((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well here. Just hanging out before having to go back to work tomorrow. It was kind of a nice vacation at home.

Hope you and Bo have a great afternoon. Has it warmed up so y’all can go to the lake?

We’re going to do some outside stuff shortly. I think it’s supposed to reach the 70’s this weekend.

[luvie]

70s will be nice! Hope y’all have fun and there’s not too much wind. :)

My apologies, Blue!!!!!

Hope you had a good visit.

It went well. I bought my little sister, who brought a clipboard and a measuring tape. We found some issues that needed to be addressed...nothing major, but we made a good team. Even if we aren’t licensed home inspectors.

We don’t need no steenking badges!

Blue will like her new shed, but for long winters, my brother has offered his heated garage.
