Weekend Cafe Oct 11 – Oct. 12

Good morning ECB – rainy day here, though I will have to get my act together at some point. I’ve done not much at home all week except sleep, shower and take care of the cats. Been down the valley at my mom’s hanging out with my visiting sister. Today my brother is coming up from Maryland, so tonight all five of us kids will be at the dinner table.
Think I’ll relax in the lounge for a while first.

Morning Joan, nice to visit with family 🙂

I love pictures of pumpkins all decorated and such, but really only like pumpkin pie and not much else made with it.

Is it almost 0800 MST yet, c’mon it has to be close doesn’t it, lol. The last couple of hours are dragging terribly here.

Good Morning all! …. happy Caturday! ….. I too managed to sleep in today, and look forward to not having any pressing agenda 🙂

…. looking thru my recipe books this morning, need to find something to take to Brother’s tonite for dinner …… those ‘spider’ deviled eggs keep coming back to mind, may have to make those ….

Hi there KZ, enjoy those 3 days. TDK is awesome for me too – I love coming here, and enjoy the people and atmosphere.
Those spider eggs are a hoot, AV, I’m thinking of making them if we go to a Halloween thing.
That program sounds interesting, Judith. Enjoy grandma time!
I’m hanging out at mom’s kitchen table – all 5 of us “kids” are here!

Just noted that “Show me What’s Happening” has been edited to “Recent Activity” – much clearer – tks KM!

My two cents on “where is everyone”. For the record, I love it here, as KZ and most of us have mentioned. Peeps are always going to be at different places in their life, work, etc. and this is going to have an effect on participation. I love that peeps from all over the world and totally different lives/lifestyles have virtually come together to create a place that while each of us might have a vision of what the Café looks like, all are welcome. Just to step out of daily life and chat about any and everything is a blessing.

I have been a regular for about a year now, Facebook is not a social media that I am comfortable with, and I like being here (think that point got across!)

Hi ECB *waves*
Would love to stick around a bit but must get something to eat and a latte as have slept for most of day. So purrhaps L8R or tomorrow in this wonderful Fall Café, this being my fave season!

Hi KZ *waves*,

Missed all of you!

I was a tad apprehensive as centrepiece vs Dorry, but he does OK with my other “realistic” foliage/flowers and does not go on table so might not realize all the interesting “finds” within it. If he gets too curious one of them will unfortunately have to go – and it won’t be Dorry! LOL
Must now as mentioned eat something ere I pass out, and see what delights my TV’s PVR recordings will provide.

Hi all, mid Sunday afternoon here and the first time today I’ve had to myself.
Daughter and son in law came around for breakfast on the balcony, it was so sunny and warm we had to put the umbrella up over the table. After that we went back to their place to help them assemble a small galvanised iron shed they had bought recently. They had the flooring all in place so we just had to put the many pieces back together and screw it all in place and then walk the shed onto the floor and fasten it down. It went very well until we went to put the doors on and the pile of firewood was in the way so we had to stack the wood in the shed. Personally I think they planned it that way. They’re happy that’s it all up and looking rather nice in the back yard. Daughter believes that before the end of the week their cats will have discovered how to get on the roof where it will be great to sun themselves. Next job is to attach a trellis and grow sweetpeas up it to soften the look of the shed.
Joan, please say Hi to Jroc from me. Have the two of you got up to mischief yet? 😉
Oh, we were about to begin breakfast and HRH was nice enough to yak on the balcony steps, just grass and saliva thankfully.
Mmmmmm pumpkins, the first of the new seasons pumpkins are in the shops here and I am sowing seeds today for my pumpkin patch or should I say my buttercup patch. Also sowing zucchini seeds and also radishes and carrot. Roll on gardening weather but with some rain too.
Judith, fascinating that the cats were mimicking bird calls. Sneaky too.
KJ another good score – again. 🙂
Off to sow seeds for Summer eating.

Love reading the Café thread today, nothing but smiles and that is a good thing.

Everyone has been busy or so it seems, I have been lucky to pick up the mesquite tree bean pods that I raked up a week ago 🙂

I am working very hard on keeping my mouth shut right now, the new guy is working tonight and he is lazy as can be, actually I am surprised that he is still awake. Can’t remember ever being in a new job and being that lazy and then having the audacity to sleep even….heck I don’t sleep at work now 🙁
