~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Ginger999]

Thanks for sharing the pics, ABC! Your daughter is beautiful and so is your name sake! ;~) Enjoy them being so close!

I feel ya, Slo! Old age is not for sissies

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Slo]

Enjoyed the pics of your beautiful daughter and her majestic dog, Cowboy. Good that Brucie is adapting to his new climate. Snow is fun to play in.

I got lots of paperwork gathered and printed for taxes. Kind of a job, as I had a complicated real estate year, as I panicked when I was losing my physical abilities, so sold my condo and bought a smaller one; but hated it, so had to sell that one and scramble to get this one back in my original neighborhood. I think I found enough documentation of everything.

Rava, I hope you enjoy your volunteer job today, and Jude, hope your last days as a care provider go well.

24 more hours of freedom from AL please.

[Jude58]

Yup, my last day of work is next Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it! My first order of business is a trip to the beach in Florida with my sisters for 2 weeks at the end of March. I've never been to Florida and am looking forward to it!

Good luck doing your taxes Rava, sounds like they might be kind of complicated. I always make Mr. J do our taxes.

Here's to 24 hours of serenity for all of us...

Mr. D downloaded Turbotax for 2024 yesterday. He does the honors here. I am his assistant.

Slo, yours sound a might complicated. I hope all goes well and I believe it will. Hope even more that it is not too overwhelming or stressful.

Come the weekend our temps should finally be in the normal range once again. It will feel like a day at the beach!

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

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

[abcowboy]

We use an accountant for our taxes Slo, if it was just personal tax we'd do it ourselves, but with the business it's too complicated for us to do.

Retirement in just a week Jude, I'll bet you're looking forward to that day! And 2 weeks in the sun with your sisters will be an awesome way to celebrate, best take lots of sunscreen!

We're also warming up by the weekend dill, temps are supposed to be well above the freezing mark. I'm definitely going to be doing some cooking outside, just haven't decided what I'll cook yet lol.

Waves to the rest of the gang, have a great day y'all!

[Ginger999]

Jude, what a lovely way to celebrate! Enjoy the beach time with your sisters!

Waves to all! I'll take another day of freedom

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Slo, we are working on our taxes too. Just got the paperwork off to the accountant. Jude, retirement sounds good and so does your trip to Florida. Which part are you visiting? East or west coast? Hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you!

[Slo]

Good idea to go for a full two-week long vacation, Jude! Should be a nice time with your sisters.

I have an accountant do my taxes too. Mr. Slo handled all our tax prep work for those 35 years that I was married (he had to, as they were intertwined with his family business), so I’m still getting used to what all needs to be gathered for taxes.

Cowboy, I guess your daughter got a right-sized dog for herself; tall in stature since she’s tall in stature! I do feel for her, having to leave her home in British Columbia and adjust to the breakup of a long term relationship. Thankfully she has family to come home to.

I am having some old, dirty blinds and curtains replaced with some new window treatments in this condo today.

Hello to all and another day of sobriety for us all!

[Jude58]

Rava, I'm going to Fort Meyers and I believe that it's on the west coast. My sister has a time share condo there and goes 2-3 times over the winter. Can't wait to go!

Hope that everyone has a safe and booze free day!

Not today.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe! Jude I am very familiar with Ft Myers. Sadly Hurricane Ian destroyed Ft Myers beach but it is coming back! Hope you have a wonderful time with your sister! I am headed to the beach today with some ladies and having lunch there on the beach. Hope everyone has a wonderful and sober day. I have had a good week not obsessing about drinking. Trying to rewire my brain from 4-6 pm by working on a craft project. 24 more please and thank you.

4:48am in Alberta, 24 more please, and thanks...

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

[abcowboy]

The garage door opener on Bubba's side called it quits yesterday so looks like I'll be putting a new one in on Saturday when the weather is above freezing. I picked up a new one yesterday at Canadian Tire and it was on sale for $50 off the regular price. If it was summer I would be putting in new doors and openers on both sides of the garage, along with putting a heater in the garage but for now just the new opener.

Have a great day everyone!

[Ginger999]

Had a lovely dinner with two of my old high school friends. There's was no AL in sight, which was wonderful!

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Slo]

What a bonus that your friends didn’t get drinks during your dinner out, Ginger! Not to mention that it’s great that you have old friends from back then. High school was a painful time for me.

A timeshare seems like a good way to get to a warm climate a few times over the Winter, Jude.

Cowboy, well that’s too bad that the opener crapped out before you could do the whole garage project, but I suppose they are more vulnerable to breaking during the extreme cold.

Rava, what a good idea to make your vulnerable time your craft time! Are you doing diamond painting?

Ugh, I hate my new window treatments! Darn it.

24 more hours of freedom for all of us please.
