having an odd night, keep having half a thought that Hubs is in the other room, and I should check on him. Haven't had that feeling in quite a while. Been 7 months now as of yesterday that he passed away. I imagine he IS there, spectoring around a bit.
2:07 am
rbud
no, 8 months... wow...
3:36 am
rbud
yay, done... had a little break helping distract new granddaughter while her mom dealt with a major diaper blowout... she's so cute, even when she's mad. Two weeks old now. Night all. ♥

We are going to have a rainy day here, but I do not see fog.
8:06 am

8:08 am

8:17 am
RoundBarn
scrabbler, still here? wondering if you got tyhe book.
8:18 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I did, RB! TY. I was going to send a TY card. I was surprised how big the book was and you are on Volume 4 now. You have a lot of history to tell.
8:21 am
RoundBarn
good--this is thanks enough, try reading some of the short pieces. They're not chronological. I've finally finished the last vol, we'll have an opening Nov 8 here. Will go to Nevada to see Rasta's two grandkids from France nest week.
8:22 am
Scrabbler
Enjoy your visit. You are a remarkable story-teller and preserver of history.
8:24 am
RoundBarn
it was still happening when I began it so it didn't seem like history. Now it is. The U of Wis wants all the farm records for their archives, also a lot on my mother. So that's the next job. Should clear out half this house!
8:25 am
Scrabbler
Wow, it will all be archived. Nice.
8:28 am
RoundBarn
I need to figure all the letters. They want the ton of orig photos, but I have to see they are all identified--and that the electronic ones we will have are also identified in some way. And what my kids may want to keep. Surely their generation, which is not often in the books. Daughter no 2 wg ho rarely plays scrabble did the art work. Rasta plays most days--I say hi to her. She can get every word. I quit at half.
8:29 am
Scrabbler
I see Rasta here often. I aim to pass halfway but sometimes I finish small grids.
8:30 am
RoundBarn
I mostly play to follow you and some of the other people!

Scrbs, did you hear Mr. Bich saw a bear on his hike Sat.
8:31 am
Scrabbler
Hi bichon.
8:32 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I saw that here yesterday. Amazing and scary encounter.
8:32 am
RoundBarn
I mostly lurk too but came out of hiding today to say something to scrabs--she's between me and our Vt place, when I frove, I'd go right past her--but wasn't playing babble then.
8:33 am
bichon
He was with a bunch of school kids
8:38 am
Scrabbler
I thought he was alone, bichon.

zoozzoom
Will also give you TR 6/21, TR 7/32 x 2
6:33 pm
Halahath
yeah, though why do you have the x2 there
6:33 pm
zoozzoom
Because there are two TR 7/32s
6:35 pm
carleekat
hi there zooz
6:35 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Carleekat :-) How have oyu been keeping?

Same as like the desert animal but one is a plural the other ends in a double consonant.
6:38 pm
Halahath
I have the double consonant and the plural of that
6:38 pm
zoozzoom
Very true, Carleekat, very true!
6:38 pm
Halahath
but the double consonant is 7/36
6:39 pm
carleekat
