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

[abcowboy]

I've got breakfast ready for y'all

[abcowboy]

Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound Ginger!

Do you use a live trap dill so as to release it after you've caught it? Hopefully the cat stays away from the trap lol.

Let's all have a peaceful Sunday everyone! Bubba and I are off to a fund raising dance this afternoon, going to kick up our heals a bit lol.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Thanks again for a great breakfast Cowboy. Dill, I hope you catch your critter! Ginger, so glad you checked in and said you were settled back home. It is so much involved in closing up one place and opening another not to meantion the grocery shopping etc. Slo, glad you had a good day yesterday but I hope you don’t raise the flag yet. Hanging out with the grands is fun for you. Cowboy, hope you have a good day at the fundraiser. Hi To Jude and Mul! Yesterday at the farmers market I found some amazing pickles. Sweet and hot. She gave me a sample pickle and I was in love. Bought a large jar of them. No plans for today. Hope everyone has a wonderful and sober Sunday. 24 more please and thanks.

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe. Still battling this disease, so keeping my posts short. Can't wait to feel better.

24 more please...

[dill]

Such a beautiful and colorful breakfast, Cowboy! You get an A+ on presentation. And yes, we use a live trap which is why I hope to catch it soon. I've kept Pumpkin cooped up in a small barn room where we keep our fishing gear while waiting to catch the possum. Unfortunately, another night went by with no success. We aren't sure what our next move is, but' I'll keep you posted. Have fun at the dance!

Jude, I sure wish you could shake that thing!

Rava, those pickles sound delicious! I love both sweet pickles and dill pickles too. I'd sure like to try the sweet/hot pickles you mentioned.

Hi Ginger, hope you, Mr. G and Cyrus are settling back in nicely.

Hi Slo, and Mul.

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

[Slo]

It’s raining “cats & dogs” here!

Ugh, I caught a cold from my grandson. He gave me a full, wet, kiss on the mouth before I could stop him, and directly infected me. Thankfully I’m not as sick as Jude is.

[Ginger999]

Jude, thinking of you!! Hoping to hear you're turning the corner. How much longer are you in Florida?

ABC, thanks for breakfast! Have fun at the dance.

Slo, sorry you picked up that bug! Dang. Hopefully, it's a quick one.

Rava, I've had that type of pickle and I swear, I could sit and eat the whole jar!

Dill, maybe you'll catch the possum today. What do you bait the trap with? Possum have some great qualities when they aren't beating up our cats! Turds

Greetings, Mul. I'm sure happy to be back in the PNW!

My favorite "little" sis came out yesterday and gave me a much needed haircut and in return, I did her taxes. I got the better deal! Lol

We are about 90% settled. Yay. I'll take another day of freedom!

[Mulburry]

Possums and bobcats, oh my! That would be scary to encounter a bobcat while walking a dog.

Bobcats are quite small aren't they? I've never seen one in the wild but have seen a Lynx and believe they are quite similar. I don't think it would scare me at all (though I could understand if you have a small dog or cat)... a cougar on the other hand...
We don't have possums here luckily. Lot's of racoons around these parts but they don't seem to create too many problems (as long as you have your trash properly locked up, haha).

Finally a nice sunny spring-like day again here! Was very pleasant getting out and shooting a hockey ball around with a friend and his kids (I hadn't had a hockey stick in my hand since before covid, I didn't realize how much I missed it), and getting a bit of a walk in afterwards.

[Jude58]

We also have Bob cats where I live, but I've only seen one once. Apparently they are quite shy and elusive which explains why you rarely see them..

Dill, hope that you can evacuate the possum and get pumpkin some peace of mind. Poor cat!

Feeling a little better so far today, but having trouble breathing due to the high humidity here. I have COPD which really flared up after I caught this nasty virus. Hopefully today will be better!

Hope that everyone has a wonderful day.

24 more please...

[Rava]

Good Monday Morning Cafe, Jude I am so sorry that you are still feeling like crap. This humidity and hot temperatures will not help. Hope you can just stay in the AC. Ginger, I am glad that you are settling back into your routine. Taxes vs haircut sounds good to me. Great way to use both of your skills. Mul, glad you got to play some hockey yesterday. Slo, sorry your grandson made you sick. They are little walking germs for sure!!! Dill, Hope you catch that possum soon!!! Monday is upon us. I am going to do my best to make it a good and sober week. No booze in this house. I can not even have anything in here because I will think about it all day and end up drinking it. Waking up guilty and sweating and depressed all day. I need to remind myself of this every single time I think about drinking. 24 more please and thank you..

5:21am in Alberta, another 24 please, and thanks...

I'm not a big fan of sweet pickles Rava, but since I like spicey foods I'd give those a try.

Hopefully you'll be better and better as the days pass Jude.

Spring colds aren't much fun Slo, but they seem to be around more this time of year.

I don't remember the last time I've had my skates on or held a hockey stick Mulburry, but it's been years.

I'm almost due for a haircut as well Ginger, but I'll wait till the weather warms up a bit more.

I don't imagine Pumpkin like being kept in the small room dill, so I hope the trapping doesn't take too long.

Had lots of fun yesterday at the dance, and got to visit with some new and old friends as well.

[Slo]

I’m trying to make cookies, but getting so lightheaded and knee & foot hurting that I have to go lie down.

Jude, that’s too bad that you’re stuck indoors while in Florida. Well, at least during the heat of the day; maybe in the evenings you can get outside some.

You did your sister’s taxes, Ginger? That sounds like a pain! You must be good at it.

Thankful that you had a good time at the fundraiser dance, Cowboy.

And Mul; glad you found an opportunity to play some hockey once again!

Rava, definitely keep booze out of your place. Your husband you say doesn’t drink regularly, so just keep it out. You don’t need that temptation.

I get to pick my grandson up from daycare later today.
