~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Rava, that Hawaiian ice shaved thingy looks like it might be a good investment for me. Sometimes I feel like a bear that's just come out of hibernation; all I want to do is eat any form of sweet (except fruitcake) and pig out. Just another form of addiction I guess. Sigh.

Thanks for breakfast yesterday cowboy!

Everyone please join me for another 24 hours of freedom...

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

[abcowboy]

Off to the lake this morning to get the door and windows put in and start on the soffit and facia. See y'all on Wednesday morning!

[dill]

Safe travels, Cowboy! Have a good time with Adam! Thanks for yesterday's breakfast, it was delish!

I looked on Amazon at the Hawaiian Shaved Ice machine. It might be a good plan for a Christmas gift or two for my southern dwelling family members!

Jude, I will definitely join you for 24 hours of freedom.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe and safe travels Cowboy. Thanks for yesterday’s breakfast too! Hope to see some pics when you get back! Dill the Hawaiian shaved ice maker is the black tall one. It fits easily on my tiny house kitchen counter. I think it was 99.00. Best money spent! I also ordered the flavors on amazon for 20.00. Only mistake i made last night is eating one before bedtime. LOL. Too many bathroom trips in the middle of the night. We heard a huge crash around 2 am waking us up and we started running. Turns out a big mirror I hung in the tiny house living room fell off the wall. Luckily it did not break but wow what a scary sound. Why doesn't this stuff happen during the day when we are up??? Hope everyone has a great and sober day. Hard to believe summer is almost over……

[Ginger999]

Shaved ice? I'll be looking into one. Maybe my sweet tooth would be satisfied with that. Lord knows I need something. Lol

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Rava, I hate it when things go bump in the middle of the night. In my case it's usually something that the cats have knocked over. One night after hearing a crashing sound, I came downstairs to find that half of my plants were on the floor amidst piles of potting soil. Ugh..

Cowboy, would love to see more pics of your progress on the cabin. Can't wait to see the finished project!

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

I hate the loud noise in the middle of the night! So frightening. Then there is the knowing that you're facing a big mess the first thing in the morning. But at least you were clear-headed. There's some comfort in that.

Last night we went to our granddaughter's open house. Today is her first day of school for the '24-25 school year. It was lovely to watch her greet her teachers and be reunited with school friends.

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

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Kinda quiet here without cowboy. Looking forward to seeing the progress on the cabin. Dill, I wish your granddaughter a good school year ahead! So exciting. I remember those days, filling out the emergency cards, school shopping, etc. Seems so long ago. Time flies. We are headed out today to meet some friends for lunch. Went to the movies last night with a group of ladies to see It Ends with Us. Good chick flick. Wishing everyone a great a sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Rava, thanks for the chick flick moving recommendation. I'll make sure to watch it with my sisters in September on our fall sister trip.

Enjoying the cool coastal weather and family time. Finished our first sister project. I made this for our front door window panel.



I worked in a school office the entire time my boys were in school. It was always fun to see the smiling faces that first week! Then things got real. Lol

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Mulburry]

Mul, can you tell me what occurs during a “smoke out” day..

Hahaha, just my own personal lingo for a really smokey day, like where you can see the smoke a hundred yards away and can smell it something fierce as well. We haven't had anything close to that here yet. Totally clear (smoke free) day today in fact, nice and cloudy and cool too!

[Mulburry]

But my cravings for sweets has recently risen too.

Yup, like most of you I am burdened with this as well (but on the otherhand, wouldn't life be dull if you couldln't even enjoy sweets?). I still indulge a bit but just try to minimize it as much as I can. As long as I can keep my weight steady at a healthy level now (after losing a hundred pounds) I feel like I'm doing ok. Besides, what's a little bit of sugar compared to a whole lot of alcohol (which is much more damaging in many more ways).

[Jude58]

Wow Mulburry, you lost100 pounds? That's great! How did you do it? Congrats! It's taken me 6 months to lose 10 pounds even though I've cut out a lot of bad things. I guess it's just going to take me awhile to lose the weight, but they say that by losing the weight slowly, you are more likely to keep it off. We shall see...

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

I am impressed and happy for you losing that extra weight, Mul. I bet you feel really good! Jude, the 10 lbs. I dropped took me about 6 months too. I really didn't want to have to buy bigger sizes, so I had to bite the bullet! I'm glad I did. I am going to continue to work at it. I have been hankering for an ice cream sundae or a chocolate malt tho. Haven't had one all summer. I do plan on indulging at least once before the warm weather is gone.

The wasted calories in in drinking are definitely not advised! 24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

5:22am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...
