Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Grandkids are the best. We have six. Three under 10. Those are the fun years in my opinion. Still lots of fun stuff to teach them. The three older ones are 19, 20 and 24. They are so busy with school and work, we don't see them as much. Now I'm even more homesick. LOL We will see them all the first week in April! YAY

I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

So great to read about grandkids. Our grandson is 6, our granddaughter 4. Mrs QW and a lot of people with Parkinson’s have what’s called the Parkinson mask, caused by a change in facial expression. Our grandson noticed this one day and said, “You’re not as smart as my other Granny are you”! And one day I had to speak to our granddaughter in a stern voice. She smiled at me and said “I sure love you Granddad”. She’s had me wrapped around her little finger since the day she was born.

I read an interesting story about the fastest growing group of alcoholics - mommies who “need” their Mommie Juice. How sad.

And, on the news this morning was a story about people making plans for St. Patrick’s Day. Guess any excuse to get drunk, eh?

Have a great af Saturday everyone!

No plans for St. Patrick's Day here, except to enjoy it sober! I never was one to drink green beer, even if it's alcohol free! I like a whole lot of things about the Irish people and my part-Irish heritage, but the tendency toward alcoholism is not one of them. I love the Irish wit and their love of music, laughter, song and stories. I love their blessings and toast and folklore, etc. But the love of drink, not so much.

24 more, please and thank you.

No plans for us either tomorrow re: St Patrick’s. The Women’s World Curling Championship started today and we’ll watch what games we can because of the time difference as Denmark is hosting this year. And The Player’s PGA Championship is also on this weekend, so there’s plenty to keep me busy and not worry about green beer!

And with +7C (45F) for a high today, the top sirloin moose steaks are in the marinade getting ready for the smoker!!

[MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], an Irish buddy of mine told me one evening while sipping some beer, his favourite Irish blessing - May the wind at your back never be your own!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Sorry I missed my last quote yesterday! I did read a nice thought for the day, about self care, that I thought I'd share.
""Rest when you’re tired. Take a drink of cold water when you’re thirsty. Call a friend when you’re lonely. Ask God to help when you feel overwhelmed.
Many of us have learned how to deprive and neglect ourselves. Many of us have learned to push ourselves hard, when the problem is that we’re already pushed too hard.
Many of us are afraid the work won’t get done if we rest when we’re tired. The work will get done; it will be done better than work that emerges from tiredness of soul and spirit. Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe.
They are well timed, efficient, and Divinely led. Today, I will practice loving self-care.""

Let us not forget loving self care! Can't wait for brekkie, AB!
I'm in for another 24 af hours..

[abcowboy]

Breakfast will be out in a bit, these darn things are tough to do lol.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

27F with a little sun.
The St. Paddy's day parade was yesterday here, always a big event.
Near 100 % Irish here according to those DNA tests. I didn't take one, but one of my brothers did. But, I already knew that, lol. One of my great grandmothers was born in Ireland. Our clan came over late 1800's, and both sides of the family through Canada first. Mrs. V is near 100% German, with one side of her family arriving in the states in the late 1600's, according to research her dad did before he passed away.
Working today, the first game of our new Major league soccer team. Sold out game.
24 more here please.

[abcowboy]

Okay, got the hang of it and got them coming out of the pan, breakfast is served!
