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

Life is change, some are great, some are not and some are harder than others. I hope you find a good home for Homer very soon, Jude.

Today is our granddaughter's 9th birthday. That falls into the "where does the time go?wbucket! It will be an alcohol-free celebration. In fact I was just thinking as I wrote that, I don't even have the slightest desire to have alcohol at family celebrations any more. They are much better enjoyed with clear heads and the memories are so much sweeter!

Have a great AF day everyone.

24 more please and thank you.

Good morning. Sorry about Homer Jude. I’m sure this is hard for you. Dill, Happy Birthday to your 9 year old Granddaughter. Pickles turned out great. They are so easy! I have included the recipe in case anyone wants to try them. Bread and Butter Pickles - Recipe Girl. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

Jude, my heart goes out to you. Hoping you find Homer the perfect home. Hugs

Enjoying the coastal temps. Furnace is running this morning. It was only 55°F in here. Brrrrrrr Back home it is supposed to be 102°F today and 105°F tomorrow. Its crazy that a 4 hour drive can change the temps so much. This was the perfect time to escape!

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

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Like many others in the Cafe, we love having the grandkids come for a visit but at the end, we often comment that there’s a reason we have them when we’re young!

Jude, tough to say goodbye to a friend. I’m sure you’ll find a great home for Homer. And don’t forget that you did what’s best for him and you. If I’m not able to find a reasonable solution for exercising Jessie, we may have to look at finding her a new home. She’s too good a friend not to do what’s best for her.

I consider myself to be a care partner, not a care giver, for Mrs QW although that role will likely change in the future. One of my main motivators in giving up alcohol was to make sure I could be there for Mrs QW. Now I need to ensure that physically I look after myself so that I don’t end up in need of care myself.

Have a great af Wednesday everyone. Stay safe and away from the covidiots out there!

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

Thanks for all of the kind words regarding Homer. Tough decision to make.....

QW... I sure hope that you can find a solution to Jessie's exercise needs! Have you considered hiring a dog walker? Not sure how much they charge but it might be something to look into.

Another sober day please and thank you!

Good morning. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

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

QW, I like the concept of 'care partner' rather than care giver. It's clear why your marriage has survived the test of time. Caring for each other's needs is reciprocal, undoubtedly.

Granddaughter had a wonderful birthday. She would like to have stayed another night but I'm afraid I was just too exhausted after the events of the day and having her for the three nights. I told her she could come back in just a few days tho. This covid era has been so hard on kids. Where she lives (an apartment) her friends and play opportunities are limited. Over here she has the run of the farm and has the dog and the cat to play with. There are no children her age around, but she makes do and enjoys the freedom of the outdoors. My grandson at least has a work opportunity that gets him out of the apartment, so he has less need of coming here.

Rava, thank you for the recipe. I am going to give it a read. I love bread and butter chips, especially on a ham sandwich. Mmmm!

24 more please and thank you.

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

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Rava, thanks for the pickle recipe. I printed it and will be buying the spices that we need today. Our farmers market is tomorrow so I’ll get the pickling cucumbers and make my favourite pickles this weekend.
I have a very old cutter for pickles that I think was my grandmothers. I’m looking forward to using it.

Jude, a dog walker is an option we’re considering. Last evening I said the heck with it and took Jessie for a walk. We both needed it! It’s been too hot for our neighbours to walk and they’re leaving on holidays today so I will do my best to keep us both active.

I saw a true covidiot at my medical appointment on Tuesday. An older lady had a horrific cough and every time she coughed she lowered her mask and coughed into her hand which she then put on the chair arms. Fortunately a staff member witnessed this, spoke with her, moved her into a cubicle away from everyone else and then disinfected the area where was sitting.

Have a great af Thursday everyone, stay safe!

Pitted and froze 25lbs of cherries yesterday. Eat 'em year round. Now onto pickles, lol.
Doc appt. today.
Covidiots everywhere. Some people just have no common sense, others willfully ignorant.
The worst are those that wear their masks with their nose out, or down even further. Like having a pissing corner in a swimming pool.
