Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    Good Sunday morning BBB Friends.
    • Neighbors laptop is beyond economical saving. I found them a nice, inexpensive replacement at Best Buy. I get to set up after church. I love playing with other people's new toys.
    • The end of the week looks downright frigid for us. TWC is predicting a Friday night low of 14° which is recording breaking for us.
    • Keep Sassy safe!
    • I am playing Vanna White and turning slides for church this morning. I better get going.

    Morning bbb

    Yesterday was forecasted to be cloudy with a chance of rain but woke up to mostly sunny so we (and our friends) loaded up and headed to a beach club where a snorkeling expat group was meeting up. Never did find the group but we had a great time. $20 entrance fee got you loungers and an umbrella for the day and a $20 voucher for food. They have 3 vegan options (chips/plantains with guacamole, falafel tacos and mixed green salad). We had a couple of cocktails and the first two options and spent $50 for the whole day. Cab was $8 each way. Much better than the $100 each plus $22 cab they paid last weekend. They did get water toys included but I’m satisfied. Snorkeling was good there.

    Today it’s raining but need to go to Sam’s for a couple of things. There is a Christmas parade tonight downtown so will probably walk to that.

    Talked to my sister yesterday. They are having a super freeze week with multiple days below zero. Pretty early in winter for that. I’m happy with our low 80’s.

    Scary about you and Sassy getting hassled by other dogs. One of my big fears when we housesit.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    The dog interactions are kind of strange. I have been walking Sassy around our neighborhood for more than a year and this happens two times in a week.

    Cold rain in Tumwater, today. Singing in the choir, then two separate meetings after church. I'll get home around 2, I suppose.

    Morning BBB

    Irresponsible dog Owners! Glad both Sassy and SMG are Okay!

    Cold temps here too....

    I'm done shopping but still awaiting some deliveries. Did most my shopping online. Got Oakley a LED lighted collar like Maddie has. Hope it arrives on time !

    My Friend ... (my xsil) is driving up from NC with niece who is moving back to WI and she's giving her her car. Xsil staying here tomorrow night and I'll take her to airport by 6am Tues to fly back home to NC. It'll be good to see her!

    Today is going to be a chore day and get groceries for next weekend.

    Be safe BBB and stay warm!

    Good morning.

    Enjoy your fire drill this morning, Skip.

    I don't understand people that don't keep an eye on their pets. It's as if they don't get that they're personally liable for the dog's actions or something. I like the mace idea too. Only problem is you might get Sassy by mistake.

    We went to a winery yesterday and the wine tasted like someone dropped Skittles into a Chardonnay. Texans need to accept that they can't make wine or spirits and move on to other productive pursuits.

    Once again my post is gone
    Church this morning, then headed to Dennis's old hood to DD's
    Older brother who had hip surgery last Thursday surprised us by showing up driving little over hour to get there.
    DW had made a cream cheese pound cake and an Italian cream cake; truck cut across in front of us; Toyota safety features saved us but Italian cream cake got smashed from quick stop, they ate it anyway.
    As big and fat as I am, I'm still the runt in our family.
    Lots to do next few weeks, have to learn opening and closing of lodge, get lodge floor completed; DW's birthday in 3 weeks and DMIL will more than likely show-up the 26th, she wanted to come home with us today.
    House fire that DS went to Friday night, was a total loss, 12 y.o. in hospital with 70% burns father did not make it out, first body DS had to remove; he is doing good, but it is taking a toll. Believe he will keep up fire department though. He said someone had to do it, folks were hoarders one reason man could not make it out.
    Skip, a little extra insulation can be very benefitable in very cold weather; hope throat is better where can put a few pounds back on.
    Envious of those having to deal with low 80's outside temps.
    Willing to bet each one of those pet owners would tell you their dogs would not hurt anyone or anything
    Texans know how to grow great beef
