Sunday Selfies with a Guest

80 comments

1. Great selfies. Special love for Lucy, too. And hugs, Mom. I know it is always a void that they leave. But, then along comes another one…like Brody.

   I don’t listen to Sinatra. But, Ella Fitzgerald is a favourite! I do still listen to The Stones, Neil Young, REM, but, also Carly Simon, Carole King, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, James Taylor…yeah, there are many. They fuel my writing.

   Hugs…and peace.

   1. Thank you, I miss Lucy so much even though Brody does keep me distracted. I like all the singers you listed :)XO

2. Lots of things to keep in memory this day. Sending purrs and hugs, too.

   Good that you can still have a few treats each day.

   Love the praying mantis selfie! We see those creatures here too sometimes. They eat bugs so we let them be.
   You have good kitty selfies, too:)

   MIAOW!

   1. Thank you, glad you like out selfies. My hubby couldn’t find the praying mantis today, I wonder where it went?

3. You all look lovely today. Hey we had a praying mantis in the catio a while back. We know we posted him but don’t remember if it was for Sunday Selfies. If not, your guy has the distinction of being the first praying mantis on the hop. So happy that Mom Ellen has loosened up on that silly treat rule. Hop goes live in 10 minutes.

   1. I am lucky to have such good friends to help me win the treat battle 🙂 XO

4. Lucy was beautiful … and look at that floofy tail!!! We’re glad Mom eased up on the treats … treats are what Grammies are for! Gorgeous selfies, kitties 🙂

   1. Thank you, I miss Lucy very much. This was one of her last photos, she looked good all the way to the end. XO

5. How cool that you had a praying mantis guest! They are cool – I hope to eat, I mean, meet one someday!

   1. They have sharp pinchers so be careful if you eat, I mean meet one 🙂

6. Purrs to you on this day, in honor of your dear Lucy. And we are also thinking of all those affected by the tragic events of the 9/11 of 15 years ago.

   Your selfies are all so wonderful! That is one neat guest you have with that praying mantis. I love that it looked right at the camera. It must be a pro at this. And I sure bet you’re all mighty happy that your mom loosened up on that treat rule. Even if she is still cutting back, at least the treats are still flowing! Purrs to all of you!

   1. Thank you, I am lucky you all backed me on the treat problem. Purrs to you too.

7. I said a little prayer in memory of Lucy……I know you miss her very much. We are also thinking about 9/11 – we did two posts today in fact….one for the selfie hop and another about 9/11. We love praying mantis critters and when we see them in our garden we thank them for all they do to keep the pests away!

   Hugs, Sammy

   1. Thank you for saying a prayer for my sweet Lucy. XO

8. Lucy was certainly lovely. And loved. Mom still includes the Crue etc in her play list.

   1. Thank you for your kind words bout Lucy. Your Mom has great taste in music 🙂 XO

9. Purrs as you all remember Lucy. I have never seen a Praying Mantis, so that is an interesting selfie.

   1. This was the first I had ever seen, my hubby woke me from a nap to go see it. XO

10. We all send loving hugs in memory of sweet Lucy. Your selfies are terrific!

    1. Thank you XO

11. Purrs and prayers for lovely Lucy….feeling your loss!

    On a happier note…Enjoyed your guest!

    and that was some picture of NYC (we grew up there and spent our first year in NYC so it is close to our heart).

    Love, Us

    1. Thank you for the purrs and prayers for Lucy. XO and love to you kitties and your Mom.

12. Sending huge kitty hugs to all of you in memory of dearest Lucy. Mommy says Lucy reminds her of her Sparky who was with her for 14 years and left for the Bridge in 1999.
    Feeling lots of losses today.
    Lubs,
    Angel Normie, Angel Mika, Sasha & Grady Lewis

    1. I am sorry about Sparky, we never forget those we love. XO

13. Quite a day to remember, so I send prayers and purrs to you all. Your mantis selfie is quite something, I wonder what they taste like? purrs ERin

    1. I don’t know what they taste like and I don’t want to find out 🙂

    1. Thank you, I took that photo in Brooklyn in 2008. I miss my Lucy. XO

17. That picture of the mantis is so adorable. She really looked at the camera, I think she must earn a living with it. Your Selfies are very cute too, Phoebe, Brody and Sammy and angel Lucy, we remember <3 also 9.11 never forget 🙁

32. Very cute selfies ! My taste hasn’t changed over the years, I still love the oldies of the 60th and 70th and now I also have to listen to the concert which Pookie gives every morning !

    1. I bet Pookie sounds wonderful 🙂

33. I didn’t know Lucy, but she looks like she was a beauty.

    1. Thank you XO

34. The praying mantis are great at posing! They are fun critters to photograph. I took a photo once of one eating a snack. Maybe I’ll remember to post it soon. I love your shot!

    I’m glad that you’re going to get to have treats again. 🙂

    I’m sorry for the sad anniversary. It is never easy to let our babies go.

    Prince and Michael were great! I remember the name Motley Crew, but not Ratt. I remember listening to Michael when I was a kid. My cousin and I were staying with our grand-aunt one summer and choreographed a dance along with another cousin to Michael’s song “Dance and Shout”. It was a blast. 🙂
    Thanks for playing along with the challenge. Have a blessed day!

    1. My hubby took the mantis photo, he is a better photographer than I am.

35. Motley Crew!!!! Sometimes you just never know.We’re missing Lucy, too. I know your mom’s heart hurts for her. We like the praying mantis!! She’s so big! Every once in a while we’ll see one around here – but they’re never that big!! Good to see Brody – Phoebe, are you sure you don’t have a crush on him? We love you all!!!

    1. Phoebe only has eyes for her purrince 🙂 She would like to crush Brody though. XO

36. A year since we lost Lucy? I can’t believe it 🙁 Miss you sweet girl.

    1. Thank you XO
