Howdy, PRO!
Did you get out to take care of errands and have soup and sammidges at the VFW? Or did you say the heck with it and stay in the warm and dry? :-)

Howdy, ML.
Hope you haven’t had to go outside with Penny too often in your crummy weather today. Just not fun to get out in that stuff, is it?

Well who can blame her? LOL!
It’s just a shame she HAS to go out there at some point here and there. Kinda hard to take care of business in those conditions.

A good day, thanks very much! Nasty weather here - temps in the 40's - high winds and rain. I sallied forth on several errands but curtailed my trip due to the winds. Also, I had to have John Man bring the Flag in due to the winds.

Good evening, Radu!

A good weekend, thanks. Other than venturing out to run errands and cooking dinner, not much to speak of.

Thank you, wonderful Kathy; me and all my family are fine.
We are in northeast Georgia, half-way between Atlanta and South Carolina.
Far south Georgia near the Florida line had 15 confirmed dead
from pre-dawn tornadoes on Sunday morning.
Prayers for their families.

Hiya radu!
I went out real early to do a bit of grocery shopping and then stopped off and brought breakfast home from a favorite Mom and Pop Cafe.
Stayed inside for the rest of the day mostly.
Wuz up your way? Anymore rain?

Hi yarddog....sounds like a good use of their minds and time.
And they must have done a good job. The stories they must have had when they got home about being in a POW camp. Probably not what they expected.
Thanks for sharing the story.
