~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe!

Dill, thanks for the recipe, it looks like a good dish to have during the cold winter months and I'll definitely try it out.

Mr. J's niece is staying with us for a few days and it's nice to have some extra help around the house. I think that today she and Mr. J are going to tackle the weeds in the garden.

Slo, when I broke my ankle a couple of years ago I bought a knee scooter. They sell them at Wal-Mart or most pharmacies, and it was a lifesaver for me. I'm not sure what the set up is in your condo, but for obvious reasons you can't do stairs with it. I mostly used it when I had to leave the house for things such as running errands or going to the store. Just a thought...

Twenty four more for all of us please...

You piqued my curiosity with the mention of a knee scooter, Jude. I currently have no need of one, thank goodness, but I looked on the walmart website to see one and that definitely looks like a good option and much preferable to crutches.

Is it already Sunday again! My how the week flew! I'll get the coffee going and maybe some scones as well...

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

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

[abcowboy]

Thanks for getting the coffee and scones ready dill, I've added them to breakfast..,

[dill]

Thanks, Cowboy! Team effort!

[Ginger999]

ABC and Dill, delicious effort!

The mention of scooters brought a memory of my older sister's time on one after ankle surgery. By the end of her time on that thing she could have entered the Indy 500. We were on a sister trip while she was on that thing and we couldn't keep up with her! Good times

Family is home from CR and we are off duty! Waves! I'll take another day of freedom

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. We are heading back from our family party. I am pleased to say that I did retire to the bedroom at 6:30 with my kindle. No drinking at all. Great feeling this morning! That scooter idea sounds like a good one. Clouds everywhere today. Lots of vacation traffic heading back home. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. Jude, that is super sweet that your husbands niece is there helping you out. Ginger, glad you have been relieved of your duties! Thanks for the great breakfast Cowboy. Dill, thanks for the coffee and scones too! 24 more please and thank you.

[Slo]

Thanks for the recommendation. I am glad to find out from you that it’s not hard to get a knee scooter. I had better get one. Crutches are helping some so far with offloading.

Good job with following your plan and staying AF, Rava.

You have freedom in two ways now, Ginger!

That looks like a delicious breakfast.

I am going to a bridal shower with D3 today.

[Jude58]

Thanks for coffee and breakfast yesterday cowboy and dill! Yummy!

Yes, the knee scooter was a lifesaver for me, especially when I had to go to doctors appointments, shopping or whatever. Using crutches was painful for me so the scooter was a good alternative for getting around.

Rava, so glad that you didn't drink at the party. Waking up hangover free the next day is priceless.

Here's to another twenty four hours of freedom for all of us...

[dill]

Rava, what a great achievement for you, getting thru that party and not falling into the usual trap. That's got to feel good!

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

[Rava]

Good Morning and Happy Monday Cafe. Thanks for the encouraging words. Now I have 3 wedding to get thru in the next 3 months. I am taking them one wedding at a time. Planning on drinking something sparkly from a wine glass. That seems to help me feel better and blend in more easily. Slo, I hope you are able to find a scooter to help you get around. Wishing everyone a sober day. 24 more please and thank you!

5:13am in Alberta, another 24 please, and thanks...

Great job and getting through the party Rava, I have no doubt you'll get through the weddings AF as well.

It sounds to me like the knee scooter is just the thing for you Slo. How was the bridal shower?

I'm off to the city today to pick up some material for the HRV system in the cabin. Adam and I are headed up there Wednesday evening after he gets off work as the insulation and drywall is getting delivered on Thursday and he'll need a hand unloading that. I also arranged to have the plumbing inspection done Thursday as well to save an extra trip.

Waves to the rest of the gang!

[Ginger999]

ABC, I love the cabin updates! Have fun working with Adam. I bet you enjoy it so much, it's not even like work.

Rava, great pre-planning! I'm happy it worked out well for you. Can I ask, when you retired to your bedroom with your kindle, did you have to make an excuse to slip away or did you go quietly? Just looking for ideas.

Slo, if you try a knee scooter, get a good one. Last thing you need is a fall. If your doctor prescribes it, insurance will pay for it, I bet. I know my insurance will but they obviously aren't all the same.

Jude, are you still looking into volunteering? I sure hope so. I know our clinic here is always looking for willing volunteers. With you, they'd not only get willing, they'd get experience. I know it would help your heart too.

Dill, hope you have a great day, whatever you're up to. Hi Mul!

Let's all enjoy this day with freedom from poison!
