Sometimes you have to obey life’s little slow-down warnings.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Gut Erev Shabbes, Mooch. Hope your proofing and reviewing went well last night.

Me, I’m working on some extra sleep, or at least trying to get to bed a little earlier.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The message was loud and clear this week. My Dad came down with the flu yesterday, and my Mom today. Lots of Lysol. d:o)

[BIGLOOK]

It's coincidental, I suppose, but I tried my hand at making crab cakes last night. They turned out tasty but my batter flattened out so they became crab pancakes; nothing like the picture perfect Crab Cake.

Think I'll stick to boiled crabs and beer in the future.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, Sand. Thanks for helping honor our troops. And thank you for your service to country and community.

Hey, Kathy! Thanks for the coffee and the 60+ jokes! LOL!

I hope you are feeling better today!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Much better, but am falling asleep at the switch. Waiting for a music issue to play out, then I’m off for bed. I might manage 6 hours sleep....that would be novel. LOL!

And how are you doing?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

How about a donut?

Coffee is always on........

Or a sandwich?

[Pusterfuss]

Good morning Kathy. (51)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Pusterfuss...((HUGS))..46 here. Have you had any cleansing rain? We are trying, but it’s not quite doing it. Everything is so dusty.

[Pusterfuss]

Have you had any cleansing rain?

Yes, last week-end was a wash-out. It hit 72 here yesterday. I had to mow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We need a wash-out. Are you skipping spring and going directly to summer? Mowing???? We are greening nicely.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning fellow cubevillians!

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

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