Yesterday

Our hearts go out to Donna today. Handsome, brave Flame is flying free.

Rusty had another good night. He ate quite a bit of his food and didn't sneeze until his usual "wake-up" sneeze. His breathing was good. I'm really glad we didn't start on 14 days of A/Bs. This morning he ate all of his breakfast, enjoyed a combing/brushing, and spent most of the morning in his perch over the radiator. It is really cold here: 5 degrees this morning and tomorrow morning is supposed to be below zero F. I had to check the car's oil and tire pressure today in preparation for our trip to the city on Sunday and really froze my hands.

Tonight our group is having a pizza and games night. The host is a terrific pizza chef. There will be lots of games brought along to play, but some will just enjoy sitting and talking. I'm bringing Mexican Train Dominoes. A favorite that Edward and I will both enjoy playing is a Canadian game called Krokinole (sp?). It's kind of like curling, but on a game board. The hosts have a hand-made game board. There will also be Bananagrams, Pears Pairs, Takaradi, maybe even Monopoly. Looking forward to this fun evening. I'll be a little late for the happy hour because of Rusty's evening shot; he will get it 1/2 hour early, since our friends live about 1/2 hour away. Edward will get a ride with friends and won't miss any of the festivities.

Wishing everyone a fine weekend. Sending vines to all in need,

Funny I was thinking of buying a Crokinole Board (I had to look up the spelling) just the other day; thought it was a game all of my grandchildren could play. I used to play crokinole as a child.

Happy that Rusty had another good night and ate lots of fuds!

Hope you have a good time tonight.

And a fine weekend for you and your tribe, too, Ella.

Yes, Donna and Flame have been in my heart and prayers, too. I find thought and feeling to words more difficult with each transition to the next life.

I'm glad Rusty is feeling better and that you feel good about him feeling well enough for your trip this weekend.

A collective Board game and pizza night sounds like fun. I miss board games and jig saw puzzles too.

Weather here getting winter raw again. Although in the 30's right now the forecast is 0 degrees F overnight. Earlier in the week daffodils and crocuses began to emerge. Today hard winter returns.

Have a great weekend and heaps of continue-to-feel-better vines and scritches for Rusty!

Great Rusty report.

I used to play crokinole as a child.

Me too, loved it. My favourite game when my grandparents came over. Enjoy the pizza!

You can keep the cold, we might be racing in snow on Sunday.

We had a fine time at the party. My "speciality" is Takaradi. Rusty didn't want us to go and sat by the door and looked sad. He's happier now and we are getting ready to turn in.

I didn't get to play Crokinole tonight because I was too late getting there and an intense game was in progress. Takaradi was lots of fun, however, and I also watched a cribbage game (not a good game for a math cripple like I am!). Edward ate 6 slices of pizza!

'night, all.
