I am hitting the sack early tonight...big day tomorrow.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!

[luvie]

Howdy, radu! Didn’t see you sneak in here! LOL! I was on another tab watching an old tv show.

It’s a very quiet night everywhere tonight, it seems! Did you get any more rain today?

We went from heater this morning and 68 degrees, to AC this afternoon and nearly 90 degrees. My head spins!

[Kathy in Alaska]

"...because i actually WALK with her, rather than standing around.

And we know that you are the Alpha. Makes walking with a friend fun.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV!

I snuck in after the Survivor finale was over. LOL! Then it dawned on me I hadn’t played with the kittens all night and I went to do that. Boy, did they holler when they heard me enter the room! They wanted to play NOW.

Wow, that was a big temperature swing y’all had today! Been chilly here all day with rain on and off. Raining lightly right now. It’s supposed to warm back up tomorrow and we’ll have 80s through the weekend. We’ll have rain, too, and need it though it’ll put a damper on plans some folks have for the weekend.

[luvie]

I’ll bet they were definitely ready for some attention, even though flea removal might not be the most fun part! :)

Be happy y’all will have 80s and not 90s. Of course, with your humidity, it’ll pretty much even out. LOL!

[radu]

No, they aren’t all that happy about the flea comb but once that’s done, I get them all out on the bed to play and they love that. I have to keep a close eye on them because they keep heading for the edge of the bed and they don’t need to fall off.

Yeah, that darn humidity makes it uncomfortable when the temps go up. They’re talking upper 80s Sat. with a high rain chance so it’ll be a good day to stay in and get a little housecleaning taken care of. :-)

[luvie]

Ugh! Housecleaning! That sounds like work! It’ll feel good to get it over with, though!

Actually I did mine this week...everything’s clean. Well, almost. The computer room. EEK! Hubby’s dungeon. It needs it, though. I have to really work myself up to that! LOL!

[radu]

With all these cats, housecleaning is a constant. LOL! That’s ok, it gives me something to do and it’ll be comfortable in the house. And dry.
Doing a little each day keeps the place clean. I’ve been doing a little tonight.

Not much I can do with Hubby’s man cave but vacuum. The desk is piled high with clutter so I don’t bother to touch it. He wants it clean, he can do it himself. It’s the one room he’s allowed to do his hoarding in the house. Anything left lying around in any other rooms in the house goes into the trash and is burned.

[radu]

Boom

[luvie]

Ya did it! Got to it before I finished the show I’ve been watching!

Guess I’d better head out for the evening. See ya tomorrow. Hope you have a good day!

[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, Kathy. How's it going?

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[radu]

I almost didn’t notice and just KNEW you were going to snag it before I could. LOL! Got luck this time.

Good night and sleep well. Hope your day is a good one as well.
