Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 31, 2020 #1876 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Went on a road trip this morning to our local meat packers. Saw this when I got there. Yup, that’s snow. 3 hours later I returned with some goodies. The lady that runs the retail store is the matriarch of the business. She might be in her mid 70s to 80s, but she is the “real boss” and even the government inspectors treat her like gold. 18 strips and 18 ribeyes, aged and vacuumed sealed. She asks how far you have travelled and then gives you some freebies. How far dictates the freebies. She gave us 12 oz ribeyes even though the box says 10oz and filled the paper bag with more. Cash only in this store. 🙂 And these were the goodies in the bag. I love this lady, old school European and she gives away meat. I mean the only thing that would make it better is if she gave away cruises. After lunch I finished the barn. Lucy assumed her position. Look to the right on the bales. She refused to come down so she was locked in. Neighbour’s are busy with in their field. Edited October 31, 2020 by A&L_Ont 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 31, 2020 #1877 Share Posted October 31, 2020 After supper pumpkins done. On a good year we get 8 kids, who knows about 2020. Lucy still wasn’t ready to come down, she hadn’t moved at all. I think I’m getting the stink eye for turning the lights on and waking her. Tomorrow she will be ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ended up with 7 to 8 inches. Temperatures stayed lower than expected. Luckily for me, my son was home today and took care of it so my DH could get up the driveway after work. He shoveled it all but could have pulled out the snow blower as the neighbors did. Going to be an interesting Halloween if it all doesn't melt tomorrow.

Expensive hobby Oh, my husband would love it there. He spends a good portion of his day building and flying huge RC planes. Yes, the hobby is expensive, but I say it's cheaper than a psychiatrist. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike is very allergic to them so the bedroom is a big no no. When he's gone I will sometimes sleep on the couch with them. 😽 On 10/28/2020 at 9:38 AM, John&LaLa said: Blending the Limoncello Do you reuse the lemon peels? Mine is still sitting in the cabinet. I think I'll try it in a couple of weeks. I want mine to taste very lemony. On 10/28/2020 at 10:32 AM, helen haywood said: If you enlarge the photo you will see some kneading damage... A kitten was recently added to the mix and the chair is now draped in protective towels. I’d forgotten the kitten proofing requirements... Clear mantels and table tops, close off certain rooms, no defrosting on the counters, resign yourself to either replacing sofas or embracing shabby chic... The last stray we took in started scratching on a corner of a leather sofa. We bought a scratching post and put it up against the corner. Problem solved. When the post is moved around the living room she will seek it out to scratch on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just rescued one from outside our house and she is adapting very well to her new big brother. I had not really given a thought to how many inside cats exist across the world. I don’t feel so bad for mine now. This one is so little, looks just like yours in your picture. She has been with us for 36 hours and already comes to see me if I call her name! At least we have something special happening this week. We would normally have been travelling to Barcelona for a Western Med cruise on the Epic. I am going to spending the whole week thinking ‘today I would be boarding’, ‘today we would have been at sea’, today we would be in Naples’ ... I wonder if we will ever go again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best is seeing the sea from your veranda with a chilled glass of wine. 2nd best is same, but without the wine. 3rd will be b'fast with coffee. ..... You get my drift. And, then, much more down the list, there is seeing the sea from the beach.... 20201029_064048.mp4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee Eight Posted October 31, 2020 #1894 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Yesterday it was a bit brisk for Florida weather. Long sleeve when riding. Today and going forward, more Winter in the air. We worked with a new rider yesterday in the cones. I did the video. Instruction/coaching from RideMasters USA. Today and tomorrow, we will be on the “pad” training new riders. This is more advanced skills training than the basic license endorsement class. The skills we teach might help save your life on two wheels.

Laugh out loud funny, so long as you're not easily offended (I warned you!). I'd never heard of it but it ran for 5 seasons on Showtime starring Matt LeBlanc as himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
