~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Ginger999]

Starting to wrap things up around here! I'll take another day

[Jude58]

24 more please...

[Slo]

Are you in the Pacific Northwest now, Jude?

Sorry, but I can’t get into this Tony Robbins stuff. I’m just not a groupie; never have been.

Well, having my brother teach me (refresh me) on euchre has paid off! He has invited me out for corned beef & cabbage dinner tomorrow! Mostly, I like that he trusts me enough as a family member to reach back out (having been burned by family, like the way Mother treated him, leaves one not trusting and isolating).

I just found out that my next door neighbor is alcoholic and is in detox now for a week, and then is going to rehab for four weeks. Per her daughter, she found out this summer that she has cirrhosis. Thus, the determination to quit. Well, that explains why I notice that she has a slight tremor.

And so on that note, I will stay AF for the next 24 hours!

I just realized I haven't been on here for a bit, sometimes I'm busy during the Witching Hour (watching lot's of hockey, haha) but sometimes I just forget. Anyways, all is reasonably well here, back in Vancouver spending some time with my brother.

It's -16C (3F) here this morning and I'll be headed out to shovel the last of the snow we got yesterday. I was out twice yesterday and will finish it up this morning, about 10" all told I think. I'm definitely getting my exercise in lol.

I've just been thinking how "wintery" the weather has been down here lately, but certainly nothing like that (coolish but still above 0 and lot's of rain), you must feel like you're right back in the thick of it. It's a little depressing when you get a hint of spring (here daffodils and cherry blossoms are already coming out) and then you backslide again. Hopefully it's only a matter of time until we get some real spring weather again.

Good to see you Mulburry, and glad to know things are humming along for you. Spring does come in fits and starts, that's for sure. We have been having a sweet stretch of some very nice, warm weather, but tonight we have to bring in our hibiscus because we are due for a freeze. At least we won't be shoveling, like Cowboy!

Slo, that's really great news about your brother's invite. Enjoy! And thank you for sharing the cautionary tale of your neighbor. It could so easily have been any one of us.

Greetings Ginger, Jude, Cowboy and Rava.

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

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

[abcowboy]

I've got some breakfast ready...

[abcowboy]

We've been having our typical spring weather Mulburry, lots of melting, then snow, more melting, then a bit more snow again lol.

Sounds like your brother is reaching out to you Slo and wants to spend time with you. Maybe he needs a family connection to feel wanted again. Sorry to hear about your neighbor, hopefully she'll come out ahead at the end of this.

Got a date set to head back north Ginger? Bet you can't wait to see the family!

Waves to all the rest of the crew on a peaceful Sunday, have a good one!

[Jude58]

Slo, I'm in Wyoming now visiting my sister. On Wednesday we are leaving here for our road trip to Florida and will get there on Saturday. Sister's road trip! So glad that your brother is reaching out to you and letting you into his life a bit more. Hopefully, over time you can build a trusting relationship with him.

Thanks for breakfast cowboy! Yummy!

24 more for all of us please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe and thanks for breakfast cowboy. The bacon was spectacular! Jude, I got mixed up and thought you were already in Florida. Well safe travels this week from Wyoming to Fl. Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday with no boozy thoughts! 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Thanks for brekkie, ABC! If weather permits we will start our trek home on the 26th.

Jude, safe travels on Wednesday and have so much fun. Hey Mul, great to see you. Slo, enjoy your time with bro and family.

Hey Dill and Rava I'll take another day!

[Slo]

Thanks for a hearty breakfast, Cowboy!

We awoke to snow today here. Brrr. I turned the heat up like a couple of you had recommended. I just can’t stay warm in here.

Hopefully you’re adjusting to the Western time zone, Jude -before you switch it up again!

Enjoyed the hearty meal and the time out at my brother’s house. I went with my twin sister. I have been so pumped that she seems to be finally AF! I was even thinking I’d like to invite her to live with me! …then, true to form, she got into the Guinness that my brother was drinking. So, I have to accept that she is still a drinker and will always be a drinker. I’m so bummed. I won’t live with her anymore under those circumstances. Been through that before.
Young Daughter came by for dinner & cards too! -and touched base with her cousins and uncle. She is on Spring Break now from college.

Hi to all!

[Rava]

Good morning and happy Monday. I am heading out early today to work at a volunteer breakfast. Hope everyone has a great day. 24 more please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

Sounds like you had an enjoyable time Slo even if your twin sister and brother are still drinking. You're still a reminder to them that they can quit drinking as well if they really want to.

The 26th. isn't that far away Ginger, have you guys thought anymore about selling your place in Arizona?

Have a great day y'all!
