Happy Sunday All...

Tonight’s lineup seems to be trying too hard...so many shows...I’m liking Suspense and love to hear from Jean Arthur this time in Cavalcade of America...Battle Stations looks good...

How are you?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! We’re fine. How’s it going with you?

[Vision]

Hi Gina, it’s been a good weekend, smoked some ribs. But it’s gotten cold, not happy about that. You?

[WXRGina]

Yeah, we had that cold front move in, too, but not nearly as cool as up where you are. It’s nice fall weather here.
