Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Our 2 Inseparable Feline Siblings SACHA & BANDIDO}

These photos I just have to share with you. Brother and sister Bandido (Dido) and Sacha are so crazy about each other that they embrace one other while sleeping! Humans could learn a lot from them. They kiss and cuddle each other like they're going to eat one another alive...

Bandido (r) has the softest 'silky' fur we ever felt on any feline. His 'Mamita' was like that too. You can read her story: {Telling YOU the Tale of our 4 Feline Girls}. Those two are really inseparable since birth.

They sleep always with a big smile on their faces...
A bundle of bliss...

  3. Hello Mariette,
    this is a picture of the perfect harmony, the Yin & Yang of a catlife. So visible in their smile. Cats are much more than just house pets. Animals have so much more personality than we are able to comprehend. Dear Mariette, this photo made my day.
    Greetings, Johanna

  4. Hi Mariette, who cute your cats. I've always believed from experience that our pets soften human beings, we give some perspectives on love and loyalty. You are right, teach us so much when we learn at home and observe their behavior, etc.. They are beautiful! Greetings, Rose Marie

  7. OMG Mariette, they're so cute and lovely, no wonder you're so proud
    of 'em.

  9. Ach liebe Mariette was für ein harmonisches Katzengespann, ganz herrlich sie bei kuscheln zu beobachten!! Ja Du hast Recht wir sollten uns ein Beispiel an ihnen nehmen!
    Liebe Mariette ganz lieben Dank auch für deine Kommentare über Geld und Freundschaft. Also ich bin eigentlich optimistisch, auch wenn es vielleicht nicht so rüber kommt. Ich hoffe eigentlich sehr, das sie ihre Reaktion noch mal in aller Ruhe überdenkt. Nun ja ich warte mal ab was sich tut.
    Dir wünsche ich noch einen wunderschönen Sonntag und lass Dir liebe Grüße aus Germany hier :))

  13. Hoi Mariette,

    Wat zien je katten er lief uit op de foto!

    Een hele gezellige zondag!

    Lieve groet,

  14. Ach Gott, liebe Mariette, diese kuschelnden Katzengeschwister sind ja absolut entzückend! Thanks for sharing! Unsere schwarze Katze Nina hat übrigens auch so ein wunderbar weiches Fell! (Und einen kleinen weißen Fleck auf dem Hals. Vielleicht ist sie eine entfernte Verwandte deiner Katzen? :o)) Sehr schön und traurig auch die Geschichte ihrer "Mamita". Ich hoffe sehr, wenn sie schon nicht bei euch leben kann, hat sie wenigstens irgendwo ein anderes gutes Zuhause gefunden!
    Herzliche Grüße und ich streichle deine Katzen!
    Alles Liebe, Traude
    PS: Ohn, und schlimm auch, was du mir über die Aufhellercremes geschrieben hast. Läßt sich eure Pflegetochter nicht überreden, auf diese Creme zu verzichten? Es ist so traurig, wenn Menschen glauben, dass irgend etwas mit ihrem Aussehen nicht in Ordnung ist, nur weil ihnen die Medien das einreden...

  19. Oh how sweet these two are, Mariette! We certainly can learn a lot from them—they are too adorable... thank you for sharing these pictures with us. Hope you had a very nice weekend,

  20. Lieve Mariette,

    Wat een schatje die 2 katten. Het is altijd leuk en vooral genieten om naar de katten te kijken. Onze katten zijn half broertjes van elkaar met 1 jaar verschil. Maar ze zijn ook heel verschillend, maar wel heel aanhankelijk en lief.

    Groetjes en dikke knuffel aan de katten,
    Sandy

  21. Darling kitties! My Violet used to kiss her sister Daisy every morning when she'd go see her across the street. Unfortunately, I moved and she doesn't get to see her every day but now Harvey and Newman kiss her every morning when she gets out of bed. I love how animal siblings interact with each other.
