Thankful Thursday

 

Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

I am thankful to you all for the birthday wishes yesterday. Also thankful I was able to celebrate with my mom, husband, niece and her hubby and kids. I am truly blessed.

Here is my poem for Angel Sammy’s Poetry Day to go with this fun prompt.

Dad’s shoes are my port in a storm
they are always nice and warm. 
I do wish they smelled a little better. 
I’ll forgive that because he is a good petter. 
This photo prompt reminded me of my angel Millie- he loved shoes.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
1. The best part of the summer is _______________.
2. I can’t believe that I ever ___________________.
3. I would happily _________ every single day.
4. I could use a break from _________.

  1. That is a PERFECT poem! We think shoes are interesting – like “magnets” – their lovely (?) aromas attract us in an interesting way…….Great job on the poetry and we are glad your Mama had a nice birthday!!!!!

    Hugs, Teddy

  2. It’s good to know that you enjoyed your b’day celebration.
    Excellent poem; I think cats rather like our smells, as I recall Chuck and Angel sleeping inside our shoes and sandals as kittens.

  3. HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ELLEN! I’m running behind this week. That’s the story of my life but anywho I hope your day was extraordinarily wonderful.

    Fabulously cute poem!

    I borrowed your fill-ins and will put them up on Sunday! 😉

  4. Mudpie loves to lie on top of my shoes too! Hope you had a purrfect birthday 🙂

  5. I’m glad you were able to enjoy your birthday with family and your poem is excellent!

  6. Happy belated birthday, Ellen. 🎂🥳💐🎈🎁 It sounds as if it was a great one. Your poem is purrfect. Somewhere I have a photo of Dad Tom’s and my second cat, Steamer, in a pair of my dad’s shoes from when he was visiting. Best wishes, Janet & Kitties Blue

  7. Chaplin: “Look, Charlee! Shoes! Don’t you want to climb into the computer and give them a sniff?”
    Charlee: “I DO NOT HAVE A SHOE FETISH! But yes, I would be interested in finding out what they smell like, just for research purposes of course.”

    1. Thank you. I wish I could have found some of the other photos of him with shoes. XO

  9. Happy Belated Birthday! I made a meme with Angel Sammy for the occasion, and it now appears on my Friday blog posting. I am sorry for slipping up like that. I guess getting older is having a negative effect on my memory. I had even chosen the picture beforehand, but lost track of it. I’m going to check next time before commiting to the post. Love you guys and cats!🥰😻

    1. No worries. That was sweet of you to go back and add him. We love you and Dani too. XO

  10. Aww,such a sweet pic of your angel Millie. Nice job with the poetry.
