Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Sorry Buster hasn't been by by hope he does soon. I also hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

I sent you Anne's last name in a PM on here for security. Thank you for thinking of her. It's been a pretty slow day around here. Had to break up a few spats between Tang and Tyler but nothing lock up worthy at least.

Soon I will begin the process of taking care of their needs as well as the local waifs. I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy chilly 50-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang. sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you well in health and in good spirits.

I'm so glad you're having this quality family time with your precious boys before you start your new job on 11/11. I know it would be even better if Anne was able to be there with you. I hope this will be her last week at McKesson so that you'll have a few days together before you start your new jobs. Please let us know how things go.

Today I worked on personalizing my email set up with Thunderbird. In the process I inadvertently selected an option that showed the "message source" in the header of emails - - which meant that the printer would print out the message source garbage before the email. It took me 2 hours to figure out how to "hide" the message source so that the emails would print out normally. I have NO IDEA how I managed to change the email headers but I'm ever so grateful that I figured out how to change it - - which at this moment in time I can't remember how I did it. The good news is that my emails print out normally again. I figured out a major difference between my new Canon printer and my old one - - my old printer has a "bypass" tray that I could use for envelopes. The new printer doesn't have this feature - - so every time I need to print an envelope now I have to take out the paper from the paper tray, insert the envelope, print the envelope, then reload the paper tray with paper. The printer is big enough that a bypass tray feature could have been included with it. Oh well - - such is life. If all problems had the simple solution of replacing paper with envelopes, and vice versa, what a wonderful life things would be. Sweet Buster is here visiting with me as I'm writing to you. He always helps to bring a smile to my day.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy and cold (38) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Sorry to hear you had trouble with your email, but glad you figured it out. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Speaking of tech issues. The other night I left my tablet on the ground with the case open and I think one of us stepped on it ohmy.gif causing pressure damage to the bottom of the screen where all the screen controls are. Anne found a close out deal on Amazon for one that's actually newer and better for 35.00 (normally 70.00) and I've been working to figure it out. The only thing I don't like about it is it plugs in at the top with only a USB and had to install a sound booster app. I uninstalled a bunch of stuff on the old one and will use it still for Pandora when I'm in the shower as it does have good rich sound with the speaker I bought to go with that one. But I really like the new one over all though biggrin.gif

Not much to report here. Not as many fights today except a little while ago when they both wanted attention (sigh) Soon it will be time to see to my boy's needs and those of the local waifs.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny cold 40-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

That was a revolting development with your phone - - an extra expense that you didn't need right now but am so glad Anne found one that was on sale on Amazon. I applaud you at being able to understand a smart phone, my friend. I hope you're able to enjoy your new phone for many years to come. I'm hoping today is Anne's last day with McKesson so that the both of you can enjoy some quality family time before you begin your new jobs next week - - finally at last!!! Please let us know how things go.

Have been working on my shred box today which was to the overflowing point. Had to let the shredder cool down a couple of times before I could finish the job but the box is empty now. Sweet Buster came by for a visit and stayed long enough to take a nap in the chair in the living room area while I worked on the shredding project. He left a few minutes ago to do his afternoon rounds - - he may come again for another visit later on.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cold (33) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.
It wasn't a phone, it was my tablet (WI-FI only) I still have a flip phone for my cell. But it was a good deal that came at a good time. Anne's last day was yesterday apparently as she didn't feel well this morning and it was so cold outside. She still has to turn in her badge and get her candy dish though.

Tang and Tyler liked having us both home today and we found a free on Prime Rifftrax on some Kansas City clown Christmas show from 1966. Delightfully bad.

Not much else happening here. I already put food out for the local waifs as I saw Tabby and Tyke milling about the bushes. I don't think they're used to it getting dark so early. Tyler and Tang have had their milk and the treats and Tang's shot will come later.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, now sunny breezy chilly 40-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry Anne wasn't feeling well yesterday, but am glad you and Anne are being able to have these next few days to have quality family time together with your precious boys before you begin your new jobs. I hope Anne is feeling better.

