Way to go Wayne! Its amazing what our bodies can and can't do. It does feel great when you accomplish something you thought you couldn't do or thought would take a while to get there. Then there's those people like me who go to their primary care doc for steroid shots in the knees and when he palpates and maneuvers my knees he goes....."yah, thats a whole lot of crunching going on." 🫢😳🤣 Keep up the good work!

It was certainly different back when we were young! Neither of my parents hit alcoholic raisins first thing in the morning, but on Sunday afternoons during Nascar season, my dad would settle on his recliner and I'd get the command "make me a drink." I made a mean whisky sour by the age of 6 LOL. Mom got one too. Later on they graduated to a Black Russian for Dad and a White Russian for mom. I should've been a bar tender. My first job in high school was with Carvel and we would make rum raisin ice cream. It was rum flavored ice cream (fake of course) with raisins that had been soaked in simple syrup. That was some good stuff.

Raisins can be soaked in a variety of liquids. Warm water, fruit juice, one of my friends soaked them in coffee(which I thought was weird, but to each their own), most types of alcohol, although rum is used most often. You only need to soak them for 15-30 minutes for most recipes but if you use alcohol it should be overnight. Rum raisins are great for fruitcakes.

I think someone had a great idea. Ive added apples to my shopping list. I will be baking either today or tomorrow. There's just too much stuff to do around this house. That's what happens when nobody else wants to step up and help out their 91 year old mother. Some of these issues have been issues for years. Enjoy your apple brownies tim! Have a good day everyone!

I've cut my own hair for years and I buzzed hubby and the boys for many years. I still do the husbands but the kids are on their own. (Unless the younger one decides he doesn't want long hair anymore lol). Mine is pretty long right now. I need to trim the back but it's at an awkward length for me to do it myself. So it'll keep growing until I decide to chop it all off. Which I've done before. Our humidity ticked up today. I was inside all day "working". (Yeah, got some writing done and managed 9400 steps pacing while listening to an audiobook). Its pizza for us for dinner as I did not take anything out of the freezer. Enjoy the rest of your weekend y'all!

Hopefully not too much longer. 🤞

The Krew should sharpen its reflex time. You never know...it might be needed soon.

Ok Wayne, let's talk. Beside him, Taggert didn’t drink right away. He held the glass loosely, watching the room, not tense, exactly, but not relaxed either. His gaze flicked from the door to the bar, to the people at the tables. Always moving. Always aware. Whatever Taggart has been through has honed his situational awareness to a razor sharp point. The man always knows what's going on around him. Is it a good thing? Probably. Could it be a bad thing? Potentially. We shall see. Then there's this: Close enough to catch the way his eyes flicked, not to the table, not to the room-- To Ash's lips. Then up to his eyes. And they stayed there for a beat. Looks like Ash's situational awareness skillz are pretty sharp too. Then we end this way: He didn’t dare move. Not with Taggert leaning into him like that. Not with whatever the hell this was sitting heavy in his chest and in the pit of his stomach. And lower. That part didn’t make any sense at all. And it wasn't going anywhere Somebody's inner gay boy is waking up. Question is...how long will it take him to figure it out? Well played Wayne.

But little yappy short legged canines are soooo entertaining! And such an easy 🎯 🤣😂

I've been in such a slump for the past 2 years. I started 2 stories, stalled, then started a 3rd. I think the 3rd time is a charm though because I just finished up chapter 17 and have a pretty clear vision of how I want the rest of it to go. Its been a long road, but I think I'm close to the end. Good luck with your prologue! Have a good day everyone!

Still in Florida huh? That totally fits. The amount of residential building they've been doing the past few years is insane. Part of the reason I left.

Pretty sure I've been cast as one of the crazy sidekicks. 🤣🤪

I'm kinda following the same line of thinking as that pesky @weinerdog, maybe something along the lines of Yellowstone. Taggart definitely has PTSD, but what caused it is still a mystery. Its obvious that root cause is his "disagreement with the management" at his last job. Nice work Wayne.

We are home safe and sound. I already miss the kids. Oh, and this derpy dog. The poster pup for the saying "lights are on and nobody's home". His name is Toaster. It fits him.

Things you don't want to hear when you're at a boarding gate: Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a slight delay boarding flight 1234 while we wait for incoming passengers to deplane. The captain has informed us that there is a ....... thing.......with the plane and will advise us as to when we can begin boarding. Thankfully not my flight. But really, a thing? Thats a new one for me. 😳 One leg down, one to go. Have a good day everyone!

Yeah, I know I'm late to the game. I'm actually in Kansas for one more night visiting my boy and his wife. These vacations go by too fast! Anyways.... Taggert froze, eyes down on the ground, his jaw clenched. Taggert shifted his weight. His fingers flexed once, then stilled. I think Taggart is a wee bit more than skittish. He's got secrets and/or baggage. a squirt of sour cream - as opposed to a splork or a even a dollop? Nice choice of words Wayne. **Makes grabby hands** More! More! More! Can't wait for the next installment.

Abso-freaking-lutely NOT! Welcome home, my friend 😘

Its a good sign that tim wants his knitting. I'm happy he's going home. We are very much enjoying our vacation but it's going by too fast. Give tim a hug from me.

I'm glad things seem to be okay. Hugs to tim and you, and I hope he's home soon. xo

We're off to Kansas tonight to see my elder spawn for his birthday. I'm not a fan of taking the last flight of the day but it made the most sense as they have a wedding this afternoon. We don't get in until just after midnight. His birthday is Tuesday and for his present I got us tickets to see the Royals get beaten by the dreaded Yankees. But I did spring for decent seats so we'll have fun. I'm so excited to see my son and daughter-in-law. Hopefully the flights are on time. 🤞 Have a good weekend everyone!

Fingers crossed for smooth sailing my friend. Xoxo

Are we really sure about that?

Oh, you are such a brave soul asking to bounce ideas off my brain!🤣 I love the premise of the story and can't wait to see how it pans out. What hath our crazy author have upeth his sleeve?🤔

So far Kitt holds the longevity trophy. I've been with my hubby for 40 years, married for almost 34. It's been a lot of ups and downs. Marriage isn't a smooth, straight road, that's for sure. It's easy to love someone and want to smack them upside the back of the head at the same time. I'm positive he thinks the same way about me lol.
