Is the new guy still studying?

When might he be ready to step in and help you?

Glad to hear that the kids are doing better.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS)...how were Thursday lessons?

[ConorMacNessa]

PT last night - pain tonight. I’d post a smilie-face but I can’t find the colon on this touchpad.

[TASMANIANRED]

I wish that I could.

Storms always keep me from getting done what I want to accomplish.

[TASMANIANRED]

The new guy is up and running but not to speed yet.

The one out sick/surgery should be back in April.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute.

Was your commute more safe today? Less of a hassle? *HUGS*

I imagine...your storms last so much longer than ours do!

I hope your garden is very successful this summer!

Last night was the last time we get to use our sprinklers. From
now on, we can only water for 2 hours on Thursday nights, using
a hand-held sprayer with a trigger that turns on the water.

2 HOURS a WEEK! It’s going to look bad here if we don’t get
rain. :(

There are still things I can't find on my iPad.

LOL! Let me guess....her name is Ann, and she seems to have gone over to the dark side.

Let me guess....her name is Ann, and she seems to have gone over to the dark side.

Her name is Ann, and she has, indeed, gone over to the dark side.
