I'm kinda considering live plants also but don't know if that would be too much knowledge for me to handle at first.

We started with live plants years ago, but gave up on them. They never seemed to do as well as the fish. [emoji849]

Every time we brought in new plants they seemed to bring in snails too. Once we got clown loaches, they sorted the snail invasion out. Clown loaches love to eat snails!

That's a shame on both counts. I used to enjoy reading her posts about Bob, and I expect she misses TFO too.
She won't remember me at all, but when you speak to her next please tell her someone was asking after her and that she is missed and thought about.

I miss Maggie being about. She sent me a really lovely email after Joe died. I still like to think that Joe and Bob are off creating havoc together wherever they ended up on the other side of the rainbow bridge :)

Send her my love too :)

Good to hear you have managed to get some decent sleep Ray. Your grandchildren will soon have you feeling young at heart and no doubt will also be wearing you out, so I predict more sleep for you in the near future!! If we don't see you before they arrive have a great time with them!!!
Thanks Lyn, I have a lousy memory. Were you the one with the ankle operation?

Well, it’s time for me to wish you all goodnight. Our children are back at their respective homes having cooked us an excellent lunch of lemon roasted chicken with Mediterranean vegetables.

JoesDad seems to be going down with plane flu [emoji849] He wasn’t well before he went to India and it did concert me that he might be at risk of getting something else. Hopefully he’ll sleep it off tonight

Sleep tight! Don’t let the bed bugs bite! :)

Goodnight Linda, glad you had a good family day and hope JoesDad is feeling better soon.

Well, I finally started my shed for the sulcatas. It is one of those plastic ones you put together. Myplanisto install 2x4s so I can put insulation in between them , then cover with plywood. This will be done for all the walls and ceilings. The floor will be covered with sheet insulation and then plywood. Still have to figure out the doors. It will all be sealed with silicone so there are no leaks. I think this can work. I will be using heavy duty insulation to keep the maximum heat in for the winter. We will see how it works.

Hello all, I slept from 2AM till 1 this afternoon. Never woke up! That is the first time since I came out of my coma in February 2016. Usually it is 3 hrs of sleep at best. Now I just need to get the hrs correct. Thanks to the wife for taking care of Opo.
Starting to feel better physically and mentally. Have 2 grandsons coming Tuesday. Ages 4 and 6 cant wait..
Haven't been keeping up on CDR so I hope everyone has healed from their situations and there have been no other issues.
Hello Ray opo and wifey...wait till you read you read the latest...

Whew! At this rate it will be Autumn by the time I get my yard spring clean up done. I've finished the leopard yard and the desert tortoise yard but still have 5 more yards to go. And the leopard yard needs mowing again! It's heck to get old. I run out of steam way too soon.
Me too. I have to pay my grandchildren or kids to help me now and then.
