Sunday – 10/9/2017 – Grandparents Day

Morning all! thought I would check in while I can ….. apparently the storm is going to pass directly over Tampa! …. we are the center of the bullseye! … We’re fine, we’re ready, all shut in tight …. Caddy is in the spare bedroom, along with A’tuin ….. we’ll probably loose power and internet, so hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend, and thanks for the prayers and white lights. I see on Facebook TDKF that many are concerned about Dee, I haven’t heard from her, but know that she’s special needs, I’m sure she’s been evacuated ….. we’re hanging on tight, L8R all!

Good morning – my grandma B had an amazing memory. When I introduced her to my hubby-then-boyfriend, she said her kindergarten teacher had the same last name! Mother of 12 and I don’t know how many grandchildren and great grandchildren, she knew who was having a birthday, getting married, going to college, having a baby, etc.

Thanks for checking in, AV. Your house must be crowded with all of our TDK good vibes around you! I heard that Dee is okay. No details, but knowing she is out of her ground floor place is good.

I love the turtle on grandpa’s head!

Great great grandma Jinx would be amazed with the toys and beds and food selections cats have today. Other than catching something outside, her only toy was a crumpled piece of paper with a string tied around it that she could chase and pounce when someone dragged it around. There were no beds; she cozied up to one of us kids or the baseboard heat. As for food, she did ok. She had two choices, take it or leave it. She also got people food on occasion, such as cheese, tuna and chicken. On looking at this, she had a rich life back in the day, didn’t she?!

Heehee, I remember you saying how much you love those stick tails, KZ!

Another TDKr has made it to a shelter after having difficulty getting to a pet friendly place. She lives in a trailer so she had to get out for sure.

Hey MS, been meaning to ask you how your mouf is. Hope you’re feeling better!

Thanks for checking in ECB, I am worried for you and AV and others….I sit and watch the weather channel and wring my hands.. 😳

Hi all. It’s a very cold wet day here but nothing compared to what Floridians are facing for a day or so.
Glad to hear that another TDKer has made it safely to an animal friendly shelter.
Wow, I am stunned at the pics and reports from many places around Florida where the ocean has completely disappeared, sucked out by the power of Irma. Scary stuff. I see Tamps Bay emptied out. The eye is supposed to be over Tampa in about 2 hours. Yes, we are getting comprehensive and continually updated news here. Makes for humbling reading at what people must be going through and that they have to face it twice – each side of the hurricane.
Grandparents – my maternal grandparents were farmers and ran a plant nursery and my Nana grew flowers for the flower markets. Must be where my green thumbs come from and the ease at which I had adapting to country life from city girl.
JJ, not long back from a quick check of the mouf by the dentist, all going well. Still tender on the roof of my mouth but that will ease.
ECB, good to see you checking in with your TDK family, we’re all thinking of you and your family. Do you have sandbags in case the water rises more.
One of our TDKF family has water coming under her door, blown by the force of the rains but she is doing well.
KJ, family ! ! I bet Dorry thinks you are a cuddly person. 🙂
Wow, that must have been an embarrassing and difficult exchange of words to sit through at Knitting Circle. I feel sorry for the lady that she won’t have her lamb but then she did give in to the child. 😡 to the child and her Mother who allowed bad manners to flourish.

KJ, semi soft. Anything too solid has a habit of finding that tender empty tooth socket. My mouth is a bit reluctant to open too wide too so it’s still small bites and cutting off of crusts.
Tonight we are having lemon garlic spatchcock chicken and I was going to do roast potatoes but I think mashed may be the best option.
Aha, Dorry is an aloof kitty, HRH Shadz is like that too, until she wants cuddles then I had better deliver. She is standing by me trying to decide if she will curl up on the blanket I put there for her. It is raining outside and dark enough for lights at 3.30pm. It is also rather cold and the blanket has swayed HRH to curl up and purr.
Oh yes the endodentist was like that minus the hair covering.
