@grapau27 Have a Happy Birthday. I could not think of a better card then Dani's DH made.

I will take the sangria and the soup.

Lovely wedding picture. Happy Anniversary!

Belt buckle!

We used to when it was cheaper and you could win good prizes. I won a nice sculpture. Now it is too expensive, there are not enough games, too many people play.

Had a fun day in Asheville today. This is where we are staying.

That is probably the Australian Possum. I have a knitted a few things with that wool and it is very nice.

Arrived in NC for our fun, fiber fest. Not a bad view from the back yard.

That is why we live in Florida! LOL

It is 38 this morning. Turned the heat on last night. Supposed to be 60s+ for the next couple of days so it will stay on until it gets back to the 70s on Friday.

@helen haywood I understand why you want to move. You will find a wonderful new home and someone else will have a lovely old home to enjoy. Don't stress about the cats. Cats sleep the majority of the day. Mine are up for about an hour and then nap. You can put them in good size carriers, they may fuss at first but should settle down and nap for the trip. We moved seven cats and 2 dogs 12 hours to our current home. The dogs were loose in the back with potty stops along the way. I had 4 of the cats in carriers and they were fine all day until the last hour when it had gotten dark and they all woke up. Then they started to complain a bit. Our really old cat had a dog crate with a small litter box and water. The first thing we did was set up litter boxes and water dishes for them and showed each one where everything was. Then we put out food. They spent a good amount of time walking each room. My husband had 3 with him and he had the one on the 10 second delay all the way to Houston (2.5 hours). Even he settled down eventually and took a nap.

Well that is not the way to start a vacation. Take care, take your meds and have a good time in your sexy sling.

I'm sorry, get well soon.

Rug weaving and the big looms are fascinating to me. Thank you for the article.

It is all things weaving, spinning (yarn), yarn and patterns. It is in 2 big buildings for the vendors. There are classes also. There will be llamas and probably an angora rabbit or two. We are going a day early to check out yarn and antique stores. There are 6 of us, we have a nice house rented and will take turns cooking dinner for the house. I am bringing pumpkin lasagna and snickerdoodles. After dinner we spend the evening knitting, showing off what we bought and talking about all manner of things.

You can add in that I will be going to North Carolina next week for a fiber festival. Good times!

Do you have a favorite yet? Cody shot to the top of my list last night. Are you watching Amazing Race Favorite there? I like the twins. I thought the whiny one should have left.

I just play slots and have come out about even over time.

Winstar in fun and Buc'ees is not to be missed. We got our squirrel feeder and a few items of decor there. Coffee is not bad either.

When we lived in Texas and my son was here in Florida I would drive the 12 hours in one day. Especially when driving home. On the way to Florida I might spend the night in Biloxi. The trick is to have a comfortable car with little road noise.

That is so hard to go through. My heart goes out to you. Take care.

Wow. Those are amazing. Some people are so creative.

All my cats are inside cats. We do have an enclosed pen for them to go outside. We have too many predators, plus roads to ever let them roam free.

Five hours won't be too long so I would not give them food or water until you get where you are going especially with the sedatives. They may be vocal and stressed at first but give them some time to see if they settle down and fall asleep. When we moved (12 hour drive) my husband had Storm in his truck. Storm talked until Houston (2.5 hours) when he fell asleep. I had the quiet cats until the last hour when they and dogs had all had enough and started complaining and getting restless.

That was traumatic. So glad you found him and he is safe back inside.
