Glad to hear quieter at work. Not at all surprised about quieter in here....likely still activity going on on the New Year’s Day thread. I still have lots of reading to do over there. I made it thru all the time zones last night, including Hawaii, and crashed. LOL!! Lots to catch up on.

It turned into a sort of cooking thread with lots of talk about Chile peppers towards the end...

Thanks, unique, for the graphics.
Happy New Year, Dolly!
I, too, loved the AF1 shot....don't imagine any of those soldiers
had to be ordered out to see its arrival.

Evening Jinxy.
Never heard it used for that but if you have a unique enzyme deficiency it can make you turn blue.

I indulged myself this morning....refused to get up....just let myself lie there drifting in and out of sleep. I needed the “nothing” time. Then realized, with a start, that my thread needed to be done. The days of the last two weeks have been a tad mixed up. d:o)
Did you and Nana have a nice, restful day?
