Glad you are getting warm...We’ll have 80s highs all this week.
Had big thunderboomers early morning and some rain but thankfully no hail.

[radu]

Yeah, staying up that late when you have to get up early makes for a draggy day. You don’t need to be doing that to yourself, ya hear? LOL

Just another Wed. here. Grocery shopping day - a little for us and LOTS of cat food.

We had a storm blow by around 7 p.m. but the lightning wasn’t close enough to get any good shots. We did get some much-needed rain, though. KY had some rough weather but it wasn’t all that bad in TN.

Good evening, Meg, and thank you for the prayers for our all but forgotten (by their govt) troops all over the world. ((HUGS))

God Bless and protect them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pro!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

ML!!

[radu]

Well, apparently things were a little wilder in some parts of TN than I realized. Watching the Nashville news and the weather report is on now. No tornados but there was some wind damage here and there, including the town where I do my shopping. That’s the direction the lightning was earlier this evening. I guess I’ll see how bad it was tomorrow when I visit Hubby’s aunt at the nursing home as it’s in that town too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sand!!

[MEG33]

Amen, Kathy. It’s my pleasure.

Thank you always for this great thread.

[radu]

Mine?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Really enjoyed the music...playing in the background as I worked.

Now I’m home. Think I’ll play it again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my gosh, mountainlion...more snow? And lots of it!!

Stay safe!

Yes, some guys had more “fun” than others.

[PROCON]

Mine?

LOL, it looks like it!

Woo-Hoo radu #50!

[radu]

LOL! It snuck up FAST and that’s all I had time to type.

Distracted by my sweet storks in Hungary. Sun’s coming up over there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, puppypusher...((HUGS))...hope life is treating you well these days.

Is spring here to stay at your house?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Was she surprised? Everyone have a wonderful time with some great music?

[PROCON]

Just now checking out the Owl’s nest; looks like everybody is grown up and gone!

[luvie]

I’m glad the bad stuff missed you, and hope no one was injured wherever it did hit!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Mixers shipped yet?
