[radu]

We are ready for a little respite here.

[The Mayor]

Stretch way up and then maybe.. :)
Thank you Kathy!

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

How was your day? I saw y’all had some rain earlier today. The same system is scooting just below us now .... missing us of course. *sigh*

[luvie]

Amen...we sure do!

Nighty-night, Conor! (((hugs)))

[luvie]

We did get some rain this morning! It was really nice. Now hubby doesn’t have to water the lawn. Saves $$$! LOL!

Sorry you didn’t get some rian too! Guess it’s cold there like it is here? I’m not complaining...but then I’ve stayed in all day. LOL!

[radu]

It looked like a GOOD dose of rain for y'all on the radar when I checked this afternoon. I hoped it would move far enough north to give us a little but it just won't do it. We did get a little rain while I slept, though. A whoppin' .05 an inch.

It was a raw day here. Cloudy, windy, a misty drizzle, and never got out of the 40s. Not a fun day for grocery shopping but it had to be done.

Now getting a little entertainment from stoopid kittehs as they play with an empty Kleenex box. Pippin had his head stuck in it a couple of minutes ago.

[luvie]

LOL! Those silly kittehs! They do love boxes even when they are too small to get into. I think they’re remembering how it was when they were tiny things! Those two are gorgeous!

Peaches did that same thing a week or so ago. I had to get him out of the predicament before he destroyed a room. :)

[radu]

Since you don’t seem to want it ... :-)

[radu]

We let them have the empty Kleenex boxes regularly. They have a ball with them and it’s good for a laugh.

That’s Pippin with his head in the box and his brother, Peregrin, picking on him. He was popping the side of the box with his paw which is why Pippin was reaching out with his. They, their sister, and their momma came from next door last year. After Hubby’s cousin’s wife passed away, he didn’t want to keep them so we took them in.

I did rescue Pippin after I snapped the pic. :-)

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.

[luvie]

WOOHOO!! Good job!

I sure did drop the ball that time! Never even noticed the number was so close! LOL!

[luvie]

I remember you telling us about them coming to live with y’all. Are the mother and sister similar in coloring! Those two look like twinkies!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...catching up on the sleep? Did your sale turn a good profit?

We made it thru today....checks cut only an hour late, but everyone is fried. I quit last night at 2am. It paid off in getting all but one correction made.

I sent an email about one guy’s rate of pay, but no answer. So he got paid at what I think is his old rate. His rate was supposed to go up starting 10/23, but the summary sheet they sent me is at his old rate. If they hold to 10/23, he will get paid the difference on his next check.

I’m starting to fade already and it’s only 8p.

[radu]

Dropped it big time, ya did. :-)

[radu]

Lessa (momma) is an orange tabby with white and Arabelle is the cute little calico you liked a lot. I have no idea what daddy looked like to give the two boys that pretty creamy-yellow coloring but they do stand out.

Lessa ...

... and Arabelle

[Kalamata]

Thanks for posting these cutie pie pics. Cats are so beautiful, I could look at them for hours.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

All caught up on sleep and yes, we did really well with the sale.

It sounds like you need a little sleep catch-up after the past two days. They hit y’all pretty hard at the last minute and left you busting your butts. Y’all did great being only an hour late cutting the checks!

All systems still “go” for your brother’s arrival tomorrow?

[luvie]

Big time! LOL!
