~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

Oh Jude, my condolences on the loss of your dog. The suddenness must make it really hard to process. My heart goes out to you.

Jod, Thank you for the assistance. I used the link and placed an order for the diamond art to try out with my granddaughter. One for me, and one for her.

Mul, we've had an abundance this year too. But on the down-side, we seem to have an abundance of ticks this year as well. Be careful out there if you are having the same! I have found 3 crawling on me in the last two weeks!

Do you all remember me mentioning a doe hanging close to the house and barn recently that we thought had given birth? Well, we finally saw the young and there were twins! She is still in the vicinity but ranging a little further now that they are more able to get around.

Waves to Cowboy, Rava, Ginger, and Slo.

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

Good morning Cafe. Techie it sounds like you have been very busy. I wonder if I have read any of Mrs. Techies books. Glad you both were ok after your accident. Jude, I am so sorry about your dog. They are like family and it’s so hard to part with them. Slo I am very excited for your new condo. I bet it is full of light. I know your current condo does not bring you any joy. I hope it all works out for you. Ginger and Dill, the diamond painting is fun. I have had cataracts removed and use reading glasses and a little light pad under my work so I can see it better. Light pads are cheap less than 20.00 and really help bring out the canvas to make it easier to see. I am feeling good this week and starting to do new and different things in the evenings to keep the boozy thoughts out of my brain. Our neighborhood is in full swing so after dinner we have been taking our golf cart down to the pond with our kindles and reading for about an hour in the quiet. Grandsons spending the night tonight. Tomorrow will be 1 week booze free. My thoughts this week have not been full of shame and remorse and my general attitude is definitely improved. I will concentrate on the positives! Hope everyone has a great Saturday. 24 more please and thank you!

So sad about your dog Jude, we get so attached to them and it's hard to let them go.

Great news about the new condo Slo, is it in the same neighborhood? I'm sad to say the Oilers lost out in Game 6, so the Florida Panthers are back to back Stanley Cup Champions.

Not sure what all we have for wild berries around here Mulburry except for saskatoons and chokecherries. There should be an abundance of them this year since we didn't get any late frosts this year.

Sounds like you've had a very busy year techie! If your wife writes mysteries then I've probably read a few of her books. And good to hear you both were okay after your accident.

I spend a lot of evenings reading as well Rava, it's a nice way to relax and help me sleep.

I love watching the wildlife as well dill and must be pretty cool to see the twins cavort around with their mother.

Yes, hopefully we'll get back out to the cabin next weekend Ginger, Adam is hoping that he'll have it completed by the fall.

Oh, Jude; now you have lost two dogs in quick succession! That is such a shame, and a lot to bear at once. I’m so sorry.

I had four showings yesterday, and one is writing an offer. I hope they don’t lowball me!

[Ginger999]

Good luck, Slo! Around here things are selling fast and over asking. Hopefully, the same is true for your area!!

Oh, Jude...I'm so so sorry. The quickness is just horrible. My thoughts go out to you and hubby.

Techie, I'd read that book, if you wrote it! Bullet points leave me with a million questions. Come back soon! Id love to hear more.

Jod, thank you for making that change! I wonder if that setting could have anything to do with Jude58, truncating posts?? Hmmm, it makes this retired DB admin wonder

Mul, your talk of all those wild berries brings back so many memories of hiking with my boys when they were young. In the fall, we'd be knee deep in huckleberries. It was awesomely delicious and so much fun. Our dog would even pick and eat them. It was hilarious.

Dill, that back light might just be the ticket for both of us. Your granddaughter will love it. Post pics when you're done with them.

Rava, does your pond have anything in it? It sounds like a lovely place to sit and end the day AF!

ABC, next summer will be nothing but fun at the lake then? Awesome!

I'm hoping Quit wining checks in! Id love an update from him too.

its a cool cloudy day in the PNW. Perfect day for sewing a couple of things for my g-gkids rooms. Fingers crossed. Its something I've never done before!

I'll take another day of freedom!
