Looks like I'm the first one here today
*looks at the coffee pot and puts coffee and the best water from Arizona and crossing my fingers *
*fills the tea kettle*
*puts cookies in the cookie jar and fills the food and water dishes for the little adorable mascots *
Yay the coffee is doing its thing and smells so good

Today's cookies are peanut butter and banana, peanut butter ginger snaps and strawberry shortcake cookies
Off to do my grocery shopping (FINALLY)

You're first and I'm last!! (well, unless Larry or Gill or someone saunters in)

Hmmm. From that list, I'll have a Peanut Butter Ginger Snap. Kettles on. Anyone else for tea.

Nothing much doing save packing for vacation. Jamaica looms. If I come back talking funny and wearing dreads (yeah right, like I'd ever have hair long enough), just ignore me. I'll get over it after a week or too.

Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?

Good afternoon, all. I spent a couple of hours looking at materials to use in renovating our kitchen. We are putting in new countertops, backsplash, lighting fixtures, and the sink with a new faucet. We are hiring a man to do the work with the supplies we have him get. It will be nice to have someone else do all of the actual work involved.

Nice treats today, Sara. I hope all of us can get some writing done soon.

Mmmmmm....ginger snaps with special flavoring! I love to dip them in milk! Thank you Sara!
The coffee is ready. Get it while it is hot. Not bad outside today. No white stuff coming down. That is good for my old bones right now.

How y'all are? Me, I was better but I'm getting over that. ;)

Coffee's on. And for the nasty nice types who may be among us, yes, the pot has been washed and filled with fresh, maybe even clean, water.

Now what we (and by 'we' I mean, 'me') needs is a batch of cinnamon rolls to help this coffee go down. That is, of course, just IMO.

Cinnamon Rolls? Ah'm on it, sir. I hate walking past Cinnabon in the local mall. That smell just makes me hungry. But I shall brave the temptation to get us a couple dozen of them beauties.

Kettles on for tea.

Oscars tonight. Anyone else going out of their way to avoid them or is that just me? (a) I have seen barely anything this year movie-wise and (b) awards shows (save some of the better music awards shows) bore me to tears. I am happy to just watch the highlights on Youtube and read the lists of winners.

I am listening to the piece below and watching snow drift down outside my window. It's perfect.

Evening, y'all. According the various weather god, the sun has just set out here in the desert. Temps soared up into the low 70's today but we'll try to endure the unendurable with no complaints (those are saved for the summer)

(btw, someone has done some serious damage to Sara's cookies -- wipes crumbs off fingertips to keep typing -- no accusations much less denunciations, just telling it like it is)

Hope all is well with all, and to all, a goodnight. ;)
Good day. The fresh coffee is on the stove percolating away. Hot water is ready. Nice weather outside. Now let's get to the day and see what we can make of it.


Morning, Larry. That was a most inspiring message making it perfect for 'Inspirations'. My problem is instead of trying to make something of another melancholy Monday. I tend to wind up trying to avoid the consequences. ;)

Thanks for the coffee. it' much needed in a critical, life-sustaining sort of way and is much depreciated.

Rub Vic's ears and tell him it's coming from me and I'll do the same for you with a certain terrier.

Later -- unless y'all get lucky.
howdy folks
A large hot tea would be great I have a bad case of the sniffles
Hoping to get some writing done today but just gonna play it by ear
Sorry for the late cookie delivery
*sees nothing but crumbs in the cookie jar... Cleans out the cookie jar and fills it with sugar cookies shaped like paw prints
New cookie cutter :


Happy Monday
Oops : I gave the animals fresh food and water and they have special treats

Bill you got a doggie? What's the doggies name and why is the doggie not hanging out here with the other animals?

Morning to all Spacey Spacers. Coffee is ready, willing and able to get you going.

Sara, dog-wise, what infests our place is a Tibetan Terrier -- that came from the Austin Animal Shelter. She and four other litter mates were discovered looking for a good time in downtown Austin.

Best way to find out what they look like is to look up a photo with Google images. That what I had to do having never heard of the fool things.

As to why no photos etc., well, when we first got her I could still see a bit but by now I've given up on that seeing foolishness which makes taking pics and messing with them difficult to impossible. BTW, Her name is 'G. G.( as in 'Gorgeous Girl).

The Wiki entry on Tibetan "Terriers", which apparently aren't terriers at all, but rather are part of the Asian lineage that includes the Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso. Lot of pictures in there so hopefully one of them resembles Rump's.

Good morning. Putting the kettle on. Anyone else for tea? And I hit the local Dutch bakery up for some of their legendary fritters. Apple, Blueberry, Cherry, and Lemon are on offer.

A veritable feast, it seems. Morning to all. I'll have a cuppa for sure.

*puts red and pink sugar cookies in the cookie jar *

I baked lots of cookies for the Valentine's Day party I'm attending in a few short hours. They wanted sugar cookies in case some of the ladies dont like strawberry shortcake.

Happy Tuesday folks

My Competition Story : 💜 Milly's Adventure https://www.storiesspace.com/stories/childrens/millys-adventure-2

Hello, all. It is snowing here. I think it is supposed to snow all day long. It will be a challenge for the pup to go out in it. Me, too.

We have our Arabica coffee hot and ready to drink if anyone wishes to partake.

howdy folks
A slow day here at the moment
Last night Valentine's Day party was a huge success lots of awesome gifts exchanged .
Chilly outside so a large hot chocolate is a great idea.

My Competition Story : 💜 Milly's Adventure https://www.storiesspace.com/stories/childrens/millys-adventure-2

My word, that's a range and a half of cookies, Sara!

Bill, GG sounds like a sweetheart!

And I'm sure Victor isn't very keen on the snow, Larry!

I'll gave a ginger and lemon tea before bedtime here, and I might snag a cookie with it. smile
Morning and a happy Valentine's Day to both lovers and the loved. Coffee's on and it ain't that bad, honest.

Sara, just occurred to me that it might be fun to work up a story where Vic visits Scamp and company.

Curvy, hope you didn't take too many cookies, last night. (checks jar) Whew, plenty left. ;)

Y'all don't forget the writing challenge and have a great weekend.

Good morning, all. Very good coffee, Bill. The temperature is 7F/-14C degrees. Really too cold for me and the pup.

We're staying in most of the day, I think.

Don't forget that Victor and Mr. Larry visited with Miss Emily in the last adventure about the moon spaceship. But they did not get to play with all of the farm critters.

Time for afternoon tea, now.
