We've had a bit of rain.
Hopefully, the next one will be here tomorrow.

That must be a German saying, but I agree
An English equivalent is that it’s like herding cats which is an equally impossible task![]()
Hello ?? Where have you all gone ? It is so dark in here, I can`t see anybody !
Afternoon everyone [emoji112]
I just got back from running errands including going to the post office to drop off my TORTIOSE and my cards for the Christmas exchange YAY!
It's who we are.
I just ordered an Ancestry DNA kit to see where I'm from once and for all. It might get interesting.
Both my German and Italian grandparents arrived after the war.
My Italian grandfather was from Napoli and not a soldier.
Most of what is known about my German soldier grandfather is legend only.
But he came here for a better life.
That speaks for itself.
I don't know what capacity or rank he had in the war. But some Nazi medals remain in the family from what I understand.
Here in America, we all came from somewhere else.....
I needed to ship my TORTIOSE because of it’s journey [emoji6][emoji6]
Where is Adam ?
The dark Lord of the CDR.
The armadillo and hedgehoks friend.
The "polisher" of the yellyfish.
The feeder of the snowleopard and maybe the whoolspider too ?
The chaser of the meerkats.
The counter of the corners.
The wibbler and wobbler.
Tidgys Dad, wifeys husband and the collector of old petrified plants and animals.
My bat companion at night flies.
@Tidgy's Dad : Where are you tonight? I miss you !![]()
Just a quick good morning from the Chesapeake Bay state of Maryland. We are enjoying abnormally warm, sunny days here for late November. Our Pin Oak tree is still full of wonderful, golden leaves, especially as the morning's sun hits the tops!

I needed an excuse for having my oven on in the kitchen this a.m, (I was cold and wanted to use the oven to give me some heat) so I took some leftover apples and made an apple pie. I've never made apple pie before - not a big fan of fruit pie. But the apples were mealy and not satisfactory for eating as is. So in about an hour I'm going to have to set my one-trip-into-town rule aside so I can go get some vanilla ice cream at the store. I bought apples, cabbage, red potatoes, red onions and german sausage to try a recipe that I saw in a sidebar on Facebook. I really love cooked cabbage, so I thought what the heck. Well, folks, if that recipe turns up on your FB sidebar, don't bother. It was pretty yuck!!!! It did smell pretty good, though.
The sun is brightly shining, but it's darned cold out there! I don't have much firewood this year, so I'm being frugal with the firewood. Haven't made a fire in the wood stove yet this year. I've a sneaking suspicion that that's going to change soon, though. Br-r-r-r.
I was very fond of my chemistry set and Bunsen burner.![]()
MorningLet me guess. You got... Adam?
I need to ship mine, because of it’s journey too!![]()
Good morning, Lena!Right...
Another pertinent question: Were all those three fires by accident?
And another one: You won’t try any of that in the CDR, right?![]()
Shhhhhh!!!!!!!Morning
Nope!
I did not get Adam but it is still quite a journey
