Weekend Open Thread

We have a sweet story for today’s open thread. A photographer found an honor store with a very cute manager.

I drove into deepest, darkest Bryan, Texas to buy some real honey. One picks their honey on the front porch of the beekeeper and leaves money in the jar or uses one of the bank applications to transfer the funds directly to the keeper.

a cat stands on a table next to bottles of honey. A sign behind the bottles reads "Honey, Honor System"
Or you could leave a can of tuna and I’ll forget I ever saw you.

Reader Duckie shares a very special holiday gift: “My BFF took all my pictures of Duckie and put them in a Picaboo book for me.”

I’ll be signing copies, as soon as I learn to hold a pen.

Today Maru rests in peace, but then again he always did — he was a champion napper on his favorite beds. But now it’s time to freshen the space for Hana and Kitten Miri.

More Maru Memories

It wouldn’t be Caturday without Maru, and fortunately we have a new video compilation of some of the goofiest moments from his rambunctious younger years. Between leaping into boxes and chasing balloons, it’s easy to see why the world loved him so.
