It tastes AMAZING. It’s extremely rich and will takes us a few days to eat... I dread to think how many calories are in it, but the electronic ones don’t count so you will be fine helping yourself in the CDR :)
A very Happy Birthday JoesBrother. And thank you I don't mind if I do. Although that looks scrumptious I want a real piece... or two.

By the looks of what’s already missing, that cake won’t be lasting “..a few days”. I’m guessing, gone by tomorrow (lunch).

Sooooo glad to see that there has been some activity on here while I was taking a nap.

It is very depressing when I come on here and there is nobody around or has not been around, I start panicking and worry if the one-legged pirate has finally gone back to his old ways and made you all walk the plank.

On my side the Jelly fish are glowing nice and brightly and it is sunny outside, but that can change in the blink of an eye or jellyfish.

We will take what we can get. The nice thing about mornings are that nice and fresh smell you get and sometimes I even get the smell of the ocean. I should have been getting up early long before this to smell the roses and the air. It is surprisingly pleasant. ??

Enjoy the funny pic ;)

Cathie are you saying my doctor is wrong? My hopes have been dashed away.?
You could have let me down a little more gently. ????
Well ...you did get a bionic leg out of his misinformation sooo... so just keep hoping you learn how to keep stuff out of it's way. On second thought, maybe a second opinion would give you a spare part just in case you need repairs to the first.??

Big rainstorm arriving tomorrow. Calling for up to 2 inches of rain & localized flooding. Soooooo, we’ve been trimming grass, edging, picking dandelions for Ms Sully.

Wifey was out taking pix of our flowers for our “catalog” of things that bloom around the property.

One of our Bearded Irises

These are the original ones that I started with. The ones that I want to do using the method that Mark mentioned I have to wait to get some stuff. I don't have all of the necessary goods to use and most of our shops are closed.?
Ours are too. And what is open may have a line. I had to stand in line downwind of people today to get more mask making fabrics. We all were 6ft. apart but...then when I finally got to shop I felt bad for the people still waiting in line. I just really wasn't comfortable about any of it. However, there was a young lady there with a really cute pair of flipflops and of course we discussed "where in the world she bought them!" So it wasn't all bad. A lot of the young ladies in my family will wear flipflops in the dead of winter in Ohio. I now know where to tell them to go for high quality ones.

I have accumulated 3 arms and 3 legs. Now I have a arm dedicated to fishing only. So now I can grab a catfish or a fish with teeth and it won't hurt me. ?

Well...is that considered tickleing fish??but if a fish has teeth I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft. pole anyway. Although I actually caught a northern pike once on a cane pole in a pond in Michigan. I sat on a tree that had fallen into the water and hung out my hook. I was tired and cold but still wound up hooking the best fish.My friends were trying to tell me my line was caught in a stump until the fish jumped out of the water. Then they tried to help me cause I had no clue on how to get that fish in on a cane pole. All I can say is the good Lord wanted that fish outta that pond. S/he had some chompers. Even a tongue! They got it though. I'm sure they enjoyed dinner.

It could be his great great great grand fish. It was back in the late 70's. I've never forgotten it. I was just trying to get warm and wound up hooking a fish that could eat me. I let my friends eat the dang fish.
