KIDDIE CATS, part 2

Some funny, some just ‘Aw!’, but look out for that last one.


We're just relaxing.




 I'm just keeping the kid warm.




 Yeah! You're a cute kitty!




 My buddy and I nap together. Hope he doesn't snore.




Tug-o-war




Sure! I'll read you a story.




 Good to see you, big boy!



Humor --

BUMPER STICKERS ...

... from our local newspaper --

“When I when I go, I want to go peacefully in my sleep, just like my grandfather. Not screaming and crying like the passengers in his car.”

“I used to miss my ex husband but now my aim is better.”

Don’t steal. The government hates competition.”

“Guns that don’t kill people. Drivers with cell phones do.”

“Stupidity is not a handicap. Park somewhere else.”

“Using turn signals is NOT aiding the enemy.”

KIDDIE CATS

Well, not all of them are kids.


"What beautiful fish!"
"What delicious meals!"




 Really? I cannot believe he said that!




 Peekaboo!




 Somebody give us a push.




Ack! I'm not a chair!




 Everybody is comfortable.




 Hello, sweetheart! It's been a long time!



Fun --

To judge from the covers of countless women’s magazines, the two topics most interesting to women are
1) why men are all disgusting pigs and 
2) how to attract men.

If a woman wants to attract a man, she should wear a perfume called “New Car Interior”.

A woman knows everything about her children. She knows about dental appointments and football games and best friends and favorite foods and romance and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

The quickest way for a parent to get a child’s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.

It is not advisable to put your head around your child’s door to see if it is asleep. It was.

BEST OF FRIENDS

And that has to include the last one.


Hey, I'm not lunch!




 Why do I always have to take the top bunk?




 When I said, "Let's go for a walk," this is not what I had in mind.




  I got here first.



Zzzzz




A handy place to snooze








The vet I wouldn't live to see three. Today I turned seven, so I pooped on the vets lawn.





I wuv you even if you are winkled.



 Don't look so surprised. We do this all the time.



Humor --

People shouldn’t be treated like object. They’re not that valuable.

The average person thinks he isn’t.

Men are like car alarms - they both make a lot of noise no one listens to.

When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she assumed that she has gained weight. When a man tries on clothing from his closet that feel tight, he assumes the clothing has shrunk.

SPRING TIME IN HOLLAND

WOW! Talk about gorgeous!  The captions came with the photos.


 In springtime, the lowland area by the North Sea is carpeted with fields of gladioli, hyacinths, 
lilies, daffodils, crocuses... and, of course, tulips



Keukenhof - literally 'kitchen garden' - is part of the hunting grounds of the ancient Teylingen estate.




The patchwork quilt of colours in the Keukenhof park, just outside Lisse in 
South Holland, is a veritable feast for the eyes




This year, the theme for the Keukenhof exhibition is Germany: Land of Poets and Philosophers




 Keukenhof – know as the Garden of Europe – is the one of the best places to view the abundance 
of spring flowers in the South Holland region of the Netherlands


 Around seven million bulbs are planted each year in the park at Keukenhof, in an area of 32 hectares.
(A hectare is about 2-1/2 acres, making  Keukenhof just shy of 80 acres.)




Spring in Keukenhof is one of the main tourist attractions of the Netherlands




The mild climate of Holland, with its wet springs makes it an ideal place for bulb cultivation




 The bulbs of Keukenhof are re-planted each year according to the current trends and
in collaboration with a number of gardening magazines


Humor --

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

The irony of life is that, by the time you're old enough to know your way around, you're not going anywhere.

God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question.

I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.

Every morning is the dawn of a new error.

BIRDS AND BEES ...

... and butterflies.  Lots of color!

















































Humor --

The following was on a classroom wall:


Time will pass, part 2

On the wall of my doctor’s office:  Too bad I didn’t have a camera with me.

                                                            Time will pass.  Will your kidney stones?

ORCHIDS

I am no botanist, but a couple of these look like roses to me.  Tell me what you think.

But first, a quiz that I may have posted before.  Answers below.


A STATELY QUIZ
Of the 50 states in the union, which is the most northerly, the most southerly, the most easterly, and the most westerly?













































QUIZ ANSWERS

Northerly - If you said Maine, go back and read the question again. It says, “Of the 50 states in the union...”
If you said Alaska, you are correct.

Southerly - If you said Florida, try again.  If you said Hawaii, you are correct.

Westerly - No, not Hawaii.  If you said Alaska, you are correct.

Easterly - If you said anything in the lower 48, you are not correct.  If you said Alaska, you are correct.

WAIT A MINUTE!  ALASKA? Most easterly? Quit pulling my leg!
Okay, time to look at a map that shows the International Date Line. You will note that the Aleutian Islands, which is part of Alaska, crosses the International Date Line. Go ahead. Argue with geography.
