~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[abcowboy]

I remember when I drove charter bus Rava, there was always lots of drinking on the bus. It usually didn't get out of hand though unless it was a college student trip or a pub crawl.

Hope your neck is better today Peachie, I can get one as well if I sleep on my pillow when it's folded, makes for an unpleasant day. How is your sister feeling today?

Anytime a puzzle has a bunch of one color makes it more difficult and frustrating Jude, just keep at it and the pieces will fit in eventually.

Waves to the rest of the gang!

Not today...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Yesterday was a 12 hour trip from start to finish. Such a great time. Lots of fun and laughter. All women. One thing that very very prominent is the amount of drinking on that bus. The women had lots of alcohol flowing. I was not tempted at all and was rather surprised at how many were drinking. Puts a whole new perspective on bus trips. I am just mad at myself that I can not participate because I am not responsible. I wonder how many of them are responsible. Anyway. Jude, so glad you are planning a trip. I am sure that will keep your thoughts occupied other than a white snow puzzle. LOL. Ginger, glad you are safely home and looking forward to your sisters visit. Dill, hope you get that hemoglobin level up. Once it comes back your energy level will hopefully improve. Cowboy, Bubba is lucky that you get her a card and gift. We don’t do that but it’s ok. I am used to it by now. Peachie, i hope you make it to your bed tonight as you dont need to add to your neck issues. I hope your sister is ok. Today is mahjong so I am happy to have something to do. 24 more please and thank you.

Hi everyone. Fell asleep on the couch again last night. LOL. It's getting to be a regular occurrence lately. My neck is sore tho.

Jude, a snow filled puzzle? Omg noooo.

Rava, I love thrift shops. We call them Op Shops over here. I can get lost for ages in them. Have found some doozy deals too. Best pair of boots I've ever found.

My elder sister has just called me from A & E . She has not been well since Wednesday with dizziness and vomiting. She is 500 ks away and lives on her own since her hubby died. Anyway I've offered to fly up there ASAP if she needs me to. She is 77yrs. Very independent woman but has had some stresses lately.

Sorry, just a bit distracted tonight. I'm sure she will be ok. Will let you know tommorow.

Night night.

Dill, I'm about half way through the puzzle that I got for Christmas. It's a snow scene so there are a lot of white pieces which can be overwhelming and I tend to get frustrated. Maybe next time I'll find an easier puzzle. 🙂

Ginger, that's wonderful about your sister's upcoming visit and I'm sure that both of you will have a great time. I do miss my sisters and I wish that they lived closer.

Cowboy, Mr. J and I don't exchange gifts or cards on Valentine's day but we usually go out to a nice restaurant to celebrate the holiday.

Rava, hope that you had fun on your thrift shop adventure. It's great that you have so much to do in Florida, and it must keep you pretty busy.

Waves to Peachie, Mul and Al!

Not today...

Glad you made it back safe and sound, Ginger!

I look forward to hearing how your bus trip went, Rava. I'll bet it was lots of fun. Did Mr. R go too or is thrift store shopping not his thing?

Bubba is a lucky gal, Cowboy!

Jude, I've been low energy lately too, but my hemoglobin count is a bit low, so maybe that's why. I just had some labs done earlier this week. But, it could just be the cabin fever. Spring weather could be just the ticket!

Hiya, Peachie!

Hey Mul and E3!

Closing in on the end of the puzzle project. I haven't stopped to count the pieces remaining, but I'd estimate we are 90% of the way to completion. It's been a really great winter pass time for the two of us!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Greetings all! Made it back safe and sound. Little sis will be here in two weeks. Can't wait to see her!

Rava, have a great time today! Jude, your trip sounds amazing. It's so fun to have a trip to look forward to.

Hi Peachie, Dill, ABC and Mul.

Not today!

[abcowboy]

Hope you got home safe and sound Ginger and I'd say your knee is coming along just fine. I'll get you'll reach your goal sooner than you think.

