MAE ALL....It's the weekend. Am I looking forward it. This week felt like a month. One of my bothersome renters is back this weekend so yup, turning the phone off.

Mick...glad the van is keeping you nice and toasty and that you got a good sleep last night. Hope the weather was better for your outing today. Our weather has turned and it's supposed to start snowing tonight. It was raining this morning and has been dull and gloomy all day. I didn't know you were such a bird expert. What don't you know? I heard BJ was back in the running. Social media has been having a hay day with your politics. Hope you left your cheque book in the van.

Lav...doesn't Luna know when she's got it good! I'm glad you found the kittens and were able to get one. They have been a lot of work for you. Just like raising kids. I hope you have as much luck with this upcoming fair. If I lived in the states and Trump got back in I would definitely move to Canada. I see that he has now been subpoenaed. I hope he eventually gets charged criminally so he can't run again.

Not looking forward to the snow. At least I don't have to go out early in the morning. Have a good night all...PPQP

Good morning,

I was wondering if you’d mind if I join you over here on your thread? I enjoy reading over here already, and hearing about your lives.

Mick, as you travel in the van to the motor home show, is it because you’re thinking of getting a motor home? Or do you have a tricked-out van that is already like a motor home?

PQ, I am excited for you that both your car loan and debt repayment loan will be finishing up next month!!

Lav, you tried so hard to help Luna with her kittens, and frustrating that there seems to be only one kitten left.

I fractured my right knee recently from a fall off my bike when my tire got stuck in a groove (trolley track), so am taking it easy now and walking with a walker for at least another month until it heals.

We are having a very warm, summer-like weekend here in the Midwest of USA! A last hurrah before Winter!

Good evening friends,

Still having nice sunny days with the temps dropping to near freezing overnight. We are definitely getting some nice leaf color now.
Kept the kitten in her decked out laundry basket in my room last night. She slept all night, never heard a peep. I put her out on the deck with Luna for ‘breakfast’ & she’s been snoozing most of the day in the heated cat house. If this works for Luna then it’s OK for me too. Still stitching as much as I can each day getting ready for Nov 5th. Son & family coming tomorrow to help install a new high efficiency washer that uses less water. Apparently our tile field is getting too wet or something so I hope this helps. We brought the washer home from Lowes yesterday but I can’t help carry it inside haha!

PQ, happy weekend & I hope it’s quiet. I haven’t looked up your weather yet, hope you didn’t get a lot of snow.
I’m happy if Luna & I can share custody of this kitten with no arguments Lol. I personally can’t wait to see trump twisting in the wind while being questioned by Congress. I’d pay to see that!! I don’t think there’s a chance in hell of him ever being elected again regardless of what his cult wants.

Mick, glad you’re getting around despite the rain. I’ve been busy as usual keeping myself out of trouble

Cyn, thinking of you!

Hello to Pauly, Det & Sam.

Slo, glad you made it over to our thread. The Nest apparently has been abandoned lately.
I hope that knee pain is calming down a bit & that you are SUPER careful with that walker. I guess bike riding will stay on the sidelines now. Every year we get older we get closer to a major accident/incident, ugh.

Wishing everyone a nice night!
Lav

Mae all,

One tired girl here... I just don't have the stamina that I used to have... but I did get in a good long walk this morning. Feeling a little under the weather this evening - I tested, but was negative. I'll test again tomorrow... I will be racing around getting everything done for my dear clients. Looking at the weather, it's best if I leave on Monday, then I can possibly escape some storms here in the east. The southeast - where I'm first headed - looks okay through Wednesday... then I'll have to see what's going on in the midwest... might be a little iffy... they have already gotten snow in Indiana!

Mick, I loved the description of all the birds. The birds around here are super-active, and singing and singing. I think maybe they are doing a last hurrah before winter or before they migrate. Great that you felt snug in the van! Have fun at the show.

PPQ - sorry you are so tired! But it sounds like a job well done -- and I agree with the comment above - it's good to be blessed by others!

Lav, what strange tales you have about the cat and kittens... I hope all turns out okay - and be sure to take regular breaks when you are stitching up a storm!

Hi to Pauly, Det and Sam - also to those dropping by... may we be well