The new Canon printer requires separate toner and drum cartridges for it to operate - - which increases the cost of replacing them. The old printer's toner and drum were combined into one cartridge. This morning I was able to find an online vendor that sells the separate toner and drum cartridges for less money than what I would have to pay were they only available through Canon. So I can now begin setting aside funds each month so that I'll have the funds available when I need to purchase these cartridges. Sweet Buster has come by a couple of times today to say hello but not to stay. He's out making his neighborhood rounds as I'm writing to you. He may stop by for another visit later this afternoon.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (45) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad to hear you were able to find the printer cartridges a little cheaper online. Also glad to hear Buster came by albeit briefly and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Not much going on here today. We went to Walmart for our staples and a few thing for lunch and dinner. Anne found a whole bunch of Rifftrax she bought and DL years ago to her laptop and transferred them to DVD. They did the 1978 Star War Holiday Special that I remember from when I was 12. Even riffed Anne's comment was no wonder you don't like Star Wars (it was that bad, the commentary made it funny at least) laugh.gif Even the commercials were riffed.

Tyler and Tang are doing OK. The spats are are fewer and farther between. Tyler really is growing like a weed. He's like a gangly teenager now. they have had their milk and will get treats and Tang his shot later. Only Tyke was out there tonight, but rather vocal about his supper. So that's done for now.

I hope you've had a good day and will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy 60-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday out and about with errands, and am glad she found some Rifftrax that you could enjoy watching. It's always nice when you find bargains. I'm so glad you're enjoying these days until you begin your new jobs.

It's a quiet day here as usual for Sundays. Sweet Buster has been by a couple of times to visit but is enjoying the warm sunbeams today. He may come back for another visit later on.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (58) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster stopped by and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

We went to the old place to feed the waifs first thing this morning. No people, but no waifs either. Oh well, better luck next time. I hope they find the food OK.

From there we went to Dollar Tree and Kroger to round out the supplies for the week. Tomorrow we start the new jobs and I'm hoping it's what we are looking for. If nothing else, it will be nice for us both to be getting 18.00 per hour for a while. We can finally get caught up and also just in time for the holidays.

Tang and Tyler are doing OK for the most part. Tyler had to go into "jail" for a little while as he was being too rough with Tang. But that seems to be getting better as Tyler gets older. They have had their milk and the treats and Tang's shot will come later. Tabby and Tyke were already waiting outside, so I put their first round out.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny very pleasant 60-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I, too, am hoping your and Anne's new jobs turn out to be good ones for both of you. I look forward to sharing your news as to how things go. And I can't help but chuckle at sweet Tyler needing a "time out" so that your precious Tang could have a few moments of peace from his rambunctious little brother. I do sooooo remember how it was with my beloved Eli and Noah, and needing to encourage the both of them to settle down for a few minutes - - particularly when Eli would have tufts of Noah's fur between his teeth. No damage done to Noah - - just from their over zealous play.

Worked on Christmas cards this morning - - can't believe it's only 6 weeks away. Since temps warmed up so nicely with bright sunbeams and a gentle breeze I was able to take a walk. It took me a little over an hour to do a 1.4 mile round trip walk but it felt so good to be out in the fresh air. The rest of the week is going to be cold so I really wanted to take advantage of the nice weather today. Sweet Buster has been by for a brief visit a couple of times today but not long enough to settle down to take a nap. Can't say as I blame him for wanting to be out in the warm sunbeams today. Perhaps he will come by later for another visit.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Wet and cold (35) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear you had a nice walk and a visit from Buster although it was brief. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well.

Today was a real cluster. We had to wait 2 hours just to get into the building, deal with the usual malcontents of mass call center hiring and our credentials didn't work. We ended up having to leave at 7:00 rather than 7:30 as the shuttle service stopped and they had to have managers ferry people to the remote parking lot (the main one fills up fast) We just walked dry.gif Just keep telling ourselves 18.00 per hour.

Anne dropped me off to go drop off her McKesson badge. Tyler is in "jail" again for overly aggressive play with Tang. But at least they both had their milk and Tang his shot. My waifs braved the weather, so I put their food out as well.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny blustery cold 30-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so sorry your and Anne's first day on your new job did not go well. Did the other new employees also have problems? I hope things will smooth out for you as the week progresses. Please let us know how things go.

Have been busy working on the W10 desk top today. It's getting a little easier to navigate through it but W7 is ever so much easier. Sweet Buster hasn't been by yet to visit. Perhaps his mom and dad are keeping him inside because of the very cold temps today.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cold (21) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Sorry Buster hadn't stopped by and I hope he did eventually and that he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

So, it wasn't our credentials (and a whole row for that matter) but no network connections on those stations. We had to move to another area that's really cold as they have exposed ceiling that's pushing down cold air. I hope they have our connections fixed tomorrow. Oh, and we heard about 150 people got frustrated in the line to get in and left. More opportunity for us I guess.

