Hi Norma, glad to be able to get in here. Think I'll sit by the fire and have a cup of coffee. It's a bit chilly, but only because I won't turn on the heat. So how are you? I do hope your sky is as beautiful as ours is here. It has been a gorgeous day. No rain. I saw Donald was running over people getting to that chocolate cake. That was funny. I guess Donald didn't expect you to tell everybody. Please tell Donald to save me one piece. I love chocolate cake.
Donald M. Nov 5, 2009, 4:26pm EST
O Lynn, you may not believe this. Donald HIDE some fudge he made yesterday. I am not telling you where either. You will eat it and blame it on me.
Marge H. Nov 5, 2009, 4:36pm EST
I'm going to sit beside Lynn at the fire, if she doesn't mind. I am chilled too. I'll have to see if I can find what she is talking about with Donald and the chocolate cake. But first, I am going to warm up with a cup of cocoa.

fudge! My favourite.

I'm in the car on the way home ...and very happy about it too. Next weekend there is a conference I'll need to stay for - so will have to make the most of this one.

Hello Norma. I hope to do some baking tomorrow. Maybe some homemade bread or cinnamon rolls. Haven't made either in a long time.
Elsie Duggan Nov 5, 2009, 7:14pm EST
Hi Norma, it all sounds good to me, hope you are taking it easy, is that a new icon you have up? If so, looks like you are comfortable, love you, Elsie

Hi Norma and Everyone!

That warm fire sure feels good but I can't stay long as I will be burning up soon...you see it is going to be in the mid to high seventies for the next five days as it has been for the past five! Too warm for this time of the year...I hate it! Why don't you send us some of that coldness down here? :)

Everyone have a great day and a wondrful weekend!
Curt L. Nov 6, 2009, 12:33pm EST
I'll talk with Boreas and see if he'll help you out, Esther. :-)
XO
Marge H. Nov 6, 2009, 4:39pm EST
Or you could just send some of that warmer weather our way, Esther. I would love a mild winter again. We've had too many bitter cold ones in a row now.
Donald M. Nov 7, 2009, 11:59pm EST
Esther aren't you from Texas too?
☀ Aunt Shanny Nov 6, 2009, 1:13pm EST

Cortney R. Nov 7, 2009, 12:57pm EST
I just figured I would stop by and say hi to everyone.
Donald M. Nov 7, 2009, 4:59pm EST
Courtney, welcome to the cafe. Come by and relax and visit us anytime. We have a lot of very nice people who come in the cafe. Sometimes they sit and talk with each other, sometimes everyone visits the new customers.

Sheila Deeth Nov 9, 2009, 11:47pm EST
I'm late. Hope there's still some coffee left. How did life get so busy?

And here it's rain and rain and more rain and gray and wet. Nice to imagine coffee where the sun's a little brighter.
Donald M. Nov 10, 2009, 12:25am EST
We had a great day weather wise, But my day was get up, get thru breakfast and medication, ,,,then hop in shower. not much time to gget hair dry, .so Ihad to use my blow dryer. Dr said no, after my surgery, but this was an emergency
I was 15 minutes late, I dont think they even noticed.
lynn a. Nov 10, 2009, 12:21am EST
Hi Norma. Hope the day has been a good one for you. Beautiful day here again today. It was so pretty I cut the front yard. Might not have to cut it again til Thanksgiving. But that's a good way to grind up those falling leaves, and boy are they falling. Norma, the Dogwood is losing it's leaves a lot quicker this year than in years past.

Haven't had a chance to watch the weather tonight. Are you getting or anticipating any rain from Ida?
Donald M. Nov 11, 2009, 12:43pm EST
Right now I don't know. It takes me so long to go through my nightly routine, I didn't watch the news. I just wanted to go to bed. Didn't even watch TV.
Donald M. Nov 11, 2009, 12:46pm EST
All week has really been pretty. They have been predicting rain.
Barbara B. Nov 11, 2009, 12:36pm EST
You sure do have lots of great comments my dear friend Norma.

Hugs N Love, Barbie
Donald M. Nov 11, 2009, 12:48pm EST
Hi Barbara.
Wilma M. Nov 20, 2009, 11:19am EST
Hi, Norma. Just dropping by to leave you a comment. It's another chilly, gray day here but it's not raining at the moment. The kids only have 3 1/2 hrs of school today. Tonight, Ray, Jacob and Caty are going to a local grocery store to work on a turkey donation drive. Last wk Jacob and Caty got to be on the news as part of the promotion. While they are doing that, my daughter and Liam are going out to dinner as a special time for the two of them.
Donald M. Nov 20, 2009, 12:24pm EST
I think that is so nice. They need that time, now and then alone.
