Must retire for the evening -

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Nite, Conor! (((hugs)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

And such good napping spots. I’m sure G-Ma and G-Pa didn’t mind a bit.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Spring came very early this year. All the snow is mostly gone all over the city and the lawn is getting a tinge of green.

The roads are kicking up LOTS of dust. It’s 2 months early, but it’s almost time for the water trucks and street sweepers.

[SandRat]

Nope. Not a bit.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Miss you, Poppa....thanks, Mac.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

My desk isn’t quite that bad. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Our heroes doing all sorts of jobs, in all sorts of settings, and all over the world.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks...I’m ready to get it done. One of the guys at work, who just happened to get his eyes done a year ago, at the same place, said he would take me. If it has to be a Wednesday, I will probably take him up on it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Pro...I stumbled into that one.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

Early Spring is a good thing. I don’t understand why liberals complain about global warming. That’s like complaining about unicorns, or a leprechaun’s pot of gold. Bring it on!
