A Friday post in which there are kittens

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/sandwich/

Not to be confused with Kitten Thursday, but pictures of kittens taken at the end of a very long Thursday when all I wanted to do was go to bed!  Just remember – it’s Friday (well it is in my neck of the Earth anyway!)

Only Steve Martin.  Who knew it was a fake arrow?

September 19-Somethin’ Challenge – September 6

The September 6th question is: What did you collect when you were a kid? Do you know what prompted the desire to collect these things?

Ok, confession time.  I collected stuffed animals.  Yes I did.  I had lots of them.  Now?  We collect kitties (but not so many that we can really be called “crazy cat people”…just sayin’…)

Share Your World – 2016 Week 36

And now for this week’s Share Your World (https://ceenphotography.com/2016/09/05/share-your-world-2016-week-36-2/).

If you were given a boat or yacht today, what would you name it?  (You can always sell the yacht later)

Beelzebub.  Or Magical Mr. Mistoffelees.

Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best?  (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) Plus what would the 8th dwarf’s name be? 

Me?  Today?  Grumpy.  The 8th dwarf would be Trouble.

Name a song or two which are included on the soundtrack to your life?

Demolition Man and Don’t Fear the Reaper – More Cowbell!!

Complete this sentence:  I like watching…

A Christmas Story (well, it is September!)

September 19-Somethin’ Challenge – September 5

This is Suzanne’s challenge at https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/september-19-somethin-challenge/ , and according to her “This challenge is prompted by the song 19-Somethin’ by Mark Wills. You can hear the song here: https://youtu.be/UhSCeItgUEc   The following questions are taken from the various lines in the song.  There are also a few random questions thrown into the mix to make it a post a day for the month – 30 posts.”

The September 5th question is:  Today is Labor Day in the United States. How old were you when you got your first job? What was that job? Did you enjoy it?

It’s Labour Day here in Canada – how is it different from the US holiday?  Note the “u”…

As for my first job, I don’t really remember which was first.  I vaguely remember a short-lived retail job at a clothing store, but I think that came after working as an accompanist for students at the Conservatory (something I did for many years).  I also baby-sat, but I was only in it for the cable 🙂

Coincidence

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/cake/

No, I’m not not avoiding.  It’s completely a coincidence that we had cake yesterday to end my dad’s birthday dinner (no, I did NOT make the cake…).

And in addition to cake (and other things for supper), we of course had cheese
