Thankfully Poetic!

This week we are going to pawticipate in Thankful Thursday at Brian's Home and Sam's Poetry Corner at Two Spoiled Cats!

First is Mom's Thankful. This is something that has only happened ONCE before since we moved back to BC. This is Me, Kozmo and Jo Jo all on the bed at the same time! Mom had broken up some of the Peanut Butter and Bacon cookies and we ALL wanted some!

She sprinkled them on the bed and we were all there (until the cookie crumbs were gone). Even better, last night I, Marv, came and cuddled in bed with Mom while Kozmo was on the bed. I even purred and I stayed for 15 minutes, before I hrrmphed and leapt off the bed. 

I really don't like to share Mom and I won't go on the bed if Kozmo or Jo Jo is there and they think the bed in that bedroom is theirs. 

Mom is thankful that I have started to mellow and is hoping that the mellowing continues. 

I also want to thank all the visitors who come to my blog and those who leave me messages! I really love to read them. Thank You!

The photo looks like it could have been taken in one of the old time bars around here. In the late 1800 there was a Gold Rush here and later there was mining for Copper. Most of the old hotels are now closed and mouldering. We live off the beaten path and most people want to vacation where there are exciting things to do.

One of the exciting stories about the Boundary was the murder of the Midway Hotel owner, Charles Thomet. Our house is built on the same spot where his house used to be. 

Mr Thomet owned a hotel
People say it was the best
Where all the happy miners
Set down and had a rest.

There were beers and whisky
And drinks to melt the chill
For all the happy miners,
Who made it down the hill.

Then one day a gun fight happened
And Mr Thomet met his end
The bandits did run and swim
And made it around the bend.

They never did find those guys
And no one was to know
Where those bandits got to
So very long ago.

Here is a really short video about the murder!