Tang and Tyler met us at the door when we got home are doing well. They have had their milk, Tang his shot and I just put down their treats. Tabby and Tyke were there for the fist round of food and Tyke apparently by himself on the second one.

I hope you have had a good day and have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny frigid still below freezing 30-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm glad the problems were "technology" oriented which can be fixed. I'm so sorry about you and Anne having to endure cold temps INSIDE the building at your temporary work stations. - - At least I'm sincerely hoping they're temporary. I hope today is a better day for you and Anne at work. Please let us know how things go.

I think I may have mentioned to you in a prior note that Roku is updating their technology and the streaming box I've been using on my bedroom TV needed replacing. This morning was spent getting it installed and all my programs recognized by the new device and logged into, etc.. It's up and running and the old device will go to the e-waste collection event next year. Sweet Buster did come by for a visit yesterday evening, and he has been by once so far today to check in and say "hello." He doesn't seem to mind the frigid temps.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cold (28) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Yeah, we knew about the older Roku models being phased out. Both of ours are newer than that. I'm glad you were able to get your updated finally. Glad to hear Buster stopped by and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

We got to move back to our old desks which was nice, but it's still cold in there in general. That and having to wait on the shuttle because the late shift has to park in the remote lot. This is because over half the main lot it "reserved" for management dry.gif Also we thought we'd at least get to work 3 days next week, but because (again management) wants an extra day in their home states (SC, or PA) we only work and only get paid for the 2 mad.gif

Tang and Tyler were waiting on us when we got in. They have had their milk, Tang his shot and their treats. Tabby was also waiting so I set that out too. Just set out the 2nd round to Tyke's delight.

I hope you have had a good day and you will have a peasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny cold 30-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry about the parking situation and you and Anne only being paid for two days of work next week. The loss of pay is truly a bummer. I'm keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that things will improve in this job. Please let us know how things go.

Have been getting caught up on some overdue emails today. Sweet Buster has come by a couple of times for a visit, with his second visit staying long enough to take a nap in the chair in the living room space. He left a few minutes ago to do his afternoon rounds. He may return later on for another visit. He came by for a visit just before sunset yesterday evening and stayed long enough to take a nap. When he woke up it was dark outside and temps were already plummeting for the night. He attempted to leave through his door but when he felt the cold air on his face he backed back into the condo not in any hurry to go out into the cold temps. So I called his mom to let her know that her little boy wanted her to come get him, and she gladly came to pick up her sweet boy and take him home. He's such a sweet fellow. My brother called last night to let me know that he and my sister in law will be going to her mom's home for Thanksgiving. So Scarlet will be staying with me from 11/27-30. Her mother isn't strong enough now to make the trip here, and they need to spend as much time as they can with her.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (36) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster has made some extended visits and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK. I hope miss Scarlet's stay will be pleasant as well.

So, with the holiday not being next week, but the week after that's the week we'll only get paid for 2 days. Still stinks though. We did luck out by leaving early today getting there and 9:30 and finding a spot on the main lot. Not enough to lift Anne's spirits overall though. I'm pretty sure she hate's everything about this job but the pay. Pretty sure she blames me too as she's bitten my head off every night this week leaving work. I tried to coax her into keeping her job at McKesson but made the mistake of being truthful that I'd miss her working all by myself at the new place. Now it's all my fault apparently sad.gif

Tang and Tyler met us at the door and have had their milk, treats and Tang his shot. When I went to put the local waif food out I was greeted by Tabby, Tyke and Socks. The second round has also been put out.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

I'm sorry it's being a difficult adjustment to your and Anne's new jobs. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that things will improve for both of you. Please let us know how things go.

