CAPTAIN CASPER IS BACK!!!

The Courage Tree

Be Strong and of a good courage, fear not,

nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God,

he is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee,

nor forsake thee.

KJV Deuteronomy 31: 6

More Leaves!

You know I also wonder why Mom and Dad work so hard with these leaves when they do it over and over every year. Mom says there is one creepy crawler that likes to live in leaves that freak her out. TICKS. She hates them. I had to have some taken off me a time or two. Put you know what? Some of the trees still have about a fourth of the leaves still on them, which is weird, cause this time of year they should be completely off. Mom is optimistic though, she says at least the majority of them are all burned. Mom promised me we could go visiting a lot more now that most of the work is done.

Mom wants to Thank every one very much for the good wishes that everyone has sent her for her birthday. She got to go to her favorite mexican restaurant on her birthday. The have something called a burrito relleno that she loves. Mmmm she says. There is so much of it she gets to eat leftovers for her lunch the next day. Now, when do I get my mmmmm treats??

Helping???

I'm helping Mom. I'm laying here so she doesn't have to rake these leaves up. Mom and Dad have been playing with the leaves for three days now. They are hoping for one more real good day tomorrow so they can burn them. A storm is suppose to come in on Friday, so the weatherman says?? Mom worked hard today, I think she is working up an appetite for her birthday dinner tonight. Randy and Mary are taking her out. That's good, just so she doesn't forget to give us our temptations before she goes.

Neighbor's Dog Shadow

Do you remember the picture where Gizmo, Cleo and Casper were sittining in the door and didn't really want to go out? (Nov. 6th) This is the reason why. This is Shadow our neighbor's dog and she gets out once in awhile. Looks like she has been having fun wandering around as she is dirty. Anyhow the cats would just rather wait until she goes home before going outside. Shadow is part wolf and part husky. She sure has a lot of energy, sure wish I could tap some of it. Her Mom does too.

Something New for Cleo

Well, what do we have here??

Gosh, I've never seen a box with

flaps before. Daddy got his new

jacket out of here. Will it be

big enough for me to sit in ?

Goodness is there a way to get in there??

Hey, this is big enough for me to sit in. Yeah!

Mom says I'm inquisitive, what ever that means.

Paths

Come, and let us go up to the mountain

of the Lord, and to the house of the

God of Jacob and he will teach us of His

ways, and we will walk in His Paths.

KJ Micah 4: 2

In all thy ways, acknowledge Him,

And he shall direct thy paths

Prov. 3:6

Where's the smile?

Why look so serious all the time Casper. Isn't there a smile in there somewhere? What's worse having the sun in your eyes or the flashy thing go off? At least you can see a little of your blue eye when the sun is on your face. No red eye. Guess there is no difference you have to squint either way.

In My Chair Again?

Casper, are you sitting in my chair again?? Guess you don't like my question cause your wagging your tail. Well, Grr, Midnight and Cocoa says cats get dibs on any chair. O.K. when you get ready to get off let me know and I will post your site. Thank You

Casper the Great

Where have you been Casper? It's been awhile since you have been on your site. What?? It's my fault. Well, guess I have to admit it, I guess it was. But gosh, you don't have to look at me that way. Yeah, and I can see you took my chair again. How can I post when your sitting in it??? O.K. Here Is Casper the Great!!!

Thanksgiving

Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. KJV Psalm 100: 4&5

Cleo got Caught

This is Randy holding Cleo. She did not come out on her own. Randy hunted her down until he got her, so I had to take this picture. We had a nice Thanksgiving day together. I am sorry I haven't been visiting lately but I have had to stay off line because of waiting for phone calls. We are in a dilema at the moment with septic system problems. We finally got someone out today to pump the tank so the other people trying to find out why it's stopped up could do their work. The leach lines look fine so they have to find out why water is backing up through the tank. I will be visiting soon. Thank you all for the cute comments.

Cleo Watching Me

Mom, why are you putting that shiny stuff on your pies. Well Cleo, I heard that if you put this on the crust it won't burn. It's kind of hard to make the shiny stuff stay on though. Whe are going to have company for dinner tomorrow and I would like you to come out after awhile and see Randy and Mary. You have been around here for a year now and they have never seen you. Well Mom, I will think about it. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

Casper and Cleo

I tried to get a picture of these two playing with each other but by the time I got the camera on and it finally got ready for taking pictures they stopped. I said something and Casper turned around. I miss a lot of pictures waiting for the camera to boot up. Oh well, can't complain to much as I have gotten some good ones. Even though Casper seems to be disturbed by the flashy thing. Not really, he takes it in stride. He knows he has a site to take care of. Ha, ha.

