First Cup Diner!

[bestgear]

I was watching Jane. Still am.

almost 6 decades of true love, you’ve set quite the example and the bar pretty high Dave but it’s a beautiful thing it’s easy to see why you want Jane home today.

[bighomer]

Morning folks, 67 the low heading to near 90. Had a pop-up deliver about a inch of rain yestiddy.
Wampus was here on his throne this morning, sassy as ever.
The pt gals liked to have killed this old fart yestiddy, gonna have another go this afternoon. If ain't here tomorrow morning it's because I'm to sore or dead.
Read the calender wrong yestiddy my urologist appointment is next week.
Sure hope it nothing serious with Miss Joy and that Miss Jane's is not to sore to enjoy her cake.
The boss turns 77 in a little over a month as Dave said don't go spreading that around.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there.

Not much on the schedule today except Bible study this evening. Have a blessed day
and be safe....

Good Mornin', Folks! Time to roll out of the rack and start the day.
Weather today is beginning with clear skies and 72°. Yesterday we got another 1/4 inch in the gauge about the middle of the afternoon.
Workday today, taco salad is on the dinner menu.
Got most of the yard mowed yesterday, still have the south side to do.
Y'all enjoy the day!

Morning folks, 65 at 6a.m. nice, supposed to get to the upper 80's, the lower humidity makes it bearable.
Wampus was on the the tractor seat high and dry and ready for food.
Meeting my niece and son for dinner at a Japanese restaurant, it's one of them knife flipping spatula slinging egg rolling places.
Then home for a meeting with the ZT and a little grass slinging my on self.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there.

Good morning. Well, Jane didn't come home yesterday and now it's maybe today. She is doing well but the two drainage tubes are still in.She just called and said they will be taking one out this morning and plan on taking the other one out mid afternoon. That one was still not done doing it's job yesterday. If it comes out and doesn't appear to be leaking, she'll be released late this afternoon. If they don't like the way it looks, they might wait until tomorrow. I'm glad they are being careful, but tomorrow doesn't seem to ever quite get here. In an unrelated subject, some wild weather looks to be coming in late this afternoon and lasting through tomorrow. The 4th of July activities around here will likely all be canceled with heat and nasty storms. I plan on waiting until a little later this morning and go up and spend the day until we find out what's actually going to happen. Phil, I'm praying Miss Joy's referral to another caregiver is just being cautious and not something of major concern. Life at our age sure has it's moments that sneak up on us. Remember to keep praying for Tom and his wife for her cancer treatment. Take care my friends and have a good and safe 4th.____Dave

[MissouriGuerrilla]

Morning, folks!
80* right now here in the Missouri Ozarks with a later high of 88* and plenty of sun. Errands today. Walmart pick-up grocery run, take our little dog Sweet Pea to the vet for some cancer treatment and maybe get the yard mowed. The mowing is iffy and might have to wait until tomorrow. Tonight, gonna watch fireworks at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland after the races. Y'all have a great day! Remember to be careful out there and be alert and be safe!

[djknife13]

Good morning. Jane got released from the hospital yesterday a little after 6PM yesterday. Neither of could sleep beyond 5AM this morning so I'm sitting in my chair drinking coffee and Jane is sitting in her chair now snoring away without her C Pap. It's music to my ears. It's supposed to be rainy and stormy most of the day but we've got nowhere to go so all is well on the home front. Take care if you are traveling. The freeway was bumper to bumper with traffic going both going north and south coming home last night for thirty miles and then I took county roads the last 10 miles and scarcely met a car. Have a good 4th weekend.____Dave

Our weather yesterday was just wonderful. It was one of those cloudy, rainy days that we have needed for a good while. It is 75º right now and Bride and I will take off to enjoy the 4th with our daughter and her family. S-I-L is a chef and he'll have his big smoker fired up and going. No telling what he'll have in the smoker. I am hoping for some pork belly and brisket.
Mostly, today I am thankful for Jane's release from the hospital and begining her recovery at home. May her recovery continue with minimal discomfort.

Good Mornin', Folks.
Happy Independence Day to everyone!
Dave, great to read that "all is well on the home front"! We are staying home today also.
Workday was good, no rain yesterday and today's forecast doesn't have any rain forecasted. We got up to 92 yesterday, it's 75 as the sun is coming up. Need to finish the mowing the yard this morning and I need to mow a small food plot that's been neglected since hunting season ended.
Coffee is being served.
Y'all be safe today and consider what all is involved in being independent.

