I'll have a double Cappuccino made with long shots.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Then along came Starbucks's, and then I outgrew that, and then came the indie coffee shops and the little Italian cafes along Commercial Drive and the freshly roasted beans form all over the world, and coffee got a whole lot more complicated.  My coffee machine will actually make plain old coffee, though I tend to enjoy an Americano instead.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

The only time I have coffee "out" is if I'm visiting friends/family or am out for a restaurant meal - but I stay with my usual then as well.
Guess I'm just a plain ol' stick in the mud 🤡

Today I'm taking stock of what's in the garage  . There are tools and bags of "stuff" that we moved with twice and yet haven't looked at in at least ten years. Yesterday I found a pup tent that has to be 45 years old.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Sounds like a whole new adventure hagatha, and perhaps the cue for a garage sale!

Heading down to the horse rescue ranch to do a tour at 12:30 today. Absolutely beautiful day - about 82°F!
Smoked a bunch of ripe jalapenos yesterday and put in the dehydrator to make chipotles. Hope to grind them later today. Also put on a huge pot of sweet pickles - the process takes about 5 - 8 days. Yesterday, I sliced and covered with boiling water. Today is drain and cover with boiling salt solution. Tomorrow is drain and cover with boiling alum solution and then it's cover with cider vinegar and pickling spices for 3 days. After that it, put in jars with sugar and seal in a boiling water bath.
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Seems as though everyone is busy these days. I'm about to take my coffee outside on the balcony since it's a beautiful morning. The cats both think that's the best thing ever and will join me out there.

Hello Boomers, hope you are all well! My sister is home from hospital, with nurses coming in four times a day. The back story to her illness involves her partner, who is an active alcoholic. She had just been discharged home from hospital the day before she became ill. He is supposed to be her carer but had spent that day (Saturday) and all of the night drinking, in his room, and smoking weed. He hadn't attended her as he should have so was unaware of her plight. He hadn't even noticed that she hadn't been up to visit the toilet or hadn't asked for a cup of tea or anything all that day. Her youngest son found her unresponsive at 11am on the Sunday. She had been sick and had inhaled the vomit. You guys know of this from my post asking for prayers for her. He has kept up with the drinking etc all the time she was in hospital. This is what she was discharged home to because he has no intentions of stopping. If the nurses coming in have any suspicions at all that he is drinking, they will stop attending my sister. She knows what she has to do but it will not be easy. My other sisters and I are all worried sick about her. Hubby hasn't been very well this past week. He has been in a lot of pain and is taking more and more morphine. He goes to see his oncologist on the 24th of this month and I will be going with him to make sure the doctor knows what has been going on. Hubby is in denial at the moment and I know for a fact he would tell the doctor everything is okay, as he has done in the past. His appetite is beginning to dwindle as well so I have been making sure he has his Ensure drinks to supplement what he is eating. I haven't been able to go with him up till now because of Covid but things are more relaxed now and I WILL be going with him this time! He's not too happy about this but that is just too bad!  Weather here is very warm, unbearably so. As we don't have air conditioning here, I have fans blasting cool air everywhere! I never have been one for hot weather, I prefer autumn and winter temperatures. Nothing much happening here today, just spending a quiet day with hubby who is sleeping at the moment. Enjoy the rest of your Friday, guys! Much love, Mary

I don't know how you do all that stuff Draclvr. I can barely make myself a meal these days. It's usually a half day project.  I'm not busy hagatha, though I have plenty of things I should be doing. I miss my cats terribly.  MsMercury, you have my sincerest, best wishes for you, your hubby, and your sister.  I have also always preferred the cooler/cold temperatures. Off to do my nothing now.

oldbroad, I am going to be 75 shortly and if I didn't stay busy and active, I would turn into a fat old woman! I'm just not ready for that yet! I'm just glad I can still do these tours which are a good 2 miles of walking for a full tour. I'm looking forward to the tour today - it's a Morgan Horse Club group.
Tomorrow will be weeding in the flower beds. Now if only I could find someone to come mop my kitchen floor! After all the canning and cooking lately, it's a disaster!
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

MsMercury,
I'm terribly sorry to hear about your sister's husband. Life with an active drinker must be awful for her, and he sounds as though he's a long way down that rabbit hole. I hope she can get herself out of that situation.
You must be so very worried about your husband. I'm glad you're going with him this time.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
