Now, if could skip to Spring!

Puff -- hoping that Monday gets you all "repaired" and you can settle back and just enjoy life for a bit -- no Docs, no cutting, no stitching -- just getting used to 'normalcy'.

Teka, that un-stuffed cabbage sounds really good.  Also sounds like the flavors would come together more than they do in Glompkies -- I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong, but it is stuffed cabbage which I was only luke-warm about because the sauce always sort of drained away as you ate it.  Now your recipe I would love to try.  Wonder why I never thought of making it anyhow --- I make un-stuffed green peppers.  Sigh !!!

I'm not in a hurry for the cold weather ( 30 degrees outside this a.m. ) but not because I can't do ok.  I just don't like some of it as I worry it will prevent me from getting out and getting my feral cats fed.  I really only have two at the farthest point I go.  The one I know is fairly old -- has the thin, no longer robust appearance.  Still just as loving ( to me ) as he has been for a long, long time, but I worry about him and the winter weather  He is adamant about being shut in anywhere -- so bringing him home is not really an option.  The one who has become a litter-mate is a black long haired three-legged cat.  One of the back legs is missing.  He?/She too is not too robust but does seem not the worst for wear.  If something happens to the orange and white -- I think I would just bring that one home with me.  Then I could stop going out so far and only deal with the two mile trek into town -- that feeding area is right as you enter town. 

Wren, now you have me worried.  Dh and I have noticed -- it sure seems the nicer it is in and around the West Coast area -- the worse it is for us.  If your predicted for a "good" winter, then we could be really in for it.  Well, it will be what it is and we will deal with it and go on -- as we always do.   Still so fond of the saying " It's amazing what you can do when you have no choice".  I'll just be hoping for not much ice.  That poses some touchy issues.  Especially for anyone who loves the vertical position out of doors.

See you all later.

Blessings

Hi everyone---u gals re going at it like crazy.

Mimi ad Wren t I LOLed on those 2--well especially buying licences--to funny

Ad all this talk about food I don't know anything about--The best thing to do CHEVY is make it all and pack it up in dry ice and send us some, then we can fairly judge it.

Carole it's so good u see u'r niece and I truly pray she can come out of this a better person and live happily.

Oh Chit I can't remember anything, but I do know whatever Jackie said I agree with, she's always so cool about things.

And it got cold and windy here, not like fall, but like winter

*Good Morning*

Brrr, it is pretty nippy here.  Thin layer of ice on the water bucket outside in the dog pen.  We have their heater on inside the house and we have a bucket that has a heat coil -- enough to keep their water from freezing, but we know we are not quite to the REALLY frozen water stage yet. 

Good ole' daylight savings ( turn the clock back this time ) happened during the night.  We don't change our clocks the night before -- just do them all in the morning and it works fine for us.  Got to stay in bed an extra hour ( or so it felt by watching the clock with the wrong time ) this morning.  I could have gotten up as the coffee was ready.  We set it on a timer so that we can have coffee as quick as we are ready for it.   I think this is the ONE time that I can actually say I got to sleep in.  I always think I will but seldom ever do.

Carole, you know sometimes I could just grab myself and give myself a good shake.  I actually had forgotten that I could take anything I might like -- like cabbage, and google it.  Sometimes I amaze myself by some of the things I've taught myself to do -- and other times, well my head is hanging  to my knees almost in dejection and embarrassment for what totally slips through my head and most obviously keeps right on going.  Talk about a "duh" moment, but I'm so glad you said what you did -- because if I make a banner for my computer room -- something gentle of course,  like   LOOK IT UP STUPID maybe I'll remember the easy answers instead of thinking everything is somehow complicated. 

I have so many friends here and money sure can't buy that.

I'm hoping you are all going to have a bright, sunny day -- even if nippy, and that you can enjoy your day.  It's a gorgeous Fall day here. 

Talk to you all later.

Blessings,

Jackie

HB!!
