At least you’re getting a thaw after this round. But there’s still a lot of winter ahead. I wish you were able to find some young feller to help you shovel the snow.

LOL...is that ALL? Just to shovel snow?

Middle-Aged, Conservative, and Single would be nice!

[luvie]

No....it's not snowing here, Early Birds!
But I'm sure it is for some of you!
Hope everyone has a Thank-Goodness Thursday!
That means the weekend can't be far away!
((((hugs))))

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well here! Cool but not nasty. You and Bo take care during the weather pattern that seems to be developing in your neck of the woods!

I see that you got up at about the same time I went to sleep. LOL! We gotta stop not meeting like this! 😄

[HiJinx]

Nana and the FlyBoy both work at our local hospital, just like Taz did. They both said the full moon affected their clients yesterday.

[HiJinx]

Oh, you! Single and Conservative...in Massachusetts? You’re setting the bar pretty high, aren’t you?

[left that other site]

I ALWAYS do! LOL!

[luvie]

Boy, I’ll bet that’s right! Nutty, huh!