Have been working on the W10 computer today getting security updates installed and some financials. Printed off my bank statement so will be working on reconciling it to my checkbook over the next few days. Sweet Buster has been by a few times today to check in with me and say hi but not long enough to settle down and take a nap. That's okay - - it's always a pleasure seeing him.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (35) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster stopped by and hoping he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

We didn't luck out with the main lot parking lot today. We were held up a bit at the end of the day learning how to enter our time so we can get paid. This caused us to miss the first shuttle, and of course that was my fault too huh.gif

Tyler and Tang met us when we got in. They have had their milk, Tang his shot and their treats. I set the food out to no customers. Anne said she thought she saw Socks and some of both the wet and dry was gone. I topped them both off.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny windy chilly 40-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry the parking isn't more convenient. I remember having to walk at least a half mile from the parking lot to my building every morning and evening as there were no shuttle buses. Hopefully you and Anne will adjust to the new routines of your new jobs, and hopefully the jobs themselves will be decent ones. Please let us know how things go.

Worked on reconciling the checkbook with the bank statement today. I'm always glad when that's done. Sweet Buster has been by for several visits today. When he arrived about 20 minutes ago he brought a little mouse with him, and we played "catch the mouse" for a few minutes. I finally got it in the dustpan and returned it outside. It was still alive but don't know if it was injured in any way. Sweet Buster searched for it here inside for a few minutes but has adjusted to the reality that it's no longer here. He's settled down on the carpet here in the computer area looking somewhat disheartened about his "lost prize" as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, Socks, Tabby, Tyke, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the cooling autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (41) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK well. Hope the poor mouse is alright too.

Not much gong on here. Used a couple coupons to have a decent lunch for under 9.00. We then went over to PetSmart to look in on the kitties. They had this gray and white and all white male and female that were really big. They were surrenders as their human was in a car wreck and had nobody to help care for them sad.gif Made me think of Tom and Theresa.

From there we wandered around the mall and watched them set up the Santa setting with a Disney Frozen theme. From there we went to Walmart for staples and then home.

Avenger's End Game came in Anne's Netflix yesterday, so we watched that. Three hours long (whew) I guess Robert Downey Jr really is done playing Iron-Man. Sad ending.

Tang and Tyler are doing well. It was adorable watching them sleep in separate chairs in the living room getting sunbeams during the movie happy.gif They have both had their milk and I will give them treats and Tang his shot later. I also put out the first round of food for the local waifs and spied Socks noshing that.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur=ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny chilly 40-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday - - a welcome change from the chaos of starting your new jobs. And I know your precious boys enjoyed the quality family time while you and Anne watched the movie.

Got caught up on a couple of emails today. Sweet Buster has been by a few times but not long enough to stay and take a nap. Will start getting my afternoon meal cooking after I get this sent to you.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (42) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster stopped by even if briefly. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

We went first thing this morning to feed the waifs at the old place and I saw Little Gray. Although she's not so little anymore. I think someone else may be putting food out. That and she's friendlier than she used to be.

From there we went to Dollar Tree and Kroger for the rest of the week's groceries. We came home and found a new Rifftrax free on prime. So we watched that and had lunch. Chicken from the Walmart deli from yesterday. The boys really enjoyed that tongue.gif

Speaking of Tang and Tyler, they are doing well. They have had their milk and I will give them their treats and Tang his shot later. I had the whole crew when I went to put the food out for the locals (Socks, Tabby and Tyke) Since Tyler was upstairs with his milk and Tang was focused on his, I felt comfortable leaving the door ajar between putting out the water then the food. Tyke doesn't try to come inside anymore, but Socks looked a little freak out.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy rainy chilly 40-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you and Anne had another enjoyable day yesterday and with your precious boys. I'm so glad you and Anne had a chance to see Little Gray yesterday when you provisioned the waifs at your previous residence. And I"m smiling that the waifs at your current home were eagerly anticipating last night's provisions.

Worked a bit on financials today on the W10 computer, and I finally figured out how to get the WeatherBug program installed with an icon on my desktop. That's just taken me a couple of weeks to figure out. Sweet Buster has been by a couple of times today to say "hi" but hasn't stayed long enough to settle down to take a nap. He's got places to go, people to see, and things to do.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (42) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad to hear Buster stopped by to say "hi" at least and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Another day on the new job. I think besides the parking what's bugging us the most is the over crowding of the building. Hoping this is a one off where the training is worse than the actual job. But calling insurance companies to verify benefits doesn't sound very hard, and 10 cases a day does not seem hard either.

