Goodnight Boomers.

So sorry to hear of lil soot, soot and L4L. My heart breaks for you both.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your pet, soot. Always such a heartbreaking time

Good Morning all. Soot I'm so sorry to hear of little soot's passing. My heart goes out to you and L4L.

Fresh coffee and tea are ready to share.

Have a peaceful day everyone.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room.

I'm having a nice strong cappuccino on the deck with two happy cats. I'm out of town for a night and I've stuffed them full so they don't get hangry and pick on each other. I do have a neighbour coming over to feed them later on and in the morning, but it's a long time between feeds, and I've noticed they start to annoy each other when they're hungry.

On a whim I took John's practically new SUV in to the dealership and asked what they'd give me. I was surprised at how much they offered. It was such a good deal I sold it on the spot. Now I have a large space to use for a staging area when I start to clear out all of the old stuff we've carted around for decades -- like the 45-year old canvas tent we used 40 years ago when camping was all we could afford. I'll clean it up, power wash it, and maybe turn it into a gym. It's sad to see the SUV go -- it was his pride and joy and he bought it in defiance of the cancer. It's far too big for me, though, and I already have a very nice car.

All sounds good, hagatha !!

Good Morning Everyone. Coffee and tea are ready. We are having a beautiful Fall day today...sunny and cool...great for a nice long walk. Not much planned for today...grocery shopping this morning and getting paperwork organized for taxes.

Hope you all have a great Thursday!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, Birthday cupcakes in the Break Room.

Almost to the weekend Boomers.

Thanks, Connie!

We're having a very windy, cold evening and I'm actually breaking out the winter clothes.

I just came back from an overnight trip to Comox for a photography club meeting. John bought me a camera a few years back, and we took photos from the boat, but as he got sicker we no longer did that -- he could no longer lift his camera and the large lenses. Since I have all this gear, I thought I'd check it out. It was kind of a treat -- a night away from home, a great meal in my favourite restaurant, and meeting new people. I'll see how that goes, but it does mean driving home in the dark on the highway, which is not lit.

Driving on an unlit highway is normal around here. Just did it as a matter of fact on the way home from bowling! Especially out here it in the country it is very dark. Luckily, I am still able to drive in the dark.

My eyesight is okay. I do need to get a new prescription for my glasses, though.

The biggest worry around here, as in any rural setting, is hitting a deer or a bear on the road. I used to drive at night all the time when I was working but this is a new thing for me and I'll have to be careful. I could afford a night in a hotel once a month but the nicest place, the one I had my eye on, is booked right up to Christmas. The one I stayed on last night was okay but expensive and I wouldn't go back there.

Oh, especially this time of the year, I have to keep my eyes checking both sides of the road as the deer are really moving right now.

Yes. one has to keep on eye on the road and unfortunately it is not only at night and on the country roads, just 5 days ago and at 6:30 PM (still light outside) he hit a bear on the highway while driving back home from work. His car is totaled, all but one of his Airbags deployed, luckily for him he only had a few bruises from the airbags. To this day he still has ringing in his ears from the Loud Noises from the airbags, as for the bear, unknown if he is still alive or not, it was seen hobbling into the woods.

Good morning Boomers and Happy Friday!

Coffee and tea are ready.

My dear daughter Carrie is having a colonoscopy today...please keep her in your prayers. She has been having issues with her digestive tract...she has Celiac Disease and even gluten free foods have started to bother her. She has lost weight...down to 97 lbs.

Hope you all enjoy your Friday and weekend.

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Prayers for your daughter Gerry. Pedicure and lunch out with a friend today.

Thanks for breakfast ladies!

I hope all here at GB have an enjoyable weekend!

Gerry, I hope the news is good. Waiting for results is horribly stressful.

Prayers for Carrie heading up.

Welcome to the weekend Boomers.

Good Morning Friends, Daughter Carrie's colonoscopy went well...thank you all for the prayers. Waiting now for the biopsy results. Only in the 40s here this morning...another chilly walk!

Coffee and tea are ready...have a great weekend everyone!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Gerry, prayers your daughter's biopsy results are good. I'm jealous of your weather, still a Sauna here in the mornings. Shopping today, working the kitchen at the Eagles tonight with Trivia to follow.

Looking foward to an entire day of reading and football.

Gerry, hope they can find some answers for your daughter. A beautiful warm fall day here. Haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet though! Coffee and my daily Wordle first!
