Hilarious, Mom.
When yer done with dem walls, this here floor could use a buff and shine, Mom.
Over the past couple of years, people have posted videos online of their cats being outright terrified of cucumbers. Olivia proves that’s not so much a thing in this house.
Yes, I’m grumpy. It’s Monday. Wouldn’t you be?
No, really! I’m waiting for Dad to come downstairs to give me a snack. Who said I was waiting to pounce on someone coming down the stairs? ‘Cause I’m not.

Over the weekend, Mom finished up painting with as much paint as she had on hand. Two other walls in the kitchen remain to be painted and that’ll be another room off the list. She says she’s going to give the painting thing a break for a couple of weeks so she can focus on a few other things. We’ll see.
She’s also happy about getting rid of some old (not antique old) things over the weekend, including her big, heavy duty beast of a treadmill, all of which went to great homes. No one else asked her to ship the items to other countries, like happened last weekend, but she says she sure did get some “interesting” questions about the stuff.
As far as setting the stuff at the end of the driveway with a free sign on it and happily finding it gone later, everything that found homes couldn’t have survived sitting out in the rain, and we’d had bad luck with freebie items later found dumped and smashed in the field up the street from us, because, clearly, that’s fun to do.
The amount of open space we now have, now that those things are gone, is a bit jarring, but a happy jarring. Here it is, still January, and Mom’s got major things done on that ever-packed internal to-do list of hers. Yeah, she’s happy.
Okay, Mom. Love the less-cluttered look. Now let’s talk about that to-do list, and let’s put petting me at the top!

Yeah, I think she should get back to paying attention to you guys. 🙂 ~Ernie
Quint has got the right idea, kitties!
I adore the image of Grumpy Pia.
It sounds like you’ve got to fill up some space now. How about a big bin of TREATS???
What cuties you all are! We’ve been slowly clearing out old stuff and painting, but much slower progress here than at your house. Enjoy the wide open
I agree with Quint! He needs some head scratching xoxo. All the kitties are so adorable
I am glad you found homes for your things. I have gotten rid of 2 treadmills in the past- both practically new because I am a sloth. 🙂
I am glad the painting has gone well and that you have got rid of the items you no longer wanted. You have got the year off to a good start.
Y’all do look fabulous and hooray for a stop to the painting!
Wow, you got a lot of stuff done and the year has just started! Yay!
That sure was a bunch of stuff off Mom’s to do list. So yeah, time for some petting and cuddles for the Colehaus Cats! 🙂
