Hope you had a good day.

Good evening, Marine...((HUGS))...I'm ready for the weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Headed home.

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Night Owl!

After wonderful recipe exchanging thread from yesterday, my son just called asking how to cook a Palani, which is also known as a Tile Fish. If properly cooked, it'll be a pupu for one person.

There are four of them for dinner!

[luvie]

God bless our wonderful Canteen Heroes...and ALL our heroes
around the world who fight for freedom for everyone!

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh dear....one bite for each? Maybe he’s making something else too????

[Kathy in Alaska]

Gut Shabbes, Mooch...any good edits lately? Maybe a cool story?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand. More rain?

[luvie]

LOL! Well, he’s trying, at least!

Gotta learn somehow, right?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mayor, for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[SandRat]

Empty promises from the clouds. All Bluster and no BOOM.

[AZamericonnie]

I finally got my code changed over after the last fotki shuffle.

Another busy yet productive day.

Dinner is done & working on music....I need a housekeeper this week!:)

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Luv and NightOwl!

Necessity is the mother of invention.....so's starvation.

They're not starving over on the Kona side. My son had the gumption to go catch fish after work and did well catching five. Trouble is none of them know how to cook.

[luvie]

I guess this is “where the rubber meets the road” or the
fish meets the flame, as it were! LOL!

Then..they call out for pizza! :D

Tribute to a young soldier

[Kathy in Alaska]

Last evening was rain, at times heavy! All clear today, but they say more tonight. We are only about an inch short now.

[luvie]

Just so you know...we got no rain.

Don’t know how Arrowhead fared. We sure do need it...and
some cooling off!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique, for the rocker!
