~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Peachie]

Evening Cafe. Oh Jude I so love my quiet time in the mornings, especially outdoors. The place I lived in before here was a lovely old leafy suburb and had a really lovely old wooden porch. That was so my happy place. I watched all the doggie walkers go down to the local park. I had a great old comfy couch and spent many an hour just enjoying the fresh air and morning birds and sunshine. I was on a website then that helped women recover from abusive, toxic relationships and had a lovely friend who was my "porch friend". I'll never forget her. Thank you for reminding me.

It's on again re Ben's Insurance claim It just breaks my heart. Emma has received correspondence re her claim. I've also been contacted to verify her information given to the Insurance Company. It's seriously like an interrogation. Not only do we have to cope with grief but go through this proving we are honest too. I guess they have to weed out the players but seriously, for honest people, it is painful. They just seem so cold hearted and reluctant to give out any money which, in reality, is not theirs. God I hate big Corporations who are ripping us off and are corrupt as anything.

Sorry for venting but had to get it off my chest. Of course the wine is going down a lot quicker then normal! I used to be able to cope a lot better but living alone is doing my head in sometimes.

Have a great day everybody. Dill, go the Dockers tomorrow!!

Peachie, I'm so sorry you have to go through that on top of the grief. I'm 100 percent with you about big corporations. Greed...the money is never enough for them.

Jude, enjoy your porch time. I've been getting up at 4a lately. It's mostly Cyrus being ready to eat. Little turd. But I've found that I truly enjoy it. It's quiet and hubby isn't up so the TV is off! Remind me, when is the construction starting?

Rava, I had to chuckle at your crab story. I'm glad it was a success and there was no turtle soup.

ABC, I bet you'll pickup more jobs whether you like it or not. I could keep you busy around here for a month!

Hey Dill! Is it still quiet in your neck of the woods?

We have a growing fire about 3 miles from our place. I can see they've closed Interstate 82 for semi trucks but it looks like they are letting cars double back. These hills are nothing but dry cheat grass and sage brush now so tons of fuel. Praying for the fire fighters.

I'll take another day!

Oh my goodness, Rava! I loved your story about your math and being confused when you came up one short! That sounds exactly like something that I would do! Glad you had one you could split with your granddaughter. "All's well that ends well!"

GO DOCKERS! Peachie, I'll be wearing the purple! If I can't find anything purple, I'll think purple thoughts... . We have a tentative plan to go to a U-pick Lavander Farm tomorrow. The farm has a big purple barn. It'll remind me to cheer on the team.

Ginger, life continues to be low key here. I love it that way! We had to ferry our granddaughter to her game last evening and they won. That was enough for me. She got on base on a Walk, but it turned into a run to home base in the end. We were very pleased for her...using her judgement not to swing at just anything. Small things make big differences sometimes.

Jude, I will gladly join you in a day of serenity.

Cowboy, we haven't heard anything about Adam's cabin. Is he making progress with it?

It's such a beautiful morning here it's hard not to feel grateful and happy. I'll ride the wave.
