It has been awhile trying to copy the blogs
from spaces that I wanted to keep. I finally
got'er done and now I can relax. I don't know
if I'll do the WordPress or not. It's just so
alien right now. I picked the theme I wanted
but it doesn't show and I don't actually see
a blog page, not shocked at all. Maybe I'll
figure it out, not sure. Spaces can now close
mine if they want, couldn't care less.
Some of these copies will go to "Mom And Me,
Kassey".That'll be a job, trying not to duplicate.

Stormy
The storm radio made a loud noice and this 'human' said we may have a tornado heading our way, so she cleaned out the closet again, not everything, just enough space for her laptop, her and yours truly. Our weather has been so iffy, she said she'd leave it out for now. After the storm passed we sat on the couch together while she was on her laptop. She didn't have to ask me twice. It was soooo nice sitting there with her and besides , I was kind of afraid. With the sky making all those loud noices and flashing pretty colors, I wanted to be close to her. The closet was still waiting for us, but we were spared again.
Sunday morning, when she wasn't looking , I slipped into her bedroom closet. She checked to see if I was in the closet but I was well hidden and quite. She closed the door ,took her purse and headed for the front door. I wasn't eating as usual, before leaving me alone. She called me and so she checked the closet and I got out of that dark closet, not wanting to stay there while she was gone. Sometimes she goes shopping after church and I would have been one hot cat with no essentials.
She and my Aunt J are going on a trip today to her son's for a wedding. She'll be dressing in her Sunday clothes again.......open bedroom closet again......yes, I'm smiling . She'll be sure this time that I'm not left in it 'cause, I'll be left alone overnight and probably won't see her until tomorrow night. I'll be ok as long as we don't have any bad storms. You know , God watches over kitties too and He protected us yet again. Blessings Always To My Friends, Kassey
My fellow feline friends, my human has been changing things again. I watched her as she unloaded
her bathroom closet and filled up mine. She said she was utilizing more space, whatever that means.
Mine did have more room than hers, before now. But being a cat, I don't understand why she does this.
She's always moving things around and this bothers me. I followed after her while she was carrying these
things to my closet. She told me she knew I didn't understand why she was doing. Now really, does she think I'm just a dumb little cat? I could see what she was doing and I didn't like it. There's one shelf with nothing on it.....no telling what'll be put there.
I'm seeing a lot of birds now and it's really exciting. We still don't have a bird feeder yet, but she said she just might sprinkle some seeds on the ground. She also told me there are rabbits here , but I've been napping, too much i guess.
It was real stormy last night and the storm radio went off again. It's kind of scary to be asleep when this happens. She got up and turned it off and went back to bed. God spared us once again. He sure is good to us and deserves all the credit. Until next time, my feline friends.....Blessings Always, Kassey

I Tried Sleeping In Her Room....Kassey
I have been a very patient cat but until she inflates a bigger bed, I will not
even try to sleep with her. Yesterday, she re-arranged my bedroom and it
looks good. So to show my appreciation, last night I tried two times to get
comfortable on her little bed. I got up and came back. Well, it's the same old
thing with her moving about. I just could not take it, so I left and never re-
turned until morning, pawing at her precious blinds. She really hates that and
said, "get outta here, I'm not ready to get up." She got up about an hour later.
She said the filter man was coming today and then she and my Aunt Jeanne
were going to town.....so I'll be alone on this cloudy day catching some zzzzz's.
Love And Blessings, Kassey

Talking about New Bed For Me....Kassey
Yippee !! She is so happy this morning. She saw me sleeping in my new bed
and she didn't know I was there until she woke this nice rainy morning. She had
to get up early coz she and my Aunt J were gonna have a yard sale. And this
would have been fun for me coz I would see a lot of people. We went back to
bed and slept in for awhile. It was so nice sleeping on her bed and I'm sure she
will take a picture when she catches me taking a nap.

