Happy Sunday All...

Mysterious Traveler looks good and hearing about Hawaiian statehood sounds interesting...

How’s it going?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision. Happy Sunday!

[Vision]

Hi Gina, thanks. Anything interesting happening?

[WXRGina]

We’re doing fine, Vision. My kitty Obie got better, and now he just has the issues he already had. He’s an older guy.

How’s it going with you?

[Vision]

Glad to hear it.

All is well, some drama at work, got in some pool time this weekend...I’m blessed.

[WXRGina]

Oh, sorry to hear about work drama. Ain’t no fun at all.

Do you have a swimming pool, or where do you swim (if you don’t mean billiards :-) )?

[Vision]

Yes swimming. I visited some friends up in PA at their country club and we hung out at the pool Saturday afternoon. Just a fun relaxing day, beautiful weather.

[WXRGina]

Oh, totally cool!
