YAY for that!!!!!! Hope she has a calm night so you can relax for a change. Sounds like you need it after the last three days.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, corbe...too true. It must be so hard for our dedicated troops.

The Canteen does its very best to honor our troops and vets.

[luvie]

Sorry you have the bum-back trick. I do if I vacuum. He does it for me....and that’s why only the centers of the floors are clean! LOL! I’ve learned not to worry about that! :)

[luvie]

Sounds like a good day for you and your son! :)

[radu]

You are so lucky he vacuums! Mine won’t do it but then I believe he was raised that the house is the woman’s responsibility. So our house gets vacuumed when I think my back can handle it and it doesn’t happen often as it should. Fortunately, only part is carpet and I can sweep the rest daily with no problem.

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first...The Mayor grabs the gold!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a close second....Mac snags the silver!!

[luvie]

Hubby was raised in that kind of household, too, but he also does his laundry and of course, bakes bread like a real chef!

I don’t think he likes hearing me whine. You might try it. ~~snicker~~

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Pro bags the bronze!!

[radu]

I’d forgotten about him baking bread. Drat! Now you made me hungry again. LOL!

Hubby does do his laundry and that’s fine with me. His clothes get greasy working in the garage and stuff. ergh!

He does all the mowing - - and there’s a LOT to mow - - so I don’t complain about him not doing house work. It’s a lot cooler in the house. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOOHOO!!! Slice and dice those libs!! Put them in their places!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Mac...*HUGS*...hope your trains are running on time and the air conditioning is working when you are on them. LOL!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))...have you come down from your vacation?

Did you go to Tuesday night pub night? Did your guitar miss you?

[luvie]

True dat. He might be wanting you to trade vacuuming for mowing. Not a good thing! LOL!

Anyhoooooo.....

WOOOHOOO!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...any flying coming up? Family fun for the weekend?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Always! We must remember them....their so called CiC doesn’t.

[luvie]

What CIC? They don’t HAVE a CIC. They have a MIC [moron in chief]. I feel so bad for them!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello again, radu...more heat wave again. It’s 80 at my desk. Possible sprinkles this weekend.

You still on for a little rain next week?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the fourth verse of The Star Spangled Banner.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes, they do have a MIC!!
