All dressed up and ready to ride herd.

Nice alliteration.

Oh the humanity ... there's glitter everywhere. Damn that stuff's itchy.

I'm pretty sure Drew doesn't need toys to have fun during bath time ... or Cherry Blast bodywash. I gotta say I like his scruff. Our little Drew has grown into quite the hottie. Oh, and he hasn't bitten anyone in months ... well, that we've heard.

Greetings Albert. Hope you and Steve are well.

Doesn't matter what the ladies think. He's a plaid lad that makes him ... Mine.

Are you suggesting Texy is an undersized turkey?

Oh, how nice another plaid lad. Thanks bro, your the best.

Are Texan turkeys bigger than other turkeys?

Is your nephew an "angel" too?

I think the concern was it might cause you to spend an inordinate amount of time watching drilling documentaries.

Page! Hi ...

Uhm, well truth be told I'm betting on ... Thistle ... 'cause the ladies'll be too busy with each other to notice him leading the lads to me. By the time they cotton to what's happenin' I'll have the fellas wrapped in plaid and then they're ... MINE!

Stay safe.

Uhm maybe just spit ... I know, I know, that's not what he meant but I was trying to make him smile. Laughter can be the best medicine, well that's what Reader's Digest said. On a more serious note. Have your ear infections cleared? Is it possible you've a throat infection resulting from that? Reason I ask is a few years ago I developed an upper respiratory infection in Sept. Took a course of antibiotic that cleared the chest infection but it was back again in Nov. and again in Jan. I eventually went to a ENT doc who sent me for CAT scan. Turns out I'd developed a sinus infection at some point before or during the first bout in Sept. that never cleared and the drainage caused the recurring upper respiratory issues. The stuff that drained out my nose from my sinuses during the scan was a neon orange. Never saw anything like it but the doc knew immediately from the color what caused the infection. I ended up having to be on a strong antibiotic for just over a month before it finally cleared.

Howdy Texy.

What makes you think she didn't?

Not here. We reached a high of 70/ with lots of sunshine. I removed an old rose bush that was well passed its prime then put up all the outside Christmas lights. We aren't going to light them yet other than briefly this evening to be sure things work as planned. The forecast here is for mostly showery weather for the foreseeable future so I took advantage of today's pleasant weather. I will wait to hang the wreathes until the day after Thanksgiving but this way I avoid needing to be out in less pleasant weather.

Why thank you. Just keep in mind I'm verrry good when I'm bein' naughty.

I was gonna suggest somethin' about your ego and that box Val pointed out but it didn't really didn't fit so ...

Yes, but next year is a whole different equation.

Careful Val at your age you could throw your back out

A belated but heartfelt Howdy Texy.

Not sure but I think I'm gonna make a mushroom ragu tossed with pan-roasted Brussel sprouts served over brown rice. Normally I put it over pasta but we had leftover seafood pasta bake last night so it's rice tonight.

Add a hot toddy to that. The alcohol is antiseptic and the honey will help sooth your throat.