Usually when their yardsale is rained out, they have it later, but it's ok coz I'll
have fun too.....Kassey
have fun too.....Kassey
New Bed For Me....Kassey
She always thinks our sleeping arrangements will get better.
She always thinks our sleeping arrangements will get better.
Ok, maybe when I decide it's better. You see,she bought me a nice bed.
But I'm not sure if I want to sleep in it. In the first place, it looks like a
dog's bed ! And if I sleep in it, I can't sleep touching her. Now I ask you
feline friends, would you even consider sleeping in this bed? Last night I
hid from her, but finally came into the bedroom....turned around and went
back to the living-room. Well, this should tell her something. Oh my, what's
a cat to do?
September 21
JUST THINKING ....KASSEY
We like the rain, but hoping for a dry weekend for the community
yardsale. She usually doesn't participate, but helps my Aunt J. This is
a community thing which is more fun for me as so many people are buy-
ing things they 'can't live without'.
I enjoy watching people as humans do. And they can be funny or puz-
zling to a cat. When 'she's' busy, I 'meow' to get her attention, coz I want
an explaination sometimes. And sometimes I just want her to stop what she's
doing and pet me. Well, I am her best friend and she's the center of my world.
Sometimes I just look at her for awhile and she says, 'What's on your mind?" I
love doing this....funny humans...lol
I am enjoying my new bed coz I'm sleeping on her bed without disturbance.
She did move it closer to her but I noticed so she put it back....silly human. I also
enjoy walking across her to get to my bed. Why should I have to go to the end of
the bed to jump up? When I leave the window it's just more fun to jump on her night-
table and walk right beside her and across her to get to my bed. Humans just need
to understand that this is how it is.
I must go now and nap a little on this rainy day. It has stopped for awhile but
still cloudy and cooler.
Blessings Always, Kassey
September 25
Moved To Her Bathroom.....Kassey
Yesterday the bug spray man came and he sprayed more than he usually
does. She showed him the big spider in the bathtub in my room, so due to the spray I had
to use her bathroom. She knew that I wondered why my box was moved to her
bathroom. Naturally I went to mine but the door was closed. She told me after the spray
dries she'll move my box back to my bathroom.
Today it was stormy and I was on the recliner near the window. She said I should not
be by the window while it was lightening. So I hopped down and went to my new bed for a
nap. When I got up, she had moved my box back to my bathroom. Maybe she won't be moving
things around for awhile. Well, a cat can hope, I guess.
Blessings Always, Kassey

Rain Is Finally Gone...Kassey
I love the rain, but how wonderful to finally see the sun!! I needed the warmth
today, so I found some sunshine in my bedroom window. She missed me so
she looked in on me and placed my pillow on the organizer by the windowsill.
Oh, It felt really good and I also got to see the humans who are making a lot
of noise here. They use this noisy thing to fix the sidewalks here that cracked.
It is gonna be cool tonight, she said and I know she'd want me sleeping with her.
I hope you all stay warm tonight. We are so blessed, aren't we? So, we furry friends
should keep our humans warm.
Blessings Always, Kassey

Wednesday Rant...Cracked Concrete Fixed Finally
So nice today ! It was a cold night for us too. My fur baby was cold
too as she looked up at me meowing. It was so cold on the floor, so
I turned it up . She curled up on the back of the recliner so she could
feel the warmth. And she saw the finishing touches on our fixed walk
in front.
I do not understand why these hired contractors don't do it right the
first time....yeah 'mo money'...lol Monday they pored a grey liquid, may-
be a little cement mixed in and with a big thing with a roller, went over
it but the crack was still there. Yesterday, here came the big machine
with the clawed scoop and dug up the cracked concrete. So, today, the
concrete was poured and someone smoothed it out. Well, I guess he didn't
do it right, so another one came along and re-did the smoothing....LOL
Nuff said on this subject, except , maybe I just don't get it.
Blessings Always, GGB

New HP Laptop
I've been somewhat disappointed with my SONY laptop. I have a SONY
desktop that is still good and its 5yrs. old. I decided to upgrade my monitor
so I gave the monitor to Andy. He'll get the whole thing anyhow when I die.
I have a TV monitor (bigger) that I want to add to the Sony desktop. It has
been a good TV, but I don't use it....just watch the monster in the living-room.
Today I went to Staples and bought an HP laptop and I'll get a free upgrade
to Windows 7. Well, I sure hope it has better performance than Vista, which I
hate. I wonder if it's the reason for so many crashes on my SONY. Of course,
maybe I just got a LEMON at BEST BUY.
I bought the USB stick from Tmobile and I'm really happy with it. I'm allowed
5 GB and I've only used lest than 3GB since Sept.4. I can also use it on the HP.
I hope everyone has a blessed and peaceful night and a Good Lord's Day tomorrow.
Goodnight and sleep well, GGB
October 05
Special Company ....Casper
Last night, Andy brought his grandson , Casper by. He's
doing well and just had his first birthday. His big sister , Jade
had to go to the ER with a high fever. She does have flu-like
symtoms, but she seems to be ok. With the flu season, you
just have to watch them closely and hope and pray it's not
the dreaded swine flu.
Kassey kept her distance as he was toddling around.
I took some pics and will add them to the photos later.
Kassey gave up and went to bed in her room and I'll
be turning in soon. I hope everyone rests well tonight.
Blessings Always, GGB

