Weekend Wrap-up

I hope everyone in the US has survived the celebrations. Mommy opened the blinds and watched several displays towards the east of us (Roseville, St. Paul area, and even off in the south east the fairgrounds). Maybe I shouldn't say towards, cause most of them were off in the distance.  Which meant mommy was happy seeing fireworks, but I was happy they were silent.
Yes, I stayed with her and didn't hide.  The neighborhood folks shot off a handful of boomers and that was it. Easy Peasy.
Mommy got her binoculars out and the fireworks appeared closer.  I found that the dangly thing that's supposed to be placed around the neck (mommy didn't do that) is a very fine toy. When she put the binoculars down, I played with the dangly thing and it was lots of fun.  Mommy even didn't say I couldn't!
Now this picture WAS taken during the fireworks on the 4th (after playing with the dangly thing and still while mommy was watching the fireworks):
 
 See how I really was relaxed! Of course, Mommy was close by during all the "fuss" and that always helps!
Mommy took a picture of me on my new perch this weekend. A not very good one, I must say, but here it is:
She'll probably sneek more, and they will be better. The "Rolling Storage" (see, mommy, I can read!) is in my room right by the window.  This picture was taken in the afternoon, so there are no sunpuddles but it is a nice place to curl up, anyway, even without them.
That's my weekend wrap-up. Today is just as relaxing. *yawn* Nice day for a few naps! Mommy has left the a/c cooly thing on all weekend cause of the humidity and heat.  Isn't she nice? *yawn*
See you!

Run free, Olive, we love you.

Sounds like you had a really great weekend. Lots of mommy time and not too much bangin' and boomin' fireworks time. Perfect!

Purrs,

I don't mind fireworks. I like watching them through the window. The noise is a bit annoying though!

We didn't have much trouble with the boomers and bangs, but we all spent most of the last few days tucked in the house anyway, just in case.

Stay cool and comfy

Our mom usually goes to see fireworks but she spent this year with us cause of MMM's fur problems. We're glad you didn't have any of the booms.

One of the things our mom wanted to do while we were off was your avatar, but so many unexpected things happened, she didn't have a chance. She'll be on vacation in August, so she is hoping for then. Purrs!
