Ft Riley...txradioguy and family were posted there.

Woohoo that you will be able to visit often.

He shruggs it off though, but I see it.

You are his Dad. d:o)

[mylife]

That is good news!

[NYTexan]

Got a few inches today. no big deal for me.

Gave away my snow shovels when I left NY...still don’t need ‘em!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Waverunner....I’m thinking you are so right about those snipers.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad for you....did you need to be out and about? You know how to drive in snow.

[mylife]

Find some good places homeside to eat and feel like yer back home. No one talks when you are snarfing BBQ.

Later, in more privacy, Make you concerns known, and let him know that things will never be the same, but they are always the same.

You’ll both do fine.

Best wishes.

Good evening, puppypusher...((HUGS))...did you escape the second storm? Hope the knee is not giving you too much grief in the cold weather.

[AZamericonnie]

Replacing Stanwyck with Sarandon?

Very bad idea.....it was a great series.

I agree with you, not a good idea!

***Later, in more privacy, Make you concerns known, and let him know that things will never be the same, but they are always the same.***

Pook put his nose down and dipped it in the snow then tossed it about and did it again before running around in it.

He likes it.

[AZamericonnie]

Nothing as surprising as snow on saguaros! Peaceful winter solace.....