Tyler and Tang were waiting on us when we got home a tad impatient. We had to stop at Meijer for a few items on the way home. They have both had their milk and treats and Tang his shot. The waif "family" was waiting on us too and they are working on round 2 of the food.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, somewhat sunny 40-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

If I understand correctly your comments about the job itself I'm glad it doesn't seem an impossible task. I can relate to the overcrowding situation. Employers look to "studies" to define how much minimum square inch space an employee requires to perform a task - - but this does not include, or deliberately overlooks, the emotional impact of "sweat shop" conditions. I hope you and Anne are located close by to each other - - or at least within viewing distance - - when seating is assigned. Please let us know how things go. I'm chuckling at your precious boys being a bit miffed at you and Anne for your "tardy" arrival. I can just hear them "where have you been? Do we need to give you a curfew?" And I'm smiling at the waif family eagerly anticipating their evening provisions.

Have been busy working on scheduling online payments. With banks being closed next Thursday for Thanksgiving I have to schedule some payments earlier. Have also prepared checks to pay my taxes tomorrow when I'm doing errands. Sweet Buster has been by for a visit and he took a nice nap on my bed for awhile. He left about 20 minutes ago to do his afternoon rounds. He may return later for another visit. He came by late yesterday afternoon when it was raining outside. We had a nice snuggle while he waited for his mom to come take him home for the evening.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy and cool (44) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster stopped by for a longer visit today and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

The way our area is set up is in a part of the building that wasn't a call center when we were there before (Vantiv) It's just a bunch of conference tables set up end to end with computers about every 2 1/2 feet; I'm sure you can picture that. We're hoping if by some luck we do get hired FTE, we'll be on the other side where there are actual cubes. There was/is no assigned seating (unless this unruly mob keep running their mouths) So Anne and I sit next to each other on the end of a row pretty close to a bathroom and small break room with an ice/water dispenser.

We were on time and then some getting home (Anne took the shuttle over to the remote lot while the trainer was in a meeting around 6:00 to get her car and drive over to the main lot) Tang and Tyler were pleased with this and both have had their milk and treats and Tang his shot. Anne said the waif family came around as I was in the shower for the first round of food and I just set out the second one for Tabby and Tyke.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy 50-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm glad you and Anne are finding "something" decent about the new job in that you're being able to sit together in an area of your choice. With the weather getting colder and upcoming frozen weather events to endure I do understand the consternation about the parking situation. That is a bummer. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that the jobs themselves will be good ones. Please let us know how things go.

Left the condo around 9:30 a.m. and returned around Noon. I got the taxes paid, a bill in the mail, my collection of recyclables deposited at the Town recycling center, and a few provisions from Food Lion. I'm ready to settle down for the afternoon. Sweet Buster has been by to say "hello" but isn't wasting the sunbeams and warmer temps on a prolonged visit. He may return later this afternoon.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (43) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by even if it was a short stay and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Well, over the hump as it were. Can't wait until that first big check Friday. We really need it and the next one what with the one after that having only 2 days on it dry.gif Apparently, we found out, they're doing it to us Christmas week too. Jerks.

Tang and Tyler met us when we got in. Tyler has actually taken to looking for us out of the front living room window. They have both had their milk and treats and Tang his shot. Tabby, Tyke and Socks were around too and have finished off the first round of food and I just put out the second one.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy chilly 50-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry you and Anne will have diminished paychecks for Christmas week. There's never a good time for a paycheck shortage, and the Christmas holidays is high on the list. I'm hoping the shortage in your paychecks won't adversely affect your financial stability - - that you'll be able to pay your rent, utilities, etc., and still have funds available for other things like food for you, your precious boys, and the waifs, and hopefully some funds remaining for some fun. I'm hoping as this week closes out at work that both you and Anne are beginning to feel more at ease with your new jobs. Please let us know how things go.

Have been working on bill-a-thon financials today - - scheduling online payments and organizing receipts for filing. When I went to print out a letter on my HP printer nothing happened several times. So I finally unplugged the USB cord from the back of the printer and then plugged it back in - - and it began printing just fine. High technology at work again. Buster's mom and dad had the sorrowful responsibility of easing their beloved feline companion Gabby's transition home to the angels on Wednesday, 11/20. She was 17 years old and suddenly went into a health crisis situation. She was already very frail due to her age, and they decided to try to make her transition journey as peaceful as possible with the assistance of Gabby's veterinary care provider. So I've been working on a memorial project for them to honor their beloved little girl. So their household now only has three precious souls: Bonnie, Buster, and their canine companion Buddy. Sweet Buster hasn't been by yet today for a visit but I may see him later on. It's been raining outside for most of the morning so his mom and dad may have been keeping him inside where it's dry and warm.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy and cool (39) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm so sorry to hear about Gabby sad.gif I hope her siblings Buster and Bonnie are doing OK.

