Greetings to all at the Canteen!

Howdy, Kathy.

Paychecks get printed on time? Few hassles this week?

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor! *Hugz*

Did y’all have a fabulous time at the wedding and visiting your uncle?

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

How are things your way? Still sweltering or did it cool off a little again?

[PROCON]

WOO-HOO, hiya radu!

Cooled off here a bit but more mid-90's this weekend.

Son came over today and we ate and hung out, nothing much else happening.

Howz things your way?

Kittehs behavin'?

[SandRat]

The thermometer says a Little,Still Feels like I'm in Satan's Golf Course.

[mylife]

It is the hot time of year there.

[radu]

Yuck! Too hot! Hope you’ve gotten your shopping done while it’s cool.
It would be hot here this week if not for the tropical storm over the Gulf. We’ve been under its clouds for two days and that kept the temps comfy enough. Our first rain from it should be here in a few hours.

Kittehs are doing well. Two had to go to the vet today for shots. The kittens have decided “Grammy” doesn’t really need to sleep much any more. LOL! They wake me up a few times every day with their romping across the bed .... and my body. I knew it was coming. *sigh*

Remembering our troops...

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

We had a great time in NJ - hobnobbed with family, etc. The wedding reception was sumptuous - I shudder to think of how much it cost.

We had a good visit with my Aunt and Uncle. We caught up on things and traded a lot of information on family history.

The only thing negative I can say about the trip is that driving in NJ is not for the faint of heart - just wow!

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

[radu]

Awesome! Glad it was such a fun trip.
learning a little more about your family history was a plus.

I’ve been on the Jersey Turnpike once in my life - - back in ‘71 - - and haven’t forgotten it! Good thing I wasn’t driving because I AM faint of heart when it comes to that insanity. LOL!
Glad you made it there and back unscathed.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV!

How was your day? Nice and lazy, the way it should be? :-)
