Finally Friday

It has seemed like a long week, hasn't it? We are hopeful that things will stabilize in Japan and that the worrying news will decline. Mom is a bit mad the way the news media drum up the fears in people about things like radiation and "nucular" things. However we know that doesn't change the reality for so many in Japan, who have a very long road ahead. We hope they can get supplies and electricity to everybody as soon as possible and that there are no further major earthquakes there.

My Dad has been helping out the Mom with some Spring Cleaning and doing windows and storm doors. This photo is from earlier, during the winter, but today I will be watching him again through it. We are expecting company overnight tomorrow, always a good motivator for a good cleaning around here! Outsiders who I don't know yet tend to make me nervous, but I understand they are cat people, so hopefully we will become friends quickly. I will report back after they leave and let you know.

  1. If they bring you treats or presents, I think you can be friends with them.

  2. Well, we think they SHOULD bring you treats and presents -- it's only polite! We hope you all have a great weekend, Simba.

  3. If they are cat people they will probably want to make friends with you. Make sure they bribe you with lots of treats.

  4. Spring cleaning ~ it's always a good feeling getting it done isn't it? And having company is always a good motivator indeed! :)

  7. #1 has been heard to say that if people didn't come over for meals or overnights, the house might never get cleaned...

    Wishing you a weekend filled with sunpuddles, Simba!

  10. Strangers and those who know you could not help loving you, Simba. BUT you have to check them out regardless. Hey, you're doing what I do..perched in front of the full view storm door.

    We wish that the media wouldn't stir up the pot over scary stuff too, like all those people buying pills for radiation and things like that.It really makes people nervous. We are glad it's Friday too hope you have a great weekend.

  18. our hearts are breaking for the people/animals of Japan. We really don't think the news people are exaggerating....in some ways we think they are keeping info from us.....they don't want a panic

  19. We are hoping for some good news from Japan too. Mommy thinks the workers in the power plants are heroes.
    Enjoy the company--let's hope they bring lots of kitty snax for you!
