Hope you enjoyed the cruise, despite the 'canes. Sounds like it was a fun cruise. Which line did you use?
We were on the Carnival Legend out of Baltimore. Hoping to one day take a cruise out of Kat’s home port of Tampa.

Hello all on this Holiday Weekend, We just got back from our 20 days of Back 2 Back Cruising. Enjoyed Greenland (seen a cousin of Bear’s) then several new places in Canada and we were supposed to visit Bermuda but Idalia and Franklin made it impossible so. Bahamas again.
My Cornhuskers played on Thursday evening while we were at sea so it was difficult to listen to the game. It’s those last minute losses that hurt us.
RIP, Jimmy Buffett may you Rest in Peace and Find that One Particular Harbor and enjoy a Cheeseburger in Paradise! Sail on my friend!
Afternoon all, How’s about a tall Sweet Tea? My wife and I are packing to leave Friday. We’re flying to Baltimore for a couple of days before we leave on Sunday for a 14 day cruise to Greenland & Canada, then stay onboard for a 6 day cruise to Bermuda. It will be Labor Day weekend when we get back. I’ll wave as we sail pass you Bear & Ape. Take Care all as the ship’s Internet blocks access to “Adult” content. I’ll likely have a back log of stories to read.
Morning All, Thoughts and Prayers are with you Kat as you head north to help with your Granddaughter. It’s hard to believe that the other Grandparents are to busy. Dropping off your brother will be allow you one more personal time for you also.
A cup of Bertha’s Best Coffee for me before I head out to mow. We have only 5 days left to get things in order before we leave for 24 days. We will be doing a Back2Back cruise with extra travel days on each end. We’re going to Greenland and Canada and then Bermuda. It will be quite different climates as it’s Glaciers and then Pink Sand Beaches. Take Care all and love the Moody Blues also Carl!
Lion, I’m sorry that we sent you those bad storms from here in Nebraska. It had nothing to do with the smoke we’ve been getting from Kansas. But I’m glad that the tree didn’t damage the house.
Thank you for the reminder of National Ice Cream Day, My wife and I will have to finish off that container of Moose Trackers in the freezer.
A cup of Bertha’s Best please and a Cinnamon Sugar Twist if possible. Take Care and Stay Safe Everyone!
Morn’ All ,
Carl, Thank you for the Cinnamon Roll to go with my Yukon Blend Coffee. I’ve been busy these last few month’s working a project in NJ near Philly. It was different & strange for a Midwest guy being there. I’m behind on my reading and work around the house. But headed to Texas on Sunday for a week to see oldest Daughter, SIL and her family. Hope every one stays well. Take Care and Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Question
How many get a "wee twisted" when you heat up a slice of blackberry pie and this happens but fear not I motored thru and it gone now, my personal fav is vanilla bean with my fruit pies.
Yes, That does happen to I true believe you figured out how to make it taste better with the vanilla bean ice cream. ☃️
Morning all, I’ve been working remotely and reading some stories but haven’t been in for a morning of Bertha’s Best in a while. My morning project is out of the oven to share, it’s a Raspberry Butter Braid. We are expecting 12-18” of snow today here in Nebraska so Take Care and Stay Safe.
I’ve been busy working on the road on a Project since the 15th of October so I’m behind on reading and what’s been happening at Rump’s. A cup of Bertha’s Best before I head off to work on an Over night shift. The good news is that the ends in sight and hopefully I’ll be home in time for Thanksgiving (US version) and can put up the Christmas tree and outdoors displays. Take Care all and Kat sorry to see the you had to deal with a second hurricane. I understand as I’m in South Carolina working.

Hi Rumpies
I'm kinda excited. A new badge popped up on my profile - The Millionaire's Club badge. I asked Stormdog what it was and he said I had 1 million reads on my stories. 😊 I'm kinda tickled about it.
When I finish reading the Excellent “The Black Rabbit” series. It will get you started on the next million!

Am I the only one who thinks Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel is YUMMY?
and right now he's dripping wet and my imagination is churning and Kimmi is started to drip too... 😳
My wife just showed me a video where Jim C. was struck by a Palm Branch during a live update. She follows several Storm Chaser’s and her drool choices are Reed Timmer and Josh Morgerman (icyclone).

