Pets From the Past, Part 2

On January 21, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

Punkin and Heidi How many of us have pictures like this? Cats love to sleep on windowsills. You can see that in the early 1980s, Heidi (above) didn't have shelves nailed up on her windowsills like Foster does today. But when you live in an apartment you just can't go nailing stuff to the windowsills. …

Blessed

"Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out." -Deuteronomy 28:6If you've read my post "A New Door" from last month, you will remember that I didn't know how (or if) my latest brainstorm was going to actually work. Well, I now have an answer for you (in …

Copy That!

On January 13, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

"Panda, do you copy? "Of course I don't copy," Panda responded, sounding a little miffed. "You know Mom taught us to always do our own work, and never copy! It wouldn't be honest!""Oh my word!" I groaned. "That's not what I meant! Do you copy? is police language. It's how they ask if you heard …

A Lot to Think About

On January 10, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda6 Comments

Hi everyone, Foster here, with a post especially for all my furry friends in the "pet blogosphere"! (But if your humans want to read it, that's okay too.) I'm just wondering if I'm the only pet whose human regularly says things that don't make any sense. Here I am on my newest windowsill shelf.  Mom …

Bible Art

On January 10, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

If you enjoy creating art, or if you just like to look through Pinterest, you have probably seen examples of what is popularly called "Bible journaling." It's where people illustrate scriptures in their Bibles, using all different types of media. While I normally want to try every new craft I see, it took a long …

C S Eye

On December 30, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

The eyes are the window to the soul... When I was called for jury duty in October of last year, during the interviewing of the prospective jurors, there was a discussion about something called "CSI". When it was my turn, I was asked if I had understood the questions and answers of the people before me. …

Hidden Cats

On December 28, 2017December 28, 2017 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

Do you remember looking through "hidden picture" books when you were a child?  Well, I've discovered that you can find real-life hidden cats, if you want to take the time to look for them! Sometimes the hidden cat is simply camouflaged in the background, and sometimes he is a little harder to find. Sometimes all …

Christmas Art

On December 21, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

As I was thinking of how I could incorporate more art into my "art-related blog", it occurred to me that, since it's almost Christmas, I should do a post featuring Christmas art. My first thought was to go to my computer and find my own art, but then I started thinking of other types of …

It was going to be called "Debra Kay's Online Finger Puppet Emporium." When I was in my early 20s, I made …

Five Minutes

On December 15, 2017March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

Or, "How long is your attention span?" But perhaps the question should be, "How long is your cat's attention span?" It was 8:28 AM  last Monday when I decided to photograph Foster's "on the mantle" activities.From my vantage point (read: recliner), I grabbed my phone and started snapping pictures every few seconds. Afterwards I was amazed …