Sorry, I didn't post yesterday. It was a bit hectic. But we made it through another week and we did at least get paid. A lot of folks didn't (shades of Firstsource) I was afraid that because they added an e to the middle of my last name I was going to have a problem but I didn't Apparently as long as my tax docs and direct deposit was right (which they are) I'm OK.

Not much going on here due to the weather. We had lunch at the Jason's salad bar which we haven't been able to afford for a while. Then we went to Trader Joe's to look around since we were in the area and found some interesting looking crackers. Then we just came home and watched a movie on Netflix (Spider-Man Far From Home)

Tang and Tyler are doing OK and I just gave them their milk. I will get Tang's shot and their treats later. I also put the food out for the local waifs.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny gusty windy chilly 50-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so glad you and Anne got paid on Friday. That's always welcome. And it sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday enjoying the day together with your precious boys.

Have been working on financials both Friday and yesterday, and got caught up with a couple of emails. Last night around 10:15 p.m. we had a couple of power interruptions so this morning I had to reset all of the digital clocks. Sweet Buster has been keeping me company with his frequent visits. He's been by a couple of times today but is enjoying the sunbeams today. Yesterday it was rainy and raw outside.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (43) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad to hear Buster paid you some visits and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

We went to feed the waifs at the old place today but didn't see any of them, or any people at least. I hope they are doing OK. Then we went to Kroger and Dollar Tree to get our weekly supplies which wasn't much since we only work 2 days this week. But Anne did the math and thinks we'll be OK.

Tyler and Tang are well and have had their milk. I'm about to give Tang his shot and put out the treats later. I already put out the first round of food for our local waif "family".

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday, and am keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that you will not be financially burdened with a diminished paycheck due a short work week. Please let us know how things go.

Got my errands done this morning. Have been working on my Christmas letters for family members today. That's a project I've been wanting to start for a couple of weeks now. Sweet Buster was waiting for me when I got back. He's been here a few times to check in with me and say "hi" but is enjoying the sunbeams today so his visits are brief.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (56) greetings to you. I Hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by a few times and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Well, this week's check will be further diminished as we both were sidelined today by chest colds. Anne crunched the numbers again and believes we will still be OK. She at least has an appointment with Dr. Chary tomorrow she made last week for a swollen lymph node.

Tang and Tyler are doing well and have had their milk. I'm about to give Tang his shot and treats will come later. I put the food out for the local waifs but only saw Tyke. I guess he's getting big enough to go out on his own sometimes.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 60-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry you and Anne weren't feeling well yesterday and hope the doctor is able to help Anne feel better today. I hope yesterday's absenteeism won't be counted against you and Anne. Please let us know how things go.

This morning I started preparations for Scarlet's arrival tomorrow - - dusting, vacuuming, etc.. Still have some things to do but will wait until later to do them when I'm sure sweet Buster won't be visiting anymore today. After resting for a little bit the great outdoors was beckoning me to take a walk, so I took a delightful walk in the sunbeams and fresh air. When I got back sweet Buster was here waiting to greet me which was a delightful surprise. He's settled comfortably on my bed taking a nap as I'm writing to you.

Hello Moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster finally came by after your walk. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK. I also hope Scarlet will enjoy her time with you.

Apparently Anne has a slight ear infection from allowing Tyler to suckle on her earlobe blink.gif A round of antibiotics for that (and the ceasing of the suckling) We did go back to work and as far as we know nothing is counting against us, nor did we miss much in terms of material apparently.

Tyler and Tang are doing fine. They have both had their milk and treats and Tang his shot. Even though it's raining I put food out for the local waifs. Tyke was the only brave soul I've seen so far though.

I hope you have had a god day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy rainy damp 50-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm keeping Anne in my thoughts and prayers that the medication will help her to feel better. Please let us know how she's doing. And I'm glad to share your news that things seem to be okay at work with your missed day on Monday. So I presume you have today and the rest of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend off. I hope you will be able to enjoy this time family time together.

