That is good news on your doctor appointment Connie! Glad you got some much needed rain Draclvr!

Gerry

The tea was wonderful Gerry ... thank you! Woo hoo Connie, good news ... the bagels hit the spot this morning. Glad to hear you got some rain Draclvr. Have a great evening everyone!

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Summer is really flying by this year! Extra strong coffee to start your Friday along with a nice refreshing tea!

Enjoy your day everyone!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Manicure is on the agenda today. Karaoke with friends tonight at Hacienda. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Thanksf or coffee and donuts.

Over here a warm but not hot Friday.

Today is also Fête nationale française.
Congratulations to those who celebrate.
I intend to mark the occasion with some chèvre on the baguette.

It's Friday, Gameboomers!

I'm starting my prep work today for a "Thanksgiving in July" tomorrow afternoon. The Germans requested that I do a turkey for them while they are here as they have never had a turkey. So, I'm doing the whole 9 yards for them with dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cousin Dorothy's cranberry relish, a pumpkin and a peach pie and all the other sides. I love cooking this meal, so I'm looking forward to it!

Fogfighter, there's almost nothing I like better than some soft cheese on a crusty bread, perhaps with some olives or peppers on the side. I have a version of that almost every day for lunch.

Drac, I used to make huge turkey dinners for holidays. I think the last time I did that would have been Christmas of 2019.

We've had some lovely weather lately. I've been so busy packing I haven't been able to enjoy it, but today I have to drive down to Comox. I thought I'd drop by the mover's warehouse and see if they have any boxes I can use for packing my two large framed Robert Bateman prints. While I'm down there I might also go for lunch at my favourite restaurant, Locals, one last time before I move.

Draclvr: I'm sure the Germans will appreciate the Summertime Thanksgiving Special.

hagatha: Sounds like a great lunch habit.

Just back from Comox/Courtenay, where I had a great coffee at my favourite coffee shop, then for a bit of shopping and on to a last lunch at my favourite restaurant, Local's. Tuna Tataki Stack. Yum!

Good evening everyone ... long day today, but as you all have noted it's T.G.I.F. Friday!!!!

Wow, Draclvr, what a treat for your visitors. FogFighter, I hope you and the many others enjoyed and had a great Fête nationale française! Yum Hagatha...sounds like you had a wonderful day.

Enjoy the evening everyone ... and welcome to the weekend.

Good Morning Connie, Fogfighter, Draclvr, hagatha, soot, and everyone. The usual extra strong double dark brew await you all along with breakfast tea.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Gerry

Good Morning Gerry and every one else. I'll start the day with strong black coffee

Howdy folks, hope you all have a great weekend!

Hagatha, you are on a roll and counting down to exploring for your new favourite local restaurant.

Here's a cute household gadget https://www.housebeautiful.com/shop...-robot-takes-care-of-your-plant-for-you/

Wind and showers here, so perhaps some of the indoor maintenance may get done...

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lex, quite the little plant robot. Working the kitchen for our dinner at the Eagles tonight, trivia to follow. Enjoy the weekend and hug someone.

Good morning Gerry, FogFighter, Lex, Connie and everyone else who pops in. I agree FogFighter, the extra strong double dark brew is wonderful Gerry...keep it coming. Wishing you a great weekend too Lex...good luck with your indoor chores. That little robot is quite engaging. Thank you for the bagels Connie, have fun at Eagles tonight. Projects and chores are on my docket. Have a great weekend!

That plant robot is pretty cute. I wonder how my cats would react. I was thinking about getting one of those robotic lawn mowers for the new place but the lawn area isn't very big. It would probably only take about 20 minutes to mow anyway.

Glad you are enjoying the extra strong coffee Fogfighter and soot! Hagatha I think the plant robot would freak the cats out! Lex hope you get some sunshine. Connie sounds like a busy night.

I'm still watching the Tour De France every day!

Gerry

Well, the Thanksgiving in July dinner was a huge success! Another thing they had never had was pumpkin pie and they loved it. Stepson and DIL were here too and we pretty much demolished the 16 pound turkey. We are sitting around in a food coma tonight!

Draclvr wish I could enjoy some of your delicious leftovers! All sounds sooo good!

As usual extra strong double dark brew awaits you all! Tea for those who wish too.

Have a Peaceful Sunday!

Gerry

Drac, glad the dinner went off with a bang,

Hagatha, I am told it is rather therapeutic to have a drink in your hand while watching one of those automatic mowers cutting your grass...

Continuing unsettled weather here, but the tennis finals from Wimbledon have been the main events for this household over the weekend, especially Djokovic v Alcaraz later today!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Shopping is on the agenda today. Enjoy your day and hug someone.

I'd like to take a break today, but the sweet corn is ready. Which means we'll be shucking corn, blanching, cutting it off the cob and freezing. The Germans will be helping with shucking the corn, so that should go much faster. There will be plenty left out in the corn patch for some corn on the cob for the next couple of weeks.

Have a fabulous Sunday, Gameboomers!

Good morning everyone. Oh my yes Draclvr, food coma's are wonderful after a Thanksgiving meal and fresh corn on the cob is awesome! Thank you Gerry and Connie for the coffee, tea and treats ... busy day today with prep for work and then gaming with family and cap the day with a good book. Have a wonderful day y'all.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the new week and hug someone.

Super strong coffee (bought French roast by mistake) and I'm off to Home Depot once again for more boxes. The movers are coming tomorrow for the bulk of my stuff, so I need to be ready for that.
