Sara, you think of the nicest things for furry friends and well as human ones. Thank you. I am baking acorns. To kill the worms/weevils. I'm house and dog sitting at a friends and she has the most marvelous oak trees and the ground it covered with huge and small acorns. I couldn't help collecting some and I know you have to bake them first before using them in a craft or keeping in the house. I will get some glue and laquer spray tomorrow for them and my friend will have a nice fall decoration when she comes home... a bowl full of acorns.
Greetings to all spacey Stories Spacers.
ALERT!
A Sausage & Biscuit update.
Whataburger (USff chain) has a breakfast menu that includes biscuits and gravy that's good, in fact, I'll be so bold as to say, real good. They serve breakfast from 11 pm to 11 am.
Elizabeth, if the tea is loose leaf, could you get filter tea bags, make up a bunch of them, and donate the tea to a food bank, if such exists where you live? Or donate the tin as is, to a food bank or a church group?
That is very lovely that two strangers paid for your anniversary dinner. The generosity and kind hearts of those who do such acts is wonderful.
As for me, after years, decades, of holding doors open, giving my seat on the bus or tram to people of a certain age or a pregnant woman, or woman with small children, well! A young woman offered her seat to me the other day, on a crowded tram. THAT is a first for me! I declined the offer, but thought it was very kind of her.
Thank you again to all who have asked about Himself, I can safely say that he is getting better although he needs to rest and take it easy, no going to the gym for example, before the end of the month. It isn't raining, so he can get outside and go for short walks, and the stairs no longer wind him. The doctor authorised him to get the flu shot in two weeks time, thank goodness, because the flu season hasn't hit yet, and he is still somewhat weak from the pneumonia, so he would be even more vulnerable.
I'm not a coffee or tea drinker. Even on the coldest of winter days, I prefer an ice-cold drink.
I love biscuits with sausage and gravy. My husband is Canadian (Newfoundland) and he refers to biscuits as buns. Especially tea buns which are basically a biscuit with raisins.
Continuing to deal with home repairs, organizations and remodels. While cleaning out the attic discovered a leak in the roof and a squirrel. After I stopped screaming I managed to chase it out the window. Even though it was a second story drop the squirrel ran off and up a tree and proceeded to chatter at me. He's fine. Today we try to figure out the roof situation. Hopefully, it is just the ridge vent which looks like it was bent up, probably by an animal.
I know I am alone in enjoying the cold weather. I am more energetic in brisk weather.
I hope everyone is healthy or healing. I'll take a Coke to enjoy before I get back to work.
Cheers!
7 degrees of chilly drizzle here. Brr! I'm still trying to get moving after dancing too much last night! A swing dancing friend put on a charity bash in aid of a local suicide prevention charity. A very good cause.
There was a live band and an invasion of swing dancers and the raffle raised nearly £500. A great night all round!
Thanks for the coffee, Rumps and congrats on your team's success!
Enjoy your rehearsal, Larry!
Larry, for some reason, your 'Challenge' story keeps telling me the validation key is inoperative. That's what it said yesterday afternoon and is now saying the same damn thing. I'm about to go to the mod forum to kick up a little dust. The file says Yas did the dastardly deed . Not sure why but since it was Yas, no doubt her motives were pure. I'll report back if and when I learn something.
Howdy folks
Sleepy start here then chores to be done.
A large sweet tea pretty please
*sitting out banana bread *
*sitting out treats for the critters*
Got a couple of things to do this afternoon .
Evening, all. Winter is not coming. It's here. At least where I am. Had to shovel for the first time on Friday, lost a lot of the snow on the weekend due to warmer weather, now we're getting it all back again. Supposed to stay just below 0 for a few days, too.
Something hot and tea-like is going in my mug, but I need to get some exercise first. I've been very on and off with my exercise routine recently, due to both physical and psychological reasons.
The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

It was 70 and sunny here today. Tomorrow rainy and cold. Thankfully got the roof and critter situation sorted out in time.
Apparently I am having Thanksgiving at my house again this year. No surprise there but this year's numbers will be much lower. Last year I think I had 20 or so people. Just ten of us this year, so far.
I'll have ginger ale and be curled up under a comfy blanket in the corner getting some reading done.
Cheers Everyone!
Morning folks!
Morning Larry thanks for the coffee this morning
It's 28F here and I'm not even looking forward to going out in it. A very busy day ahead.
But it should be fun since I get to spend it with a good friend running errands and getting lunch.
howdy folks