HP PC Arrival...etc
My new HP laptop is now at home and it's behaving rather well.
As soon I can, I plan to get the free 'Windows 7" that was another selling point.
I may have already mentioned this. Every PC is so different, but I think this one
and I will be friends. lol... I hope. I never liked Norton, but I have it free for 60 days.
I don't know if I'll continue with it or not.
Kassey has ignored this new toy, but the day isn't over. lol She's napping
today in front of the window, looking for the sun. But, it's cloudy and like so many
of us, we're supposed to have big weather changes. Of course, I'm wishing for snow,
as usual coz we seldom get anything more than a dusting.
Blessings Always, GGB
October 31
Catching Yall Up....KASSEY
Well, things are settling down some now, it seems. I'm finally getting used to 'my' recliner
being in a new spot. I now just curl up in the seat. And I don't dare get on the back of it like
I used to. It just looks funny. She protects the furniture with sheets and one of her tops is
draped over it and it's a different color. Even though I prefer things to stay the same, she
keeps re-arranging the furniture.
At least I didn't have to move to her bathroon when the 'bug man' came. She just closed
my door with my pan close to the door. She had just gotten home from the Honda place and
was surprized by the 'bug man'.
We've been having some nice rain lately and yesterday, our storm radio came on with alerts.
We were blessed again and didn't have to go into our closet. I don't like that closet cuz I need
plenty of space. I remember the last time, it was hot weather..too hot to be cooped up in a closet.
On a sad note here.. Betsy, our neighbor, lost her son. I like Betsy and she asks my human about me
when they meet outside and talk and she visits too. I love company as yall know.
On a happy note...Andy has a new Grand-Daughter and her pix will be posted soon we hope. Of course,
I'm anxious to see her too.....from a safe distance.
Until next time, God's Blessings To Everyone....... Kassey

AMY ROSE....BACK HOME
Thank you all for your prayers for Amy Rose. She was x-rayed with blood work and seems to be OK.
She got strangled on her formula when it was upchucked and could not get her breathe. So she was rush-
ed by ambulance to the ER. They live about 12 miles from the hopital. While in the hospital, she sat in her
carseat because they were concerned that she could have GURD. The other concern is that there was
blood in her stool probably caused by a tear from a hard stool. This is about all I know, except that her
Mother is very busy. She said she'd had about 6 hrs. sleep since Amy was born.
I hope to have some pix when Andy brings them for download. I'm so blessed with friends like you who
believe in the power of prayer.
Blessings Always, GGB

LEARNING TO SHARE...etc....KASSEY
I can't believe I actually shared 'my' recliner with her last night.
She had a tiring day doing her usual thing. Maybe she'll get everything
like she wants it, one day. She said I had to use the couch, so she could
use the recliner while she watched the baseball game and be online too.
She thought I had gone to the bedroom, so she called me. In the dim light,
she saw me on the couch, in an alert position, of course. Well, she had called
my name...lol She then told me I could come and sit with her. I did just that.
I curled up beside her. Now this was a first for us, cuz I won't even sit in her lap.
Andy moved the desktop back in the bedroom and that's where we are now.
We can see more goings-on in here. And she got that corner by the TV uncluttered.
We have plenty of room with the twin bed, which needs to be replaced. Just recently,
she turned over too far and was nearly dumped in the floor. She does amuse me.... lol
Until next time....you furry friends keep laughing at your humans.
Blessing Always, Kassey

