hot chocolate with coco and almond milk and stuff.  She tweaked

it a bit.   If it didn't take so long to make she would try it more often!
 
Mom says thank you to everyone last week who came by to visit and were sending good thoughts.  She appreciates it!  We also tried to help by allowing her to cuddle (Emily) and sleeping on her toes (Winston)  However, we don't want her to think that we will always exert ourselves to such an extent!

Emily and I like to keep things interesting for Mom.  This photo is just seconds before a heated game of smacky paws.
Purrs to all.  Stay safe.  Stay warm.  Count your feline blessings.

  2. Lots of hugs and purrs to your mom. You're both great to take care of her.

    We're glad she caught up on her sleep. The biped likes that quote about resting versus quitting. Good distinction.

    Maybe your mom can post the hot chocolate recipe, maybe even include the modifications she made? Hot chocolate is wonderful in the cold weather.

    Take care, be well. Peace and Blessings to you all.
