90 miles up the coast is Arroyo Grande...I came to Alaska from there.

WOW! Diva! Long time, no see!! *Hugz*
Glad you popped by to say hello but wish you could’ve stayed. You’ve been missed. Hope all’s been well with you.

[LaDivaLoca]

Hi dear radu! Love my home, Arizona, for 11 years now. Been very busy with work, personal stuff, hiking, rock-climbing, Krav Maga classes and MCSO Posse volunteer and other volunteer events. Love it here. Beautiful state! HUGS and best regards! Need to go to sleep now - long day ahead tomorrow. Will try to drop by again soon. Take care!

Sounds like you’ve been busy and enjoying it. Glad things are going well for you.

Hope you get a chance to stop by again soon and can stay a little longer then. We’ll be watchin’ for ya! :-)

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...is it hot at your house?

We have lots of fires going on and one pretty good one close to town...folks that live on the hillside are really keeping a close watch.

It is HOT, but we are hoping for at least a little rain over the next few days.

You and Bo have a great Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

Thursday Morning Coffee Bump.

Yep, it's hot out there. Too hot to walk around. Riding out in the country with the AC on instead.

[MEG33]

Hoping you have a wonderful day
(((HUGS)))
*Thank You To All Who Serve Our Country*

[SkyDancer]

Hai, my Spanish tells me that Arroyo Grande means Big Ditch ...LOL. I want to see if I can get down to visit the Reagan library.

[luvie]

Mernin' Early Birds!
Is it safe to say....Friday's nearly here?!
Do y'all have plans?
Hope they involve lots of rest!
Happy Thursday!
I got to sleep in a bit so that was nice!
((((hugs))))

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well here. Still hot. What else is new! LOL

Did you and Bo get out to the lake yesterday? Hope so...I know he misses his turtles! :)

[E.G.C.]

Actually we just got back from the lake. I decided to do our trip this morning (1) because the pickup took several turns to start on one of the starts this morning and I needed to check and make sure it was running OK and (2) the forecast heat index here in Comanche OK is 104. 1 degree below Heat Advisory criteria.

So, that was our trip to the lake for today. We may do a ride in the country later today.

[HiJinx]

The local Indians called our mountains Huachuca, meaning Thunder Mountains. At least, that’s what they told us during orientation here at Ft. Huachuca.

They’re living up to that name right now. The thunder is a’rumblin’ and the mountains are getting dumped on. Hopefully, some of that will head out into the valley and get us wet, too.