Enjoy the thrifting and visiting today Rava, you ladies will probably fill that bus with all the buying you do lol.

I don't get out and about much in the winter Peachie and it does get to me after a while. It's much better when winter's over and there's lots to do outside.

Glad to hear your sister id doing so good Jude, and I'll bet she's just as excited about the get together in August as well.

We'll be a long time before we see our snow gone dill, as a matter of fact it sounds like we have lots of snow coming next week again.

Probably just watch some Olympics this morning then I'll go out this afternoon to get a Valentine's card and gift for Bubba. Hard to believe we're almost halfway through February already!

Good morning Cafe. Safe travels home today Ginger! I am off for the bus trip. Will let you know about it tomorrow. 24 more please and thank you!

[Jude58]

Cowboy, yes it's my sister that had cancer and she's doing great! She has found a beautiful house on the beach in Cape Cod and we are renting it for a week in August. I can't wait!

Yes Peachie, I know exactly how you feel. It's hard to get motivated on most days and I tire so easily. I know that part of the problem is due to living in a cold and snowy area and I'm hoping that I'll have more energy when the warmth of Spring finally gets here.

Rava, have fun on your thrift shop adventure today. It sounds like you have a pretty active life down there in Florida and I think that it's great. You definitely have no trouble staying busy!

Waves to Ginger, dill, Mul and Al!

24 more please...

[Ginger999]

Peachie, I'll be 70 soon and I definitely understand what you're saying! While I was down with my bad knee, all I wanted to do was veg and isolate. I'm starting to feel more like myself but I have a way to go before I'm back and at 70, I may never see 100 percent again. Shooting for 90 percent.

ABC, hubby takes care of his dinner these days, which includes meat. He got into the habit and likes it so who am I to take away his enjoyment! Lol

Jude, I'm glad you're planning your trip to the Cape. Doesn't having something to look forward to improve your mood? It sure does mine!

We got in another hike yesterday. My new goal is 5 miles but I doubt I reach that before summer. Baby steps with these knee replacements!

Dill, enjoy that warmer weather! Hi Rava and Mul.

Headed back today. Its been a great trip. Cyrus has been a good boy. I love that cat so much! I'll join you in another day of freedom!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Hope everyone is doing well. Jude a trip to Cape Cod sounds wonderful. I have been watching You Tube on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Looks like a very expensive but interesting place. No cars on the island and right now they are getting around by snowmobile. Ginger, are you still on your little vacay? Tomorrow morning early I am leaving for a thrift store bus trip with our neighborhood. Should be a fun day with lots of ladies. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. 24 more please and thank you.

[Peachie]

Morning to you all in the Cafe. It's 8.13pm here and thought I'd jump in early before I get too tired to post. Life is good here at the moment. I've started taking a multi vitamin and my tummy has settled down and my appetite is returning. I don't know if the stroke or grief put me off kilter but it is such a relief to start feeling myself again. To be honest, I never thought I would.

I just take it day at a time now. I have found that getting older has narrowed my life big time. I used to be active and loved a challenge, learning new things and experiencing new things. I know I'm a bit older then you but are you feeling the same? I'm always googling what is life like at 74yrs. LOL. The biggest thing is lack of motivation., I go for comfort all the time!!

Anyhow I'm not giving up yet. Catching up with my eldest son, Michael on Sunday for a coffee. Looking forward to that.

Jude that is so good you are planning a trip away.

Going to watch Hidden Assets now. Hope it's good.

[abcowboy]

I didn't notice you having to get a new password dill, not even sure the steps to do that lol. Glad you got the new computer up and running though.

How is your sister doing Jude, I think you spent some time with one that had cancer?

I'll probably be watching a bit more of the Olympics Mulburry now that both men's curling and hockey are starting.

I'm glad you got a little bit of rain Peachie, I'm sure any amount helps.

Does Mr G eat meat Ginger? If so, I imagine it's not easy cooking two different meals all the time.
