Sun, where?

And believe or not, it is actually 48F here, raining like crazy and yesterday was 15F, the coldest day of the year, and we wonder why is it that we are losing our mind! mystery!

Freezing rain, yes, that is the translation of gresil. Had forgotten the right words.

Let's enjoy that temp.while it lasts. Goodnight♥

[gail]

Where are

And where are you all? Bridging and tilling?

Hot dogs for supper here, once a week and I like this scrap!

[TryinginFL]

are not

 

We are not hiding!

 

Had massage this afternoon - don't know if FH is still tilling...

 

Bridge tomorrow morning and Friday afternoon

 

Enjoy your hotdogs!  I had a meatloaf sandwich

[fishinghat]

not now

 

Half finished today at 2 PM. Just ran out of energy. Back at it again tomorrow.

[TryinginFL]

now (and) always

 

 

It has been in the middle 80's today!  Wish it would stay there for now and always - beautiful!

 

 

Those sand hill cranes continue to gather every morning - 8 this morning!  The rest the other day must have been visiting!

Have been watching the ospreys as well...

[gail]

Always,forever

Got a zoo there Liz? Lucky one you are to see this.

Got one downstairs at the moment, two young tenants screaming their heads off playing I don't know what game. I wonder if they have the word Respect in their vocabulary!

Dulces suenos to you two♥

[fishinghat]

forever impatient
 
Gail,que sueñes con los angelitos.

[gail]

Impatient again

Los angelitos, I like that. Better than the Diabolos from last night. Got three hours sleep, my mental health is taking quite a beating here. The noise drives me nuts!

Not a place for you Angelboy!

[TryinginFL]

again wishing

 

I am again wishing that I could sleep as well..   I woke up almost every hour last nite - arrrgh

 

Had bridge lesson this morning - feeling like I'm not here

[fishinghat]

wishing well

 

Well I may not like all the work with digging and tilling (which I just finished) but when I go to bed I just crash. Better sleeping tonight for both of you.

[gail]

Well well

I know,again.

Oh Liz, every hour, that must be hard on you. Besides the down neighbors, I have had the same difficulty in the last days. Might have something to do with the moon or stars or something in the domain of astrology.

It is usually the least of my problems! The feeling of not here is also familiar with me.

Bought some ear plugs in case, but the way the janitor and I confronted them today, I would be surprised if any noise comes out of the that place tonite. The words that came out of my mouth astounded me...and them. Buenos noches amigos♥

[TryinginFL]

Well, again

 

 

I hope that you said all of the right stuff, Gail!  I understand well, as I had next door neighbors the last place that I lived - it was a townhouse and I shared a wall w/college brats!  Those guys drove me NUTS !!!

 

Bentley hasn't been doing well the last couple of days, between diarrhea and throwing up - yikes!

 

Good thing I am having the carpet cleaned next Friday, but I am worried about him...

 

Hope you sleep better tonite!

[gail]

Again Bently

Bently, the heart? The tail, Sherman? Got that straight? Oh and Max, the brandy!

Slept like a rock, was so tired and could not see straight. Those situations just exhaust me mentally and physically. It is enough to lose what is left of my sanity.

So Bently, the vet??? Carpets, we rarely see those here. Let me know how goes that fur ball.♥

[TryinginFL]

Bentley (is) better

 

Yes, you have it right Gail!  Sherman's tail has been fine for quite some time - continue to watch to make sure he is not chewing!

 

Bentley is better now, but he was really worrying me this morning - he was acting like he was on his last legs.  When I came home from bridge this afternoon, he seemed to be back to his old self - so happy!

 

Max will have his brandy in about an hour and he has loved the warm weather!

 

I, too, slept better last nite - amazing what sleep can do for you...

 

Out of curiosity, what do you have on your floors there?  My mother had put in the wall to wall carpeting here but it is old  

[gail]

Better days

Cool for Bently and of course yourself, less worrying.

Our floors, most, are, in french, plancher flottant. Translation???? Will come back on this.

About sleep, yes, what a difference!

Back in a few...

[gail]

OK, floating floors, is that familiar there?

In case I miss you tonite, dulces suenos con los angelitos!♥

[TryinginFL]

Floating?  Are they wood?  Perhaps parquet? or tile?

[gail]

Not real wood nor parquet. No tile either.

This is installed on any surface. I will find a better definition, see you!

[TryinginFL]

Did a search and what I saw didn't make sense to me, but apparently these floors are used in sports, such as basketball.  Had never heard that term before...

[fishinghat]

days end

 

What happened to the word game gals?

 

I have a floating tile floor in my dining room and bathrooms. They can be done with tile or  wood flooring. The good thing is it is easier to install (therefore cheaper), not grout or glue to mess with or clean and they are free to expand and contract at will. It is also easy to replace a piece. Simply pull out the old piece and lay in a new one. The bad thing is they will have microscopic cracks between each piece (because of the expansion and contraction) which can accumulate dirt and allow moisture below the surface.

[gail]

End soon

We got lost Fisherman. Floating hard wood is, I think, the name.
Sounds like your floors FH. No microscopic cracks whatever. Maple color.

Raining all day here, feeling sleepy a bit.

Out of curiosity Fisherman, you got the Texan accent? Cowboy boots and the hat?

[fishinghat]

soon enough

 

No Texan accent Gail. My dad worked for a large corporation setting up retail offices in different towns. He had 3 months to get in town, rent a building, buy inventory and train personnel. Then on to another town. Went to exactly 50 schools before I graduated. Lived in 36 states. No real accent ever developed. What an experience. Lived out of cardboard boxes until I was 17!!  Ahh, the good ole days.  NOT!!

[TryinginFL]

enough, yes

 

 

I would think that would have been enough, yes, FH!!  - Sure you never want to move again ...  can't imagine

 

OK, now I think I know what a floating floor is, but never heard of it before (I must have led a sheltered life)

 

Bible study and church this afternoon but left after communion cuz I was freezing!!! 

[gail]

Yes, for sure

Unbelievable! That must have been quite difficult for you. No roots, changing friends, that is if you had time.

We moved every three years, that was quite a deal. I thought that I had it bad...

[TryinginFL]

sure enough

 

Sure enough, I am pooped - the only day I didn't have plans last week was Tuesday...  I am so tired

 

On a happy note, tomorrow is National Margarita day..

[gail]

Enough also

I am also pooped. The older I get the pooper I am.

National margarita week, what the heck is that? Will look it up to prevent you of writing.

How is buddy Bently?

[TryinginFL]

also OK

 

 

Bentley is fine now - eating and taking his meds!

 

National Margarita Day is Monday (tomorrow) - A Margarita is a delicious alcoholic drink!   Usually had with Mexican food

 

Understand the pooped thing...

[fishinghat]

OK, Party!!!!

[TryinginFL]

party over

 

 

Wish I had someone to party with, FH!  So for me the party is over before it even started!

 

FH, since you are the gardener, can you tell me why my Christmas Cactuses are blooming like crazy now??  Guess they have a different calendar - they are inside

[fishinghat]

over done

 

Those crazy things do what they want to do. My mom had one and it would bloom 2 or 3 times a year and it just seemed to be whenever it wanted to!!
