Good morning, Ma ((HUGS))

Hope you are getting much needed R&R.
And, enjoying the warmer weather.

[E.G.C.]

Well, it's going OK. I have a doctor's appointment later today.

The trip to the entist went OK. I had some fillings that needed to be done.

The ramp guy is still doing some work around the house yesterday, he started putting windows in my bedroom.

Nice sunny weather this morning. Needing some rain though. Fire weather conerns.

[beachn4fun]

Are you getting the double pane windows that tilt in?

Those can make a world of difference.

[E.G.C.]

Yep, I think that’s what they are. The ones that keep the cold air out.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning and (((HUGS))) back at you.

Lots of catching up at work today for me.

[luvie]

Good morning, Early Birds!
This night owl was puny last night
and is grumpy this morning! :)
Have a great day, y'all!

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[luvie]

Sorry I missed your great thread last night, Lauren! I was
nursing a puny tummy. We were stationed at Sheppard right
after being married. It was a good two years!

Seems to me that NYT was stationed there, too (not at the same time we were. LOL). :)

Thanks for your hard work. Miss getting to talk to ya! (((hugs)))

[luvie]

I think you guys must now be getting the wind that we had
yesterday! It was nasty...sand blowing...ugh. Cooler this
morning, too!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Luv!

*HUGS*

Great to see you this morning!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Arrowhead1952]

Yes, the cooler air is welcome here too, but the wind is awful.

[luvie]

Doing well! Hope you and Bo are having a good week! (((hugs)))

[luvie]

That looks like a really good show!

[yorkie]

Good LORD! I never saw anything LIKE that!

(You posted some amazing graphics, last night!)

[luvie]

Awesome pics, Sis! :)

[luvie]

Good to see you, too, Conor! Hope your week is going well!

[luvie]

I feel your pain! We were eating dirt if we stepped outside
for any time with the sand blowing. It’s much nicer today. So...
your time is coming for it to calm down! :)

[beachn4fun]

LOL

Hello Grumpy night owl

Hope things get better for you

((HUGS))

[luvie]

Thanks, Early Bird! I think I’ll live! LOL! Just a bit of
the crud, I suppose! I was glad to stay home from work, though.
(big surprise, huh!)

[Arrowhead1952]

I hope it calms down soon. We really need some rain here.
