Speckie Girl Magnet

Oh, when you just have been away for a couple of days... Kitties can give you that LOOK!

So did Speckie-Girl after I'd come home - she remained my MAGNET! On my desk, staring at me like saying Mom you don't go away AGAIN?!

She has such perfect white whiskers and eyebrow hair!

Thanks for your visit and comment.

Daycare for Kitties

Oh, those spoiled stinkers of kitties, what a life they have!

This is from April 5, all four of them lounging on their leopard blankies on top of our guest beds.

One would wish to be a pet like that!

Carefree nappy time after breakfast...

Bandido on the bottom, Barty on the other bed and Bandido's tiny sister Tiggy-Tiger at the foot end on an extra blanky!

Speckie girl claims the other soft blanky on the oak chest near the window for watching the front yard and the road.

Tiggy-Tiger loves to curl up when sleeping!

Barty boy, our most senior at the age of 14. He got white whiskers on one side...

They sure have a GOOD life!

But they are oh so loved.

Around 11:00 AM I call them all downstairs for their brushies. Combing their hair and then brushing it. Barty HATES it but he takes the bribes and lets me do some minimal combing + brushing.

Speckie loves to EAT so she lets me do a lot more.

Spunky girl, her brothers Spooky and Bandido LOVE it and so does Tiggy-Tiger. 

They are all so very easy.

Don't we all love our furry family members?!

Thanks for your visit and comment.

We Biked from Fort Benning to Columbus Georgia via RiverWalk

On June 15, I did post about last year's bike ride on the Chattahoochee RiverWalk in Columbus, Georgia.

On August 16, we did go back for a repeat of this lovely ride through nature.

Along the Chattahoochee RiverWalk there are spots for fresh cool water, so here husband Pieter is filling up his insulated water bottle.

This photo is taken of the Chattahoochee river in Columbus, GA High Uptown

We started out at Fort Benning, Infantry Museum where we parked our car.
Here we are on a bench in Columbus High Uptown after having completed over half of our ride of 30 km total or 18.6 miles.
We had a good whole wheat sandwich with beef tenderloin and sour cream/garlic/chives/horseradish for much needed muscle power.
So proud of my very senior mate!

Feeling very happy and FIT since my 2.5 month of NON-activity due to my closed double pelvic fracture.
Started biking again on June 15.

This beautiful arch with CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVERWALK is also in High Uptown Columbus, GA

Bridge with beautiful architecture and plants under those arches!
This also was in Uptown Columbus, GA
Would have loved to walk this bridge for taking more photos...

This is Downtwon RiverWalk in Columbus GA
Don't you love the pavement and the lanterns + railing!

Showing you here that beautiful railing alongside the Chattahoochee river, with Pieter waiting for me...

There is so much to see in Downtown Columbus GA alongside this RiverWalk, like this ALL WOODEN BRIDGE...

But we better keep going for returning back to Oxbow/Ft. Benning where our car is being parked!

The weather stayed perfect on Thursday, August 16 - no rain! 32ºC or 89.6ºF.

This is the entire 30 km or 18.6 mile route on Strava...
It took us 2 hours and 12 minutes.

Thanks for joining us and below is a short 59 seconds video of the entire ride.
