It does that on my iPad, but on the PC it loads properly. (Only on Radio's thread)

So sweet. 🙂

Sorry to hear you are impacted by the hurricane, and glad you were able to get to a hotel. I hope power is restored to your home soon. The news from the Asheville NC area is frightening.

Awesome! I hope you enjoy a wonderful cruise! Enjoy!

It was an emotional support chicken! Speaking of which, after you posted the ESC you knitted, I started working on a crocheted version to give to our granddaughter. She named it Skittles.

@Sea Dog I thought of you when I read about this estate sale in Virginia Beach. They are selling a collection of thousands of vintage Christmas ornaments. https://www.estatesales.net/VA/Virginia-Beach/23455/4223343 Im not sure if this link to a newspaper article will work for you but I’ll try. https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/09/18/thousands-of-vintage-christmas-ornaments-part-of-virginia-beach-estate-sale/

Thanks for sharing pictures of your stay in Hawaii. They brought back wonderful memories. I'm so jealous! You had a long trip home... did you fly in two or three segments? We recently took a 5 hour non-stop flight and I thought it would never end. 🙂

I'm so happy you were able to escape the madness and see your cousin and her DH again. I hope you have a wonderful time.

We keep bird feeders filled with sunflower seed. Invariably some seed drops to the ground and sprouts, and we get a few sunflower plants. Earlier this summer, some sort of critter apparently tried to climb one of these sunflowers, bending and snapping it such that it laid on the deck. I thought it would die. Instead, that thing grew and grew and grew like the Incredible Hulk. The initial stalk is the diameter of a baseball bat, and there are easily 100 flowers and buds on it. It has taken over the deck. Mother Nature is amazing. Here’s a picture of that one plant.

It looks like someone has added some embellishments to the statue. 🙂

They knew you were coming! Did you buy any yarn from them?

She was outnumbered! Hopefully no blood was involved.

That’s only because my night blooming cereus is getting ready to bloom, only one bud, but I remember your dad’s wall filled with blooms. So impressive.

I hope that’s not the fence with the night blooming cereus growing on it.

I found this picture of me the other day. I think this might be the last time I ironed.

I just did that this morning, as we are headed to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. It will get us free parking and a discount on some shows. It also waives the hotel resort fee but we’re not staying at a MGM property. Call MGM Rewards with your Rewards number and C&A number and they will do the status match. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/pdf/mgm-partnership-benefits-page-2024.pdf https://www.mgmresorts.com/en/mgm-rewards/tiers.html It took all of ten minutes to do. You have to renew it every year unless you accumulate enough MGM points for it to carry over to the next year.

I love reading about your walks and seeing the pictures of the trails. I wish I could do as much as you and Susan do!

I did that twice and have no regrets. Two awesome sons were my reward. 🙂

Happy 50th Birthday, Brian! He sounds like a real keeper! George, you took the words right out of my mouth!

Such a cute couple. Happy anniversary!

I'm tired just thinking of all that you are doing. Hawaii sounds wonderfully relaxing!

It's nice that the new condo is conveniently located next to the curtains. 🙂😻

Camp NanaPapa sounds like fun! Enjoy those boys!

Annabel is a smart kitty!

I'm loving the cuddly kitty pictures. @helen haywood @StanleyandGus. I had to dig up one of Miss Priss and Marcel. Our house is so different now without them. As far as furniture clawing goes, I invested in double-sided tape and put it where they liked to scratch. Once they learned not to claw, I took it off. But when we bought new furniture, I had to start over again with the tape deterrent.
