le birthday!

My rotten french sock monkey is like
"ees birthday of America, we celebrate" and I am worried about what that might mean until Georges Le Soq grabs the penguin and goes to the cupboard
"mon ami, we celebrate with vodka martinis--- mine ees perfect. Ees 1/3 oz vermouth, 1 and 2/3 oz vodka shaken over ice, then let sit a few minutes. Strain onto 3 olives. le delicious!"
And they are.
Our chubby kitten Emily turns 16 today. She is an OLD cat, but healthy and happy, still cross eyed, still dumb as a post, still super sweet and cuddly.