Good morning guys and gals. Happy Independence Day. Let’s not take it for granted it’s earned .
Dave and Jane, sure good to read you are both tucked away safely at home. Continued prayers for you all up there .
Ray, enjoy your cookout and gathering . Some of these guys can really turn out some nice food with a smoker !
We’ve decided to stay around the home front this weekend. Way too many folks out traveling and tearing up the lakes with jet skis and water sports. There’s a few local events will attend and need to get to the cemetery. Maybe get the grill fired up this evening.
Take care out there and enjoy your freedom!

[bighomer]

Morning folks, 67 the low supposed to top out around 90.plenty of sunshine.
Ole wampus was in attendance, had his hongery on.
Sure glad Jane is home and I'm praying for a speedy recovery, as Ray said with minimal discomfort. Silvia is still on the prayer list along with Babara, Marilyn, and several others in our community and family.
That old demon cancer will jump on a person and a lot of times you don't know it till it's to late.
I got the yard mowed yestiddy so should be in good shape for a week or so. Need to put down some roundup and weedeat some, may put that off till tomorrow.
Buddies day at Hooters need to call and see if my buddies are up for it or do they have other plans.
Enjoy your independence day and thank God for those that made it possible.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there

[Ripster]

Good morning knifers . Coffee is ready
Well the neighborhood was rather noisy last night. A lot of big stuff shooting up and making colorful displays. Was enjoyable. Now it’s like a ghost town . everyone is sleeping it off I guess.
Tom and Silvia and Dave and Jane . You all are in our prayers daily .
Heading over to have pancakes and some BS with a couple fellas . Then come home and get my lovely bride and head to the farmers market . And a graduation party this afternoon. That’ll fill up this day .
You all enjoy what you can out there .

[treefarmer]

Good Mornin', Folks.
Slept in this morning. We also heard lots of booms last night, because of the trees we couldn't see the displays other than an occasional flash. Folks must have had a truck load of fireworks, they started about noon yesterday. Finished the mowing with the zt and did some with the tractor in the woods. We enjoyed a laid back 4th.
Bright and sunny this morning, low 70s again. We did get a good shower yesterday, 0.6" during nap time.
Pray for the folks in Texas that are dealing with the flood. Wondering if any of our Texas knifers are involved?

Thanks, Phil. I am in the Austin area and we are OK here. Kerrville is about 100 miles west of here. We are so sad about loss of life there.

Good morning. The storms the weather people have been warning us about all went north. The heat unfortunately hit us, but it's nice and cool in the house. The chickens hated it. I don't think the electrical I have run to the barn would handle a small AC unit. I just made sure they had plenty of water, but even in the shade with water, they look at me with sad eyes panting with the heat. The dogs wouldn't even go out without being pushed out to pee, and then run right back in. Jason and Melody had steaks planned for the 4th meal and Jane had to settle for yogurt. She didn't want steak put through the blender so I suggested me thawing out hamburger for meatballs and she said to thaw some out for today and she wants mashed potatoes and gravy with it, so that's the menu for today. Nothing else is planned. I made a rhubarb /strawberry pie yesterday and it turned out good but didn't get firm enough. Rhubarb pie is a little more tricky for me than my usual apple/rhubarb which I have down pat for our liking. I may make a blooming onion sometime today too. Have a good weekend and avoid travel if possible._____Dave

[bighomer]

Morning folks, 69 the low mid 90's later on maybe a chance of scattered pop-ups.
Wampus was here in all his magnificent glory.
Got all the watering done and I'm pooped, that old water hose get heavier and has more drag every day.
Sure glad our knife buddies wives are out surgery and are on the road to recovery.
I need to get the trash gathered up and carried to the dump.
The boss has kinda been under the weather for a few days, she slept in this morning, the fireworks ran a little late and kept us awake, so she needed the rest.
I best get some breakfast for us together.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there. HYDRATE!!!

Good Morning Everyone!
Phil I'm in North Texas but my daughter and her family are in Comfort, TX which is right on the Guadalupe River. So far their property has not flooded because they live several miles away from the river, but the bigger concern is my granddaughter. She was working on staff at one of the summer camps down there and all roads in and out have flooded. They are located in a high area and still have services like electricity and they were already stocked with food so they should be okay for a few days. We're praying the rain will stop long enough for the water level will drop and hopefully the roads can be used to get out. I think someone said that if they are still there by Monday or Tuesday they might have to be flown out by helicopter. Pray for their safety and that this nightmare will end very soon.

Apples have a healthy amount of natural pectin. On your next strawberry rhubarb you could add a cup of grated apple, might help to firm it up.

for Jane everyday, good to read your good reports.