Kassey's Wednesday Rant..MAD CAT
Monday, 'she' took me to the vet, cuz I was scratching so. I never go out so we don't know
how it happened but I had those sorry fleas. And it was almost time for my rabies shot, which
is so rediculus for an 'inside cat'.
I was ok while being weighed... no harm in that. Well, somebody picked me up and put me
on the table. Before I knew what was happening, she held me like my mama did. And then I felt
something sticking me. As if that wasn't enough, someone stuck me again. I jumped up, scared
everybody, including my human. I lost some hair too on that table. The needle human dropped the
needle and grabbed the vet. These humans had a good laugh at my expense. While one human had
a good grip, she stuck me good and I was so growling mad. After the shots, the human holding me,
said " Go" to the needle human. She put this liquid stuff on the back of my neck. Finally, I was put
back in my carrier and we went home. It took a loooong time, it seems for the allergy shot and liquid
to go to work.
Today, Wednesday, so far is a peaceful day , with no more fleas. She bought me a new flea color
to use after the Frontline expires. And we have flea powder to sprinkle on the carpet. I'm sure I'll be
in a closed room while she does this, so I can't walk in it. I'm happy now and I hope you all are ok.
Blessings Always Everyone, Kassey

Our Thanksgiving...... Kassey
Thanksgiving was a glorious day when her TN son and family came. He brought
her birthday gifts and a small fiber optic Christmas tree and small battery-operated snowman.
She now has them on top of her new printer where I enjoy sitting. So, I'm not impressed with
these things. I want her to look at me instead of her gifts.
It was a good visit as always and I actually enjoy the children's visit except when they want to pet
me. I tolerate it for awhile and warn them with my ear signals which Mom watches for.
They got their usual waffles and sausage for breakfast. After breakfast, she and Kellen went to
K mart to make the Black Friday toy sale. So Kellen helped her get his and Devon's star wars toys. She said
they got the last two and this sure made her happy.
She then cooked supper, cooking Son's favorite green beans, boiled potatoes in the jacket and chicken with noodles. They then visited Son # 1, because they couldn't stay for the family Thanksgiving
dinner at his house on Saturday.
On Saturday, they headed back to TN, planning to trim the tree. God-willing, they'll be back Christ-
mas. We can hardly wait, although, I don't understand this Christmas stuff. Oh well, I'm just a cat.
Blessings Always, Kassey
December 28
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE !
We were blessed with another Christmas with our family intact. Who could ask for anything more?
Kassey finally came into the living-room to check things out. The little ones sure wanted to touch her, but she
escaped their grasp.
It was a cold night and is still cold today, in the 30's with sunshine. Of course, I'm still
waiting for snow while some folks are getting too much. I hope all you folks who are shoveling snow,
will be safe.
In the pictures I posted already, you'll see Amy Rose in her Mother's arms and with Grand-
Daddy Andy. She seems to be doing well on her rice formula. Amy Rose reminds me of so many blessings.
Her Dad is Brian who drowned as a teen, but was rescued by paramedics , swimming at the same place. I
mentioned this in a much earlier blog, probably under bamacatlover's space , so I'll not re-iterate the incident.
I wish for everyone a blessed New Year, GGB

Soul Food Kind Of Day
Soul food is on the stove....big white lima beans, turnip greens and oven-baked cornbread.
Yesterday I pigged out on a big T-bone steak, so I'm being good today. A cloudy day calls for
this kind of meal. They claim we'll get rain, sure to be a cold one. Hometown reported sleet today
and it seems that they get more snow than we do since I moved here....lol I'm happy to live here
though because a part of my family lives here and I would not have Kassey in my life.
I have to bundle up good and take the garbage to the dump and check my mailbox. Before
the rain, I've got to get Kassey's litter from the car too. 'Nuff rambling....gotta get busy making corn-
bread too.....can't wait for this.
Blessings Always, GGB

Very Grateful For Small Snowfall
For once I'm grateful we didn't get much snow this time.
Something very important came up so I had to make a short trip.
It's so amazing to me how God supplies our needs and sometimes
withholds the things we want, even such a small thing like snow.
We seldom get snow so I was hoping for a good one this time.
If we had, the streets would have been a mess and I wouldn't
have been available for my son. I sometimes forget how diffi-
cult it can be for those who have to be out in it. Here, we really
aren't prepared like a lot of states. In neighboring towns, there
were a lot of streets closed because of icing.
The temps have really been low and my water has been running
to prevent frozen pipes. The cabinet doors are still open for
the heat to circulate. Kassey has always enjoyed opening the
cabinet doors and I wonder what she's thinking...lol The last
weather report I heard was that the temp tonight would be
about 9F. Well, maybe so, maybe not. They miss it so much.
This AM it was 12F, so who knows.
Kassey keeps asking for the door to be opened, so I open it
for her. Then she walks away. I guess it's just cabin fever.
Stay warm or cool wherever you are.
Blessings Always, GGB

