Hi fellow kitties!

Chels is so happy she will be seeing Sophie especially since it's time to shop for summer accessories!

Hey guys, just a heads up. My sweet, little, Kimba has decided on his own to learn the bagpipes. Ming taught him just enough to get him started and he now plays fairly well, not as good as Ming was, but he's getting there. I was wondering if Franklin could continue the lessons. They ARE short a bagpipe player now, and Kimba is willing to step in.

Oh, that is wonderful that Kimba is playing the bagpipes and now Frankie wants to learn!

Bob is piping away as always. After dear Sydney passed away last year, Elmer took up his pipes and has been working hard with them. Just like Kimba and Ming, Elmer's not quite up to Sydney's level yet, but he's getting there! Elmer and Bob are so glad the California piper group is keeping on, too.

Sparkler, the Celtic dancer extraordinaire, is so excited the bagpipe band is continuing and getting better and better all the time! She can't wait for the next gathering, and she practices every night. (Too bad for me wanting to sleep when she starts working on her tap-dancing and step-dancing routines in the bathtub..)

Hi fellow kitties,
Wow!!! I'm so excited to hear of our new up and coming bagpipers. They're a dedicated group who will be masters in no time and I can't wait to hear them. Will anyone be following up with Ming's harp? Soncat is looking into the All Star game and it looks promising. He won't tell me what's up but something special is in the works for our own all-star Frankie.

Your friend,

Franklin has already started working with Kimba via Skype, which is pretty weird to watch....lol

[momcat]

Hey there, Pinot,
I've been trying to get hold of you but my calls won't go through. It says your voice mail is full. Please call me as soon as you can. If your Catberry is having problems, send me an email. We have plans to make.

Your friend,
Groucho

[Pinot's Mom]

OK, I'm not frosted anymore; sorry, y'all, it seems my Catberry was having problems. I think my Mom had something to do with it...

Anyway, I've talked to a bunch of you and whoever is available is on the way here this evening as the Preakness is tomorrow and we have our annual date with the horsies, our sunrise breakfast at Pimlico, our tour, and we get to meet this year's contenders. From there we'll move on to other activities - we'll see if we can spring Utchie B and friends.

Check in, kitties!!

I wondered how the Skype ap got loaded on my phone! Now I know. I sure hope Sydney and Ming were watching their proteges with pride.

It's pretty quiet here now that Franklin and The Princess are gone on another Catmobile adventure. Nothing to do but pick up the mess left behind. Sheesh..who knew packing for the Preakness would create such chaos? Chels was on the phone with Sophie, for what seemed like hours, coordinating their accessories. She must have pulled out every single pair of sunglasses along with hats, boas, tiaras, kilts and dancing shoes she owns because all that stuff is in heaps throughout the house.
Franklin on the other hand just packed his fav pair of Foster Grants, a couple of kilts, one baseball cap and his bagpipes....
