Marissa will be 5 on the 7th.

December 7th? "A day that will live in infamy!" :^D

Happy (early) birthday, Marissa .....

[JustAmy]

Oh No!!

Good night, Victoria. Get lots of rest. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Dansy.

Looks like I missed you again this morning. Seems that I have been busy, busy for the past month!!

Hope sanity returns to my life soon. :)

Hope your day was great; have a terrific Tuesday.

[JustAmy]

I live in the boondocks and the current temperature is 33 deg.

We covered the orange and avocado trees yesterday. We also have water running around the treees to try to warm those areas. I hope we don't lose any trees this year. :(

[MeekOneGOP]

I hope you don't lose any of your trees, too. :^O

We're heading for the low 30's tonight here - around 34,
I think. Around 30 for tomorrow night.

I'm going to get horizontal for a few hours.

G'night and see you manana .....

I found that poem on another web site. Whoever submitted the poem only used a first name.

Hope you had a good day; have a terrific week.

[JustAmy]

Good night, Meekie. Pleasant Dreams!!

See you tomorrow.

Good evening, A-G.

Hope you had a wonderful day. Have a great week.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Darks.

Sorry I was busy today and missed you.

Hope your day was good. Have a terrific Tuesday.

[JustAmy]

Sorry that I missed you this morning, Rus.

I got busy and didn't even make it over to check the Finest's Military Monday.

Thank you for remembering us every day with Our Daily Bread.

Have a beautiful week.

I did a good job of hiding today, actually.
Hoping things went well for you as well.
And may your evening and your dreams be pleasant and restful.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Their FFs are pretty darn good. :)

[JustAmy]

Thank you!!

Hope to see you tomorrow.

[Darksheare]

Welcome.
I'll be around.

A Cattle Range at Night

The prairie zephyrs have dropped to rest,
And the dust-clouds settle down;
The sun dips low in the golden west,
O'er the mesa bare and brown.
The wearied riders come loping in,
As the hills grow dim and strange,
And the songs of the insect world begin--
'Tis a night on a cattle range.

The stars gleam out in the calm, clear sky
Like twinkling orbs of light,
And over the range drifts the coyote's cry
Through the star-lit summer night;
The night-hawk whirls in its ceaseless rush,
As the evening breeze is stirred,
And the cowboy's song breaks the lonely hush,
As he circles the bedded herd.

The campfire throws but a fitful glare,
And the buttes, like specters, rise
Far over the deep arroyo there,
As sentinels in the skies.
While the silent forms in their blanket beds
Dream on, to the night wind's sigh,
As gently about their sleeping heads,
The breeze drifts idly by.

The moon steals up o'er the dark butte's crest
In silvery shafts, which gleam
And sparkle there on the brown earth's breast
Like gems in a fairy dream.
The night creeps on, with its mystic charms,
To the song of the whip-poor-will,
And drifts to Dreamland in Nature's arms,
And the range grows hushed and still.

Last week, I gave her a calendar so she could mark the days off. I was getting tired of saying "no, not tomorrow .... it's another two weeks" or "another 10 days."

:)

I really like that poem. Have a great night,Amy.

[JustAmy]

I usually get french fries and a coke when she gets a kid's meal. We went to Carl's Jr's today. FFs were not as good but they were not bad.
