Happy FReeper FRiday Beachie!

No plans yet on my end, just the usual R&R. I'm wanting go to the gun range and hone my skills a bit, and have some fun.

What's up with you and hubby? Got projects?

Nice weather continues in my area on the left coast and loving it.

Have a grandocious weekend!

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

I really need to hone my skills too. Maybe I’ll look into doing that when I have more time. Hope you get a chance to do that. Maybe you can find a shooting buddy to do this with.

Our morning temp was down in mid-50s, and yesterday was right chilly even though in low-70s. Today, we’ll be high-70s, and the weekend back into the mid-80s.

Just found out that we will have one of our granddaughters (young son’s) tonight (her daddy’s fiance’ has strep throat). Tomorrow, we may hang while her daddy and hubby go see Furious 7. Sunday, we’ll go shopping at Walmart and then young son is going to smoke ribs for dinner.

As for projects, next Saturday, I’m having my bedroom re-painted. It’s been 9 years since the last one, so I’m ready for change. However, bedroom is smallish and I’m wondering how much my painter needs us to take out. Maybe, I’ll take down pictures before then but wait on the furniture until he shows up. That twill be one thing off my “to do” list.

And next weekend is a 4-day weekend for me! Yes! I think I may hide out the whole time except for the paint job, of course.

Anyhoo, have a fabulicious FRiday, and a wonderfully, restful weekend.

Are you having a nice spring?

Got snow in the forecast for next week. I doubt it but if it does we will have another Spring this year. A cold spell is an opportunity to have spring again.

I cleaned closets last year...and donated the things I didn’t want any more. I was embarrassed at how many bags I gathered up! LOL!

I haven’t shopped since then. I’m totally over new clothes. I don’t want to go through that again. It took DAYS and WEEKS! Ack!

It's going OK. I did lose Bo for an hour out at the lake out in the bushes. Had to blow the whistle and yell his name out for all that time but was finally able to find him out on the lake road.

Getting ready for severe weather Tomorrow. This is the day 2 outlook
