Humid again this morning. My time 10:50 a.m.

Hummers have left for sure- they have a long way to fly such little guys.

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

I am actually just getting back into the office. Had to take an extra day to go to Roanoke for an aunt’s funeral. Got home late last night, so I’m not a happy cat this morning. Coffee...coffee...today’s mantra! hehe

Going to close office door so no one can bother me. I have some leftover work from last week and some new stuff this morning. Bossman wants to meet to discuss finances tomorrow so I gotta hop to it. Didn’t want to get to far into it without saying good morning.

Hmmm, they have hot summers in Washington state? I thought it was cool summers and frigid snowy winters. Have you found a place yet?

Hiya Beachie! I’ve been looking for new housing on the web and will visit the area soon. Western Washington, ie. the Seattle area is a temperate climate. East of the Cascade mountains is basically fertile desert land, completely different climate.Yakima is the largest apple growing area in the US. It will definately be different from what I’m used to.OK, hope you get caught up, have a great Wednesday!

EXTREMELY URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

I’m requesting prayers for my son’s wife, Tiffany, and their unborn child. My son, Robert, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his wife are expecting their 4th child, a girl (Emma Liliana Rose Pinnell) December 15th. Tiffany, who is epileptic, has gone into premature labor and is in the hospital one hour away from Live Oak, Florida. She’s been bleeding for the past two weeks, and at grave risk.

Please alert the FR prayer warriors.
