Jolly Kitty


We got Jolly when she was sort of a teen-ager.
She wasn't full grown, and she wasn't a kitten.


She hadn't even grown into her ears yet.
*Thor* said we could get another inside cat.
She was a birthday present to Olivia.


Lydia spent the most time with her though.


Jolly said and did lots of silly things,
but she was always sorry.


She never has figured out what we did with the old kitchen....


She was a very big part of our lives since she was 
an inside cat.


She really didn't hate other cats...
she just didn't want them on her windowsill.
So she chewed at their ears.


She liked to play games.


Climb high places....
and not come down.


She was always looking outside.
She wanted to catch a bird.
Climb a tree.
Run around the back yard.



So we put her outside, and then she wanted back in.
I told her she made her decision and couldn't change her mind.


Most of the time she was OK with that.
Sometimes she wasn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you have a pet.....
you never know.....
when it will be...
the last time....
you see them.

We haven't seen Jolly for almost two weeks.
I don't think she is coming back.
It hurts to lose a pet.


We will never know for sure what happened to Jolly.
She is just gone.

So sorry to hear that Jolly is missing. But I do remember after we had given up hope, over two weeks, on Rhett, coming home. I was outside one morning and didn't hear a thing and before I knew it something was licking on my hand, It was Rhett. So, maybe just maybe, Jolly will come home. Hope so. grandma

We recently lost our female dog. She got out during a rainstorm and was hit and killed. As with most likely everyone, I understand and pray you are comforted in knowing that His creature was such a delight in your lives even for such a small bit of time!

I am sorry your kitty has been gone for two weeks. Pets are dear to our hearts, for sure.

She could still turn up.....but I doubt she does.

It is not uncommon for a cat to disappear for a few weeks and then come home with scratches and an ear bitten from a wonderful time roaming the wild. I pray the best for her.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
