((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. Getting some rain and storms and wind here in SW OK. How’s it going for you this morning?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, EG ((HUGS))

All is well. We’re starting with sunshine, ending with rain. But it’s Thursday and the weekend is near.

How’s Bo liking the workers being around?

[E.G.C.]

Well, they've had to take a break due to the rain in the area. They will return to work as soon as the rain moves out.

The guys work outside while Bo and I are in the house.

[beachn4fun]

G’day SkyDancer.

Awww, dang, sorry to hear of them losing so many. May they Rest In Peace.

[beachn4fun]

The guys work outside while Bo and I are in the house.

Yeah, but does he bark the whole time they are out there? Our neighbor's dog barks at everything...for hours...when he's out.

[E.G.C.]

Well, fortunately i do keep Bo in the house but unfortunately the neighbors sometimes let their dogs out and they bark a lot.

That's why we're getting this fence built. So, Bo and I can have our yard back and live in peace.

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

[blackie]

Thanks Kathy!

[SoldierDad]

I have a prayer request. Yesterday my son was granted temporary custody of his 5 year old son. The mother was given weekend visitation. This all happened because the boy's mother had plans to move out of state with her white supremist and abusive boyfriend, taking my grandson with them. Plus, my grandson was being exposed to domestic violence at his mother's, as well as drug use.

The Judge's order is temporary. There will be another hearing in May. I ask for prayers that my son is granted full custody. I am also worried that the boy's mother will kidnap him and leave the state when he goes to her house for the weekend. Please offer prayers that Kaden remains safe and not taken away by his mother.

Thank you.
