July 3rd – Fireworks, Round 1

I thought this is appropriate because I am sure tonight will be the Eve of the annual fireworks armageddon.

The unofficial Independence Day

Today is the day that the Constitutional Congress voted for independence. The Declaration was dated July 4 so it became the official date. I guess you can say today is pre-independence day. Kitty was there to ensure that a cat clause gets added.

As the weekend comes to a close….

June was a full month preparing for my sketch club’s show, Arts on Terry, Father’s Day, etc and it all ended today.

Today’s kitty and last week’s doodles

Here is today’s kitty and my weekly doodle page that forgot to post yesterday. I was pretty exhausted from this weekend and when I got in yesterday all I wanted to do was veg.

Saturday and Sunday’s kitties

She is all excited about the cats she received in the mail and she wasContinue reading “Saturday and Sunday’s kitties”