My Grandkitty

This is Rusty, my Grandkitty. He belongs to our son Randy. He found him at work, he had been hanging around for awhile and was all dirty and greasy. Randy is an auto mechanic, he decided to take him home, clean him up and keep him as no one claimed him. He greets me when I come in their door, he is one of a kind sweetheart. I know each cat has their own meow sound, I love Rusty's, it's so different.

Psalm 104: 31-33

May the Glory of the Lord endure forever,

may the Lord rejoice in his works-

he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,

who touches the mountainss and they smoke.

I will sing to the Lord all my life.

I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Musical Cleo

What's this Mom dumped on the bed?? Hmmm I hear noise coming out of it. Don't sound to bad. Mom says it's music. She says it's Vince Gill singing. But actually this wire thing looks like something to play with. Yep, soon after Cleo did start playing with it.

Aww Casper

Aww Casper is that flashy thing bothering you so much that you have to cover your eyes. I'm sorry. But look how sweet you look. Well since the picture has been taken, you can take your nap in peace.

Pursed lips.

Casper are you ticked off or something? You have your lips pursed together. I know you are tired of the flashy thing but I need to take pictures to put on your site. O.K. you are right, I took to many. Can't help if you always have a cattitude problem. No, I'm sorry, I love you anyhow.

Cleo

Here is Cleo taking it easy looking pretty. She is looking the wrong way. She is usually looking out the window with her paw holding down the slats. At first I thought this was Gizmo until I saw her little goatee. Their markings are similar and sometimes the grey on Gizmo looks darker in the pictures. Cleo is not as long haired as Gizmo and I thought she was. The only place where she has long hair is the black strip down her back and her tail. Funny.

Praise be to the Lord for he has heard my cry

for Mercy. The Lord is my strength and my Shield,

my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.

My heart leaps for Joy, and I will give thanks

to Him in song.

NIV Psalm 28: 6,7

Casper Washing His Face

I got mad at Casper because he was picking on Gizmo and I yelled at him. When that happens he comes down in front of me and rolls around thinking he is cute and maybe I won't be mad at him anymore. As everyone knows he was forgiven until the next time. He washes his face knowingly.

Neighbor's Cat

I thought I would deviate from my cats and post a picture of my neighbors cat. His name is Poppa Doza. She acquired him from her former neighborhood because his owners moved away and left him there. Can you imagine leaving a beautiful cat like this. She said when he first came to her all the fur on his back was off and had sores. He sure is cared for now. She does not know what breed he is. He does have blue eyes. I was wondering if he could have some flame point Siamese in him. He is so friendly. He also has six toes as you can see.

Should we or shouldn't we??

Better check to see if the neighbor's dogs got out again. Sure wish they would stay home. We got to go out the day this was taken but today we all came back in because Shadow was out. Don't know what Cleo is looking at. Mom said something so I turned around.

Being funny?

Mom thinks she is being funny. She said she had to get dressed which made no sense to me cause she already had clothes on. Anyhow she put her really soft robe on the bed and I was pawing and kneading it when she threw her pajamas on top of me and laughed. I didn't think it was funny. After she got other clothes on she hung up the pajamas and the robe and left me laying on the bed. But I did give her "the" look.

The Rainbow

I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting comenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth. NIV Genesis 9: 13,16

Cleo playing in her box

Look out Cleo don't fall on the floor. Remember the box is on the couch not on the floor. I wouldn't want you to fall on your pretty little head. Funny kitty.

Is Casper Hiding??

Casper come on. Do you really think you are hiding? At least you picked a colorful place to think your hiding. You're funny.

Wagging Tail

ALL RIGHT!!! WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS!! HOORAY!! Mom is ecstatic she can post our pictures again. Blogger finally came through. Mom and Dad was watching NCIS and I was waving my tail in front of the screen. It didn't seem to bother them as they didn't say anything but they were snickering. I guess that means giggling.

