[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is your weather? Hope you and Penny are safe and warm and you do have electricity.

Ours is horrid. They are saying ice everywhere. I’m going to go tiptoe home now.

[luvie]

Always remember them....

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Another storm has hit.
Started early afternoon.
Another 12 to 18 inches expected.
*sigh*

[Soaring Feather]

A little poetry

The bayou misty and cold
holds secrets from centuries old
covered in mold

The dance of moonlight across the bay
and sounds of the night
surrounds the two
walking hand in hand
lost in their time

The swells wafting up
from the depths so still
the spell to be broken
by a soft quiet voice
be my one and only choice
this night and
on this green earth
you are the worth of all
my dreams
let no one wonder
this night nay not one
tis now and forever
we two are one.

Yikes! Hope you don’t lose power and that you get to stay home till the all-clear has been given!

I know you have to be OVER winter by now! LOL!

[left that other site]

It got up to 40 today, which started to melt the snow.

Just in time for the new storm predicted this weekend. I REALLY hope it doesn’t amount to much! The days are getting longer! Spring is only a few weeks away!

Huzzah!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*pausing my head banging*

“I know you have to be OVER winter by now!”
Ya think?

*resuming head banging*

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I’ve been out of the loop for awhile, so I don’t know what has happened.
I do hope you will prevail, and will pray for you tonight!

[luvie]

Ouch! Now, stop that! LOL! Maybe it won’t be as bad as they’re saying. How much so far? Not that you want to go out and measure it!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*seeing stars*
Hmmm?
There is about 6 more inches out there right now..

[luvie]

Better get back to the head banging! :)

Hope no tree branches fall near the house! I always worry about that when you have a storm like this!

[Kathy in Alaska]

We have more snow coming, too. But I noticed tonight that it was still light when I left to come home. WOOHOO!!

Sunrise 8:37a
Sunset 5:50p

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no...more snow!! Do you have to go out? I hope that if you do, you don’t have to go very far. ((HUGS))

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
Hiya Ma!
No, I don’t have to go out, luckily!
I will be housebound till Mr B gets home though!
He only has to drive about 7 miles to work, thank God!
I’m glad it’s so close so he doesn’t have to fight the storm very much!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Maudeen, and thank you for the wonderful words for our troops and veterans.

We thank your parents for their service to our country.

[luvie]

I hope you hear good news in the morning so they don’t keep you waiting all day! We’ll be thinking of you.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. How's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very nice...you have the touch. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.
