Good evening, radu....it’s 48 here now. We had a beautiful, sunny day and out my window I can see almost 180 degrees of mountains.

Did you finally warm up enough so the kiddos could go outside?

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....The Mayor bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...are you still helping with trip planning? Any flying in the offing?

[Kathy in Alaska]

You can’t keep those daffodils down.

Tonight

[Kathy in Alaska]

It did run smoothly today...nice for a change.

Yes...I’m hoping for some relaxing time this evening. Fingers crossed. I really need to find the top of my desk. I’m hoping for some paper handling time.

48 degrees for up there is pretty warm! We hit 72 and it’s only dropped to 61 so far.
Kiddos spent the day outside and I hope they wore themselves out for the night. Fewer to run rampant through the house tonight. That full moon has enough of them stirred up as it is. LOL!

[radu]

Very good! I hope you make good progress on finding the top of your desk. I’ll keep my fingers crossed too!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Meg...thank you for your forever support of our troops. ((HUGS))

Are you having a nice spring?

[PROCON]

Howdy Ho!

Boring day for the most part, tomorrow morning I got a guy coming to steam clean my carpets, they're funky and need it. Either tomorrow or Friday I'll mow my son's lawn, I do it for exercise, just love the out of doors.

Anything new your way?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home...back later.

Happy belated birthday, Sis!
Hope it was special!

[radu]

Not all that exciting a day here, either. Went to the grocery store to load up on cat food for the kiddos. Got a little stuff for us too. LOL

The guy who rents our acreage for farming was here today, spreading manure to fertilize for spring planting. PEEEEUUUU! It works great but it makes it pretty hard to spend time in the yard for a bit. We hope for a good rain tomorrow to wash the stink into the ground!

[radu]

Well howdy there, Ms. B. Fancy seeing you here on a week night!
Everything going well up your way?
