~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[abcowboy]

I'll bet you'll all be glad to get home Ginger after all that driving! But at least your sister got to see some amazing places.

You've still got lots of time before you leave Rava, maybe things will have improved at the airports by then and you'll be able to fly.

I used to always come up with a prank or two on April Fool's Day Jude, but haven't done anything for a few years now lol.

Sounds like the word is getting around the cat neighborhood that your place is the place to be Peachie lol. Hopefully you'll be able to book a seat and get down to see Emma this coming weekend, and on Easter no less.

Spring hasn't really arrived up here yet dill, the nights are still well below freezing and only get to around freezing during the day. There's still a lot of snow to melt away so it's definitely not going to be an early spring. The next-door neighbor said he saw a pair of geese the other day but I have yet to see one.

Off to Costco this morning to stock up on a few things that we're running out of, hopefully it won't be crazy busy with Easter weekend coming up.

[Peachie]

Evening everyone. Oh Rava id have loved to have seen that video. How cute!
Jude, goodness knows what's happening out there with the cats. Lol. Got me bamboozled that's for sure but the more cats the better I say.
Dill I have a girlfriend who comes and stays with my cats if I go away. She adores them. Only planning on a four day stay. Now my niece has let me know she will be in town for Easter and would love to catch up! Aarrgh.
Ginger hope you're home safe and sound. I once drove across Australia West to East..about 3,000klms by myself with a little camper trailer. Loved it but I don't think I could do it now.
Cowboy sure hope your weather warms up soon. Brrrr your weather literally makes me shiver.
Will let you know if I go or stay. Haha.
Our local shire had a post this morning of a big lion in one of it's rangers vans asking for the owner to come forward. April Fools Day joke. There were many hilarious replies . That's my little Winkie was one of them..Made me giggle..

Night everybody.

[Ginger999]

Made it! Place is great and HUGE after 5 months in a 5th wheel. Dill, you are right, there's no place like home!

ABC, we have a Costco trip planned, ASPA. Our cupboards are bare!

I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things quickly because I watch our great grands tomorrow for mom to get her hair done.

Sorry, but the cute kitty and friends is AI. Here's one with an AZ background. So cute though!

Peachie, I hope you get to go on your adventure. Now to decide!

I have "jet" lag from the driving. Lol Tomorrow will be better! Our new rock wall looks amazing!

Hey, Jude!

Sorry, I'm all over the place this morning! I'll take another day of freedom with you all.

[Jude58]

Good morning all!

Yesterday I heard the peepers (tree frogs) singing out back. Love the sound of them and it's a sure sign of Spring.

Ginger, I bet that you're so glad to be home. Is your sister going to stay with you for awhile or is she heading home?

Rava, so glad that your new tea habit is keeping you away from the booze. It seems as though it's easier for you to stay sober when you're up north. Keep up the good work!

Waves to Cowboy, Peachie, Mul and dill!

24 more please...

[Peachie]

Evening Cafe. Getting in before my soapie starts.
Jude, we actually have crickets that sound like frogs here. I remember when I first heard them looking around for a pond.

So glad you're home safe and sound Ginger.

Have left it too late to go away now. No Coach tickets available at all. I don't mind. Probably leave it now til after the school hols when it's less busy.

Actually had a pat with the little black kitty this morning but then it disappeared with Patches in tow.

The weather has definitely turned. Lovely cool nights but temperate days. This would be perfect all year round.

Good Friday tomorrow so wishing you all a Happy Easter filled with peace, sobriety and kindness. And chocolate!

Night.

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

[abcowboy]

That's too bad about your trip Peachie, but maybe you can get in that visit with your niece now. Hard to believe Easter is here already!

Glad your home safe and sound Ginger! What's this about a new rock wall? Your kids don't take long to get you back into babysitting duties do they lol.

It's crazy what they are doing with AI Rava, not sure what you can trust anymore to be real and not AI generated.

I don't think our frogs or gophers will be out for quite some time Jude, but I did finally see my first geese yesterday so that's a good sign that soring is just around the corner for us.

Did you get your storm yesterday dill? I'm glad I went to Costco yesterday as we're supposed to get 2 - 4" of snow tday/tonight.

Bubba is usually the one who does the grocery shopping so I don't get to see grocery prices except in the flyers that come. I sure got my eyes opened at Costco yesterday! I can't believe how much the prices have gone up, especially on coffee. I can see a decrease in my coffee drinking in the very near future.

