Jimbo Posted October 9, 2022 #73803 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Took a few Pictures today/tonight when riding our Golf cart around up in the fields behind our house. This picture is from up on the hills behind our house toward the back of our house. Little further up and over the hills behind our house is a pond I fish in. This pond is fed from rain water that drains down off the mountain. This is one of the many tractors the farmer uses to bail up the straw/hay from the field. He actually got to cut it twice this year. Took this picture about 30 minutes ago just after dusk. You can see some of those mountains over to the right. That is South of us toward North Carolina. The house you see in the picture on the other side of the lot that is for sale right next to us. you can see our house and My pickup truck under the green leafed tree in the lower right corner of the picture.

Opinionated and stubborn maybe, strong maybe, even a hard yes, but not mean.

akcruz Posted October 10, 2022 #73808 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Been travelling the last few days so catching up again. Still have family in the NJ/PA area so nice to have our lake house to be able to stay at. Was up there last week in the raining, cold weather. Stopped at DDs house in Virginia on the way back to visit with the grandkids, now back. The weather didn't cooperate for fall foliage but here is a pic from before we left, sun was so bright obscured the whole picture, had to use the tree. Had to pull out the coats for this trip. Now back in the warmth, definitely a warm weather girl. @dani negreanu. Happy Birthday to your grandson, great picture.

Wanted to read it again…I may have a long drive with two 🙀🙀 My trip down to Houston started end of July or more specifically, post# 67,222 which can be found on page # 2689. I was there for almost 2 weeks and posted randomly. But I’m pretty sure you are interested on the Cat-trip back. It was post# 68,297 (page 2732) where I introduced Leonard the Cat to Dani’s thread. Post #68,314 (page 2733) is where I asked for advice on long distance travel and received some excellent feedback in the following pages. That would have been August 9th. The road trip back was over 3 days. I’ll let you take it from there.🙂 The first hour or three, he was not happy. Howled a lot. We kept him in the pet carrier in the back seat & my step daughter sat back there with him. After several hours, he settled in nicely. Stayed in the pet carrier the whole time even though it was wide open & he could've wandered all over the inside of the car. And good luck! How long of a drive? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent the wrong message to his team by not starting deGrom in the first game and taking control of the series. He was telling his team not to worry about the Padres, we are just worrying about gearing up for the Dodgers series in the next round. That could turn out into a huge mistake! Now Buck just walked on to the field starting *****, this is BS. OMG, checking the Musgrove's ears........how crazy. Buck is a Joke !

Except when I'm skiing & it's cloudy, windy and single digit temperatures. Or if I'm clearing the driveway during a blizzard . But I haven't skied in 10 years and now I wait until the snow has stopped falling before snowplowing/shoveling so, yeah, I never cover my nose. 🙂 +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the Umpires decision to check the ears.If Buck believes that Musgrove was using an illegal substance he had the right to play the rest of the game under protest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to take my cat to the beach (similar length drive) when I was in my teens…I remember she just curled up on my lap. I have no idea what I did when I got where I was going since I didn’t have a carrier. When you’re young you don’t worry about as many things as we adults do. I adopted these cats to help me thru lockdown…I thought that was bad…then I lost all my family the next year and they got me through that as well. I need to do my best for them. When I took them to the vet this year Minnie was so frantic she ripped three claws off clawing at the metal grid of her carrier. So I bought a soft sided one. I plan on sedatives…and my husband in the back seat to let them out if necessary. It’s possible, as I remember from your posts, that they’ll just go to sleep if they’re out and with one of us. I will go back and read what you wrote and thank you so much for giving me the page/post information! 😸 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our oldest DD is up from PA by herself. She has work meetings in RI all week, her employer’s corporate office is here. All three DD’s ran a half marathon this morning in Newport. As we were crossing the Newport Bridge on our way to cheer them on near the finish line, I spotted this in Newport Harbor. I think it’s Princess ship? Also a picture of my girls (and youngest GDD). And here’s one for @Ocean Boy, the little lighthouse off the Jamestown Bridge. You have a beautiful family🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
