Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Let's skip the news.... when it starts out good, it always gets messed up by my second mug of coffee in the morning.

As to the World Series, just say a very remarkable double play, a flip of the ball from the glove hand to out the runner heading to second.

[SandRat]

Evenin’ Kathy...((HUGS))...a sort of OK day. Healing is about 99% now.

When you get the Lazy-Boy-Mugging Seats remember to get some sort of armrest thingy for the TV remote and the TV Guide. lol

[Kathy in Alaska]

No TV Guide in Alaska....and my Dad and the remote should spend minimal time together. LOL!

“I don't know what I did, but could you fix it.”
“I didn't touch anything and now the tv doesn't work.”

I looked at the arm rest thingys (a couple had a retractable reading light), but the chairs are much bigger, AND most important, makes it MUCH harder to get up and out of the chairs. Both Mom and Pop are having issues getting up. Gotta have substantial, and not squishy arms, to aid in the process.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....Hawaii snags the silver!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Sand bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off to the Lazy Boy store. Someone told me where it was and I realized that it is right near Sadlers too. Maybe I can do both.

Back in a bit.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, MrB...((HUGS))...put the ladies together and look out for sure. LOL!!

Take good care of yourself and Jake and Minette and Gretchen.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Howdy from Texas!
Woo hoo!
Finally made it late afternoon, my plane was delayed a bit.
We went to a fabulous steak house this evening, and I had prime rib.
OMG, it was AWESOME.
We are at Ms laurens lovely apartment, hanging out in our jammies, and having an adult beverage.
Vacations are good!
LOL

[Old Sarge]

Good Evening, Ladies!

I am road testing a new toy tonight: a wireless modem I got today from Cricket. Internet anywhere, now!

[Old Sarge]

Well, well, well! A vacation, is it? Sounds like a plan!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Finally made it to DFW after my plane was delayed..
