~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

I'm in for another 24 hours...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Slo, Fingers crossed that the condo will sell quickly. Maybe that couple with cold feet will come right back. I am hoping for the best! Grandsons spent the night and all worked out well. No problems and we had a good time. We watched a movie and had popcorn which made everyone happy and caught 2 crabs on the dock. We have them today until after lunch. Hope everyone has a great day! 24 more please and thanks.

Jude, I see you are still struggling with your loss. I hope it will ease up in the next few days. But I definitely know what you are going through and you have my deepest sympathy.

Mul, I live in southwestern Ohio and I think you are right that we have more issues with ticks out this way. I'm not sure why. Mr. D had one crawling on him yesterday as he sat in his chair reading on his laptop!! Very disconcerting. The hay never got mowed until 2 days ago and I think it's part of the problem. The dog runs everywhere even though I might caution her about the ticks being in the high grass. She simply doesn't care! LOL Of course she is treated and the ticks and fleas are not a problem to her. I was thinking about asking my doc if I could take the dogs meds....

Rava, I'm going to get that light board for sure. Thanks for the tip! Ginger, Mr. D has magnifiers that he uses for his electronic work, and he gladly lets me use them. He has two sets. They rest on the crown of the head and flip up and down as needed. I use them for sewing these days on the rare occasions that I sew. I will use them for the diamond art.

Slo, please don't distress yourself about your condo selling. I somehow feel like it will work out just fine. And worry won't help one way or the other!

Techie, hope to see you soon so we can start on your first bullet point!

Coffee's on everyone. Waiting for Cowboy to work his magic.

24 more, please an thank you.

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

[abcowboy]

I'm right behind you dill with the breakfast...

[abcowboy]

Y'all know what? No matter what we have going on in our lives, good or bad....not today...

I'm enjoying a relaxing weekend, hope every is as well!

[Ginger999]

Mul, we have ticks here, east of the Cascades. On the west side hardly any due to all the rain. Everyone, if you've never been to Washington state, you should. It's such a diverse state and an outdoorsman (or woman) paradise! We've got about everything, from mountains to desert to ocean! That sounded like a vistor center commercial.

Slo, those people's feet may warm back up! I'm confident it will sell.

Jude, thinking of you and your loss. Have you heard from your Sister?

Rava, that sounds like so much fun with your grands. How were the crab?

ABC, a well deserved relaxing weekend! Thanks for breakfast!

Dill. Do you know where Mr D got his glasses? I might try a pair.

Off to gg-daughter's second bday party. Her Mom requested an elephant to hang on her bedroom wall so that's what I did yesterday. I don't like his little eyes but my gdaughter picked these eyes so they stay!

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Slo]

I am very worried about this condo selling. A showing just occurred; if they aren’t interested then I need to pull out -if the seller of the other condo will gracefully let me out without expecting the exorbitant amount of earnest money that she requires. The market has cooled quite a bit around here.

I went over to D2’s house last night to hang out with son-in-law’s visiting family. It was comforting, and lots of good food. I hate being alone.

D3 and D4 both called today! D4 is having a marvelous time in Europe! So far they have done Amsterdam and Paris, and they will be leaving for Switzerland tomorrow.

Sounds like a perfect time with the grandsons, Rava.

Nice elephant, Ginger! I agree that Washington is an amazing state.

Still a massive heat wave here.

Hi folks. So Costa Rica. We went back to Rythmia (our second trip) to support a friend who was presenting a weeklong program there. We attended four plant medicine ceremonies which elicited many spiritual insights and some healing of unresolved issues. The Christ consciousness was very much with us, et al. My wife did have a negative issue during the second night, which was quite frightening at first. Fortunately, this resolved on the fourth night (all nighter) and she is willing to go back with me sometime in early 2026. If anyone is interested and wants to discuss in more detail please PM me. Blessings x

Ah ya that makes sense then.
You could say the same about BC, I think they're fairly similar. I have been to Wash a bit throughout the years, but outdoorsy stuff have more explored the coast area (some of the Islands and beautifual Wash/Oregon coast)... except for Sasquatch Music Festival at the Gorge which is certainly some beautiful Canyon country!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe. Sorry for the short posts, it's hard to get motivated to do anything lately. 24 more please...

[dill]

Jude, I know the feeling of having a hard time getting engaged and motivated. Hoping you feel better soon.

Ginger, Mr. D has had those magnifiers since prehistoric times and doesn't recall where he bought them. But here is a link to one on Amazon that will give you an idea what I am talking about and also an idea what search terms might help you in your quest. Amazon.com: Headband Magnifier, Professional Double Lens Head-Mounted Loupe Jewelry Magnifier, Reading Visor Opitcal Glass Binocular Magnifier with Lens Magnification-1.5X 2X 2.5X 3.5X for Repair, Crafts : Health & Household They might help you in your jewelry work. Mr. D uses his often for working on his electronic boards. I love the elephant head!

It is blazing hot here! Ugh.

Hello Mul, Techie, Cowboy, Slo and Rava.

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

[abcowboy]

4:48am in Alberta, another 24 please, and thanks...

Do you mind if I ask what happened with your dog Jude, you don't have to answer if it's too much for you to share.

Sounds like an interesting week techie, plant based medicine has been around for a long time.

Loved the elephant wall-hanging Ginger, I think the eyes look just fine.

Don't give up on your condo selling just yet Slo, it could sell at any time. Maybe you could get an extension on the closing date for the new condo?

Sounds like you had a great time with the g-kids Rava, it m6st be nice having them close to you now.

What kind of electronic boards does Mr D work on dill? Adam's new job is testing and repairing printed circuit boards.

Waves to Mulburry, sounds like you spend lots of time out hiking and such.

[Ginger999]

Slo, I'm not recalling what state you're in but can't you purchase contingent on yours selling? Most offers are written that way around here. Just curious.

Mul, I think BC is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. Was that festival at the Gorge Amphitheater? If so, isn't that an incredible venue? I've enjoy a few concerts there.

Jude, I feel your pain and I'm hoping today brings you a little peace.

Thanks for the link, Dill! I'll go check them out.

Techie, I'd definitely like to hear more about your trip to Costa Rica. My son and dil leave on 7/10 for CR. They are house shopping. They've visited many times and have decided that's where they want to retire some day.

ABC, how are you adjusting to your new chompers? Do you notice any loss in taste when eating? Again, curious.

The two year old's party was a success! Tons of kids. It was held at my son's home. His wife is literally the perfect host, wife, mom, gmom. I'm always in awe of her. Their place is perfect for a kid's party. Pool, trampoline, sandbox, etc. My sisters and I are taking the littles out today to hang there for the afternoon. There's going to be three tired old ladies tonight! Lol

I finished the monkey! I'll take another day of productive freedom!
