Hello Everyone!! Still rainy, windy and chill here.
Hope you an get that run in with the dogs, Ana!
Eveylne, I am not smart, that is what they call it when you are ordering one. They give you options for different parts and software. I just put an emphasis on media a that is his interest. BTW, I like your tree, ! Olive leaves resemble bay leaves.
A boat anywhere sounds good to me Lex. Enjoy!
Sharon thinking of you and saying a prayer when I do.
Enjoy your time away, Haroula.
And, Happy Gaming Everyone!

Oh L4l those poor boys seem to have that "pink eye" a lot. Prayers it heals quickly and stays away from you!!

I'm sure most have seen "Deer Crossing" signs along roads. Well, a women living on the outskirts of another small town not far from here had one of the signs; recently she call the county and asked that they move the sign to a different area, that, that was not a safe place for deer to cross...

Really, this happened.

Gimli, your little tree is really cute. Do they ship in any of the artificial trees there? I prefer those anyway.

Hope all have a great Sat.

Nan, that is soooooooooo cold! You are a trooper to go out in that.

My kids who I thought had everything actually never had pink eye....Per had it a couple of weeks ago and now Cully. I'm stringing some garlic and onions around my neck. I sooooooooooo don't want it.

Off to cook dinner.

Finally a break in my day's fun chores. So here's the fun news of the week. The same construction company that is doing the sidewalks on the street opposite me, is doing some up the road about 3 blocks. BUT get this, the people on that street (which is two blocks long) are not doing the WHOLE street. Nope, they have to agree and only one SIDE of ONE block agreed. So there is a sidewalk going in on one side of one block and nothing on the rest. Gonna be nice and then crappy across the street. I just can't imagine that one. We walked up there today, saw preparations started and it's going to be a mess when it's done (not now) ha. People! The minimal cost is about 1200 a house for one regular size driveway of about 18 feet wide. Then about 100 per each linear foot over that. AND they can pay it over TEN years. Maybe they all are strapped for money, but looking at the NICE houses and landscaping there, I think it's just a bah humbug area. Wow.

Outdoorsies are lining up early for the evening feeding. Must be going to get cold and dark early or something. I'm holding off as long as I can so it doesn't start a trend.

Stores are so crowded! I'm not going out until after Christmas unless it's an emergency. Terrible finding parking, people in a grabby crabby mood too. Yuk.

Took a happy trip to vets this AM -for flea stuff. The only unhappy one was me -70$!!! and that's only for 1 dog and 2 cats because I had 1 cat flea thing left over from last time. I did buy a bag of doggy treats too. But 70$ And they don't like it either -Commander is staying away from me. Well, let him be mad because I'll get the whole bed tonight.

Tomatos look good. Google says basil is a companion for them so that's next. I'll just plant some along the rolls. Ooooh tomatos and basil and olive oil and sea salt yumyum

Been in the 60's and 70's today and tomorrow the same.

Lotus I will try those other brands if our store has them. We are rural and often choices are limited. How's Finn?

For my B'Day I got a pair of black birkinstocks -oh joy. My shoe size is 7 1/2 wide and the closest they have around here is 8 medium but that doesn't cut it. So when I'm Austin I try to buy some shoes -lately not often.

bye for now

Oh Nan, I'm so sorry. I do see this trend. I wish them into non-existence but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know how you and your little Sassy can brave that sort of cold. i would think her little feet would be frozen to the ground!!!

Trippy, that is too funny about the woman and the deer sign!!

L4L, I'm so sorry about the little people. I hope you don't get it and that they aren't too miserable

I am able to find those brands at the local Wal Mart, which I don't like but.... I might be able to save you some $$ next time you need flea products. I will PM you soon.
Off I go, Still hailing and raining all day...sorry Nan and all East of me....

EDIT: As to brands I was talking to Yankee...sorry...

I simply forgot to come in to the Simply Saturday Diner and post when I got back home.

I spent a very windy day up on the hill shaking dirt through my sifter for nothing more than a pocket of flakes and chips.

It seems that finds, like my last really nice point, are about as rare as a beauty mark on my sister.

BAH HUMBUG!!!!

Well, another day off is shot, but at least I did enjoy being with my Baby dog.

Tomorrow, I will go out and Christmas shop start to finish, wrapped and labeled.

I hope you all had a day and your evening is just as happening.

joe

Joe and all...I'm just sitting in the corner working away. I ran the dogs in the woods just before dusk and it was creepy. We rousted the owls, deer and coyotes and it was creeping me out with the crunching of ice under my feet and the dogs on high alert sniffing the air and ground because everything in there was alive and ready to hunt. It was exhilarating and scary at the same time.

I hope you all had a great day.

Still no Sharon.

Good night Boomers.

Lotus don't feel bad cause we have no control of it. It is what it is!! Sometimes Sassy lasts longer out in the cold then I do. As long as the wind isn't really blowing it's not bad if you dress for it.

Trippy too funny about that lady.

Well time to count sheep for awhile!! Night all sleep well and pleasant dreams!!


Nan
