TDK Veteran's Weekend Roller Rink and Café

(37 posts)
  1. Piglet wanted to know what Veteran's Day was, so I told him that every year humans pay tribute to those people and animals, both living and over the Bridge, who protect us in war. He convinced me to extend Veteran's Day to Veteran's Weekend and move breakfast to the roller rink this morning. He's got all sorts of fun things ready at the snack bar; veterans, active military, and military families get free goodies. The retractable roof is officially closed for the season; it's just way too cold. The small rink, however, will be flooded and frozen to create a temporary ice skating surface until the ice skating annex is complete. I promise: no Christmas music yet (not until the day after Thanksgiving; I'm old-school like that), but Pumpkin will spin tunes at your request.

  3. I messed up and wound up double-posting again. The post with the larger number of responses is the "good" post.

  5. Morning, Deb & Vicki. Vicki, thanks for the cafe.

    I started a list this morning of things I need to do now that my job is going away. At least it gives me something to do.

  7. Good morning, all!! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm looking forward to an if not relaxing, then at least less busy weekend. Working 8 to 1 today and then dogsitting four dogs at one house till late tomorrow night.
    I secured the dog-walking gig for at least one more week next week, so I will be busy again. Because of that, I really wanted to go to IKEA and some thrift stores and get some stuff for the apartment this weekend. But get this - I finally got my new bank all set up, but now I have to wait for a credit card to come in the mail. At any other bank, I could just go withdraw the cash for the shopping expedition, but wouldn't you know, I just realized I picked a bank that's closed on Saturdays!!! Arrrrgh! (Of course I realized that yesterday, on Veteran's Day, when it was also closed so I couldn't get money).

  8. GD, I've been meaning to ask ever since I looked more closely at your gravatar: is that a doll your cats are cuddling?

  9. Good Morning! I was just thinking of the roller rink yesterday. The kitties knew it was a special day, and wanted to do something special this weekend. Their ice skates have come out of their storage spot; Leela is wearing a red shimmery dress, Comet is wearing blue overalls, and they're coming thru to skate for the day. Glad Pumpkin is feeling better. Whoosh!

  10. Vicki, it's Lambie :) It's a beanie baby lamb. When Bobby was a kitten and he wanted to bite and bunny kick, I used to give him "Dog", a dog beanie baby. So when I got Mi I figured I'd get him one, too - except he took to biting and wrestling with Bobby instead :)

  11. Leela is back skating at the rink now. I took her to the vet a little while ago. She was sneezy and had some discolored discharge in her nose. Poor thing had some nervous accidents; I was prepared with cleanup supplies. She got an ouchy shot. She yelled at me on the ride there, and grumbled, whined and growled during the visit. She forgave me shortly after we got home, though. Hopefully she will shake whatever is going on and we won't have to go back.

  12. Can I ask for TDK prayers for my brother, he had a heart attack this morning. Currently they have him on a ventilator in the ICU in a California hospital and awaiting tests to return.

  20. Evening all, popping in for a while before I head to bed.
    Reading backposts and checking above links.

  21. Evening Jan, wish I was heading off to sleep too....its been a long day.

    Posted 6 months ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  22. Yes, it will have been a long worrying day for you Deb. I wish it wasn't.
    Wow, the Mammoth Cave system is pretty amazing, so large.

    Posted 6 months ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  23. The cave looks like it would be fascinating to see. At least my brother is stable with meds in ICU, wish he would do better and recover but thats in the hands of time.

    Posted 6 months ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  24. Stable is good Deb and I do hope that time sees him improving. It is difficult having to sit and wait and not be able to do anything to help or comfort.

    Posted 6 months ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  25. Wow, I love the caves outside too, beautiful surroundings.

    Posted 6 months ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  26. Yes that part of the country is very green and pretty.

    Sitting here almost zoning out, its warm one minute and cold the next...

  27. I've just noticed what the time is, it's tomorrow already ! ! When did that happen? Time I headed for bed. Sorry to leave you Deb. Sleep well when your shift finishes and headbonks for The Crew.
    Nighty night
