FFO, Smile And Hold It!



With this kiss-face I join Nicole´s FFO and Gilenna.
 
And for Annie´s Smiles:  
 
 
Awww, too cute, aren´t they? 
 
Today Mom´d turn 84, a bitter-sweet Smile... Everything has (at least) two sides...
 
 
And some funnies, cause it´s Friday (time so runs!):
 


 





Henry 🦁

 Addendum: I wanted to add Lnky yesterday, something went wrong and I cannot look up the demo as he uses a plugin neither my browsers can show. E-mailed him. Really bad service...
If he answers I´ll add it, if not I quit.
I have too much to do with work and study to fiddle around with stuff like that.

Very cute kiss-face and YES to black AND white and all other colours too. Those waist/belly bags look awful but I gues they'd be effective.
You won't catch this Australian with TimTams! Waaay too sweet, and I have a sweet tooth!
I think I would let the player play his bagpipes just to see if he was any good at it.

Love those kittens! So cute!
No Linky?
Thanks for the smiles. I'm having a week where everything goes wrong. I need smiles.
I have no idea what TamTams are...
Btw, I love bagpipes, I love the ulleann pipes even better. (Listen to Davy Spillane).
Enjoy your weekend,
Lisca

Love the black and white kittens. Your drawn face is definitely sweet. I love Kermit's diplomacy. Have a great Friday, Iris.

Hi Iris, guess you've forgotten the Link or I can't see it. Great funnies today and hope your weekend is a happy one. Hugs Angela xXx

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I think those belly bags are effective, huhhh... Friends kept presenting me with all sorts of TimTams... dark, white, cherry....
Ingo had a bagpipe and his attempts were so awful I gave it to my T. Who forgot he cannot play cause after an accident he lost two fingers- we had a good laugh and now it´s deco in his living room...

TimTams are supersweet "cakes", typical Australian.
You would not love bagpipes if you lived here, LOL. I had to endure Ingo´s attempts at it...

Iris Flavia said...

Diplomacy, yes, that´s the correct word :-)

Hi Angela, as I answered to Erika, I wanted to add it yesterday, something went wrong and I cannot look up the demo as he uses a plugin neither my browsers can show. E-mailed him. Really bad service...

Popping by at yours in my next break, to a great weekend hugs xXx

Happy birthday to your mom! What a beautiful and bittersweet way to celebrate her. Those pictures of the dog and hedgehog are so cute, they definitely made me smile. I also totally get the frustration of dealing with technical issues when you're busy—it's never fun. Thanks for sharing a little bit of everything in your post.

Hi Iris. I hope you're having a super week. I'm away until Tuesday but have a bit of time this morning and wanted to stop by. I didn't realize your Mom died so young. Even 84 doesn't seem to old these days. Loving your Henries today too. Hope all is well. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

You startled me with the dog and hedgehog? Yes, Mom left us 14 years ago, time runs...

Iris Flavia said...

Hope your holiday is fun, Erika! Yes, Mom left us 14 years ago... Our neighbor is in his 80´s and still rides his bike, his apartment is in 4th floor, he´s superfit and alert...
Wishing you much fun, hugs

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi again Iris, don't worry we'll all keep in touch. I'm going to see if I can sort out a link for us. It's a pain when you think somethings working and then it doesn't and you're busy enough without putting up with being messed about. Take care and hugs Angela xXx

Gene Black said...

The Kiss Face is adorable. I enjoyed all the funnies, I would be at risk of being caught in the Australian trap.
Nice memory of you and your mother.

...Iris, thanks for today's chuckles!

Iris Flavia said...

Naaaah, TimTams are really super-mega-sweet! Yes, 14 years my Mom is gone now...

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Angela, then I skip this for good (is one month for free), fingers crossed you find something (or your browsers have the plugin or whatever for Linky). Have a great weekend, hugs xXx

Iris Flavia said...

Yippee to FB! Happy weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

That was the plan, to make you smile 😊 Have a good weekend!

Sweet picture of you and your Mutti. The Calli and Ink kitties are adorable.

Maria Medeiros said...

Hello Iris! Lovely artwork! super sweet and cute. Happy Friday and wishing you a lovely weekend. Lovely funny photos. I really like the old photo you shared. Old photos make me emotional. Something about how fast time goes and missing family. Wishing you a wonderful weekend my friend!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you. Indeed I called her Mutti, whereas my Brother said Mami... And yes to b&w!

RedPat said...

Good ones, Iris. I always love Kermit and the belly bag made me laugh.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Maria. Yes, I had a chat with my Brother today, that helped a bit... I´m wishing you a wonderful weekend, too!

Christine said...

love your sweet face Iris and fun smiles, sorry about the linky hope you can get it back up. Maybe Cathy could help.

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, Kermit knows and if these bags are real I bet they work pretty 100% safe! Brrrr....

Bertiebo said...

Indeed, like Christine says: a sweet face!!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you. Oh, if the fella does not answer... I really have enough on my hands atm....

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you :-)

Spare Parts and Pics said...

LOL at the tummy bags. Yup, nobody will want to steal one of those!!

Lux G. said...

A much-needed laugh. Thank you!

Iris Flavia said...

Fool-proof, huh!

Iris Flavia said...

You are very welcome :-)

DVArtist said...

Too sweet for sure. OMGosh I love these funnies. The photo of you and your mom is so precious. Thank you for sharing with FFO.
