Island Girl

Howdy folks at Steemit. I am Joanne and live in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island with my hubby and two cats.

I like to take photos of the beauty of the earth and the wonders I see each day, especially the animals. I have written several books, enjoy cooking and photography.

A big part of who I am is a mother who lost her only child due to a vehicle accident. I have written about my son, Kevin, the premonitions beforehand, the grief and healing. I don’t know if healing is the right word for this is something always carried in the heart.

Here I am standing beside a 1938 antique car. All I need is my father’s old shotgun across my knee to feel like Bonnie (Bonnie & Clyde).:)

There was a mention on Facebook of Steemit by Elizabeth Flores @deadgrlsuppastar and it drew my interest. I am happy to be inspired by the Steemit Community, as well, share my thoughts and visions.

The first cartoon cat was Felix the Cat in 1919. In 1940, Tom and Jerry starred in the first theatrical cartoon “Puss Gets the Boot.” In 1981 Andrew Lloyd Weber created the musical Cats, based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.

So happy you found steemit! Am sure you'll love it...
I've been here for 7 months - you work hard but it's exciting and worthwhile too... Check out @qurator - see if you'll like to join.

Thanks a khoo. I would join qurator but I don’t have enough yet to pay.

@ackhoo. Darn spelling corrector, keeps changing how I type your name:)

Hello Joanne @redheadpei Welcome to Steemit I'm so glad you are here. I joined this month too and have HEAPS to learn. In fact, I have put a lot of info in the "Too Hard Basket" for the time being. My old brain freaks out when confronted with too much information. We can learn together.

So nice you are here and we can steemit together :) I know what you meant about so much Info to take in. I would not know where to start with understanding the digital currency but I am going to enter #contests and try to be involved. One day at time Trudee.

We're in the same boat Joanne. I am about to submit my 5th #sevendaybnwchallenge shortly and I see you have an wonderful black and white image at the top of your intro. I'd love to nominate you to join in this challenge but thought I'd check with you first. If you are able to confirm one way or another I will go ahead and do that. It will a great way to introduce you to others as well.

Yes that would be great Trudee. Thanks

Awesome. I had to submit my post last night so I tagged you there but wanted you to know there was no pressure and you can start whenever you like. See details on this link https://steemit.com/sevendaybnwchallenge/@trudeehunter/haughty-heron

Well welcome Joanne. I am very sorry to hear that about your son.

I see you have met a few of my friends here :). I see you take some nice pics. Ive been know to do a few clicks as well. Were is a welcome upvote. Feel free to ask any questions. Just be as interactive as you can and you will do fine.

Thanks old-guy..if I may call you this. :) for your upvote and support.

Welcome to Steemit, @redheadpei! I saw your exchange with @melinda010100 and came over to check out your page. Steemit is a complicated ecosystem, but you don't have to learn it all at once. And things change here, anyway, from time to time. So then we all have to relearn things anyway, lol. Follow the suggestions from @old-guy-photos and have fun!

And I appreciate you mentioning your son, too. Those things shouldn't happen.

I completely missed see your comment @haphazard-hstead. Nice to see you here and thanks for the welcome. Lots to learn that’s for sure.

Welcome to Steem. Do read A thumb rule for steemit minnows - 50:100:200:25 for starter tips.
Please bookmark Steem BluePaper and Steem Whitepaper and don't miss reading when you have time.
All the Best!!!

Thanks for the welcome and links @steemladder

A kitten will typically weigh about 3 ounces at birth. The typical male housecat will weigh between 7 and 9 pounds, slightly less for female housecats.

Cats eat grass to aid their digestion and to help them get rid of any fur in their stomachs.
