~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Mulburry]

3.5" of rain so far and looks like it will be tapering off now. We definitely needed the rain because of the dry conditions. Maybe it's headed your way Ginger..

100mm of rain, wow! We got a decent amount here but nowhere near that much... but enough to put a damper on the fire just outside of town at least.

[Jude58]

We haven't had much rain here lately and it looks as though we won't be getting any soon. Mr. J hooked up a motor which pumps water from the creek so that we can water the garden without draining our well. Works pretty good!

Rava, it's a great idea to have a plan for not drinking at the wedding. You can't get drunk if you say no to that first drink.

Mr. J's niece is here visiting and it's her birthday tomorrow so we're going to make her a carrot cake from scratch. Yummy!

Hope that everyone is well and ready for another twenty four hours of freedom!

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

[abcowboy]

That's pretty good thinking on Mr J's part Jude, you can give the garden as much water as it needs without worry about your own water supply.

Good to hear you got some rain Mulburry, at least enough to help with the fires.

Do you rent an AirBNB when you're out at the coast now Ginger?

Have fun at the wedding Rava, and as Jude said, just stay away from that first drink.

Waves to dill, we'll probably crosspost as we usually do lol.

[dill]

Yes, we are cross posting again, Cowboy! Glad the dry conditions up your way have been remedied for now!

Jude, Mr. J sounds very much like Mr. D. He too set up a pump to run water from a nearby creek that is sometimes swelled with rain and he can top up our pond with it from time to time.

Waves to Slo, Rava, Mul and Ginger.

24 more for all of us here, and especially for those of us facing special challenges!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Dill and Jude, good thinking on the diverting the rain water to help with your garden! Hi Mul, good to see you checking in. Hi to Ginger!! Last night was the rehearsal dinner and the wine was flowing. I was able to drink Diet Coke and when the waiter went to pour champagne for the toast I covered my glass and said no thank you. I then poured water in the champagne glass and still toasted with everyone. A woman sitting across from me had 6 glasses of wine. I was amused and thankful that it was not me! I feel like I got this for tonight! Hope everyone has a sober and safe day. 24 more please and thank you. I will be here for tomorrow’s breakfast Cowboy, sober and accountable!

[Ginger999]

Good job, Rava! You got this

ABC, we are renting a house. It belongs to a friend so it's not in a rental pool. It was built in 1895 and has 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It's been in her family since the 40s. It's the coolest old house and they've maintained it well. You'd have to on the coast or it would be a pile of rubble by now. Lots of our family will be coming and going the next few weeks. None of us that will be staying the full two weeks are drinkers so that's off the table.

Jude and Dill, I know you appreciate your handy hubbies! Mine is not at all. If I can't do it and my sons are busy, it has to be hired out. But he's fantastic with $ so I won't complain.

Hi Mul and Slo!

I'll take another day

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! I didn't get much sleep last night so my brain is barely working.

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Coffee and fruit juices are ready to enjoy while we await another fab breakfast by Cowboy!

It was another beastly hot day yesterday. I'm so looking forward to Fall!

Ginger that house sounds wonderful! En!joy

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

[abcowboy]

[abcowboy]

Thanks for getting the coffee and juice ready dill, I've got the breakfast ready now...

[abcowboy]

Great job Rava, I'll bet you had a way better morning than the woman drinking all the wine.

That sounds like a beautiful old home Ginger, a nice place with lots of room for all the visitors. Bubba and I are opposite you and Mr G, I'm pretty handy around the house and she looks after all the finances.

We finally got a break from our hot weather dill, and got the rain we so badly needed.

I'll bet a nap for you is in order for you today Jude, hope you didn't have too much planned for the day.

[Ginger999]

Jude, why no sleep? Are you still coughing?

ABC, lovely breakfast as usual! I think your husband/wife arrangement is way more typical than ours!

What a beautiful moon last night. I feel fall in the air around here in the early morning. It's coming, Dill.

Rava, is today a rest day for you? Hope so!

I'll join you all in another day of freedom

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Sober and accountable as I said I would be. I found that I actually like Shirley Temples. I had two. LOL. Lots of fun watching all the dancing and craziness that a wedding brings. We have a 4 hour drive home and then today I am doing nothing….. Jude, I hope you get some sleep today. Ginger, the house sounds like fun and even better that drinking will not be a temptation. Cowboy thanks for the wonderful breakfast. I took the sprinkle cookie. Hi to Dill and Mul and Slo. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.
