~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Slo]

My baby is here!! Young Daughter has come home from college for Easter weekend, and is staying with me last night and tomorrow. My heart is full!

I am enjoying the increased birdsong too.

D2’s surrogate lives far away in Florida. The clinic is in Las Vegas, Nevada; so she will fly there to be with her surrogate during the transfer procedure.

No wonder your granddaughter needed help with buying & planting flowers, Ginger!

I love it that you & Mr. D took the time to enjoy your property together, Dill.

I agree: let’s all have a day of freedom & calm!

ABC, all my family lives close by. It's fantastic but keeps me a little too busy sometimes. Going to gdaughter's to watch the littles while she works today. This might be her last day for awhile. Fingers crossed! The 5th wheel is still here. I'll probably consign it with camping world.

Slo, enjoy your visit with young daughter. What is she studying?

Dill, your place sounds lovely. Post a pic, if you wouldn't mind.

Jude, are you all settled back in?

Better get going. Let's all have a great and easy day of freedom.

Slo, so glad that your daughter is there to keep you company and boost your spirits. It sounds like just what you needed!

Dill, we also have a creek that runs through our property. It's so peaceful to sit next to it and listen to the water as it tumbles over the rocks. Even though my house isn't much, I feel incredibly lucky to live in this area with so much beauty surrounding me.

Ginger, yes I am finally settled back in and it feels so good to be home!

The peepers (tree frogs) are singing loudly and it sounds amazing; yet another sign of Spring.

Waves to all!

I'm ready for another 24 hours of freedom!

5:20am in Alberta, I'll have 24 more please, and thanks...

In the last 24 hours, these friends have joined in for 24 hours of wellness:

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

That's great that your daughter will be with you for some of the weekend Slo! Enjoy your time with her.

That's what I call dedicated to your job Ginger, going to work when you're expecting a baby any day!

Creeks and ponds sound so much better than concrete and asphalt, country living is hard to beat!

Ginger, your wish is my command. This is Lily cooling off in the creek next to a bed of cress.

This is the gorge the water come down from. I didn't venture in, but this gives you a general sense. It's what we see when we sit in our chairs that we leave out by the gorge. I wish I could play the sound of the water, but I haven't figured a way to include short video.

I have a busy day ahead of fun and meal prep. It's supposed to rain tho, so looks like we'll have to be inside.

24 more hours of freedom for all of us and anyone else who needs it, please and thank you.

Good morning Cafe. Hope everyone is having a good saturday so far. We went crabbing yesterday at the river and caught 2 keepers. Fun day with neighbors cooking sausage and eggs on the grill. The traffic is getting lighter as more and more people are heading north. We have 3 weeks left before we head north. Wishing everyone a good and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

[Rava]

Cross post. Dill that is absolutely beautiful!!!

We did it again, Rava! We hit the 'post reply' button at the exact same moment! Sausage and eggs on the grill sounds yummy!

[Slo]

Your property is truly beautiful, Dill!
I think I am hearing peepers around here too, Jude.
Do you cook the crabs, Rava?

It went to a botanical type gardens yesterday with three daughters, their friend and her little daughter & husband, and 4 grandchildren. Then over to D2’s for lunch.
It was kind of exhausting with my illness. Young Daughter was overstimulated and over it with too many little kids, so we spent the rest of the day watching TV and reading.
I have been a real bore for her. But she is pale & tired and needing to rest too after a busy week at college, so hopefully I am not dragging her down.

I am glad that you are all enjoying nice weekends, and out in your beautiful nature environments.

Double-smoked ham sounds delicious, Cowboy. The ham my brother smoked for Christmas was amazing.

[Ginger999]

Wow, Slo! That was a full day. Hope you two can rest up so young daughter goes back refreshed!

Dill, that area is gorgeous beyond words and Lily is beautiful. I'm afraid I'd have to crawl up in that hole a ways just to see what I could see. Lol Thank you for sharing with us.

Jude, can we see your creek next? :~)

Rava, are you excited to be headed north? I bet those crab were delicious!

Hey ABC and Mul!

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Happy Easter cafe!

Dill, your property looks gorgeous, and so is Lily!

Rava, I know what you mean about the traffic in Florida as it was pretty heavy while I was there. I bet that you won't miss that!

Waves to all!

24 more for all of us please...

[abcowboy]

5:21am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...
