It does make one wonder about the timing....very strange, very annoying.

Well, that was quite a “howdy”, Procon! LOL! Had a good 7-hour drive
and am looking forward to seeing that gal tomorrow. I am staying
at my MIL’s house; didn’t want to pile in on my DIL after making such
a last minute decision to come. We will be with them for her party
tomorrow! I can’t believe she’s 4 either! Adelaide is, too.They were
born 2 days apart (we were running a “race” and Adelaide won! LOL)

Good afternoon/evening, E...((HUGS))...lots of problems with getting on FR last night. Hopefully all is well today.

I just stopped by to say hi to all. God bless and keep our military, police, fire and EMT, our country and its leaders, and may He protect and encourage the Tea Party to stand strong.

Thank you, TenthAmendmentChampion, for the prayer for the protectors of our country.

Have a wonderful weekend.
