Throwback Thursday 80s Style

We Got the Beat

Hey, Mel!

Yeah?

You need to hear this song.

Really?  What is it?

We Got the Beat by The Go-Gos.

Love it!

Totally!

Later, Mel took the walkman and listened to a great mix tape!  Adam Ant, Madonna, Simple Minds, U2, The Go-Gos, The Bangles, REM, The Ramones, The Cure, Pat Benatar, Meatloaf, Queen, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Sam Harris, The Thompson Twins, The Eurythmics, OMD, Journey, Men at Work, Big Country, Ratt, Dio. 

Totally awesome!  Who would be on your mix tape?

While Lanie used her photos from Xyra's photo albums and year books to create an outfit, Mel's outfit is mostly part of the new historical American Girl Courtney's collection. the attention to detail is really nice with working buttons, the flats are pointed, the scrunchy and lace fingerless gloves, bracelets are really cool.  There are a details that could be improved.  The socks should have lace edges, the walkman and headphones should be silver and black only, and the velcro closure on the jeans should be stronger (took a few times to get it to connect properly).

Thank you for dropping in!  Have a great night!  Stay safe and well!

A Day for the Woof

National Dog Appreciation Day

Last week we celebrated National Dog Appreciation Day.

Of course, every day we appreciate our pups.

So true!

We were able to get most of our puppies to come outside for a photo.

Yeah, Caramelotta decided to be uncooperative.

Miraculously they stayed still. Well, Lena and Tatlo moved

Give your furry family member a hug from us!

Have a great day!

It's Pyewacket Day

National Black Cat Appreciation Day

A Belated Celebration, Sort Of!

If you have a mini panther in your house and family then you know that every day is black cat appreciation day.  

However, the official date is August 17.

Not to be confused with National Black Cat Day.  

That is celebrated on October 27.

Pyewacket and I went outside or a bit the other day.

I chanced going without harness by keeping quite a few treats in my pocket.

It worked.  we didn't stay out long, but it was a nice day.

I wonder...there has to be a National Tuxedo Cat Day.  Licorice would love that!

(PS. There is!  It is October 29.)

Thank you for joining us today.  

Have a nice day!  Stay safe and well!
