Happy Easter!

It was Easter weekend, and Mandy and Sam celebrated their risen Savior yesterday. Mandy has been playing songs about Him on the noise maker, and Peyton has been singing with her. Sam and Mandy got up early for a Sunday and left in their dress-up clothes. They were gone a long time. I’m not sure what they did all day, but it was an all day affair. I was glad when they came home.

Mandy bought the most magnificent flowers. They are huge white fragrant flowers. Mandy said they are Easter Lilies, and they make the whole house smell good. She put them in front of the kitchen window that she opens for me. I sit in my open window and smell the flowers for hours on end. It is lovely; it is my new favorite place to sit.

Yesterday would have been lovelier, except Sam used the “b” word…bath. MEOW! Like cats needs baths! Please someone tell him that! But they said we were a little smelly. Peyton had accidently fallen in the pool the day before—that was rather funny—and then he rolled around in the dirt. We did feel rather dirty. So into the bath tub we went. I hate baths, but I can’t do much about it. After the bath, Mandy dried me off with a big towel and then snuggled me. Peyton was so angry about the bath that as soon as he got out of the bath, he jumped into the litter box….yep your reaction is probably the same as Sam’s. Gross, Peyton! He left Mandy to clean Peyton off again. Peyton reacts better to Mandy—most of the time. But finally Mandy got Peyton cleaned off and then he ran all over the house, and finally settled in the dirt out back. I think his train of thought was to get as dirty as possible after the bath. I told him, he must really like bathes if he was going to roll around in the dirt wet. But he did get himself cleaned off. I dried myself off next to the beautiful flower. They are lovely.

Well, it is Monday, and the week starts over. Mandy is getting ready for work. So I am going to go back to my new favorite window next to the beautiful flowers. Mandy opened the window first thing this morning. I love flowers.
