YIKES! Gas is now $4.139, so driving to and from work is the order of the say. Shopping is done at stores that I pass or only have to detour just a bit. And stockpiling goes on. d:o)

[luvie]

Tea cozy?

[SandRat]

Yes, ... one must remember their Cozy at Tea Time.

[luvie]

Well...mine never lasts long enough to need a cozy. :)

Thanks for the thought, though.

[SandRat]

That’s what FRiends are for.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He is doing wonderfully...it took almost 7 weeks for the meds to take effect, but the difference happened in just a few days. He is mostly himself again. He is still not sleeping very well, and he is very low on stamina. BUT...he is shoveling a little snow off the huge pile in the front yard each day, and doing a little bit of walking. And he is driving some again. I’m helping keep track of his meds, as he got a bit confused about when he should be taking what. Thanks for asking.

[luvie]

And you’re a good FRiend. :)

Aloha Night Owl!

We had a bright sun shiny day today for a change. My son came by last night and suggested we head out to Waipio this weekend....no solid plans yet but if the weather holds, a great idea.

Shopping is done at stores that I pass or only have to detour just a bit

The "swoop" to conserve right?

[luvie]

You’re welcome, Kathy. I am so thankful that he is getting back to
his old “self”! I know that you and your Mom were so worried
and now you can relax a bit and enjoy his company again!

Well....I need to head ‘em up for the night, so....

See ya again tomorrow, y’all! ((((hugs))))

[AZamericonnie]

That pic is stunningly beautiful.

[AZamericonnie]

Chores to finish & off to bed. *Hugs* to all!

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! Is that pretty! Is that a biking area? Hiking? Just enjoying each others company?

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! You haven't lost a single step in the cute graphic department.

Good morning to you and Booboo. ((HUGS))

[BIGLOOK]

We're just planning on going to the beach.....which is easier said than done. You need a four wheel drive vehicle to get down there.

As long as my son doesn't bring up his wild ideas about real estate investing, it'll be an enjoyable get together.

[HiJinx]

Hey, that looks like the Jurassic Park island!!!

(I know...)

I sorta envy you being able to visit Waipio whenever the mood strikes. Have fun!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, Luv. ((HUGS)) Have a terrific Good Friday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

OK...no real estate chatter, just fun for all. d:o)
