~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

We got our new fridge yesterday delivered and installed. It fits perfectly, has lots of space and works great! We're really happy with it.

I thought you might be having a hard time finding a gp that is covered by your insurance. That's really awful. Have you contacted your congressional rep to see if they are aware and can address the problem?

Glad you managed the heat, Cowboy, and got so much accomplished!! Adam must be really pleased.

Rava, hope you enjoyed your lunch with your daughter yesterday. Did you go anywhere special?

Jude, what perfect weather you all had! Safe travels on you way back home.

24 more for all of us please and thank you.

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

[abcowboy]

I did take a couple of pics Ginger, but haven't uploaded them from my phone yet, I'll get on that today.

Glad your fridge came and fit so well dill, it's hard to find a fridge that fits perfectly in the opening anymore.

Enjoy the last of your vacation time Jude, and have a safe trip home!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe! Ginger, hope you contact Medicare directly and ask for a list of providers in your area. (If you have not already done that). Dill, glad you like your new refrigerator. Thats awesome. My daughter and I went to a local hamburger place and split a meal then went to our favorite stores. Today my grandsons are coming over to swim and do a craft at our community center. I really love living in this little seasonal place. Such great activities for kids. I really feel that our grandchildren will remember this place long after we are gone. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. Cowboy, send some pics of that cabin. Jude enjoy your last day at the beach!

[Ginger999]

That's so great, Rava. You are right, they will remember! My older grandkids (20 years old plus) reminisce all the time about the "old days" we spent together. Makes my heart happy! I never thought about contacting medicare or our political folks. Both great ideas. Thanks!

Dill, glad your fridge was a win! Jude, safe travels. ABC, look forward to those pics.

I'll take another!

[abcowboy]

There wasn't a lot of noticeable work done this last trip, but once again we got more done than we thought we would considering the 90+ temps and the amount of cooling off breaks we took. I can't imagine hoe construction crews work all day in the heat!

[abcowboy]

5:12am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

[abcowboy]

It's breakfast time!

[dill]

Yum! What a great Sunday breakfast! It's great not to be dealing with a hangover when Cowboy has cooked up something so special! Thanks, Cowboy.

I was Just thinking about QW. I miss him popping in every now and again. Of course I miss Techie too. Hope all is well with both of them.

Nothing much going on here today. 24 more for all of us, please and thank you.

[Jude58]

I miss QW and techie as well. Hope that they are doing OK. Headed home today and it's bittersweet. Loved being at the beach, but I'm starting to miss home and it will be good to get back.

24 more please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Thanks for the great breakfast Cowboy and your little cabin is looking great!!! Jude, safe travels back today. I miss QW and Techie also. You get used to hearing from everyone daily and then it stops. I hope they are both ok. Waking up today I realize that it was exactly 1 week that I woke up with a horrible hangover. Thank God that is not the case today. Dear God, what was I thinking??? Today is gonna be a good day minus alcohol!!! 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

ABC, the tiny home looks amazing! We are still in triple digits here. Forecasting 105f today. I always say the same thing about those poor souls that have to work out in this heat. Bless them all. Thanks for breakfast!

Jude, safe travels! I'm sure it is very much bitter sweet.

Rava, I'm listening to "stop drinking easily" by Allen Carr. It's not the book I was thinking of but once I got to chapter 5 it started to sound along the same vain as the other one. You might check it out, if you're looking for a shot in the arm. This passage has stuck with me, "You wouldn't purposely ingest arsenic would you? Then why do you drink alcohol, which is also poison?". He also says we can't stop for long using only willpower. We must change our thinking around AL. It can no longer be an old friend we miss but an enemy we hate. (I'm totally paraphrasing here) It's been a good listen for me anyway.

Dill, I miss QW and Techie too. Wish they'd both just stop by for a second.

My great-grand's daddy came home from a work trip sick with covid. Hoping he feels better today and the rest don't get it. He said it's awful.

Off to walk before the heat climbs. I'm glad I have lots of fun inside things to do inside. Lol I'll take another!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! Cowboy, the cabin looks like it's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product!

It's good to be home again, but I do miss the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach. While I was away, I pretty much unplugged myself from tv and the Internet. It was really quite refreshing. I noticed that a lot of the people I was with spent most of their time scrolling the internet on their phones. I guess that it's just another form of addiction, and I sure don't want any part of it.

24 more please...

[dill]

It's scary how much people have become addicted to their smart phones, myself included. I'm glad I didn't have this to deal with when I was a parent and I feel for parents and teachers trying to navigate these rough waters with their children and students. I am so addicted to my phone that I am ashamed to admit that there are times that I can't even get through Sunday morning Mass without pulling my phone out and checking for something!

I got an email today telling me there is a meeting to plan the Auxiliary Christmas Bazaar on Aug. 9. Apparently I missed the first meeting which was in July. But I never got a notice about that one. It seems so crazy to be planning a November event in the heat of summer! But that is what it takes. I'm concerned about some of the murmurings I have been hearing about our local hospital. It may possibly be closing it's doors in the near future! I may be joining you, Ginger, in the healthcare desert.

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

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, thanks for the info about the audio book. I am going to my app today and look for it. Jude, glad you are safely home. Dill, I am also addicted to my phone and ipad. Both are constant companions. It’s better than booze. Dental appt today to get my broken tooth fixed. I am signing up for a dentist up here since I live in both places. Looks like clouds and possibly rain today. We crabbed all day yesterday and caught about 6. Set up our lawn chairs with those little attachable umbrellas and literally sat on the pier reading and crabbing all day. What a great day! 24 more please and thank you.
