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

Still under the weather - I've been on Flexaril the last few days with little effect. Om the positive side I had a semi-annual follow-up with my cardiologist this morning - all is well with the ticker.

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

I see your Governor has put the so-called "Sanctuary cities" on notice.

It is still seasonably cold, but not “Arctic” Cold.

I keep the heat at 61 which keeps the lines warm, but doesn’t use a lot of oil, so hopefully, I’ll get through the winter without “breaking the bank”.

I did a new song last night “Jet Airliner” which was recorded by Steve Miller, but written by not-so-famous Bluesman Paul Pena.

Is it me, or is FR acting weird tonight?

[luvie]

Remembering them...always.....

[luvie]

Howdy, Conor! (((hugs)))

He sure has and I’m so proud of him! Whether the order will stand will be dealt with then, but the fact that he has tried his best makes me feel really proud to be a Texan!

Always ready to do whatever job is needed.

Good evening, Luv. Retirement going well?

[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.

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! (((hugs)))

Yes, they do the hard stuff so we can be free and safe!

Retirement is GREAT! I hope you can find out for yourself before too many years! I know it’s a major decision and I waited till I was totally convinced in my own mind that it was time.

I was tired of being bossed around by people who knew less than I did. I’m not good at being ordered about on a good day. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, JJ...((HUGS))...all your jets happy and fed?

[Jet Jaguar]

The jets are all good. Ready to go. <>

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hurrah for that good news. *HUGS*

[Kathy in Alaska]

FR is SNAIL SLOW!! Has been for me for several days. Same at work, so it can’t be me.

[luvie]

It isn’t you. It’s very frustrating because I can’t get to the posts I need to answer most of the time! GRRR!
