Godspeed to Aart see you on the other side.

This! We will all follow sooner or later and until then we keep on missing them in our lives.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

One of Savannah's kids was on the coop roof at lock up. That was real fun getting her down in the dark.
And Savannah didn't kick them yet. The night they were all on the floor and she was roosted, they just hadn't figured out that she wanted them to come up there with her. The last two nights they've roosted with her with the exception of the little one on the roof.

This thread has a link to what is probably Aart's obituary. The dates and info all fit. Sigh.

RIP @aart. I am among many who will miss you. I learned a lot from you and feel you still had more to teach me.
Agree with others that this must surely be her.

There's no way that's not her. I suspected she had died but hoped I was wrong. This is very sad news
I've now hit 3 deaths of friends in the last week.
A friend I've known for over 2 decades killed himself last Thursday and I just learned today that my former neighbor passed away. Her funeral was today.

A hug for you.

I too have been having a week of loss. I had to choose between two services last Saturday and now reading this.
I remember my mother - maybe at roughly my current age - going through a period of depression because everyone she was close to was dying.
I begin to understand how she felt.

The little overachiever!

Good morning Cafe did bring more coffee.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

I've been awake since 3:15. I tried valiantly to fall back asleep but to no avail. So I got up at 4:00, stripped the bed and started laundry with my bedding. Then scrubbed my bathroom counters and sinks clean, fed the dogs, took care of the chickens and was out the door to go to Walmart by the time they opened at 6:00. I picked up some groceries, came home and brewed a pot.

Maybe I got insomnia because I ate so much garbage at the birthday party I went to yesterday. Or maybe it was because I had a little bit to drink. Not a lot, just a little, but enough to get a minor buzz. Which I danced off on the dance floor. I went with a friend of mine, N. She followed me to a mid point and we left my car in a parking lot about 3 miles from M's house. I've been buying her dog food off of her as I can fit it into my freezer so I thought I'd swing by after the party to get the last of it.

While we were sitting listening to the band I asked N if she planned to stay until 8:00 when the party was supposed to end. She said, "No, not that long maybe another hour or 2. How long do you plan on staying?"

"Well gee I guess as long as you are, you brought me here remember!!? Give me that drink! You've had enough."

Sounds like a good evening out. Thanks for the coffee.