Scarlet arrived around 11 a.m.. She will probably not go home until Sunday afternoon, which is okay. Haven't seen sweet Buster out and about yet today but he may be staying inside where it's warm and dry. Worked on a couple of overdue emails and am enjoying a reading a book from the library.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and cool (46) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I hope that Scarlet will enjoy her stay with you and that Buster and Bonnie are doing OK.

I'm not sure how the medicine is helping Anne as I have no idea if she's even taken any; she hasn't told me. Also, "family" for me tomorrow will consist of me and the the boys. Her older sister pulled her usual divide and conquer BS like she does every year. We were not invited because I wasn't invited (I did call her sister out on her BS a while back for being a jerk to their mother, so a no brainer on the her motives) From the drama of the texts back and forth I gathered their dad wouldn't come unless Anne was invited. Then he decided he wasn't coming at all for the break as he put it. So, once again, it's just me and the kitties. I am starting to have serious reservations about always being on the losing end of this drama. Makes me wonder just how much I matter...if at all. But we did buy 4 leg/thigh quarters and all the fixings at Walmart. So we'll be stuffed at least dry.gif

Speaking of the boys. They are doing well. They have had their milk (well, Tang did. I think Tyler's losing interest. Maybe can food for him going forward) I will give Tang his shot later as well as treats for both. My waif "family" was waiting for the food, so I put the first round out.

I hope you and Scarlet have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. And that you both have a very nice holiday. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny blustery chilly 50-ish Thanksgiving Day greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

As you know family dynamics are not the easiest to navigate even in the best of times. I don't know the full background history but from my personal experiences Anne may be feeling like she's being put in the middle having to make a "choice" - - "it's either us or Tracy" and trying to maintain "loyalties" to keep everybody happy is nearly impossible. Also speaking from personal experience it sounds to me like you're getting the better end with having Thanksgiving with your precious Tang and Tyler. Anne will need your and Tang's and Tyler's comforting support when she gets back home to you. And that's an important thing to remember - - she comes home to YOU. I hope whatever the circumstances are that you and Anne will be be able to stay strong together.

It's been a quiet day here with Scarlet. She hasn't seen Buster out and about because there haven't been any tantrums at the windows. Have been enjoying reading a delightful library book called Cat on the Scent by Rita Mae Brown, and have caught up on a couple of emails.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, Socks, Tabby, Tyke, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the cooling autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Clear and cool (39) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad to hear Scarlet is doing OK. I hope that Buster and Bonnie are as well.

Well, I think Anne's dad not coming regardless took the wind out of her sister's sails. Anne did show me the text saying we were both welcome. I'm sure Anne transferring her money to defray the costs had something to do with it dry.gif In any case, I went. Her sister was nice which may or may not have been an act. Her brother in law and nephew are always nice. Her niece used to be but as she gets older not so much. But it was a good and uneventful meal. We picked her mother up and dropped her off.

Tang and Tyler are doing well but seemed a little down as we were leaving as that's he the time of day we eat when we stay home. They have both had their milk and I will put out treats and give Tang his shot later. I already put food out for the local waifs.

I hope you and Scarlet have had a good holiday and that you will both have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy cool-ish 50-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm glad you were able to go with Anne to her family's Thanksgiving dinner. From what you have shared in previous posts some members of her family have not always been very kind to Anne, so I'm sooooo glad you went with her yesterday, and I know she appreciates your faithful support and affection for her. I know your precious boys will "forgive" you and Anne for delaying their Thanksgiving celebration.

Have been working on the lap top today in preparation for taking it in to get W10 installed on it. I've removed some programs that I haven't used for a very long time that don't need to be transferred over to W10. I'm planning on taking it in next week for the upgrade. Scarlet is doing well today. She's very playful today and hasn't hissed at me today - - yet. She also slept with me throughout most of the night last night which was quite a blessing. And - - she hasn't had any screaming tantrums at sweet Buster if he's been outside around the condo - - so that's nice, too. Unfortunately with the much cooler and damp temps I'm not able to have the door open so that I can see if sweet Buster is here so that I can go outside to visit with him - - which is a bummer.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (44) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad to hear Scarlet seems to be settling in OK. Sorry to hear you could not keep the door open to check on Buster and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

We were going to get staples at Walmart today, but seeing as our Walmart is a superstore, we opted to wait until tomorrow for that dry.gif We used a Red Lobster coupon to have lunch, ran over to Petsmart to see the adoptable kitties which there were not many, but that's a good thing I guess. Then we just went to that Kroger to pick up a few things and came home.

