Nice to have family over for a visit; I still love entertaining. Hope you're getting a nice sleep-in this morning. Is Tootie still checking around for the cat? :)
@danger_dan , we had a huge old tree in our yard when we bought this home from our Daughter and worried about it toppling down on our or a neighbours' yard....2k to kave it removed. You saved a lot of money and got firewood! Thank goodness it was so far from structures and people.
Have a wonderful day, stay warm and safe.
Good morning everyone!

Hi folks! Do you ever wake up and feel upset from a dream ? But what you have dreamt isn't real? Is taking a while to enter the real world this morning.
I think this horrible loss out west is taking it's toll on my psyche. I sure gave my two nephew's big hugs last night!
Dan, that's quite a huge job dealing with that tree! Willows grow over water, do you have a stream back there in your bush? What a lovely setting you must have!
Lynn, oddly, perhaps, I don't mind rats and mice. That one's a cutie.
Cabbie, you are in a huge demographic, obviously who watch wrestling - no judgment here.
Got to get moving! Really busy day here.
Have a great one, folks!
Oh yeah, we were very thankful it was away from everything, and the only damage done really, was a couple of small trenches (about 1 foot deep) where branches had dug in and snapped off the tree top. Yup, lots of fire wood. We actually just finished up our the last of our fire wood for this winter last night...and with the amount that came off just this bit, that'll keep us nice an warm all of next winter.Quote:

Hope you can get some quality sleep, Nat.
Yeppers, @avoncallingu...I awakened from a nasty dream not long ago that made me want to throttle my Hubby when I woke up! Lucky for him it was just a dream!! :tongue: I've had a few weird experiences falling asleep lately, where I know I'm not asleep because I try to get that image again, but I 'see' scenes of places and people from above...sometimes I can bring them back for a few moments, other times I can't. Remind me to tell you some time, don't want to bore folks on here! :)
Hope everyone's having a very good day...I'm going to start on a new summer t-shirt...hope springs eternal, maybe it'll actually warm up enough to wear it one day!!

That sure sounded like plenty of work for you after that tree fell. Glad it was not close enough to your home to cause damage.
A blah day here....a few errands, a doggie walk and some CNN.....thank goodness there is a ball game on tonight!
Yeah. The other night I dreamt that I was in a car accident. I was in the back seat and the driver lost control and drove into oncoming traffic. Avoided most cars but finally managed to head-on into a cube van. This was the night before the bus accident.

Tootie gets a clip tomorrow. I will be plugging away at paperwork if nothing else gets in the way.
Good night -sleep well.
