Are you all okay?

My family are all okay. We got plenty of rain from the outer bands yesterday, but nothing like they did at the western tip of Florida and that tip of Alabama that touches the Gulf of Mexico.

That storm sat a little ways offshore, just churning for days, moving at 2 miles per hour, dumping tons of rain in that area.

My power is out this morning, with an estimated restoration time of noon. Notification from the utility said the cause was downed trees. Not surprising, with all the rain we've had the last few days. It's easy for trees to get knocked over when the ground is so saturated.

Sorry to see that you had no power. My heart goes out to all my southern friends and more coming from what I hear. Then the west and all the fires. And just day to day living and all that brings too. It's been a crazy year. Stuff has to move upward soon cause 2020 so far is the bottom of the pits. I'm looking forward to the holidays and making them really special this year. It doesn't have to be a lot of money spent just a lot of cheer.??????etc

Ok. I am trusting you, so here goes I call your Dark Lord's given mission to post Food emoji's. ( damn i just realised that I don't know if it should be food emoji's or just food. Sigh)

 

[CarolM]

what was her mission?? To post ducks?

To make references to drinks.??

 

[CarolM]

We're safe here. There's water standing in the front yard. Usually it drains away (sandy soil) as soon as the rain lets up. It may take a little longer since it's been raining for so long.

Wish we could pack it up and send it out west to drop on those fires.

Oh dear.

I've been putting off running errands for the last few days due to the rain, but I can't drag my feet any longer... or one of my Cat-mittee will nip at my ankles if I don't get them more food.

Well it’s been a pretty good evening. We had a rocky morning with daughter but then got her back on track. She was resting comfortably by the afternoon so I got to go spend a couple hours with Jayden and Cinder.. they were both so happy! Jess slept most of the time I was gone... I brought in some Raisin Canes chicken when I got back.. when I woke her up to eat, she was like a baby bird... she ate good, we did some bed exercises, and had good conversation.. it was the best evening so far.. She’s sleeping now and I’m Feeling satisfied... so goodnight all...

Oh that is absolutely great news.

 

[CarolM]

Just popping in to say 'Nos da.'
Nos da!

Nos da. But isn't it a bit early?

 

[CarolM]

Poor Yvonne, always trying so hard, maybe just a little bit too hard

If you don't try you won't get it. They say you have to be in it to win it.

 

[CarolM]

We are all trying to avoid the hedgehogs in case someone is using them as sharp objects or playing tennis. I can't find the milk for my tea can someone kindly pass me the milk jug please

Sure, here it is.

Just as well, as i can't get to any interesting ones cos of lockdown.

How is that going? Is the medina all closed up? I can't imagine that. When I was there many years ago, I had never seen such a bustling, busy, crowded, noisy, scented place. I loved it!

A quick story...I was 18 when my parents took me on my 2nd vacation trip to Europe. I was very blessed to have travel-loving parents who would rent a car and we would follow our self-planned itinerary all over western Europe. No organized tours for us except in cities.

We knew we needed a guide to go into the medina, so we hired one off the street named Azzedin (sp?). He was very personable and pleasant and we enjoyed him as we saw the sights and smelled the smells.

When it ended, Dad paid him, and Azzedin took me aside and asked me to go on a date with him! His words were "I'll show you the night life of Fes".

Now, I may have been 18, gullible, and naive, but even I knew that saying yes might not work out the best for me. So I blamed my parents. I told him they would never allow me to go in a strange city, and my French wasn't that good.

He said he understood, took my hand, and walked me over to Mom and Dad, and explained the situation to them...and asked them out too!! I was stunned! And to my never forgotten astonishment, they accepted!!

That evening he came to our hotel and gathered us up, and we walked to a Moroccan establishment that was a restaurant/bar that was filled to overflowing with mostly young people.

We had good food, enough drinks that it was good we were on foot, we danced in a hilarious conga line type dance, mixed with happy friendly Moroccans, and had the time of our lives.

As I remember (it's a little fuzzy for some reason), Azzedin even paid for everything!

He walked us back to our hotel, kissed me, hugged my parents, and was gone. We never saw him again.

For many years after, we would periodically remember Azzedin, and with smiles and chuckles, wonder about him. I like to picture him on the terrace with grandkids around him, watching the donkeys go by in the street below.

Good morning!!!! I want to tell you all that my daughters arm seems to be stable We believe that is one hurdle that we are past right now. The blood flow is strong and continuous... the risk factors for losing it in the immediate future seem to be dissipating now. We are proud of our baby steps. She has a lot of pain as nerves try to wake up and it sucks for her... but the good news is she has pain as nerves wake up.. ? Our goal for the day is to have the trauma drain removed. We still have not been able to get her out of bed or moving due to the condition of her shoulder but she is doing lower body therapy on her own in the bed. She is motivated... GOD IS GOOD!

Absolutely brilliant.

 

[Cathie G]

You are going to have to work harder than that. ?

I'm trying but I think I don't know Tidgy's Dad well enough yet to figure out how that pee picken brain works. He did cause all this you know.? slowly swims away...

Lovely... and amen to that.

Oh I am so sorry. Hopefully they can get it back up and running quickly

 

[KarenSoCal]

I know, I came in this morning then got totally lost and have only found my way back now. True Story. I promise!

@Amron came in last night and couldn't find the milk for her tea. So the mess was made before she got here.

I must confess...I didn't make my presence known to her. I was just having a quiet few minutes with Chilly and Willy. We'd never met before, and had a nice chat.

Oh...they did ask if we could make the CDR more "C". They said the soles of their feet are rough and dry.

I couldn't find the thermostat...

 

[Cathie G]

To make references to drinks.??

Yea and it was crazy. I have one drink that I drink that has alcohol and it's beer called Miller Highlife. I had to look up the others online and ask my other brother. I threw the duck in because it's such a cute imoge. I should have known it would be my downfall.?

 

[CarolM]

Good Mornynooning, Roommates.
The day seems to be off on a positive note, so let's see what else is in store for us.
Today is International Country Music Day.
Hmmmm.
Not really my cup of coffee, but there you go.

I like country music.

 

[CarolM]

Hello Adam! Coffee would be lovely thank you, black though as I'm vegan! The cheese posts here always make me jealous ?

Oh boy. Here we go again. ?
