Now I really did it :((

Good morning and happy FriYAY lovely ladies!!!

@marcy lol yes twinning again I am very sorry about all the issues you are experiencing and sending you so many healing wishes
OMG I hate those smoke detectors. Every now and then it goes off for no reason (Not always a low battery) and can be so irritating
Hope you slept better this past night. I slept very well. I feel well rested and that is saying something for me

LOVE that photo. Thank you for sharing XOXO

@canuk-gal sorry work has been exhausting but yay for being off now (I hope) and recuperating. Glad your DH got his golf game in..our weather has been challenging but we do what we can to make ti work. Went cycling yesterday and the rain held off whew, Happy FriYAY XOXO

@Austina thank you. And I know Montana is gorgeous> Incredible scenery. LOL on early starts. Believe it or not I used to be a night person until I did my residency at West Point and then stayed on for years there as faculty. I had to leave at 5AM to get to work by 7AM. And after that I became a morning person and could never switch back. But I love being awake early mornings and it is very peaceful and I get a lot done and then my day is free to enjoy. Speaking of which, enjoy the rest of your vacation XOXO

@Slickk happy first summer weekend...enjoy XOXO

@springerspaniel hope your week is going smoothly and you have a wonderful weekend...XOXO

Hello everyone else. We went cycling yesterday and despite high winds had a great ride. And despite the awful weather we have had all spring and summer so far we only 40 miles or so to 4,000 woohoo. No matter the crappy weather we do what we can to cycle. Today is iffy but we will see.



May your day be sweet and fruitful (((((Hugs)))))

We left from Billings, Montana this morning and headed to Devil’s somewhere this afternoon (sorry brain fog from tiredness ). We didn’t go on the hike to the top, it was extremely hot and steep. We went to Deadwood, wandered about and had an icecream, I had strawberry rhubarb cobbler, and Colin had Java chunk.

We’re now in Rapid City and will be exploring more tomorrow.

That’s all folks

And wishing you a very happy birthday sweet friend..wishing you good health and joy today and all the days to follow. All my love

We hit 4,000 miles in the middle of our ride yesterday woohoo which is no small feat given our weather

Good morning lovely ladies and happy big and small dog Sunday!

We enjoyed another beautiful cycling day yesterday and it was so much fun. I love cycling all day. I feel free and unencumbered for that time.

And as soon as we get back I spend a lot of time with Bobby hugging him and petting him and loving him. I feel his time with us is drawing near and I am very sad about that. I still cry over Tommy daily (yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of his death) and then of course start thinking about Francesca (6 year anniversary of her death was last week) and Fred and Butch, Buster, Billy and it does make my heart heavy. I take solace in the fact they were all rescues and we gave them the best life possible after rescuing them from the streets and rescue groups. But still. I wish so hard that our furry babies lived longer. Thanks for letting me share. I miss them so

Today looks to be another cycling day albeit warm and humid. Any day we can cycle is a good one.

Jimmy made a new batch of strawberry just for me and along with his amazing coffee ice cream I was in heaven...yummm
Greg really enjoys the cherry bourbon flavor and he had coffee too..yummmm




Last night Fresca and Pepsi hanging out in our, umm I mean their, backyard





And we were cat satiated inside too lol


Jasper




Oliver





Princess Gracie







And Jasper again






Jasper was laying on me at the beginning of the evening but then Princess Gracie came around and lunged at him all the while screaming for no apparent reason (she is incredibly jealous) and he ran off and she sat on my lap. And a few minutes later he came back and sat on Greg haha. And Oliver was between us the entire time. I always go back and forth upstairs to Bobby for half an hour at a time then back downstairs with the others and then back upstairs.All night I do this since Bobby remains separated from his siblings for good reason. I don't mind at all. Giving them all time, company and love is important and is our responsibility. Greg takes turns with me too so that takes some of the weight off


This morning Sasha, T (our newest addition named after Tommy because he looks like a younger version of him), Fresca, Pepsi, Kit Kat and Dr Pepper were all waiting for us. It's a lot of food we put out at 5AM. Lots and lots of wet and dry as a treat. I am so happy we can do this

@Slickk @canuk-gal @springerspaniel @marcy @Austina @Inked and all my friends here have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday. Enjoy. Be well. XOXO















May your Sunday be BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEautiful

Back from Gracie's topical med administration..never easy and never fun and I just got my Dupixent shot in my stomach (thanks to my DH) but oh my gosh I just remembered to share this for big and small dog Sunday...my friend's frenchie...she is a sweetheart She is a rescue too and she really is a doll

 

[Austina]

Hello lovelies

Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes @missy. We had a busy day yesterday, and had an evening visit to Mt Rushmore to see the lighting ceremony and did get back till 10.30pm.

