First off, prayers to all affected by recent weather events, and I hope no members (or their families or friends) here suffered loss.
The only craziness weather-wise for us recently is that it’s been an inordinately cool summer. Cooler than any summer in the 45+ years we’ve been back in Texas. Even the few days that have been trip-digits have only been 100-102-ish. Just so odd, and I know, petty compared to others suffering.
On the other side of that, our 2 large trees that were in our front yard succumbed to Snowmageddon 2021 and had to be taken out last week. That whole unprecedented event back in February was pretty crazy-crippling here.

In other news…
Megan and Daniel’s pup Pi is now buried in our backyard, and part of the reason I haven’t been around much lately, because of losing him.
We watched both Pumpkin and Pi many times while Megan and Daniel were out of town, so both were/are very much a part of our family as well.
They left the pups with Daniel’s mother while we all went to the coast. While she was at work one of her roommates with cognitive issues let both pups out in the front yard, instead of the back, to do their business. When the roommate snapped to 3 hours later, Pumpkin was found out in the garage dehydrated and suffering from heat exhaustion, and Pi was nowhere to be found.
Megan and Daniel went on social media, made flyers, worked with Animal Control, etc., and he was sighted a few times, but, was not able to be rounded up.
Last Thursday night, Megan got a call from a young man saying he had found Pi’s body. It appears he had been hit by a car, and had passed a few days prior. The kid recognized Pi from one of the flyers, and animal control verified it was him because he was chipped. Damn sad night, to say the least.
Megan requested that we bury him in our backyard because he loved it here as well, plus, their present home isn’t their forever home, and we couldn’t refuse that.
So, I took last Friday off to dig him a proper resting place in our backyard that morning, and we laid him to rest Friday evening.
There were many times we thought we might never know what happened to him. Obviously we never lost hope for a happier outcome, but, at least the closure brought a modicum of peace.

Anyway, not trying to bring the thread down, as we are all OK now…just trying to pay a proper tribute here to our silly little guy…!!!!! :inlove::happy:
R.I.P. Pi……..

Awww....I'm so sorry for your loss! What kind of dog was he? He has the same kind of coloring and such as my dog when I was growing up. Pi looks like a sweetie!

We were invited out by my in-laws for yesterday and we went to this place that has several stations. It's kind of a buffet, but they have both ready made stuff and stuff made to order, like you can pick your ingredients for the wok and they cook it for you, or you pick a kind of pasta and a sauce and what you want in it, and they make it for you, etc. But each section is in a different part of the restaurant. My FIL got lost....that's not a good sign. At a certain point, he hadn't been back to the table for a bit, so my husband went looking and found him with one of the workers, asking for help to get back to his table. He just couldn't remember how to get back. There's basically one long hallway and all the stations are along that hallway with tables behind them. Anyway, not a good sign of things to come, but we already knew he was struggling with his health. He seemed in good spirits though, so that's good.

Sad for the FIL getting lost, but it is good that he was in good spirits about it. Was the buffet part self serve? Just wondering if there were any covid type protocols.

Happy Labor Day! It is a sunny but crisp (52 degrees) morning here. I guess summer is going away. :confused:

Normally today is our meat smoking day but hubs did that a couple weeks ago and froze up a bunch of stuff. So today he is making a Sunday gravy type sauce recipe he found online using short ribs. He has made it before and it was tasty so I'm looking forward to it. Especially since that means my cooking for the day is done. I made french toast and bacon for breakfast.

Enjoy your day.
