I was sad to hear about Bella, Draclvr 🥺 Hope you cope alright 🌺

Good Morning and Happy Fourth of July! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Connie sorry to hear about your Jack, trivia host...sending healing prayers for his wife Pam. Draclvr sorry to hear it is Bella's time...it is so difficult to make that decision. You mentioned hubby continues to lose weight? Have the doctors tested him for parasites? Sometimes that can cause weight lose.

Soot hope your leaky sink is fixed. Fogfighter I got some of your rain yesterday thanks...it was much needed.

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Gerry

Independence Day!

Joining the celebrations from afar with a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It was that or Bud Light. But Bud light is too light for European buds so Sierra Nevada it is.

Glad to hear the weather was successfully delivered. The witch express is mostly, but not always reliable.

Happy Independece Day, to those who celebrate

Good morning, Danish. Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, I'm sorry to hear it's Bella's time, Big Hugs. Happy 4th, I'm getting set up for the BBQ. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

I'm very sorry to hear you have to put Bella to sleep Drac, something I hope I never have to do

Happy Fourth of July everyone

Happy 4th July to all you folks over there in the USA !!

And my apologies for not getting back here again in time for Canada Day …. so late good wishes for all Canadians also !!

Love the fireworks 👍👍👍

Good Friday morning! And a happy Independence Day to all in the US.

Gerry, hubby has had every scan, scope and blood test out there... The colonoscopy Wednesday was clear of anything including parasites.

Some friends have a big 4th of July celebration at their place out in the country even further than us. We usually go, but there is a lot of uneven ground and walking down to their lake and his bad knee just isn't up to it. There is a lot of sitting around in the heat drinking beer involved while watching all the kids have fun playing in the lake! And of course tons of food. They always put on a huge fireworks show at dark too. But we're skipping it this year and leaving it to the younger crowd.

Spent some time in town with stepson's family yesterday. It was so good to see our granddaughter and her husband who are on leave from the Army. Finally got to meet his two littles who are with them for a couple of months from Puerto Rico. Also got to meet his mom and stepdad who are also here. They live in Connecticut, but are from Puerto Rico. His mom promised to made us Puerto Rican food tomorrow! That is when we'll be celebrating granddaughter's marriage... they got married by proxy while deployed in Poland!

Happy Independence Day to all US pals and belated 1st July wishes to the Canucks (taking a leaf out of Mad's book)!

Drac, sorry to hear that Bella's race is run.

And, as is my wont, here is some humour to help the day along:

Happy Friday the 4th everyone. Enjoy those BBQ's if that's what you're doing!

Drac, did you arrange to do it at home or at the vet's office?

I hope you all enjoy the day!

Oldbroad, our vet doesn't do home euthanasia - I asked. Since he is a friend, I have a feeling he would, but he is out of town for the holiday weekend. Our problem is getting her there because she is such a huge dog. Luckily our grandson is off work Monday and can help us get her into the truck. She only eats what we eat, so she ate a bratwurst last night! I partially fried up some burger and added a little rice and carrots and she ate a small amount this morning. But her condition is deteriorating very quickly and I have to assume she's in pain. We just can't let her suffer.

Oh, I thought you mentioned earlier that you had found out they would do it at your home. I'm so sorry.

Drac; I am so very sad about Bella, having to say goodbye to our fur babies is the hardest thing.

Draclvr, I'm so sorry about Bella. It's so hard to let them go, but when their lives aren't good any more it's the right thing to do.

Good afternoon everyone and Happy 4th of July. Draclvr, glad to hear son can help you on Monday. Gerry, leaky sink was fixed. Connie sorry to hear about Jack, keeping Pam in my thoughts and prayers. Lex, most excellent humour that's easier said than pun. It's pouring outside right now but just a passing thunderstorm...should get to grill our burgers later.

Have a wonderful afternoon everyone

Good Morning everyone! Hope you all in the USA enjoyed the 4th of July holiday! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Lex love the puns! Made me laugh out loud!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Gerry

Good morning everyone!

Still lauging at the pun-fun. While enjoying the WADDB.

Over here 15 Celsius and rain.

Happy Saturday GameBoomers!

Good morning Gerry Fogfighter and all who follow. Enjoying a cup of wide awake double dark brew and looking forward to a quiet day without fireworks.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. The BBQ was a big success. A Sam's trip is on the agenda today. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Saturday morning! A toasty one is ahead for the marriage celebration for our granddaughter and her husband. I made a huge cole slaw last night to bring.

We stayed home yesterday because hubby's knee was killing him, but the neighbors put on a HUGE fireworks show next door. They had a big party out by their pool with the music up LOUD all day! They asked us once if it bothered us and we said, heck no. It makes us happy to see you enjoying your home out in the country! Back in the day, we had a few loud parties out here too.

Oldbroad, I was hoping to be able to set up home euthanasia, but he has stopped doing it.

Good Morning connie, Fogfighter, soot, Draclvr, hagatha, and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start your day!

Hope you all enjoy a peaceful Sunday!

Gerry

Good morning everone!

Sunday without sunshine. Got to make do with clouds and coffee.

Happy Sunday Gameboomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie, Fogfighter, Gerry, Draclvr and all who follow. No worries Fogfighter, as tomorrow is another day for sunshine. Relaxing with wide awake double dark brew and bagels this morning. Keeping, you, hubby and Bella in my thoughts and prayers Draclvr.

Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday!

It's going to be another hot day today.

My friend and I went to Art in the Garden yesterday. It's an annual fair held on a beautiful private property that has a large pond and huge grounds. At least a hundred local artisans put up booths. There was pottery, carvings, paintings, fabrics and a lot of jewellery. Much of it is awful and amateurish, but some is truly wonderful. I hadn't intended to buy anything but somehow came home with an absolutely lovely, heavy woven silver necklace from an artisan who makes the most gorgeous, simple, elegant pieces. Something to wear at my nephew's wedding, I suppose.

Today I'm off for a good walk to burn off some of the ice cream I had yesterday (yes from another local artisan at the fair).

Good morning all. Gray skies here and they fit right in with the funk I've been feeling lately, which I think might be starting to lift. I did manage to cook something last night but (as usual) it didn't seem to have much flavor.

I was quite surprised (and happy) by the fireworks not being so bad this year. The neighborhood has started to quiet down.

I hope you each enjoy your day!

And, oh yeah. Did I mention that I'm being invaded by red ants in my washroom and teeny spiders hanging down from my washroom and kitchen ceilings?
