Enjoy Estes Park, Jude. Your sister must be feeling pretty good to be doing all that exploring! That's great!

Quiet day around here. Took a very short walk yesterday and barely made it back. A year ago 5 miles was a walk in the park. Trying hard to wrap my head around this. Counting my blessings and not drinking!

Rava, rest up!

Thanks for breakfast, ABC. I hope you made enough for Dill's camping company!

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Mulburry]

Good morning and thanks for breakfast! Beautiful day ahead.

Was a beautiful day here too, downright summery and perfect day to get out to the west side beaches on the open ocean; even with the sea breeze it was still pleasant being out in shorts and t-shirt (very unusual for this time of year here, though it's probably the last day like that for the year). Wyoming and Colorado sound like they'd be wonderful this time of year with all the fall colors Jude58 !
Anyways, happy AF Thanksgiving to all those up in canalandia!

[Jude58]

Yes Mulburry, the Fall colors are beautiful here, great time of year to visit. Estes park was fun to visit, but it was very crowded which took some of the fun out of it. Next time we won't go on a weekend, way too many people.

Ginger, sorry that you are still having knee pain and as much as you don't want to have a total knee replacement, it may be the only way that you get some relief.

24 more for all of us please...

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

[abcowboy]

It sounds like you and your sister are having a great time Jude, I bet it's helping her through this rough period in her life.

How did the camping go for your friends dill, I imagine you had more than enough breakfast for them all.

That's too bad about your knee Ginger, I know how much you love your hikes.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you as well Mulburry, we're also having some beautiful fall weather right now but the rain is supposed to settle in tomorrow for a few days.

Did your hubby decide to head to Florida to help with clean-up Rava?

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, sorry about that damned knee. Jude. I agree too many people can make things less enjoyable. Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends. Dill, I hope your camping trip was fun. Cowboy, Mr R didnt need to go because the damage was removed by the condo landscaping people. I am hearing rumblings of another Hurricane called Nadine. I am trying to just pretend like I didnt really hear that. OK wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you

[dill]

Belated happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Canadian friends and partners in sobriety! Mul, I hope you enjoyed that last hurrah from the weather. I for one am not looking forward to the winter...

We had a wonderful time with our campers. The boys were thrilled to be able to fish in our farm pond. They caught lots of fish. The prize catch was a 15lb catfish. They are already planning their next trip to Camp Dill.

The excavator showed up yesterday and got right to work on the pond project! In just a few hours time he and Mr. D had a large patch of bentonite topped with a polyurethane sheet made specifically for pond work laid with a layer of clay on top. Now it's time to wait and see. We don't know if we had the right plan or not. It's guesswork. Fingers crossed and we shall see.

How did the fruit fly situation go, Rava? Did you get those rascals?

Thanks for the excellent breakfast, Cowboy.

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

[dill]

Cross post, Rava. WHAT?!! Nadine?! I surely hope not!

[Ginger999]

This hurricane season seems relentless! Hoping Nadine fizzles before it gets here, Rava.

Waves to all my Cafe buddies I'll take another day!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! Hope that everyone has a wonderful and sober day! I'm in for another 24 hours of freedom...

Sounds like the camping trip was a success dill, let's hope the pond repair was just as successful.

Hopefully Nadine will set her sights elsewhere Rava, or even not build into anything major.

Not much new here, just enjoying some down time after harvest.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Dill, it sounds like your family camping time was wonderful and fingers crossed that the pond will fill up with all the work Mr. D did to it! Fruit fly situation is getting better. I am now thinking they are gnats? I see them outside on the windows too. I don’t really know my insects. It’s 41 degrees outside so maybe those little buggers will die! I keep vacuuming them up and emptying the bag as well as vinegar traps which are working. Our florida community is again without power so hopefully it gets fixed soon. Half of Florida is in and out of power. We travel back in 2 weeks. Hopefully to nice weather and no further hurricanes. Still watching the Caribbean for this next disturbance. 24 more please and thank you.

[dill]

Cowboy, go ahead and enjoy your much deserved down time. You have really put in a lot of effort. I'm grateful for people like you.

Jude, your sobriety is not only a gift to you, but to your sister as well. It's wonderful that you can be so present and really with her without al getting in the middle!

Rava, I am participating in a local charity event this weekend to raise money for cancer. My granddaughter is going to help as well. But, I will be thinking of you at this event bc the event involves a walk around a large, lovely pond. But just a few weeks aga I saw a story on the local news that there has been a siting of a large alligator in the pond! Don't ask me how it got there. The news reporters didn't seem to know. So, I'll be keeping a wary eye out,...

Ginger, thinking of you and hoping your knee is not hurting. Have you found anything to help while you wait your doctor visit?

Hi Mul!

Watching the excavator the other day was really something. The man can handle that huge machine as if it was just an extension of his body. What an artist! I wish you all could have seen him in action.

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

[Ginger999]

Dill, it's incredible what those guys can do with heavy equipment! I love watching them.

Rava, will you postpone leaving if the weather doesn't cooperate? We are trying to decide when to leave, ourselves. Wish I were more excited!

My knee feels better. I'd give it 70%. Hoping if I can get the injection, it buys me a little more time. This sedentary lifestyle has given me time to learn new sewing techniques. Lol

Hi ABC and Jude!

I'll take another day of freedom!