Laid Back Casper

Looks like Casper is in a don't care attitude here. I'm here laying on the bed world, just go on without me. He said he has his eyes closed because he is tired of that flashy thing going off in his eyes. He's tired of seeing spots before his eyes after the picture is taken.

The Lord will also be a refuge for the oppressed.

A refuge in times of trouble.

And those who know Your name

will put their trust in you.

For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

NKJV Psalm 9: 9&10

Are you hiding Casper?

Casper sometimes like to sleep under the covers. He used to do it a lot more than he does now. He has been acting differently lately. I wonder if he misses Amber too. He's found a new perch and is hardly ever in my room anymore. He still comes in the morning and lays beside me though and this was the time he would like to go under cover. Just have to give him time to come back around.

A Young Gizmo

This picture of Gizmo was taken the same time of the young Casper pictures. Gizmo and Casper were the only inside cats at that time. Patches was still an outsider then. Gizmo is the only one that will let me rub his tummy real good. He'll lay there and want me to rub it when he's in the mood. I can rub Patches tummy but carefully. Forget Cleo and Casper.

Go outside Casper

I was surprised that Casper stayed by the door so long before he went outside this day. He's usually the first one out there. The other cats were out there, maybe something didn't feel right to him. I sure don't know what's going through his sweet little head. He's here helping me type this but he still won't give me an answer. Guess it's a secret.

Attack on Gizmo??

Is she or isn't she going to attack Gizmo?? Cleo thinks she is hiding behind the curtain. But I think Gizmo knows she won't be able to attack him in the window, or can she?? She is very nimble but sometimes very clumsy.

Rain Rain Rain

The Lord does whatever pleases him,

in the heavens and on the earth,

in the seas and all their depths.

He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth,

he sends lightning with the rain

and brings out the wind from his storehouses

NIV Psalm 135: 6,7

Casper Playing

Guess it was time to let Casper get out of the corner because Meepsie said so. So here he is playing. Tried to fix his eyes but I guess because they aren't red they wouldn't fix. He looks weird. But he had fun playing.

Casper in the Corner

Casper, what are you doing sitting in the corner? Did you do something bad? I didn't tell you to sit in the corner. What did you do? Aaah, maybe you see a spider. Well, whatever Casper you can get down now.

Casper one more time

This picture was taken right after the signature picture. If it the signature picture hopefully comes up, (after I republish the blog) you will be able to see what I mean. He is almost in the same position with his head turned. Also, this is the last picture in the photo shoot of the young four year old Casper.

Casper

Just can't figure out what Casper is doing here. The picture was either taken before or after of him licking his paw. He just looks funny and you wonder what he is thinking.

Our God maker of the Sea

For the Lord is the great God

the great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth

and the mountain peaks belong to Him.

The sea is his, for he made it,

and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow down in worship,

let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

For he is our God.

NIV Psalm 95: 3-7

Licking Paw

Again, this was taken when Casper was four years old. Also still in the same photo shoot as the others were taken. I was real lucky and got him in quite a few shots that looked real good. I think he was hamming it up that day.

The Toad

Doggone it, Mom saved a froggy again today. Guess she doesn't like us to have fun. Cleo is still looking for it, but I know I won't find it unless it jumps back down on the ground, and I'm waiting. Mom is certain this picture is a of a toad. We don't get them much in the back yard. I think it's because they are on to us. This one got batted around a bit, but I didn't put him in my mouth. For one thing he's a tough guy. Hope all of you have a real nice day. Casper

Checking it out

Whatever attracted his attention, he decided to check it out. Boy, I sure do wish my gladiolas would grow like that again.

Attention Alert

Ooops, something has caught Casper's attention during his photo session. I sure can't remember what it was. Could have been a bird, squirrel or whatever. So it was time out for awhile. Rest time.

Casper Boy

One more picture of the Captain.

Lighthouse of Faith

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot

be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it

under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it

gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way

let your light shine before men, that they may see your

good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

NIV Matthew 5: 14-16

Again I would like to thank all of you for your thoughts,

words, and prayers. You don't know how much they

meant to me.

A Young Casper

This picture was taken when Casper was four years old. It was taken the same time as his signature picture which I tried getting on the blogsite. I will get it on sometime. The picture I am talking about is what Kat posted on Kat cat's when she first started out. Anyway, I took a half roll of film that day and all will be posted. I found them recently and scanned them so I could post them. So it's Casper time again.
