Coffee anyone ?

[Sourland]

@Mini Horses, it's the busy time of year, and I was away a bit early in the month. All is well with me and mine. Wishing the same for you and yours. 'Al', hugs and a lift up - hope you are not too heavy. Congratulations to your son and to you and Spouse for raising a group of great kids.

Brewed a fresh pot and dusted things off here. Anyone got any goodies ? I am carbohydrate deprived.

I have some leftover potatoes that can be made into home fries.

Sourland, Glad all is well -- just busy.

Home fries probably better for us than the donuts I'm thinking . Coffee guzzling here. Haven't been out to open coops and milk yet. Need to get moving!! I turned off alarm and slept in until 6:30. Was nice. Then I lazed around for a while Sometimes you just "need" a slack day. Signing off to get these animals back to happy.

We have rain rolling in tonight, through Monday or Tuesday. Looks like my day off, Sunday, will be wet. Always subject to change!

I sure would take your rain if you don’t want it! We have a week of 100+ degree weather. I slept in too, too hot to do anything outside so no reason to be up and at ‘em.

Thanks all..... and yeah, I am proud of my kid... but that was very hard too. My dad was a Reader in the church, my eldest always super looked up to my dad, and a big reason why my eldest wants to be a priest was because of my dad. My kid and I had both very much wanted my dad to be there when my kid was tonsured.


So to have my kid tonsured the week AFTER my dad died.... Was a kick in the gut.

It's so bittersweet! But your dad would have been very proud of his grandson!
Congratulations to your son! Forgot to mention it previously.

Depending on your beliefs, you can consider that while your Dad wouldn't have been able to make it were he still hanging on, he would be able to make it because he had passed. You just wouldn't see him there.

Also one heck of a tribute to the influence of your Dad.

But I haven't yet figured out how to talk to the dead.

I just miss being able to chat with him. I had very much looked forward to sharing the joy of my eldest's accomplishment. Not the same when he can't talk back.
