Today is tequila day! @betty rose I know how much you like your tequila so celebrate!

Thanks, I'm having my Tequila today. Son-in law goes in for surgery tomorrow. I'm cooking up a storm making casserole's and bread pudding for breakfast. I'm trying to make enough for the week. We will be at the hospital while he is in surgery, bringing him home. And staying until, bedtime....the boy's are going over for tomorrow night. I may stay, they wouldn't know what to do if an emergency comes up. When it rains, it pours. We don't want this part of our family too stressed out.

Ours currently doesn't have them anymore, but, I was told they'll be back back again at some random point.

Nice to hear this.....I'm falling more behind....to much going on for this week. I'm cooking all day for son-in-law surgery. Going to spend the tomorrow with him during surgery and bringing back home. We will spend the night and next day, to make sure everything is okay. It's pretty tough at the moment. We just go from one event to another. I'm sleeping in the waiting room.

Hello everyone, I will be off most of the week. We are staying with son-in-law for his surgery, and afterward. I'm cooking for us for the week. I haven't done this in years. Old dogs, are just that....old dogs! At least it's tequila day!

Sympathy like. If you don't mind me asking why?

For science I read that if you drink black coffee every day for two weeks, you won't want coffee with creamer anymore. After this morning I'm even more of a disbeliever, but I've got a bet going with one of my friends who swears it's true.

Catalonia, Spain. Here, there, everywhere. No rhyme or reason on which to use, I have a massive variety.

They're so beautiful. Sometimes I just have to google them to find out where they are and add them to my list of places I'd like to see. Or to see if I'm right about where they are. Thanks!!

Trying black coffee today for the first time. It's not as disgusting as I thought it would be. I mean..... it's not delicious either, but I *might* make it through this cup.

Oh my, you are brave. I despise black coffee--my coffee must be embellished with either honey or sugar, and Half and Half. Yum . . .

This explanation that your friend gave you is right up there with the green olive theory. If you don't like green olives, but you eat 5 in a row, you'll stop hating them and like them.

Nope. Never believed that one either!

@MinnieM123 It's only 64* outside and I must say it feels good!

I guess we'll find out in two weeks day one was disgusting after a few sips. I was able to drink maybe half a cup. I'll try again tomorrow!

Yea for the excuse to have a margarita with the veggie chili and corn bread tonight. seeing it has 5 types of hot peppers in it make that 2

Dos margaritas for sure! Your dinner sounds pretty good. I'm having leftovers, again.

Very nice of you to help take care of your son-in-law. So you deserve a bout of tequila! As for all the cooking, so nice of you to prepare all the food, don't forget to take it a little easy, remember you can always order a pizza too (no cheese for you though!).

!

I first started drinking coffees by drinking mochas, eventually I moved to mochas with a double shot of esspresso. Then we went to Paris and I had good cafe au laits, when we came back the mochas were too sweet and the cafe au lait at the coffee shop wasn't nearly as good as in Paris. I also wanted to start getting away from all the sugar and calories in those special coffees. So I bought a coffee maker and started making regular coffee and I would put a little milk in it, and after a couple weeks of that I just started drinking my coffee black. Now that's the only way I can drink it, although occasionally I will have some Baileys in it. Maybe it would help if you just started lessening the amount of creamer and working your way to black.

So adorable!!!

@MinnieM123 It's only 64* outside and I must say it feels good!

We had 64 this morning and it was very nice on the porch with the morning coffee. And our high was about 75 today, very pleasant. Tomorrow and the next few days it is supposed to edge to 88-90. I think 60-to mid 70's is the perfect temperature range. I told hubs the other day that we should move somewhere that has those temperatures all the time. He just said, "Hmmmm."

Our temperature is a blissful 58!! So HAPPY!!!

So, hubs took the dog to the vet today for some shots (vaccinations) he needed, and also to have the vet look at a lump on his head. (Our vet recently moved to a different veterinary practice a distance away, so when hubs took Jack into the new office location, Jack was all befuddled. Jack doesn't like change . . . any change )

He kept trying to leap up on his hind legs, to grab on to the reception counter with his front paws. Then, he stood back down on the floor, and looked confused. Hubs was trying to figure out what in heck was going on with him. Then, he remembered . . . At the previous vet's office, they had a jar of treats on the counter, and one time, Jack jumped up, knocked over the canister, and the treats fell all over the floor. Jack devoured the flying treats and was quite proud of his accomplishment. Each time Jack went there, he'd immediately head for the treats jar.

So the new vet's office did not have a treats jar; and Jack stared at hubs as if to say, why did you take me to this second rate dive? (Oh, the lump on his head was just a benign, fatty cyst.)

Whelp, no more baby gate. Baby gates cannot stop Jasmine.

Glad to hear that the lump wasn't anything of concern for Jack. Too bad about the lack of treats for Jack. Kapono also went to the vet today, just to get her nails done. She hates the vet and never takes the treats inside the vet's office. Her main goal is getting back to the car as fast as possible. She actually ran away from me (to the other side of the car) when I opened the car door when we arrived at the vet and I had to carry her in, she would not walk in. Anyway, I always take the treat the vet offers her and give it to Kapono in the car. This time the vet didn't offer a treat and I didn't think to ask for one. So once we were back in the car she was very expectant for her treat and I think she sighed in disappointment when she realized she wasn't getting one. I did give her an extra Milk Bone when we got home, but I think she was disappointed to go through all that trauma for a "nothing".

I was wondering how long that would contain her! So funny!

When my old dog Henry was a puppy, up until 2 years old he would climb over a single baby gate, and he wasn't a big dog (about a foot high), so we had to stack two gate up in the doorway to the kitchen. That is where we would keep him while we were at work until he grew out of his chewing phase and the kitchen doesn't have a door.
