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

[abcowboy]

Yep dill, got out to the farm yesterday and all was good except for the icy roads and lane due to the freeze/thaw weather we've been having. Heat was working in both the pumphouse and shop, and no mice in the trapline in the camper lol.

Bubba's mom has macular degeneration as well Ginger, but from what I understand there are two types "wet" and "dry". There is no real treatment for the kind she has other than special vitamins that only slow down the progression. Glad Mr G can get something to help his.

I just had a look at our weather forecast Jude, we have a winter warning in effect. We're supposed to have freezing rain starting late this afternoon turning into snow tonight with 10 - 12" expected by late Sunday afternoon with high winds along with it. Looks like maybe the snowblower will get it's first use of the season.

[Ginger999]

ABC, Hubby's is wet. It started dry and he took vitamins for a long time and the docs watched it closely. A couple years ago, it turned to wet and the injections began. They are working well because it is back to dry now but protocol is to continue injections, so he goes back end of January. He's lost so much vision in that eye and that will not improve and can't be corrected with glasses. Sad!

it's the craft fair here today. I didn't get a table this year. Wasn't feeling it. Too people-y for me right now. Hoping instead to take an easy desert stroll.

Waves to all my pals! I'll take another day of freedom!

[Mulburry]

Alligators, cool!

I don't mind a little snow shoveling either, here or there. I'm glad this current system isn't coming down as snow though, it's been raining cats and dogs since yesterday evening, and if it was all snow we'd probably have 3 or 4 feet by now.

[Jude58]

Yep cowboy, sounds as though you will definitely need to pull out the snowblower if you're expecting almost a foot of snow. Tis the season I guess.

Ginger, there are several holiday craft shows going on in our area today, but I just can't seem to find the motivation to go. I agree with you in that sometimes they are too people-y. Love that word; says it all.

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Jude and Ginger, I had a craft show written on my calendar for yesterday but in the end I also decided it was too "people-y" for me. (good word) I didn't go. I hope they did well. I had in mind to go to a particular jewelry lady whose things I like. It always makes me think of you, Ginger, although your jewelry is much different and more unique to you. That's what's wonderful about these craft shows. The craftsmen and craftswomen and their creativity!

Mul and Cowboy, I was covering my ears so as not to hear all your talk of SNOW!

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

Breakfast time folks...

[abcowboy]

Bubba's mom has the dry type Ginger so it's only vitamins for her. Her eyesight is deteriorating but at a pretty slow rate so that's a good thing.

There's lots of Christmas craft fairs going on around here as well. I think Bubba only went to one and didn't see anything she wanted so came home empty handed. We got the freezing rain they predicted, it was pretty light and only lasted for about an hour before it turned into snow. From what I can see out there in the dark we didn't get near the snow they thought we would but it's still snowing and not supposed to quit till around lunchtime. Not sure how slippery it will be under the snow with the freezing rain but sure glad we don't have to be out on the highway today.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe and thanks for the great omelette Cowboy. I bet the snow is beautiful! I will be curious to see how much you ended up with. Glad it’s not as bad as predicted! Ginger, sounds like Mr. G is keeping good management of his eye. I am backwards on your winter home. You go south from your normal home or north? Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Mr R and I are enjoying watching Landman together. It’s on Paramount plus if anyone is interested. We have no exciting plans today but maybe take a bike ride. Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing Sunday. 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Rava, our home and all our family are up north in central WA. I miss home this time of year but I'll be fine once Christmas is past and little sis gets down here. I have a lovely small group of (non-drinking) women I hang out with here so I'm thankful for that.

Thanks for breakfast, ABC. Waves to all my pals!

Busy day around here; best get at it. I'll take another day of freedom

[Jude58]

I was at a meeting the other day and someone introduced themselves as a "grateful recovering alcoholic". I don't know why, but those words seem so fitting. Now whenever I get the urge to drink I see myself in a state of healing so why would I sabotage that process? Anyway I'm rambling on and have to get ready for work.

No booze for me today!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Happy Monday. Thanks for clearing it up for me Ginger. Wishing everyone a safe and sober day! 24 more please and thank you!

[dill]

Jude you should ramble like that whenever you like! I found your post uplifting and it gave me the nudge i needed for today. Hope you have a good day at work.

Rava, I am a huge Billy Bob Thornton fan. Glad you and Mr. R are enjoying the series.

Cowboy, thanks for that awesome breakfast!

Ginger, I envy you your lovely group of non-drinking women. That's a great support for you, I'm sure. Do you all ever talk about it or are they just naturel non-drinkers?

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