Good morning and happy Saturday all!
Another bright and sunny day here.
My thoughts are with the people of Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire who still have the threat of the reservoir dam bursting and drowning their village.
They have just had to evacuate and leave everything, although I think they are each being given 15 mins today to go back today and collect things.
There are severe weather warnings in place for them tomorrow so their nightmare is ongoing - absolutely dreadful for them.
I'll add my prayers to EllieMay's prayers.

So Date night went wonderfully well.. we went to the El Dorado casino. Hubby won $500 on the black jack table and I managed to break even on the video poker and slot machines... We ate dinner at a very nice restaurant in the casino called “The Vintage” . The menus actually had lights inside them! I ordered a 8oz filet mignon with potatoes agrautin
and sautéed mushrooms. It was amazing! The kids did just fine and there were no horror stories when I got back home. I paid daughter well so I think she will be eager to send me off again... :)
Sounds like a wonderfully free night out!

Whew! I picked up a 25lb sack of Mazuri Aquatic Turtle Diet and separated it into individual, covered plastic tubs for the freezer. I washed my hands with Jergens Hand Soap. . . phew!. . . then vinegar water. . . and lastly lemon juice. My hands still smell fishy. Skunk would smell better!

I know what you mean. The snuff we have to endure...

My prayers are with the victims of the El Paso shooting. Hope no members or your family were involved.

I haven’t watched the news [emoji21] But I can imagine the horrors that families must be going through. There is just no reason in the world . No justification. Can’t be too many prayers either!

I got out the laurel and hardy box set yesterday from the garage, I started watching them when I was 8 with my dad. 8 years later I’m still laughing uncontrollably while watching them. Two comedy legends:D
Took me a minute to figure out what was a laurel and hardy box.o_O I had forgotten about those 2. Gonna have to YouTube some footage.

I don't know the answer either without getting to political. So I will keep praying.

I just don't get the mind set of those who feel they have to shoot into crowds of people. When I see these stories on the news I always watch to the end hoping there will be some sort of explanation, but it seems the stories are never finished.

Anyways on a lighter note! Good morning everyone!!!!!
I have been sitting here for a hr. watching Opo's morning ritual. He woke up with angry eyes but they have begun to soften. :)

Good morning Ray & Opo!
I have seen those angry eyes in a couple of my hard-back friends. Apparently, I was late with breakfast!!!

I have wished a thousand times that I had been born in a different era! I think I could easily thrive in the 1800’s [emoji16]
