Good evening, Sis!
Yes, cold and rainy.
It only got up to 52 today.
Got some inside stuff done, though.
Prepped some surfaces for painting, and such.

Ahhhhhhh....I would nearly KILL for the 50s or 60s right now! LOL!

And rain? I can’t remember what rain smells like! LOL!

You had better not be wearing yourself out, li’l missy!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

You want the rain and cool, and I want the sun!

Not wearing myself out at all..

If we could just compromise with 70-80 and partly cloudy, I would be happy! LOL!

Just take care. Don’t want you to overdo it before July! :D

Do you have to work this weekend, too?

[luvie]

Sis, do me a favor. Click on my tune on post #63 and see if
it plays all right.

We are having server problems, and I need to know if it
affects anyone from listening to the tunes.

I would appreciate it! (((hugs)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv....is it reasonable to think that it will be a slow day as most folks will be at family gatherings?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

It won’t play for me, Sis..

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Yeah, I have to work this weekend..
Fri, Sat and Sunday.
Two 10 hours shifts Sat and Sunday.
Bleah!

[luvie]

Uh-oh. Does it ask you for a password or something?

I appreciate you helping me.

[luvie]

Well, that stinks! I am off Saturday, but have to work the
other two days.

My hours are NOTHING compared to yours. I cease complaining
right now! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mr Z...this Friday is always a Public Service Announcement....calling her is a good idea. She will like hearing her little boy’s voice. She can ask you questions and get answers. d:o)

[Randy Larsen]

Grumpa can be sneaky!