Not today...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, yes that was the picture. Damn AI!!! Can’t believe anything anymore. I am glad you are home safely and yes I can relate to your place being so big after living in the RV. We are just the opposite going back into the tiny home. LOL. Jude, you are right about harder to stay away from booze here in Florida. It is available in every store including pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Up north you have to physically go the a beer/wine/liquor store to purchase. That definitely makes it a bit more inconvenient. Cowboy, hopefully that snow will melt soon and you will be outside in the nice warm weather. Most of our Canadian friends have left to travel home. My one friend has a 26 hour drive. OMG I am complaining about 16 hours. I will remember her as we travel north. I think we will probably have to drive because I am starting a pile of things to take north. My daughter wants my sewing machine and a few other heavy objects so we will just do it. Peachie, hope you have a good day today. Good morning to Dill and Mul. Hope everyone has a good and sober day. More mahjong for me today.

[Ginger999]

I'm a little out of sorts since getting home. I get like that after all that travel. Rava, our drive is 24 hours and I'm ready to start flying back and forth! Hubby not so much. Lol

I saw a beautiful Bald Eagle fly over yesterday. I always feel honored to see one. Jude, even though we have water all around us, we don't hear frogs. I wish we did.

ABC, we have a huge cut bank from punching out our building site. Basically a vertical dirt wall about 20 ft up to the road. Erick came in with his crew this winter and built a beautiful Boulder wall. It's gorgeous!

Peachie, I'm sorry you missed your window for your tickets but now you can have a good visit with your niece. We are going to Erick's for Easter and I'll get to see more of my babies. Yay!

Hi Dill, I can't remember. What are you guys doing for Easter?

I can't wait to see my babies today. I'll definitely need some advil. Lol My knee is great but the rest of my joints still feel 70! Lol I'll take another day!

My morning coffee view.. .

[dill]

Late check in here because of the volunteer job. It was a good day though. When I got home Mr. D and I went out for lunch at Long John Silvers. He had a hankering for deep fried fish and hush puppies. It was delicious, I must admit.

Jude, love the sound of those peepers, too!

Ginger, on Easter we are just having a family dinner and hopefully some outdoor fun, weather permitting. I bet you loved seeing that Bald Eagle! Mr. D saw a pair circling around our pond yesterday, but I wan't there to see them. I sure wish I had.

Cowboy, we got some rain, but the storm actually petered out before it got here. I was glad about that! Did you get the 2-4" of snow?

Rava, It's going to be harder and harder to believe our eyes as AI gets better and better. It makes me kind of sad.

Peachie, sorry you missed out on getting tickets, but you'll have your day!

Hi Mul.

Not today.

[Jude58]

One of the volunteers had a family emergency so I am going to the shelter this morning to help out.

24 more for all of us please...

[abcowboy]

5:21am in Alberta, 24 more for me please, and thanks...

[abcowboy]

Nice of you to cover for the other volunteer Jude, hope their family emergency doesn't turn out to be something major.

You'll have to take a pic of that wall and show us Ginger once you get the time and are settled back in. Loved the pic of your evening view!

We only got a little over an inch of snow dill so it'll be a quick clean up this morning. Now you've got me hankering some deep-fried fish lol. We'll be having some sort of fish tonight seeing as how it's Good Friday.

Waves to Peachie and Rava!

I'll get out and clear the snow early this morning as we have a Zoom get together with the kids at 9:00am. Nome of them will be over for Easter so this will be our Easter get-together.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, I remember you posted a picture of the wall when you first started. Now I guess we need a more updated one. Thanks for sharing that beautiful picture! So now you are north of where you spent your winter? I get all confused. 24 hours is horrible. I will try to stop whining about 16 hours. LOL. Jude, glad you are able to help your coworker out at the shelter today. Dill that fish sounds great! I want to head to Longhorn for a big juicy steak. Thats what I crave at times! Cowboy, Costco is so crowded here I hate going there. It’s like a parade down each aisle. I get my fill of people in there. Hi to Peachie. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Another day of community mahjong. I am leaving a set of tiles on my dining room table and play a hand or two alone. This is really helping me improve. Keeps my mind focused on other things besides alcohol. Wishing everyone a great and sober day!!

[Ginger999]

Rava, we are back in Washington with all our family now. We have it pretty easy because we all live within a half hour of each other. The greats were here all day and it was wonderful. I was exhausted but happy at the end of day! I'm fortunate that's for sure.

ABC, I'll post a wall picture soon! It's amazing but I'm sure the pic won't do it justice!

Jude, have a good day volunteering. They are lucky to have you.

Dill, your Easter sounds perfect. We will be at Erick's (my oldest) and the family. It will be great to see them all in one place!

Peachie, do you worry about the stray kitties being around yours? Just curious

Hey Mulberry, what have you been up to? Are you headed to your mom's for Easter?

Off to exercise. Hope it doesnt kill me! Lol

I'll take another day of freedom
