Back from Bakayshun

Photo tour of Mount Desert Island and Ba-Ha-Ba (dat's Bar Harbor, Maine, in Maine speak) where our humans went and left us to nearly fend for owrselves while dey stuffed demselves on Maine lobster. We am letting da Mom bean tell yoo all about it.

View of Stewmans Lobster restaurant over the water and another smaller island in Bar Harbor.
Thurston's Lobster Pound in Bernard on Mt. Desert Island in Maine. The best lobster around. We basically drove 400 miles from home to have lobster for lunch here. It's cooked in seawater and you can get all messy yet still have a nice glass of wine with your lobster. What cat lover could resist going to a restaurant called 2 cats? The breakfast was awesome with the best blueberry pancakes around smothered in maple syrup and butter. A veggie omelet with fresh herbs and a melt in your mouth biscuit came with strawberry butter. They also had a great selection of all kinds of t-shirts so of course we got a couple. Unfortunately, none were small enough for Beau Beau & Angie to model.
Seawall picnic area where you can sit on a picnic table or chairs and enjoy the wonderful salt air with a hint of Balsam Fir from the trees behind you. This is at low tide. One day there was a southwest breeze coming off the water cooling the air to what felt like 50 degrees F and another day it was hot and humid at least 80 degrees F. You can see the seagull below trying to cool off through his open beak.
View from the Asticou Inn in Northeast Harbor from the deck where we had lunch while overlooking some lovely gardens and the harbor. Ahhhhhhh.

Friday's Friends

Hey Angie. Did you know we are famous today? We are Poppy Q's Friday friends!Wow. I love PoppyQ. She is the cutest British Shorthair kitty. Do you fink we can go teleport all da way ofur to New Zealand to play wif her today?

What Bird

Lookit dis kitty where da beans are stayin. Mom says dat must be a model for da Inn's resident kitty, Mira, at da Mira Monte Inn in Bar Harbor. That is what we will look like soon if we catch any flying fev-vers. We will make sure we stock up on fev-vers da next time da beans say they is going away.

Foooood

Look what da beans get to eat while we're starving! Ohhhhh the unfairness of it all.

We're hungry

Dis cat-a-piller is what we has to resort to eating acoz da college girl FORGOT TO FEED US! Da beans left early for vaycayshun and dey fed us a little bit of crunchies and den SHE was aposed to feed us and nuffin happened! We waited and waited for owr morning stinky goodness and we gots nuffin. Angie hunted for ants and I hunted for some spideys and den we spotted dis green fing owtside da window. It looks filling but we can't get to it. Help us we're starving!
Da college girl and Fat Eric's uncle Andrew must be related acoz he forgot to feed Fat Eric one time too - remember? Fat Eric remembers. We'll not forget dis one eifur. She better give us lots of treats to make up for dis. Da beans better bring us home some good stinky goodness and lots of lobster from Maine.

Mystery

I don't know what dat is Mommy. I don't know who put dem bitey marks in dat squash. I finks dey grow like dat. Maybe some buggies got to it. Maybe Angie did it. Maybe da college girl wuz sharpening HER teefies on it. Maybe a Vishus deer got to it. Maybe da stranger kitty owtside did it.Really. Who could accuse dis sweet face?

Happy Birthday America!

" On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.

The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Through the Internet we are learning about and communicating with people of different nations, with different languages and different races throughout the world. Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only benefit all nations.

We invite all nations to celebrate with Americans online this Fourth of July.

Happy Birthday, America! "

What Freedom means to us: Thank you for our freedom to be able to eat any kind of stinky goodness we want. And specially thank you for our right to be able to say and write what we want.

Wednesday's Word

Door. Funny fing bout doors. We can't get frew dem so we has to stay inside lookin' out. This door we has to sit on somefin or stand up high to look out of. The ofur door we can jus lay down or sit and stare out at da peoples and birdies. Then there are little doors inside and dat's where da stinky goodness is.

Now, there's anofur kinda Door and maybe owr Whiskonsin friends will know bout it. Da beans are talking bout going to some Door place dat's like an island? Do yoo know where dat is?

Sunday news

Just cleaning up here . It takes a lot to keep these white furs clean ya know. So let me tell you... this mornin' Beau Beau was doin' his usual running frew da house and he ran around da corner and wuz going to do a one point jump from da corner of da kitchen right up to da chair. But guess what happened? He didn't member dat one of my special sleeping in boxes wuz right in da way and he did a twist in mid air, hit da chair and managed to sproing out of da way so he didn't fall in da box. But it still counted as a fall. It was an amazing fing. Mommy gasped and had to gib him all kinds of cuddles. He didn't look hurt an he 'anored me coz he knew he did a stoopid fing. Boys. Dey always trying to show off.

Sunny Saturday

Hi efurryone! It's a sunny day here in Connectacat. I'm just laying out gettin' some sun. Beau Beau finally got out of his stuck place. It wuz a combined effort of many cats to get him out. Abby batted her beautiful eyes at him to help to lure him out; Dragonheart and Prinnie slipped in beside him; Victor and Derby pushed from behind. He finally popped out like a cork. Eric and Flynn tried to see if dey could fit and almost got stucked too. It was a hairy (and not so hairy) experience. Hee hee.

~Angie

I can fit

Errrrggghhhhhhh. Huffff, puuufffff, squeeezzze. I knew I could fit in here. It just took a little squeezin'. Hmmm. Just let me turn around now. Ok here I go. Um, mmrrfffff, ugh. Ut oh. Um, can somecat help me pweeze?

Fun Friday

Well we don't know what's so fun about Friday 'cept that Mom gets home early. It's furry hot here today so we am trying to stay cool and not moving.

Beau Beau am in trubbul acoz he figured out how to open da big cabinet an gets owr own food. We said we wanted more treats and we meant it. Fur some reason dis didn't sit well wif da hyoomans. Da College girl wuzn't too happy when she saw da empty bag when while she wuz watchin' us when da hyoomans were away. Da mom didn't believe it until she saw Beau Beau frew da window while he wuz on da counter (anofur no-no) opening da cabinet. We culdn't help owrselfs. We could smell da food. It wuz a good smell and it wuz callin' to us, come heeeeeaarrr Beau Beau, come heeeeaaaarrrrr Angie. So Beau Beau had to just let dem treats out of da bag.
Da treats are now in a differnt place. But we am smart and it will just take a leeeetle time till we gets da lid off dat treats jar.

Finally

It's about time. Owr offishal mommy and daddy are finally home after da honey-moon. We still don't know what a honey-moon is. We can see da moon but why did they haf to go there? We am just so happy they am back . I finally got to sleep. Zzzzzzzzzz.
~Beau Beau

Demands

Hey College Girl and Nick-Beau (he's college girl's boyfurrend)! Me an Beau Beau haf demands.
1) We demand to know when da Mommy and Daddy are coming home. We finks dey am way overdue from da honey-moon.
2) What is a honey-moon anyway?
3) We want fank you for feeding us owr stinky goodness but since the rest of da fambly is not here we finks you should gibs us shrimp and lots of it before dey get back!
4) Dat wuz fun playing in da water dat leaked out of da sink all ofur da floor but maybe you could use some of it to wash out owr private baffrooms huh? Dey am getting a little stinky.
5) We finks you should open up dat bag of treats dat you were aposed to be giving us efurryday. Mom said how many a day? Maybe seventy-eleben a day? Dat sounds about right.

We could fink of lots of more fings we want but dis will do for now.