Visited Crazy Horse monument today and back to Mt Rushmore to see it in daylight.

Farewell dinner tonight and fly home tomorrow- back to our lovely adjustable bed

Lovely to see all the kitties and wildlife @missy - we were good today - no ice cream for us.

HI:

NIRDI shout out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoying lovely weather......except for the torrential downpours in the late afternoon. I felt sorry for the new neighbours who held an outdoor wedding yesterday---the skies opened and BAM monsoon. Hope they all stayed dry in the tents! Doesn't looks like rain today. Cycled yesterday and today--very nice. DH had his new favorite thing--ice cream float/soda. I can't imagine the calories in that thing!!!! Not my cuppa.

Made a Greek salad and salt and pepper wings....and will have burgers for Sunday supper. Not to thrilling.

@Austina glad you are enjoying yourselves and I hope the vertigo is gone.

cheers--Sharon

Good morning girls and happy (how did you get here so fast)marvelous Monday!

@Austina sounds like a wonderful way to end your trip and safe travels! I know you will be happy to sleep in your comfy bed after a lovely and fun time away. A great way to spend your birthday week/weekend. I was surprised to see how many deer were around the past number of days. They are everywhere. I always feel sad knowing we drove them out of their land/home. I love seeing them in the park but not on the streets in neighborhoods..heart breaking. They are such sweet animals. Safe travels XOXO


@canuk-gal good morning. Glad you have been enjoying mostly good weather. Ours is warm again but any day we can cycle is a good day. Yesterday I think I sweated my body weight while cycling lol. I hate when we experience torrential downpours but hopefully that will take care of any water shortage issues. Dinner sounded lovely (((Hugs)))

@Slickk I got more supportive emails from a few other former members. It's funny how many might be reading who don't post and I greatly appreciate their (and of course your) support. Definitely one sided with who posts here and the way some try to silence a different persecuted is shameful. The only reason I stay is for you lovely ladies (though I would stay in touch no matter what) and also the fact that so many would love if I left. I will have to be banned because I won't give them the satisfaction. Also interesting how two mentioned in their emails they had done business with you know who and no longer would they. I do not care one way or another and would never interfere with someone's livelihood. Never. Hope you have a wonderful and marvelous Monday sweet friend XOXO

@springerspaniel hope you enjoyed a terrific weekend and all is well

@Inked hope you got to cycle this weekend and have fun plans for the week

Hello everyone else. Hope all is well. We cycled a good number of miles yesterday despite the heat and it was so much fun. At the end of the day we got sad news though. Our cycling buddy who was diagnosed with cancer 8 years ago died yesterday. Her son contacted us. We are very sad and will miss her. We used to see her every day we cycled and after she got sick she started walking instead of cycling due to balance issues from the chemo and radiation. We just saw her the beginning of June and then she got too sick to walk anymore and had to go into hospice and I last spoke with her a week ago. Greg and I are very sad. She was not old, (in her early 70s) and we will all miss her. RIP Y.

Life is short. That is why we each have to do our best to make the most of life. It is not easy but we do the best we can.


Leaving you with a few photos from yesterday. Enjoy a marvelous Monday lovely ladies XOXO

We saw Jimmy yesterday (he works so hard) and we chatted with him. He said business is good but not crazy and that is good.We all need ice cream. Right?




Princess Gracie is a little minx and she is sweet and sassy and full of personality. A difficult kitty but a love nonetheless




And my sweet niece who lives in Henderson...those eyes. She is a sweet sweet kid



Enjoy a lovely day girls. Be well. XOXO
