Blue Cat Returns to Winter Driving

Blue Cat had thought that winter was far behind him here in Colorado Springs – given that it’s May and it’s been in the 60’s and 70’s all week. But then Thursday happened. It was a bright sunny day with some dark clouds by the mountains when Blue Cat’s scribe was driving home. But when […]

Blue Cat Changes His Plan

If you’re wondering where Blue Cat’s picture is today, you need to know that Blue Cat loves snow, but doesn’t like driving in it. So today he’s hiding in his creator’s purse – because today Blue Cat learned that a plan is not a recipe, but a guide. That will take a bit of explaining. […]

Special Post: Blue Cat Defrosts a Turkey

Blue Cat’s family is having a big Thanksgiving this year. Really big – with 14 family members (everyone except Blue Cat’s creator, who is still on her mission in California).

But that doesn’t work anymore, because the environment […]

Blue Cat and the Award Winning Chili

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Blue Cat decided to bring chili to the church Fall Festival at the last minute, as he was bringing 8 people and didn’t want to be a slouch. So he threw some chili together at the last minute and put it in a crock pot. What he […]

Blue Cat Meets the Homecoming Queen

Blue Cat’s friend (we’ll call her Stephen) decided to go to the Homecoming Dance at the last minute – and was able to go from owning only a purse to full-up beautiful in less then 2 hours. She may not have been the real homecoming queen, but Blue Cat (and her Dad) think she was […]
