Good evening, Pro...((HUGS))..taking the train?

Have they moved into the new house yet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sarge....jumping out. Hmmmm.....

Glad you stayed safe.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home. Back sometime. Gotta spend some Mom time.

[PROCON]

I drove my new (or slightly used) Ford Explorer. I'm moving to snow country so want a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We don't get the same amount of snow as you but still a lot.

Yup, they're all moved but always a project around.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Abn! Great to see you, Brother!

I went up a few times in 46's - only once in a 53 - an experience I'll never forget.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

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)

Must retire for the evening -

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

Had to sell the suburban...my Mom just cannot make the step, even with the step stool that cuts the step to running board in half. After driving a couple small SUVs home, ended up with a 2012 Subaru Outback. Not my choice, but she can just back up to the seat and sit, then get her legs in...and NO step at all. It has good reviews, all wheel drive, and higher clearance. We will see this winter. I hope not having 4 wheel drive will work out ok.

Happy projects!

[MoochPooch]

Evening Kathy! Happy Autumn.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...

Happy Autumn to you too. Starting to get cold at night. Pushing below 32, and probably high 20s in a couple days.

Is your Autumn going nicely?

[The Mayor]

Me too Kathy, this whole month of September has been tough.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique.

Mooch.....#50!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers of peace for both our families.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........
