Good Morning, Beachy!

[left that other site]

I don’t know why, but I was up all night. Probably got 2 hours sleep.

I haven’t figured out why...maybe something i ate?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

Just finished breakfast, vacuuming, and dishes. No snow yet; seeing freezing rain at the homestead.

Howz it out your way? Did you get the cold and rain?

[SandRat]

Did you set your cloxk ahead?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning LTOS ((HUGS))

LOL. Knowing y’all love me for more than my pictures makes my day.

Are you getting any nasty stuff down your way? The radar didn’t show anything, so I’m assuming you are having abundant sunshine? (jealous here)

Seeing freezing rain at the homestead; snow in DC.

Just finished breakfast, vacuuming, and dishes. Now FReeping and writing.

85F today.

Summer has arrived.

[E.G.C.]

We did get some freezing rain and sleet followed by snow. I would estimate we got a couple of inches.

Of course the schools are out again to today due to the roads and weather. I think we're going to warm up into the weekend though so all this snow and what have you will melt off very soon.

[luvie]

It had warmed up a bit, then another blue norther blew in late yesterday afternoon, bringing more ice and some snow. There is no snow on the ground this morning, but there is ice left. It should melt today or tomorrow.

Our company who drove down from Lubbock last night witnessed a rollover on the hwy that I take to work. There were many more accidents in the area. We never learn.....

[luvie]

No...it's not THIS bad here,
But it is only 26 degrees and we had ice overnight.
I think it'll be gone today...
....and meanwhile I wanna make soup!
My first chance this year to do it.
Beachy...looks like the graphics are back.
Anyhooooo....have a good day of leave
....and everyone else get ready for some weekend...
....coming soon!
((((hugs))))


Arrow....are you ready for some spring?

[E.G.C.]

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

[beachn4fun]

Good morning night owl ((HUGS))

It doesn’t look like that here, yet.

Not seeing a cardinal here but the Canadian geese and other birds are liking the weather.

[SandRat]

[luvie]

I always knew birds were dumb! :)

[beelzepug]

My privilege and thank you.

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well. We had a blue norther blow in yesterday, but it’s moving on today and will begin to warm up.

How cold did it get up there? Did you get snow/ice? Hope you and Bo have a GREAT weekend!...and can get to the lake!

[beachn4fun]

Yippppeee

Friday is coming

((HUGS)) SR

[E.G.C.]

We got a couple of inches of snow. Also some sleet and freezing rain. It got down into the upper teens.

[beachn4fun]

LOL.

I think I’d rather be a bear during the winter than a stupid bird. hehe

Kathy, They would not start my surgery without first seeing the person that was going to drive me home. Must be an insurance issue, people driving and car wrecks due to after surgery poor eye sight.

Looks like you have found a great place to perform your operation. Wishing you all the best, no pain, no discomfort and better eyesight.

Only get one eye done at a time, you need time to adjust to the “new” eyesight and time to get over all the eye drops and vision issues that can effect your eyes after the surgery. I did not have any issues, and I am sure you will not have any, however it is best to plan for the worst and expect the best.. one eye at a time :-)

If I could, I would volunteer to drive you, however we are totally blocked in with 5-6 inches of that white stuff “SNOW”. One more time, hey this is TN not Alaska!!!

I Fr e-mailed “PROCON” about his operation, did not hear back, so he must have been on the way to the “VA” for his operation. Hope everything went A OK with no issues.

Let us/me know how your surgery went.

((((HUGS)))
