They ripped it apart today. I have to set it up again.

Sorry to hear that. They certainly keep us on our toes. My cats make me feel like I have four little kids running around. They're always getting in to something.

Someone here got several pints of special premium ice cream for her birthday, and she's sharing them with the office. I took just a little taste of some of them. The brown butter and almond is tasty, but I couldn't bring myself to try goat cheese and red cherry ice cream ... [shudder]

Goat cheese and red cherry? Nope!
I have tried bacon in a sundae and that wasn't bad, but cheese...

This reminds me of when Playstation 4 launched. I lucked out by asking someone at a random store if they had received new stock. Don't despair, you may find it yet, Christmas is still 5 weeks away. I want the Nintendo Classic Mini for myself. Maybe I'll see it under the tree this year (fingers crossed).

I know what you mean from hard to find stuff, my youngest wants a Hatchimal, and there are none to be found anywhere, unless you want to give an arm and a leg on eBay.

Good afternoon folks. I've been away a couple of weeks. Hectic time here. Multiple wildfires around us with 1000s of acres burned. The closest fire is now 50% contained and no longer a threat to us. The fires were human caused and some arrests have been made. Hopefully, they got them all and no new fires are started. Thick smoke makes breathing difficult. The extreme drought is also getting us concerned about our well. So far we seem to be ok but just to be cautious, we are washing our clothes in town at the laundromat.
On a happy note, we plan to put up our Christmas tree this weekend.
Have a blessed evening.

Glad to hear the threat to you is over, that must be quite scary.

Have you ever tried peanut butter and bacon on toast? It's a good sandwich!

It is tough sometimes to remember that they are still "babies." I was taking my clothes out of the dryer and Eli was in the dog bed, that was in the clothes basket, kneading it and "nursing" it. It was so cute, yet such a reminder how young the kittens still are.

It sounds tasty, and I have heard it is pretty good. I read somewhere a few years ago that that was a popular sandwich back early last century.
I did try a peanut butter & bacon burger when we were on vacation in Lake George this past summer. It was surprisingly good.

Good evening,

Another tough day fighting turkeys, I am starting to run out of some. My order never came in today, and I am stressed out over that.
I am heading to bed, the turkeys will be beckoning early tomorrow.

Goodnight, everyone.

Charming! Look at the smiles on both of them!

Thank you! She ran right to him and gave him a big hug last year.

Thanks! I hope you did too. It is worth every penny and the sometimes lengthy wait to see him.

That is nuts!

So stunning! Wow!
It was a harvest moon for a bit last night, then shone bright again. Just gorgeous.

Thanks for the hugs, Har is doing really good thanks <3

Thank you!
I'm just waiting to get a pile of paperwork, but for now, a nice break for me to stop by and visit.

Hope you have a fantastic day, too!

She is very excited to see him snowflake

My daughter asked for one too. I heard that the target stores by me are keeping them at customer service because they get in so few a day.

Merry Thursday!

Wow this time next week you guys will be celebrating Thanksgiving!

Time is moving far too quickly for my liking. Cranking up my Christmas viewing and listening as of this week. I watched Finding Mrs Claus last night. Never saw that one before

Sweet movie.

Okay well have a merry day!

I know what you mean about time going by too quickly! But I still want to wait until we put up our decorations before starting to watch Christmas movies/specials, which will be on November 26th. Have a great day Festive!
