Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

WOW! You beat EG this morning.

Glad to hear you finally got some rain, too.

Good morning Meg. (((HUGS))) to you too. I think the IT guys FINALLY fixed or replaced the servers.

[Arrowhead1952]

We have another chance for more rain this afternoon. There are some big storms in west Texas.

Once those go past later today, we are headed for more triple digit temps this weekend.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and good night, Ma (((HUGS)))

I love the picture of the soldier fixing the little girl's leg and added it to my collection.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. Well, it’s Friday and I’ve finally caught up with most of the work...so all is well.

Howz things out your way? Plans for the weekend?

[E.G.C.]

It's going OK. I have to go to town tomorrow and restock on some things.

Last night was much more quieter than the night before. No storms.

[beachn4fun]

I guess with the unpredictable weather you need to stay stocked up, huh?

[E.G.C.]

((LOL))Yep, actually to get some dog bones for Bo.

And, I may take him out to the lake today. We'll see how things go.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, galz. It's Friday!
