Hi radu!

Good day, I mowed early and then got a surprise when son came over for lunch and hanging out time. We had pizza and BS'ed and played video games for awhile.

Feeling pretty good, how wuz your Wednesday?

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Good day at work? Sell a lot of pretties?

[radu]

Aaaaah, an evening to kick back and relax.

[luvie]

Hi, there, radu!!

I didn’t work today, so no pretties, but I did get some stuff done around here that needed doing. Have a LOT more that needs it. Do I REALLY wanna retire??? LOL! Then I’ll have no excuses. :)

[radu]

WOOHOO! Sounds like you’re feeling chipper again! Glad things are going well.

Things are ok here. Too durn hot to do much outside so it’s been a putter around the house week. Boring but at least it’s cool. Cool is important! LOL

[radu]

Aaaaawright! Fun time with your son! That was a cool surprise to get.
Glad you’re feeling good today.

Typical Wed. here. Did the grocery shopping. yeeha. Would have done it tonight when it’s cooler but was out of cat food. Horrors!

[luvie]

...till they all come home....

[left that other site]

Ahhhhhhh...Yes! :-)

[radu]

AH! A day off. Sounds like it was a busy one.

Even when you do retire, you can ALWAYS come up with excuses. LOL

[luvie]

I’m gonna start a list of plausible ones. LOL!

However...my hubby makes no excuses for HIS “rest” so maybe I won’t have to.

Anyhow he mowed and edged the lawn today so he worked way harder than I did. Looks sooo pretty now!

[corbe]

I felt sorry for myself cause I had no ‘shoes’ (Serving under carter), till I met a man with no feet(serving under obummer).

Thank you Kathy for spreading the love around.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m home...she will call when she’s ready to switch to her chair and go outside and take care of her petunias. She said today has been really good. Hurrah!!

[radu]

Hey, since he makes none, you shouldn’t have to either! LOL

I have a legitimate one but it’s one I prefer not to have to use - - my bum back. I’d much rather be able to get things done than to hurt ANY day. Fortunately, the back behaves well enough most of the time.
