Hi, there, radu!
Thank you. It was a good way to use it! :)
It was a good day....and hope yours was the same. Did it rain? All we had was high-ish winds. Blech.
Just saw Paul, Apostle of Christ it was excellent, well written and excellent filming! There were maybe 12 people in the theater. We need more people to go see these great Biblical movies.
Glad your day was good, even if it was windy.
Cloudy and cool here today but no wind or rain. Just dreary.
Just been puttering around the house doing a little housework here and there. Got laundry going now.
Such a fun day. LOL
Wow! You got a epic spurt of energy going there! LOL! Do you rent out? :) Dreary isn’t that bad a deal. But since you’ve had so much cloudy weather, I reckon you’re ready for some sun!
I will have to do some dusting this week. One room at a time. I don’t want to overdo it.*snork* Hubby vacuumed yesterday. He’s sweet to do that because since I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders, I can’t really do it without major pain. whine-whine :)
Good evening, radu...any improvement in your weather?
Chilly, sunny, blue sky day. I made some good headway with threads ahead. More of that to do before Peg comes.
Not much puttering, but a little bit of sorting and boxing.
Epic spurt of energy? LOL! Hardly. Get up and do a little something, take a break, repeat. :-)
Lucky you having a hubby who helps out. No such luck here but that’s ok. He has plenty outside to do. But some cleaning doesn’t always get done as often as I’d like, depending on how my bum back feels.
I’m about sick of cloudy weather and it’s going to be this way all week, it appears. It won’t be wet every day at least. But it looks like the weekly cat food (and a little food for us. lol) run will be Tues. this week. Wed. will be a very wet day and it sux to drag in wet groceries.
Just stepped outside for a sec and there’s a stiff little breeze blowing now. brrrr
Will Spring ever move in?
Well, the weather’s improved a little - - no freezing nights - - but there’s room for more improvement. Still cooler than we like, and dreary.
But we’re better off than a lot of folks north of us who are dealing with more snow so we really can’t complain.
Sounds like your weekend’s been good and productive.
Not much longer before Peg will arrive and I know you’re looking forward to it.
Well, I think we went straight from a sort of wishy-washy winter to summer. It was probably very close to 90 degrees here today, and you know what that means for July and August. I don’t even want to think about it. Wish I could spend the whole summer in JH.
I think you’re doing the smart thing by doing a bit and then taking a break. Where’s it going to go anyway huh? I always wondered why people are in such a hurry to “get it all done”. Then it’s time to start all over. Don’t want to aggravate the back pain anyway. That always sux!
Now?
Now?
DANG!!!! It’s HOT down there! WAAAAAAY too early for it! It does look like y’all are in for a miserable summer, doesn’t it?
It would be nice if some of these kittehs could be trained to do a little cleaning, especially since most of the mess is made by THEM. LOL
WOOHOO! You got it!
I was off checking on the birds overseas. What else? LOL
Still lots of runoff from the yards melting. I’ve been chipping ice for about 5 minutes each night when I get home and my driveway is 80% dry.
I just got off the phone with Ashlie...she’s on the road to Dallas from Houston to pick up Grant and we talked for almost 90 minutes as she drove. Her business is heading in the direction of security dogs. Her new puppy, Nova, is about 13 weeks old and starting on scent training. I need to upload a picture.
I know huh! They need to earn their keep. It’s a shame there isn’t a market for cat hair. You’d have it cornered! LOL!
I barely keep up and I only have two of them. :)
Ugh! Sounds like no fun at all having so much ice to chip away.
So Ashlie is thinking about changing from service to security, huh? Cool!
And she has another puppy? Is it one of Barrett’s or his sister’s offspring.
Shoo, there’s enough cat hair to weave blankets! LOL! I just don’t know how to make it into yarn.
Thank you, birdies!! LOL!
Eagle mom-to-be at Estonia says you’re welcome. LOL
She’s the one I have up. She’s getting snowed on at the moment. :-(
But what really has my attention is a hoo-hoo bird calling close by. I love that sound. Just wish I knew what kind of bird it is.
I just got to that one. It’s so beautiful but brrrrrr! I haven’t heard the hoo-hoo bird yet. Just traffic from somewhere.
I hear something roaring but can’t tell what it is. Haven’t heard it before. It’s usually quiet there except for wind blowing sometimes. I think it’s the wind now and it’s the way the mic is picking up the sound. Hard to tell. The wind’s really cranked up today.
The hoo-hoo bird has stopped, darn it. Now I just hear a few little chirps and heard something that sounded like ducks.
Snow there means it’ll hit Latvia next. :-(

Ed W. "Too Tall" Freeman (November 20, 1927 - August 20, 2008) was a United States Army fixed and rotary wing aircraft pilot who received the Medal of Honor on July 16, 2001 for his actions in the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965. As a helicopter pilot, he flew through gunfire more than 20 times during a single, ferocious battle, bringing supplies to a trapped battalion of United States soldiers and flying more than 70 wounded soldiers to safety. Freeman flew wingman for Major Bruce Crandall who also received the Medal of Honor for the same missions. He is also honored in the film "We Were Soldiers" and is played by Mark McCracken.
unarmed helicopter through a gauntlet of enemy fire time after time, delivering critically needed ammunition, water and medical supplies to the besieged battalion. His flights had a direct impact on the battle's outcome by providing the engaged units with timely supplies of ammunition critical to their survival, without which they would almost surely have gone down, with much greater loss of life. After medical evacuation helicopters refused to fly into the area due to intense enemy fire, Captain Freeman flew 14 separate rescue missions, providing life-saving evacuation of an estimated 30 seriously wounded soldiers -- some of whom would not have survived had he not acted. All flights were made into a small emergency landing zone within 100 to 200 meters of the defensive perimeter where heavily committed units were perilously holding off the attacking elements. Captain Freeman's selfless acts of great valor, extraordinary perseverance and intrepidity were far above and beyond the call of duty or mission and set a superb example of leadership and courage for all of his peers. Captain Freeman's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.