Software Update For Big TV?
Yesterday morning, I had the TV on. There was a message on the screen that it
was updating it's software and the TV would be going off and back on. This TV has
no cable box. I disconnected from the cable several months ago. It seems spooky to
me, although there may be info in the booklet, which I haven't read. I guess I will now.
It's always better late than never. I just wondered if anyone knows anything about this.
What is this Techy world coming to? Anyone's guess, I suppose and I'm Techy
lacking...lol

She's At It Again....Spring Cleaning ....Good Bed.....Kassey
It's not Spring yet, but she just can't wait. She found the good bed she was looking for.
After she used it for awhile and I saw that it was safe, I slept on it in the wee hours this morning. I woke
from my nap on the back of the couch and I was hungry. I did my usual thing that she dislikes, pawing
at the blinds. Of course, she said ,"Ok Kassey". So I led her to the kitchen to my bowl she left empty.
She was still sleepy and said she was going back to bed. She was still awake when I got to the bed-
room. She told me to jump up on the bed if I wanted to sleep with her, so I slept there until we got
up about 8:30.
The real cold weather has been gone for awhile and it's been rainy, almost like Spring.
Today, she cleaned out our 'Tornado' closet. She thought we may have to use it, but the tornado hit a
neighboring town. I dreaded going into that closet, and I'm sorry others had a bad storm. It's hard on
pets too and I hope none were hurt.....Guess I'll get a nap now.
Blessings Always, Kassey

Still Stumped After Reading
This is under Product Support
To view the current software version and check for software updates, the network must be con-
nected to the TV or a broadcast download must be available (for US customers only). Press the
up/ down arrow key to choose the new version ( if available) and press + to begin the software
update.
The Cable/Antenna cable needs to be connected directly to the TV and have digital TV program-
ming ( not available with the use of a cable box).
The broadcast download is performed while the TV is off.
The software update is performed while the TV is powered on.
Do not turn off the TV during the software update, it may damage the TV software.
I have no DSL internet nor landline telephone service. I only use an Antenna and the reception
is perfect, just as though I had cable. My internet is the Webconnect stick from T-Mobile.
Maybe if anyone of you have a Sony Bravia , you may know more about this. I'm sorry I couldn't shed
any light on this.

Out-Foxed By A Naughty Cat........Kassey
She says I've been naughty but I want what I want 'now'. Yesterday morning,
I tried to get her up for my breakfast. It didn't matter that I had food in
my dish, she'd had enough sleep. I tried to paw at the blinds, but they were
out of my reach. She thought this would stop me, but I jumped on her pillow
and walked across , then jumped down where her clock was plugged in. She
saw me grabbing at the wire. Of course, she told me 'No, Kassey'. I wasn't
really going to catch it in my mouth as I always pretend to do. This always works
because, she said, 'OK, I'm getting up.'
I guess my days and nights are backwards. I slept during the day, so I was
not ready for bed when she was. I kept doing my usual manipulations, but she
said if I didn't stop, she'd make me leave the room. Hah, 'leave the room'! How
could she make me leave the room? I guess she was serious. When she got up, I
thought she's do what I wanted......no, she closed the door behind me. I pawed
the door several times, but she made me sleep somewhere else.
Actually, I think my schedule was changed because she has been getting offline
earlier and going to bed. I hear the laptop close, so I get my midnight snack and
I'm ready to go to the bedroom and get in bed after I sit by the window for awhile.
And to make her happy, I've been sleeping on her bed. We'll see how tonight goes.
Be good kitties and stay out of trouble.
Blessings Always, Kassey

Windy And Cold
It has been rainy and cold and windy. Thursday night I checked
my mail and my umbrella turned inside out. It's my biggest and
favorite so I'm gonna have to turn it back, if possible. Kassey
seemed concerned about it as well. I'll have to add the pics
with the other albums. With this laptop stick, it takes awhile
to add to my blog.
It' 34F here now and going into 20's...who knows maybe a few
snow flakes will fly by on their way somewhere else.
Stay warm or cool everyone wherever you are and have
a Blessed weekend, GGB