Tang and Tyler are doing well. They have had their milk and I will put out treats and give Tang his shot later. I already put out the first round of food for the local waifs.

I hope you and Scarlet have had a good day and that you'll both have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy rainy chilly 40-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope you and Anne were able to get your errands done yesterday so that you can enjoy the rest of the weekend being home with your precious boys. I know they are enjoying the extra family quality time.

Not much happening here at the condo complex today. Scarlet is keeping me company while I get caught up on some emails and read a library book. Don't know when the mail was delivered yesterday evening but I'll wait until the mail is delivered today - - whenever that is - - to get all the mail.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the autumn temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy and cool (50) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Scarlet has been keeping you company and I hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK.

Not much going on here today either. We had some lunch and went out to the Peddler's Mall deeper into Okalona we hadn't been to in a while. It wasn't too crowded (the rain probably) and found a few DVDs for about a 1.00 or less each. We then went to the Walmart in that shopping center and came home to watch one of the movies (Flushed Away, a DreamWorks Animation film)

Tang and Tyler are doing OK. They have both had their milk and I will give them their treats and Tang his shot later. I already put out the first round of food for the local waifs and just saw Tyke. I'm sure Tabby and Socks are around though.

I hope you and Scarlet have had a good day and that you will both have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy drizzly cold 40-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you and Anne had a nice day yesterday and know that your precious boys are enjoying this extended weekend family time with you. I hope Anne is feeling better now, too.

Scarlet went home yesterday evening but not without protest of getting into her crate. When she wouldn't cooperate while my brother was here he left so that I could deal with her. I finally got ahold of her but she's very strong and clawed me on my right arm before I got her into her crate. I wish she could tell me what upsets her so about her crate so that I could do something to help her, but unfortunately the only way she has to protest is with her claws and teeth. So I've looked up animal handling equipment and found a pair of gloves on Amazon that I'll order to have on hand for the next time I need to get her into her crate. Sweet Buster hustled inside when he saw Scarlet leaving and is here with me now as I'm writing to you. I'm not sure where he is exactly but I know he's here somewhere. It's so nice to have his sweet company.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the transitioning autumn to winter temperatures. I hope you, your precious boys, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. Please know you, your precious boys, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (40) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry Scarlet gave you such a hard time going in her crate and I hope you will both be OK. I'm also glad Buster came by shortly after she went home and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

We went to the old place to feed the waifs, but I didn't see any. Anne says she feels better, but doesn't really sound like it. We then went to Dollar Tree and Kroger to round out the supply run. After that we came back here and watched an old movie I remembered from my childhood on You-Tube (the One and Only with Henry Winkler)

Tang and Tyler are doing OK and have had their milk. I'll get their treats and Tang's shot later. I also put the first round of food out for the local waifs. I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by you beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy gusty windy cold 40-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry Anne is still not feeling her best. She's in my thoughts and prayers that she'll be better soon. Sounds like you and Anne had a good day yesterday, and know your precious boys have enjoyed the extra family quality time.

Took my lap top in today for upgrading to W10, and the old W7 desk top to have the hard drive cleaned so that I can return it to Dell for recycling. When I got back sweet Buster was waiting for me at my door. He's been here several times today. He returned just a few minutes ago and is settled on my bed taking a nap as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (35) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Anne seems to have had a smidge of a relapse or it's just taking time for her to kick this. But I didn't trust her to drive and she's my ride, so there you go.

Tang and Tyler are doing OK. They have had their milk and will get their treats and Tang his shot later. I just put out the 2nd round of food for the local waifs after Socks and Tyke gobbled up the 1st one. I hope Tabby is out there somewhere for her fair share.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny blustery cold 40-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry Anne wasn't feeling well yesterday so that you both had to miss another day of work. I hope this isn't counted against you in your new job. I hope Anne is feeling better today. Please let us know how she's doing and how things go at work.

Have been busy today working on financials - - getting the checkbook updated with payments made, receipts ready for filing, etc.. Also did a load of laundry this morning and just finished putting things away. Sweet Buster has been by to visit and took a nap on my bed for awhile. He left about 15 minutes ago to do his afternoon neighborhood rounds. He may return later on.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang and sweet Tyler are doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, sweet Tyler, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable as the autumn temperatures transition to winter.
