~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Good morning all!

It's blueberry picking season here but Mr. J and I haven't had much time lately to go. Maybe we'll just pick some up at one of the local fruit and veggie stands.

Dill, hopefully the rain will hold off on Sunday. Do you have a tent or some other type of shelter if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Good luck with the cabin cowboy, is it nearly done?

It's supposed to be hot and muggy for the next several days. Never thought that I'd wish for rain but we really need it now. Everyone's lawn is starting to turn brown. Mr. J has been watering the garden which takes awhile as it's a big space, but it has to be done.

Waves to Ginger, Mul, Slo and Rava

Twenty four more please...

Have a great time with Adam at the cabin, Cowboy. It's so great that you two can work together on that.

Ginger, we haven't any grand plan for rain, just moving indoors and making do. Our house will be crowded but it's big enough to accommodate the number we'll have.

Rava, how great you have offered to teach a class! What fun!

Slo, I can only imagine the frustration and anxiety you are facing. Do what you can and ask for help as needed. ((hugs))

Hi Mul and Jude!

24 more for all of us here.

[abcowboy]

We didn't end up going as the lumber company didn't have the material to deliver as they are having issues with their suppliers. We didn't think there was enough other work to warrant Adam taking 2 days off work when he's short on holidays anyway. I also postponed the plumbing inspection as well. Not sure when we'll be headed back up there, guess it depends on material delivery.

There's still lots of work to do yet on the cabin Jude, we don't get in a lot of time even when we do get up there as we're there for such a short period.

That's fantastic that you'll be teaching a class Rava, keeps you busy when you're not with family.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate dill and you won't have to move the reunion indoors.

I've adjusted to the dentures pretty good now Ginger, but I'm going to see if they can make a small change to the bottom one. The 4 false front teeth seem to be too small and it makes me look like a vampire when I smile lol.

Is there no solution to all this pain you're having Slo, seems like there should be something they can do.

Since I didn't think I'd be home, I don't have much on my agenda today so a day or r & r for me.

[abcowboy]

Well I did that backwards, lol, let's try this again...

5:31am in Alberta, 24 more please, and thanks...

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

[Slo]

There is no “they” to help me, as I can’t access the health care system. Insurance says the podiatrist is out-of-network for me; he says he’s in network, and keeps trying to work with the insurance company to prove it. I’m left at a standstill with a big bill. It’s the same with trying to get physical therapy: the insurance company tells them that they are in network for me, but tells me that they are out of network.

I am trying home foot exercises that I ordered off the Internet, and am icing and trying this mat that I ordered off the Internet that is supposed to stimulate blood flow to the foot. The crutches help enormously. I will try to get a scooter off of Facebook Marketplace.

Have a good R&R day, Cowboy, although I bet you’d rather be working with Adam if it had worked out.

Best wishes for a good AF day for each of you.

[Ginger999]

Slo, I sure hope you can get this taken care of soon. It's obvious from your posts, you're at your wits end. So sorry.

ABC, sounds like a good day to get some r&r but im sorry it didn't work out. What's the deal with the material delay?

Dill, I'm glad your house can accommodate but I hope the weather cooperates and you can enjoy the day outside.

Rava, you said your class was going to do bookmarks, right? Will you ask for a small donation to cover cost or will it be your treat?

Jude, do you pick the blueberries at a farm or do they grow wild?

Hey Mul, what's the weather like in Hope, where your Mom lives? Is it rainy? There's a guy that rents his goats to people that need to be rid of the invasive blackberry bushes. I guess the goats can knock them back in short order. Problem is, they come back but hey, it's good for the goat guy! Repeat customers

Off to my last knee pt. It's feeling pretty good. Hopeful! I'll take another day!

[Jude58]

Twenty four more please and thank you!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Slo, I hope you get some relief soon. So sorry that you are going thru so much crap trying to feel better. Our medical system is completely awful!!! Ginger I am doing the class thru my community so they each pay 5.00 to help cover the costs. I have actually spent a little more of my own money as the bookmark kits only come with 1 pencil and 1 tray. I bought a package of 20 and then I had to buy some sealant. Hoping it will be a fun activity. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Ginger and Dill hope those family reunions are fun with no rain. Enjoy your r and r cowboy. Hi to Jude and Mul. 24 more please and thank you!

It sounds like they are having trouble getting drywall (not sure if that's what they call it down there) Ginger, and Adam said they didn't know for sure when they would get any.

I imagine you're getting pretty busy with all the company starting to arrive dill, enjoy your time with the family!

We had quite the thunder, lightning, and rainstorm through the night. Still cloudy and wet this morning so I'll probably get out of my date with the lawnmower until tomorrow lol.

[Ginger999]

Yep ABC, it's drywall here too. Has he thought about alternatives like paneling or breadboard. That's a cabin-y alternative.

The first night of the reunion went fine. No alcohol for me and hubby.

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

[dill]

In the thick of it here now, but just wanted to check in and say it will be with you all in keeping another 24 hours.
