It’s been so warm lately that snow looks good to me..LOL (I never have to shovel it here..)

That explains that. LOL

[beachn4fun]

I figured you didn’t want to see the grumpy cat again. hehe

Goooood Thursday mornin', Early Birds!
I'm off! Join me for tea/coffee?
One lump or two? A cookie?
Hubby made snickerdoodles! :)
Hope this is a beautiful day where you are!
It is here...though a chilly 38*
I know that's warm to some of you! LOL!
Don't work to hard now, ya heah?
(((hugs)))

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning LUV and (((HUGS))). Looks like a nice day for us here.

[MEG33]

I want a Snickerdoodle with my coffee! YUM

[MEG33]

*Beach Dreäming*

;o)

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

[luvie]

Here too...nice and sunny. Really, though, I would wish for a rainy day. :) It’s been so long and I dread spring if we don’t get some. Lots of sand to blow. Ugh!

[luvie]

It was pretty yummy! :) Wish I coulda shared!

[luvie]

Howdy EGC! (((hugs)))

It goes well as a day off should! :) Hope it’s a good day for you and Bo, too! Maybe a romp at the lake? Did the rain help the water level any?

[E.G.C.]

Well, we only got a quarter to a half inch. I think it’s going to take much more to get the water level back up.

[luvie]

Ahh...I had hoped you had gotten more! Hope you have more rainy days soon!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Beachy!

***HUGS***



Happy Thursday! How are you doing this morning?

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Luv!

***HUGS***



How are you doing this morning? We’re back into the icebox again! Not too bad today – high winds - but tomorrow is supposed to be worse.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Arrowhead1952]

I was hoping for rain too. Looks like we will have to wait a little longer.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...a bit chilly for you. No shorts and t-shirt.

So far we’ve dodged the “freezing rain” bullet. Hopefully we can hold out and the temp will drop some.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon, ML...((HUGS))

Hope today’s lessons are going well.

When is your next recital?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I missed you...hope you have power when you get home. ((HUGS))

A great quote, AZ .44 MAG, a VERY great quote. Thank you.

[left that other site]

I had to cancel all of today’s lessons because I feel really lousy...a sore throat and stuffed up nose and general weakness (just a cold, I hope).

Luckily, cyber-hugs are not contagious.
