I have lived through three days of the most horrible kind of hell, and for the first time in about 51 years, I don't have a horse. My mare passed an hour and a half ago, and I was with her. She died i

Went to see the surgeon today... he says he is willing to try reattachment if I get through a complete MRI... he needs that first. He also informed me I had two tendons detached, not one, which really

Good evening, all :hug:

Spent most of the afternoon strimming, and tidying the paved and concreted area at the back of the new, old house.

Finally found the cover of the main drain in that area. Need to prise it off tomorrow, and clean the slots in it. That should hopefully dry up the rear of the house... :unsure2: 

(Sometimes I almost envy those of you that live in dryer climes... ;))

Heading off to the hardware store now before it closes to purchase a good stiff yard brush. :yes:

Here's hoping you find a good stiff one. :)

I am amazed at what children are wearing while they stand waiting for the school bus. Tee shorts and basketball shorts in subfreezing weather. These are privileged children who've only known reliable central heating.

I know ours are dressed for school in PJs and nightgowns 😀. 

 

Spoiler

Of course, unless we are going to homeschool group meetings. Museums, science labs work at universities or day of fun!!

In high school there was a guy who had his locker above mine (I might have had a slight crush on him) and he spent all year round in short sleeves t-shirt! All year! Even when there was snow. He didn't seem cold at all

Since Dennis and I grew up less than a block from school, we didn't bother with coats, even when it was raining. The elementary school (grade k to 8th) and high school was next to each other...The only time we were on the bus was on School field trips or school sporting events.

It's not allowed to walk around without a shirt on. Male or female. Not even bikini top in beach front stores in summer.

Good! I hate seeing girls in bikini swimwear walking around at the Cherry Festival in July. Once you leave the beach, it's just not appropriate attire. I've even seen families with little kids at the library, stopping to use the restrooms before going to the beach. Which is a whole SIX BLOCKS AWAY!   :thumbdown:

Some of them shouldn't be in bikinis!! Some look like they are smuggling 25 pounds of potatoes...Of course, that's why we like our pool..I and Ash can be in bikinis and Dennis in a Speedo...without offending others!!

Sounds good. Dinner was balsamic pork chops with bacon, Brie, and pear risotto. Lemon-butter Brussels sprouts on the side. Now there's Guinness brownies with Bailey's Irish Cream frosting for dessert.   :D

Getting drunk with desserts!! 😀

And the boys can go sans swimsuits?   😀  Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash!   :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  *waves to the foster kids*

Nope, the alcohol is denatured as it cooks. 3/4 of a cup of Guinness isn't enough to get drunk on, anyway. Nor is 2 tablespoons of Irish Cream in the frosting.   :rolleyes:

The Charmin Bears will be replaced with the Leopard???  

I believe that's an Ocelot, not a leopard.   :)

True, and they do!! Especially our youngest (or as he says, the oldest) foster son. He loves to be nude!! So does Kipp and Jordan but babies are known to enjoy being nude!! 😀

 

I knew that. I was trying to be funny about the alcohol getting denatured.

 

Okay, the ocelot will be replacing the Charmin bear family!!!

Actually, what I think really happens is that the alcohol actually evaporates away during the cooking, due to it having a lower boiling point than water.

(But I could be wrong)...
