Excuses, Excuses...

 Yup...we keep hearing all kinds of excuses. Phooey!

So our selfies reflect our opinions about them all, BOL!

Between a lot of chores, errands and work, (this weekend too),...petcretary didn't take any new pics of us...so the selfies you see here later, are a few weeks old...but new to the blog...well, that must be why she takes a million-zillion pics when she does get her  camera out. BOL!

On the 25th, we got locked into the dining room, and then we had very NOISY intruders...they worked outside and stomped inside a few times, too, to invade the cellar. They stole our old half dead generator of nearly 25 years of age, and even stole the concrete slab it was on! Thankfully then they lugged a nice new slab in its place and put a way bigger brand new generator on it. Then the real noise began, as they had to redo the gas and electric service to it and into our house. Anyways, that took about 5 1/2 hours...sheesh!

We hope those noisy guys stay away!

We had terrible storms here on the evening/night of the 24th...there were 7 tornadoes in our state, the worst being in the Detroit area, and there were some north of where we live, too. We only had bad wind and lots of rain, for which we are thankful. There was lots of property loss, and several people were injured and there were a few deaths, too, sadly. From hydroplaning on the highway, and trees falling down. Plenty of power outages as well, from all the downed trees...We are thankful we were spared all of that...and that the old generator didn't have to do  a last minute job for us. Our thoughts are with those who have suffered loss and grief.

Ok, here are our selfies with raspberries!



Petcretary wasn't too quick into the classroom at Teddy's Tuesday Teaser, but she was quick at finding the location of the Teaser Picture...so she got this badge.


We're hopping along with all the other Sunday Selfies. Thanks for hosting, Kitties Blue!

  6. You two oughtta show us what you think more often!!! You sure did it well. Thank goodness you have a new generator, Mom has thought how much she wishes we had one but the noise level when it ran would not be acceptable to the neighbors- she is purty sure. Good that the tornadoes didn't harm you but it is always so hard to see or know how others fare when it beings sadness. Have a great Sunday, all four of you. You two and your parents.

  8. You guys even make raspberries look adorable. Sorry all the noise associated with replacing the old generator was so
    troublesome but just think how great it will be when you need it and it works great. 😊

  12. you are sooo lucky to have a generator!!!!! Living in an apartment/condo complex I don't think we can have them. Weren't those storms just unreal?????!! Do you believe Lenny and Levi slept through the first night of storms? I was up with Roary........that first night the storm lasted 3 hrs straight! Thankfully none of the tornadoes were too close to us but the wind etc was unreal, just like it was for you. Glad that is over!

  16. Sorry to hear about the storms in your area. I hope that's the last of them.
    Glad you got a new generator. We just got a new one too. It was a bit pricey, but it's worth it not to have to worry about losing power in the next big storm.

  17. Those are fun selfies you two! Hey, hooray for a new generator, once you have one you don't want to ever be without one again. I'm so glad the evil storms didn't mess with you.

  20. Nice selfies even though you both didn’t quite approve. :) Those storms were bad. We actually were part of the tornado warning but fortunately the tornado went a little south of us. Many people lost power…thank cod we didn’t.
