Hiya radu!

We did indeed have a great 'shooting' time.

In fact we're going back Saturday too. It's nice that ammunition has gone down in price.

Hitting the sack soon.

[mylife]

3/4s of range time is just chin wagging, but cheap ammo and BBQ makes it better. :}

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LOL
It’s not like l’m gonna be wrestlin’ cattle!
I’m going to teach people to read!
It will open the world to them, and good fiction
will also take them to places they never thought they would go.!
It is a huge gift to be able to read.
It is one I can commit to, and I shall!

[mylife]

I start my day reading, end my day reading., spend most of the day on comprehension.

[luvie]

What a wonderful way to spend retirement time! I haven't done much. There's not much to do here. LOL! If I were there I'd go sit on the beach. A lot. 💙

[luvie]

I did get a good nap! To make up for this morning for which I have no idea! I was ticked off at myself, that’s for sure! LOL!

How was your day? Is it pretty there? How is Sasha tonight? Better, I hope!

[radu]

Going back Saturday? COOL!!
Glad y’all had fun today.

It was a good day at the museum. There was already a large pile of uniforms to work on and they brought another large pile in this morning. They’re going to keep me hoppin’ for a while. LOL

[radu]

I reckon you WERE ticked off at yourself for waking up early for no reason. That sort of thing gets the day off on the wrong foot. But a good nap should have gotten things back on track. LOL

It was pretty toasty here and muggy. A few pop-up showers in the area but nothing at the farm or at the museum.
Gonna get hotter and hotter the next few days, and muggier. Ugh!

Sasha’s doing well at this point. She eats cat food sometimes and others, she lets me know it’s back to baby food for that meal. But she’s eating with no problems and that’s what counts.

[luvie]

Now?

[luvie]

Now?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

After reading the morning news, I marvel that the crap that the liberal newspapers print is considered news!
It insults our intelligence!

[luvie]

I woke up from my nap, then rolled over and went back to sleep. LOL! So I do feel way better! Naps are the best!

I guess muggy is the name of the game for summers in TN, huh. Thank goodness for AC! I read that you were busy at the museum today. That’s great. They are going to have more uniforms than than they have spots for!

Also glad your little gal is better. I hope she continues to improve!

[Kathy in Alaska]

MS B...good evening...((HUGS))...don’t do so much that you relapse.

[radu]

Now, it was! LOL

WOOHOO! It’s yours!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Really surprising as every week of late brings some sort of system issues.

We are all ready to drop. My stuff went pretty well. I got some help checking from the accounting dept, and I was at it til 2am last night. BUT....I’m fairly confident that my stuff is good, but we will see, d:o)

I made macaroni and cheese and that will keep me happy for several days. Dishes done, shorts and sweatshirt and socks, but I may need to turn on a space heater. It’s chilly out and trying, without much luck, to rain.

[radu]

Well you should be up all night now after that long nap. LOL

Yep, it’s pretty humid here most of the time. Part of living here, like it or not. I just hope the stiff breeze we’ve had the past couple of days sticks around through the weekend when it’s going to be 90 degrees. No wind, it’ll be stifling.

They’re going to keep me busy with uniforms for a long time but that’s just fine. I really enjoy doing it.
Not all will stay at the museum though. They’ll keep what they want and sell the rest to other collectors. Everything I’m cleaning is covered with a garment bag and hung upstairs for the time being.

We’re glad Sasha’s doing well too. She’s always been a bottomless pit and to see her unable to eat hurt my heart.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

The weekend is getting closer. Can you see it from there?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Right after Literacy class, I’m there!
I will hang out at the small beach next to the Cottage,
maybe buy some lobster right off the boat, or maybe some Lobster Bisque from the little restaurant at Allen’s Seafood.
The maybe to Lands End to shop!
Sounds good?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
Good evening Ma!
“don’t do so much that you relapse.”
*tapping tiny foot*
Look who’s talking!
LOL

[luvie]

*groan* If only I were there to go with you! That sounds like a perfect day!
