~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

Thinking of you and your sister, Jude. Hope all is going well. More prayers for her today from my little spot in Ohio.

Our farmer friend turned 80 and his birthday is being celebrated today. I'll be baking an apple pie to take to the potluck supper. He has been such a wonderful neighbor and friend. He told us this week tho that he is officially retiring. He'll be selling off his cattle and he's passing the raising of the hay (he grows some here) to his nephew. I'm happy for him!

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

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

[abcowboy]

Have fun with your guests this weekend Rava

Enjoy the potluck today dill, I know everyone will enjoy your apple pie

We finished up the wheat yesterday just in time as it started to rain shortly after. Got to come back to Veg last night and might have a day or two off as the canola isn't quite ready and Corey has to go check the oats to see if it's ready. 3500 acres done, 3500 acres to go.

[Jude58]

Thanks all for your support during my sister's surgery, and I'm relieved to say that she did well. I haven't heard anything so far today, but I'm sure that I will get an update soon.

24 more please...

Good morning Cafe. Jude so happy that all went well with your sisters surgery. Now hoping her recovery is swift and painless. Cowboy 3500 acres to go??? WOW that makes my head spin….. Dill an apple pie sounds great. Last night I went to make a quiche and the oven was smoking. I had made a cheese cake the day before and did not realize the springform pan was not tight and all the sugary goodness was all over the bottom of the oven. Needless to say i had to use the self cleaning mode, open all the windows and am now starting over with the quiche. It was a mess literally. I should have know when I didn't have a pie pan and making a quiche in a round cake pan was not quite ideal!. Well i hope everyone has a great and sober saturday. Grandkids on the way…….24 more please and thank you.

Jude, glad surgery went well for Sis. Continued prayers for her recovery.

Dill, yummy apple pie. I bet you can make a good one!

My knee is healing nicely. It should be pretty fine by the 30th. Thats my fall sister trip.

Rava, enjoy your company! And.... your clean oven.

ABC, 7,000 acres! Thank you and thank Cory for all your hard work providing us food!

I have a birthday party today for my 3 yo great niece. There will be a giant bouncy house. I wont be bouncing today but there was a day i would have been right up in that thing. Lol I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe. Sorry about your baking mishap Rava, but I guess that these things happen occasionally. My sister is home now and doing well. I'm so relieved that the surgery is over and my sister is recovering, except for being sore which is to be expected.

Wow cowboy, that's a lot of acres to cover before the harvest is done. Just think of all the people being fed by the fruit of your labor. Thank you!

Glad that your knee is doing better Ginger. Just in time for your trip with your sisters.

24 more please...

[dill]

Sorry about your oven mishap, Rava. That sounds like something I would have done. Well, now the oven is clean, so you made lemonade from the lemons!

Ginger, so good to hear you are healing and improving. Perfect timing for you!

Jude, I hope your sister heals quickly.

I sure do appreciate all you do Cowboy. I bet you did a lot of good while you were a drinker, but I bet that your effectiveness and productivity is multiples of what it would be if you had continued that cycle. Thanks for your leadership here.

The birthday party for our friend is today. No drinking will be involved. 24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Sounds like we are doing doing well here in the Cafe. Im sitting here drinking coffee listening to the pouring down rain. We need it so bad. I just wish I would have put my patio cushions away last night. Well I guess they are getting a good cleaning today. One grand spent the night and he is still sleeping. We had a great time with this set of grands. It was their first time to the tiny home and they loved it. Makes my heart happy. Wishing everyone a great and sober Sunday. 24 more please and thank you.

5:18am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

Some breakfast for y'all...

[abcowboy]

That's good news about your sister Jude, let's hope the recovery and future looks just as good for her.

I can only imagine what a smoking oven does to a tiny home Rava, at least now you have a clean oven and patio cushions haha

Enjoy the birthday party today Ginger, and best stay out of that bouncy house even if you think your knee can handle it

I'm not so sure how productive I was during my drinking days dill, but I do know that having a clear head and no hangover definitely helps me each morning now.

[Ginger999]

ABC, I love pancakes! Yum and thank you.

Made it through the party without getting in that bouncy house. Lol On to an "end of summer" BBQ with my boys and their families. Fingers crossed all the grands will be there!

Jude, thinking of your sis. _/\_

Fall is definitely in the air! I'll take another day of freedom

[dill]

Those pancakes were awesome, Cowboy! Thank you.

Very wise of you to stay out of that bouncy house, Ginger.

I cannot believe that yesterday marked the first day of Fall! But the weather did make a big switch in mid afternoon, dropping the blasted heat and cooling things off with a heavy rain. It was great. The birthday party was very nice. One of our farmer friend's nephews brought in a tractor and a hay wagon that he actually modified by building and attaching a set of stairs so the elderly could get onboard. The stairs were on hinges which were attached to the wagon so the stairs could be raised up and go along wherever we needed. It was a beautiful little ride and much appreciated by the guest of honor. I was officially "on the wagon" at that party!

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

[Jude58]

Ginger, yes, Fall is in the air here as well. The leaves are changing color, business at the apple orchards are booming, and the temps are definitely getting cooler. I love it!!

Looking forward to another 24 hours of freedom...
