~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Ginger999]

That's fascinating, Slo. I'm so glad it was a good experience for you. Will you do it again?

Rava, hope you can get your mouth situation sorted out today. Sounds awful!

Yesterday we drove up to Mount Lemon. There's a ski resort at the top but there wasn't enough snow to open this winter. We drove to the top, which is 9,100 ft elevation. Brrrrr 36 degrees!
Tucson in the distance and hoodoo on the drive to the top!

Off to Colossal Cave and Saguaro National Park today.

Waves to all! I'll take another one

Slo, glad that the healer was able to help you out. Sounds like an interesting experience!

I've tweaked my vacation plans a bit, so now I'm flying to Wyoming and visiting my sister. Then we are driving to Florida and staying there for a week with my other sister. Yay! I haven't been on a sister road trip in years and am really looking forward to it.

Rava, hope that you recover quickly from your dental surgery. It's not surprising that your face is swollen after a three hour dental procedure! Wow!

Pouring rain and windy this morning, yuck!

Looking forward to another 24 hours of serenity...

Cowboy I surely must've mentioned the boat on the forum at one time or another, but a lot of years have passed since we met here on the forum! It was a second hand 22' Sea Ray with a cabin, and we had a canvas camper enclosure made for it so we could actually spend nights on the water, which we did a few times. It was great fun, especially with the grandkids. I got in the water once or twice with them but mostly I just enjoyed the ride. We did some fishing too. Boating is kind of an expensive hobby tho so eventually we decided it was too much upkeep, and we sold it. It was fun while it lasted!

Excellent plan, Jude! What a great way to kick off your second retirement. A road trip with your sisters!

Rava, I can't even imagine your pain and discomfort. Hope it passes quickly.

Ginger, thanks for the awesome pics. The western landscape is wonderous.

Lent began yesterday. I'm going to cut back on sweets and increase prayer and meditation. That's my plan. I hope I can stick to it.

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

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

[abcowboy]

That sounds like quite the experience with the healer Slo, glad you found it helpful.

Beautiful pics Ginger, it looks like it would have been a great drive up and back.

I'm betting you're going to have a blast with your sister on the road trip Jude, then look out Florida when you meet up with the other one lol.

Spending a night out on the water sounds like a fun way to spend time with the g-kids dill, I know it's something I'm sure I'd enjoy as well.

Thank you Rava for giving me the extra push I needed. I booked an appointment with the dentist to go in and get my remaining teeth pulled and get fitted for dentures. Now I have 2 weeks to get nervous about what it's going to be like lol.

[Ginger999]

Good luck, ABC. Keeping you in my thoughts!

Rava, how are you today?

The cave was awesome and has quite a back story. The tour guide did an awesome job too! Very entertaining.

Off to Tombstone today! Waves to all. I'll take another day of freedom

[Jude58]

I was going to complain about my lack of sleep over the past 2 nights, but I've found that keeping an attitude of gratitude goes a long way towards bringing me back to reality. Some people spend the night on the streets, not in a bed.

Dill, we used to have a boat and would often take it out on one of the many lakes around us. It was fun for awhile, but we decided to get kayaks and we don't even use those anymore.

I'm grateful for everything that I have, but especially my sobriety. Here's to 24 more for all of us.

5:21am in Alberta, another 24 for me please, and thanks...

How was the trip to Tombstone Ginger? That's a place I wouldn't mind visiting with it's history.

I've noticed you've been up pretty early these past few mornings Jude, do you at least get a nap in during the day?

Time for a drive out to the farm just to check on things, haven't been out there for a while. Have a great day y'all!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Jude, I hope you have a great time with your sister trip. Flying to Wyoming and then driving to Florida is quite the travel! At least you dont have to worry about drinking and all that negative energy! Slo, sounds like an interesting meeting with the medium. Glad your family came through to give you some comfort. Cowboy, two week will be here quickly! Hope all goes well. My mouth is still killing me. The dentist said the stitches were intact. Boy I dont remember being this miserable when I had my wisdom teeth out at 19 but having this done in my 60s is much different. I do think he should have given me a strong pain reliever other than tylenol. I was so miserable the other night I was in tears. Of course my dental office is closed on friday. So I am hoping today will be a better day. Hope everyone has a good and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

[dill]

When I have a sleepless night I focus on the comfort, safety and rest and try to feel grateful too, Jude. In the summer I focus on the night sounds. Often times I will put on something to listen to and eventually I find I drift off. But sometimes it takes a really long time.

Hope you're feeling better, Rava.

Cowboy, good for you moving forward with the dental care. It's not pleasant but it's necessary.

Ginger, your excursion looks like lots of fun!

Hello Slo and Mul.

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

[dill]

Cross-post, Rava. I bet that extraction was really painful! Yikes!

[Slo]

I too noticed you posting very early a couple times, Jude. I hate the insomnia we get at this age too. Last night I was awake for a couple hours from 2-4 am, but finally drifted back off. I scrolled a bunch.
I hope you sleep well on your upcoming vacation! -probably will in that situation!
I bet Ginger is sleeping well between her fun adventures!

I remember when you had the boat, Dill, and would take the grandchildren out boating.

Oh Rava, that sounds so miserable. Today has to be a better day. And brave Cowboy is next.

I’m looking into getting a couple few windows replaced here in this condo. Geez, is that expensive!
I’m touring an Independent Living facility near here today, in case that is an option worth exploring as I age, and cope with pain & mobility problems.
I might be able to meet my daughter and her friend and their toddlers at a hotel water park today. Now that would be nice! I get lonely.

24 more hours of AF living please!

[Ginger999]

The mine tour in Tombstone was great. The guide was very entertaining. ABC, you'd love it if you like history! Fun fact.... there are over 500 miles of mine shafts under the town!

Back to Gold Canyon today! Cyrus has been a good boy and found a good lookout spot while here. Cats are funny!

Waves to all! I'll take another day!
