tsk - Adorable kitty pic this am

I woke up this morning to wonder what that white line was on my deck funiture...stepped outside to get a better view and just now was pummeled once again with graupel.
The graupel on my chair must have accumulated overnight.

This is a thorough and easy read to what it is. Got some on and off yesterday as well.

I'm still surprised when I find long term residents of MN not even knowing what it is, so herehttps://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/00-big-turkey-624x832.jpg goes:

Can't wait for spring, LOL

I don't believe I ever heard that you were part of our extended IL group, karen.  I  was west side of the city, Midway Airport neighborhood.  Live way west of city now 50 years, DuPage county, Darien.

Ever in the area any more?  Maybe the 3 of us could have lunch?  Maybe anyone else around?

Good Morning Beakers...Happy Caturday!


tig - Green tea and honey, yum...love it!

tsk - Joe's massive headache and swelling sounds like the symptoms that Jeff's step-sister had when they had to operate on her.  She had a brain aneurysm.   Continued prayers for Joe!  Hope you had a great time yesterday in Oak Park visiting.

Phyl - Love the good night pic. 

Lani, E4E, karen, Puff, and all - Morning  :)

We are headed to Jeff's Dad's house for a lunch/dinner.  We are having his 87th birthday party today.

Happy Birthday to Jeffs Dad!    He, Clynns mother and I could form an old agers club!  Lol. Wished for all of us!

Tsk, I hope there has been a treatment or medication to ease Joes pain!  Wow!  Hope he is off the catheter but do not think they are that difficult to manage. Excellent Cancer treatment  facilities in his area!

The forecasted high of 91 has  been  down graded a few degrees to
the  high 80s!

Safe travels to  Clynn today and welcome  home !
NR  was thinking about you and the nest. Yesterday!  Good to see you!

I expect that the garden center will be very busy this weekend - cool temps - 50 today and 60 tomorrow - and rain Mon. night.  Glad it is my weekend off...

Awoke feeling off but better now.

Old guy... YUM !!! Good luck tonight.
We are going to try our first deep dish pizza tonight... since our first when we visited Chicago many years ago. Visiting our new favorite family restaurant that has been around for 40 years... the one with the Pink Panther decor. LOL.

Watching the Timberwolves. WooHoo!

T40    LOLOL  Rock Paper scissors

OLDGUY   Taco cat - cool. :)   Weekend off - Am sure there was a to do list to take up that time  LOL  Cards tonight with a banquet before - what a dinner. :o    I always wondered if the macaques ever became a problem when she let the cats outside??   Liked the music in the Iceland volcano piece.

TIG   I like deep dish but Tim is not a big fan.  He likes thin crust!  Let us know how it was.  ;)

Hopefully Joe got home this afternoon.  They were waiting for the social worker to set up home care before discharge.
