To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Aww Mina! Sensational photograph! It looks so beautiful, especially with such a wonderfully warm and cozy home--the fire place in the background seems so inviting! :) A very special moment indeed, and thank you for sharing this....... Your kitties seem like they'd make a great team with my 4...... doggies, that is :) hehe.... hugs

Yep, I love the kitties! Our two cats really keep us hopping (mostly to let them in or out LOL), but they sure are fun. I can't imagine how we could handle FOUR of them - talk about being outnumbered LOL! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the moment!

Too bad catnip doesn't work on Humans...world leaders could definitely do with some. Great image! As a cat lover no longer surrounded by cats, it's great to see this! They look so content, so LAZY...but then, cats are good at that. Great shot!

Global regulation of catnip began with the stigmatization of stoned cats and catnip dens ... or somethin' like that. Excellent work dearest Mina. HUGS
