Hi and Hello from Five Oaks Manor, SouthWoodsUSA

Hi and Hello from the 6 Mouskateers of Five Oaks Manor way down here in the SouthWoodsUSA. (It's North East Mississippi if you really want to know.)

This old Bird is NOT new to the forum/message board scene, and this format is very familiar to me, so I think I can get with the program in short order. However, being long winded and of short memory (it's not the age, it's the mileage), it will be a while before I get my wind and directions set.

Briefly, M'Lady (LadyBug) and I are owned by 6 little rescues, 4 being inside only kitties, two being 'walkovers', or as one unfriendly neighbor called them, stolen cats. Short story: they came one day visiting, I gave them some scritching and loving, a small handout of crunchy din-din and watched them meander back up the road to their home. Next day they came back, bag and baggage, and have been with us, living on the Cat Porch (read here carport), sleeping in the laundry room (heated in winter), for near 7 years. Their Xowner came a week or so after they moved in and asked if I had seen them. Well, short story .... I was gruffly gifted with them, and the neighbor has not been back since. Her loss.

Three of the insiders were picked up at the local flea market one at a time, and the one little House Panther I went to pick up in answer to an add in the local newspaper. M'Lady did the choosing of the other three.

Oh, I might say, M'Lady, when I first met her 48 years ago, did NOT like cats.

Now that I've made my mark, I'll dive into my CP and see about doing my portion of the decorating.

I am known on numerous forums and message boards as KnightOwl, but, if you wish, I gladly answer to Roy. M'Lady is Lisa. To the cats we are known as the servants, the Large One, and the Small One, and, of course, the can openers.

I'm gone for now .....

Thanks Miss Mew. I hope I don't have to bother anyone with the questions for a bit, but I promise if I have any I will DEFINITELY be 'bothering' you.

And thanks -_aj_- for the welcome. Hope to see much more of you in the future.

And too, thanks to you Cat Person, and Kailie, for your welcomes and the compliments on the Mouskateers.

Rain today, and it has put a crimp in my plans for the outside, so I'll probably be back in before the day is too long gone. We've a mess of pictures on the hard drive, photobucket, and another couple hundred just uploaded to the HD not yet processed. I'll be working up some for posting here shortly.

Everyone have a great day, and look for me .... I shall return ..... HONEST!

What can I say. Thanks everyone.

Now I'm going to see if I can find the right place to do my picture posting. I'm used to doing the basic forum type of posting (WorldCrossing)(Sympatico before that)(and recently AbleMinds)with a thread for each subject/topic. Not sure if homesteading on one topic is acceptable here or not, not having browsed and observed much yet, but if it is I'll be trying to do that. If that is not the policy/wish/habit here, please let me know .....

Right now I'm Lurking and Lking every where I'm allowed.

Later .....

I'm back to try some pictures, and my signature. Got tired of cut and paste from the Blogs and other places. I'll be posting in the pix and vid subF later tonight.

Thanks again, everyone, for all the Welcomes and compliments.
