Weekend Lounge, November 22-23, 2014

Thanks guys! … and yes, Abby has free run of the house … however, she is well trained and NEVER gets on countertops, tables, or furniture that she’s not allowed on …. she really is good … I keep throws on the back of the couches in places that she’s allowed to nap, and on the foot of the beds … she’s really good about staying in ‘her’ places, and I give her many options …. she actually prefers her donut beds to anywhere, especially the one in the family room that is between out TV chairs, and has the heating pad …. she spends the majority of her time there …. LOL

… well, time for me to scare up some dinner … I have a craving for a nice juciy hamburger, so it’s that and oven fries tonight (weekend indulgence!)

Joan, our angel in the panhandle, Maggi, is a Facebook friend now so we keep in touch. Last I talked to her she hadn’t given up. She was still putting up posters we had sent to her. She has been such a blessing. It’s so great to have someone in the area. She has really networked with people and done her best to get the word out. And if we ever get a lead, Maggi will gladly check it out for us.

No, Leo didn’t mind. He grew to love her. She had such a special relationship with all the cats. I was just looking through some photos of her wrestling with Emily. Emily will not let the boys wrestle her. They are too rough.

Yeah, I think it does change a bit season to season, being agricultural especially. There have been some hard freezes recently, so that would change the appearance I bet.

Oh ECB it must be so hard 🙁 my heart aches for you it really does. The “what ifs” just ripe your heart out.

Joan I imagine the grass still tallish but dried out so it’s a light sandy colour … It’s not as high when it’s green .. What kind of crop would that be.

Oh, yeah, definite frost in the panhandle and where I am in northeast FL too. We had record lows this past week. Warmed back up though, as it always does.

Back in for a warmer on my latte as finished most of project in record time. I always seem to beat my deadlines, but like to give myself some leeway so as not to stress out. Told myself that I’d just sit in front of screen and see what happens and 1.5 hrs later the words started flowing from my fingertips it’s 95% done, just need some basic info from client.
Did interfere with knitting plans, but hey, I don’t get paid to knit LOL.
AV, your table looks gorgeous. All set up like 4 days in advance (which BTW I would also do) and Abby doesn’t make herself at home on it – wow! Might sound a tad strange, but although I never entertain past scaring up a coffee, I appreciate the look of table settings. Actually have a coffee table size book “Table Settings, Entertaining and Etiquette”. Guess I like the prettiness and formality, it’s the food thing that holds little to no interest for me. If pressed (highly unlikely), I guess that I would cater everything. My interests/traits lie elsewhere. Whatever.
Buttons, nice that your 2 girls are getting acquainted! Sounds like you have kitty competition for Mr. B’s affection! 😉
It snows in FL??? That’s a new one on me!
Hi back Joan *waves*

Well MS, I had a day like you: had plans but did nothing I planned even though it turned out okay! I guess we need to be flexible that way, huh?!
I have been enjoying reading about Ms. Moneypenny getting along with her siblings, and Joan about Mac coming in and learning the ropes.
AV your table is gorgeous, but like ECB, it would be covered with hair and a few of the plates would make nice beds for the cats, LOL. They scamper off when I tell them to, but Willow doesn’t even under stand the words “would you please get down”, and if I shoo him he thinks I am playing. I can’t really get mad at him though, he’s so cute sitting on his back legs like a squirrel trying to box my hands when I am trying to shoo him….I am such a sucker!
It has started to rain here and will be warm again tomorrow. Not too bad for this time of year, but the flies are starting to warm up that were trapped in the windows and they are flying around bumping the ceilings and looking for warm lights to crawl into. Willow and Leona are frantic about it at the moment.
It took me forever to read three pages of this thread, so I am going to go grab something to munch on and see everyone later, or tomorrow, I’m not sure which!! 😉

Just quickly checking in while awake.. MS the capsules definitely mix better cause the powder in it is very fine.. Yay for HRH eating all her royal din dins 🙂

Joan so glad you are feeling more relaxed and less stressed! I hope good things continue that way for you. Okay, now I really AM going to get something to munch on….
