Done early & on a Wednesday? Yea! So glad you took some time off & trust you girls will have a super time together! It was a great day & thank you for asking.

Check out this link. I listen to this station while I get ready for work every day. The host is a sub but the scenerio was hysterical! :)

*click the first link*

[AZamericonnie]

I have 4 grandsons and 2 great grandsons.

You are SOOOO blessed!

Tomorrow is the first day of spring but our temps have been "summer like" for some areas. In the mid 80"s.

I don't want it to get too hot too early!:)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Meg, and thank you.

Thanks to you as well for always remembering our protectors in prayer and beautiful pictures. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...did you and Maddi swing today?

Does she have her own swing, or does she sit on G-Pa’s lap?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for today’s hero in military history.

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy....(((HUGS))

No swinging today. Had to take Zeus to the Vets. Found out that he has Diabetes and has Cataracts in both eyes. When we got home Maddi took 2 hr nap then she and Gr-Ma had to go tho the speech teacher.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no...poor Zeus. Is he able to be on meds?

Cataracts are a bummer, but he will adapt and can still enjoy leash walks to anywhere you can go.

[SandRat]

He started hi shots tonight. Same Med they give humans.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending prayers for the treatments to do their job, for Zeus’s comfort, and his caregivers the strength to do the job.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Is it possible that it is Russian?

[yarddog]

Yes I am sure it is Russian. This is just a wild guess but could the middle name be “Potsdam”?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))...are you floating yet?

Did you and Lynn-Dah go walking in the rain?

Composing?

[dfwgator]

I think you’re right, now that I look at it, “Potsdam.”

[mylife]

Potsdam is the German wall/gate.
