  1. Good morning, everyone, the cafe is subdued today as we think about Terri, whom we've so recently lost, and her husband, John, to whom we send our love and strength. The kitties have been snuggling and talking together and have just announced they want us to send Sox's Mom all their love for her surgery today, so we will add it to our own love and wrap her up in it like a big warm quilt. All kinds of food and hot and cold drinks are available as we remember the lovely spreads Terri laid out for us in John's Cafe. Come on in and chat.

  2. hi jcat. Thanks for opening the cafe. I have been busy with the girls this morning since they got up at 6:30!
    I am sending SM many prayers, hugs and strength today and to John who needs our love and strength more than ever.
    So far I haven't cried so that's a good thing. My eyes were so swollen and stung yesterday.

  3. Good evening Jcat(6 minutes until morning). Just a brief stop in for me, I'll have a hot chocolate with a dash of what warms me in it, and a wee ginger kitty to cuddle with and keep me warm. It's cold here tonight after a cold windy day.
    How was your long weekend, were you passed over in the Queen's Birthday Honours list as I was, again?

  5. No worries, CM. Gosh, Miss Maddie and little Miss Abbie got up early this morning :)

    It's hard not to cry about Terri, and I didn't know her very well but I know she was a lovely person. You must be feeling the loss more than most of us, she loved your girls so much :)

  6. Good morning everyone! My prayers are with SM as well as the rest of our family. Cm, I know what you mean about the eyes. The girls were up early today. Hi, Ms and Jcat. I'll have some wonderful Florida Oj this morning in memory of Terri and hope that John is ok this morning. Everyone have a good day.

  7. Good morning *in a quiet voice*. I was shocked to see that Terri has left us. She was such a mainstay with TDK. She will be missed so much. My prayers to John
    Just orange juice for me at the cafe today and a raised glass in memory of Terri.

  8. Good evening/morning CM, Deb(stuffyhead) & Lynn. Having trouble with getting the pages to load so I'll be heading off to bed very soon. I'll be thinking about SM when I wake up, she'll probably have had her surgery by then.

  9. *Pours beautiful fresh-squeezed Florida orange juice for Lynn and froths up the milk for a yummy hot chocolate for MS, with a little something poured from a silver hip flask hidden underneath the Cafe counter for warming purposes.* There you go, ladies. Good morning, Deb, sorry to hear about your head, can I pass you something for your poor head?

    MS, I was indeed passed over in the Queen's Birthday Honours list again, they are obviously not inclined to recognise our very special skills (what are they again?)

    I had an embarrassing day, it was so cold, I pulled a jersey over my PJs and a dressing gown over that and decided to stay snuggled up like that all day -- typical that this should be the day a friend from Wellington and her new boyfriend should come to call. I looked a picture! (we won't even go into what the house looked like...)

  10. Good morning, Ladykat, I think we are all still in shock and very very sad. I hadn't realised that Terri was only about my age.

    "Pours an orange juice for LK.* Raises a glass with her for Terri and for John.

  11. ROTFL Jcat. I can guarantee if I did that the same thing would happen too. Murphy's Law can be a s**t at times. Ummmm, I'm not sure how you would class our special skills but that could be why we keep getting passed over.
    Deb, try some of what I have in my hot chocolate, it might unstuff your head.
    Ladykat, you snuck in while I was typing, Hi.

  12. I know, MS, what are the chances that on the coldest day of the year, with snow warnings on the roads and the police warning motorists not to travel if they don't have to, that this adventurous pair should decide to cross the Rimutakas and do a quick Tikky-tour of the provinces? They were going on to Palmerston North to do a circuit back down the Kapiti Coast -- I hope they are home by now!

  13. Hi LK, Deb, MS and Lynn..
    Trying to make some breakfast for me. I am so hungry. Didn't eat much yesterday...

    Posted 9 months ago by cricketsmama #

  14. The cold is really getting to me now so I am headed off to bed. Shadz is asleep in her basket by the fire, at least until the cold forces he upstairs and into our bed around 4am. Good night/morning to you all.
    Good night & farewell to Terri, may the kitties over the Bridge keep you smiling.

  15. Please eat today, CM, it is a cliche but you need to keep your strength up for the circus :) you are the chief ringmaster!

    Goodnight, MS, snuggle up with your loved ones and keep warm. See you tomorrow, on the flipside.

  16. Morning, Ladykat, CM, and Lynn.

    Evening MS & jcat, hope it warms up for you both just a tad. MS, I wish I could find something to unstuff my head, tried allegedly 'hot' chinese peppers the other day and they did nothing, sigh.

    Posted 9 months ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  17. Deb, I guess you've tried wasabi...?

    Posted 9 months ago by jcat #

  18. night MS! Sleep tight. I am eating jcat..I AM the chief ringmaster..I should buy me a hat for the job..

    Posted 9 months ago by cricketsmama #

  19. You should, CM, a lovely tall hat and a beautiful spangly jacket, but you are much too nice to carry a whip... ;-)

    Posted 9 months ago by jcat #

  20. well at least in public :D

    Posted 9 months ago by cricketsmama #

  21. *passed over in the Queen's honor list*.... you guys crack me up!... Jcat, what WAS the Queen thinking???!!!???.... one of your unique talents??!!??

    ... good morning all!......Monday - yuck!.... that means cleaning and tackling a mound of paper work!..... Daugher is graduated, and gone to orientation for summer quarter in college, which starts in 3 weeks...... I guess Hubbs and I really ARE empty-nesters now! :(

    .... prayers and healing white lights for SM today!......does someone have a way to keep in touch with her, so we know how the surgery goes?

    Posted 9 months ago by AV #

  22. Ooh, that was naughty!

    AV, you sneaked in! I meant CM was being naughty, not you. Although... you're not actually asking me to identify one of my special talents, are you?

    What are you going to do with all your spare time now you're an 'empty nester'?

    I wish Sox's Mom had let us know something, we're not even sure what hospital she's going to. I am worried about her, not having her family there.

  24. Hi, Joan, how are you and Leela today?

    Posted 9 months ago by jcat #

  25. I think my invite got lost in the mail..I am sure the queen would invite me...
    Hi AV...I don't know how we can find out about SM. I am worried about her. Hubby and daughter are gone.

    Posted 9 months ago by cricketsmama #

  26. Hi Joan :)

    Posted 9 months ago by cricketsmama #

  27. LOL!.....CM might be "naughty" with that whip, but well, let's just say, "empty nesters" are begining to remember how much fun naughty can be!!! LOL ..... ;)

    Posted 9 months ago by AV #

  28. I know CM, I was distressed to read her post yesturday that she had planned this while Daughter and Hubbs were out of town!.... I was hoping she had given at least one of our TDKers a contact number so we could check in!.....

    Posted 9 months ago by AV #

  29. You ARE being naughty as well, AV, I knew it...

    Posted 9 months ago by jcat #
