Wednesday in Japan... Gorogaro and Nikoniko

The blogs I follow are ones that mean something to me.

Places I have been or want to visit. Blogs filled with daily life by talented writers.

Or blogs filled with all sorts of wonderful animals from dogs, chickens, sheep, turkeys, ducks and cats !

Which leads me to a fun blog.

Gorogaro and Nikoniko

They are two kitties that have the best names.
If Watson and thehamish were kitties they would be this pair.

Their  Mum nice person who cooks for them, must be an artist

her blog is so wonderful.

The above link is to the post about the shelves that were installed in 

the kitties room for their jumping, running and napping pleasure.
They also have a fabulous screened in porch for when they wish to go outside.
.
opps, just saw that it linked to another post but you will get the idea !

.

hahahahahahaha and you though The Square Ones were spoiled.

She cooks for her kitties and builds them fun spaces.

The blog is on vacation ? but check it out if you have a second.

 This is a Kumamon ramen cup.
I have written before of how Kumamon is one of my favorite Japanese mascots.
.

 Here it is ready for the hot water.
This made the best miso soup ramen and was super fun to eat all the Kumamon faces.
This is not just for children because he is popular all over Japan.
And it was so good !

Here is your midweek pretty.
Driving home from yet another eye doctor visit for thehamish,
this is what I saw.

Wonderful flat bottom thunderhead clouds forming all over Tucson.
.

 I just want to reach up and touch one.
They are hanging so low over the foothills, that I could almost could pull one down.
.

Just beautiful.
The monsoons have been very good to us desert dwellers this summer,
after several years of awful.
We have gotten rain, wonderful rain.
Unlike were I use to live in California.
.
The whole state is on fire with no relief in site.
My home was burned down in 1993. That was the year most of Southern California
was on fire with an earthquake tossed in.
I know what lies ahead for all the families.
While you are relived you got your family out,
what comes next will be a long, hard and tiring road ahead.
That never has an end.


When I watch all the places I have lived and visited up in flames
there is nothing but heartbreak.
I am very happy I am away from all of this.  Once was enough.