Morning Rumpies!
Welcome, Maverick
I read your profile and swear I'm a woman.
The only thing I wanna say is, "Where's the damn sweet stuff!!!??!!!" Kimmi's hangry!
Morning Kimmi, So do you need Cinnamon Buns? 😆 I still need to finish reading your Black Rabbit stories. It’s an interesting story during and time period.
Kat, thoughts and prayers are with you guys as “Ian” heads towards FL.
Just a cup of Bertha’s Best to start this fine fall morning.
Take Care and Be Safe all!
Good Morning, A cup of Bertha’s Best. To start my morning, any of the cinnamon buns left from yesterday? I need to find some private personal time to read Kat’s, Kimmi’s and other find Friends stories that have popped up. There is also that SS selection to read. So mow the yard after church and skip the football game’s should be my agenda. Take Care and Be Safe!
Good Morning, A cup of Big Bertha’s elixir to start the morning. As a follower and reader I’ve too noticed being timed out / logged out lately. Of course it happens as I’m looking to make my $.02 worth of comments. Also did the scoring go away? I only now have “Like” & “Favorite”? As I hope to finally submit my first story next month thank you for the suggestion on saving it to the cloud.
Safe travels Lion as we will Bear through it. Later…..
Good Morning All, It’s a cool rainy day just above where the Lion resides. I wish the KS wildcats well with their former Big Red QB. For me my blood & heart still is Huskers. Bear could you slip me a couple of those cinnamon pastries to go with the warm cup of Big Bertha’s Best?
My Condolences to those grieving the passing of the Queen. She will be missed and served with true Royal Class. It’s to bad her grandson is bashing the monarchy. Enough soapbox about that.
“God Save the Queen May she Rest In Peace”!
Evening all. A shot of something to help me sleep. My wife &I are watch two of the granddaughters (age 14 & 6) for 5 days/4 nights while our daughter and son-in-law are on a 20th Anniversary trip to NYC. It’s not a real problem but they wear out this old grandpa with their endless energy. Take Care and Be Safe.
I need time to start reading “In a New York Minute” by Techgoddess and Fuzzy Lions new Muse story and finish ChrisM’s Cupcake. Enough plugs for now. Good Night!

Thanks! That is very good advice. I spent some time tonight writing out what I want to say. Tomorrow I will go back over what I wrote and make sure to stick to my feelings. My brother has 6 siblings and only 2 of us take care of him. The others range from won’t take him at all to will only take him for a week or less and only if it’s convenient. My dad would be pissed if he were alive. But I gotta leave that part out too.
Kat, Kimmi’s does have a good point with the how difficult it will be. Good Luck on at least some additional help care for him.
P.S. Grace’s DJ arrival times well with your Grandson’s soon arrival. Take Care and Be Safe!
Good Morning all!
Bear - Thank you for the set up as usual if Carl doesn’t get there first. These Strawberry Rhubarb bars are delicious. Hope the weather is better at the condo.
We’ll make my coffee to go as I have a busy schedule this morning ( as he snicks another napkin wrapped bar into his pocket). Take Care and Be Safe everyone!

Hi Rumpies!
Safe travels to Kat and Bear!
I'm working from my sister's kitchen table today since my cat (Boo) decided to chew through my Internet cable yesterday. 😕 Boo's in my doghouse...
I'll take something sweet to go, please
Understand the situation Kimmi, Our Granddaughter was the “lucky” child to take the pet rabbit home for the weekend one time. While the rabbit was out of it’s cage it chewed through the cable and phone/internet cords. Thank goodness for cell phones.
I’ll take a cup of Bertha’s Best this fair morning. Tomorrow morning my annual physical with the Prostate check and all those other embarrassing things. Yes, I’m sure it’s not as bad as what women go through on theirs.
Safe travel to one and all and Take Care and Be Safe!
Good Morning one and Y’ll, Just stopped in for a cup of Bertha’s Best. Thank You Carl for starting her this morning.
Kimmi, I hope that you are feeling better today. Having to deal with pain does make it harder to get the rest you need. Know that we care about you and are hoping for a quick recovery.
Any Sugar Donuts left???

Kimmi, we are always here for you and you wonderful naughty bits be them Long or Quick they always hit the spot. Just saying
