He’s already come a long way in trusting you. He doesn’t bolt when he sees you any more. Slow but steady. Once he starts allowing you to pet him, he’ll turn into putty in your hands. lOL

Finally home, fed, at the computer, but early bed is on the list as soon as I finish the thread.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS)Good morning, Ladies. How's it going?

[luvie]

That’s the way I feel when the flowers die and the grass fades. If it wasn’t so hot, I’d really like summer! LOL!

[radu]

Long day for you. Hope everything started working again to get the checks out so that’s not hanging over everyone’s heads.

[radu]

Yeah, the heat does take a little of the fun out of summer, doesn’t it? LOL! But it’s so nice to see everything green and colorful, even if it’s through the windows most of the time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What a cool picture....beautiful.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique.

radu....#50!!

Our little piece of heaven on earth. It’s so pretty when the fields are full of crops. It’s one of the few century farms left in the county. Most have been sold and are now subdivisions. :-( The bulk of farms around here are less than 100 years old.

[radu]

Just had to go for it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We finally left about 8p....checks printed, Direct Deposit file sent to the bank, and taxes filed.

And I keep falling asleep. I’m off to bed.

Rest well when you get there.

[radu]

Whew, that was TOO long a day. At least the checks got done.

I hope tomorrow is a LOT smoother than today was. They need to let y’all off early! :-)

Sleep well!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...long day at work, and I keep falling sleep.

You and Gizmo have a great Thursday.

[SkyDancer]

Good Morning! (((HUGS))) Sorry for late response but had to do a quick flight that just put me at my max hours for the day and wound up in Omaha for the night (pulled in way late - went to bed and up at 7am).

[left that other site]

Yes indeed.

LOL. Lawrence of Arabia shoulda stuck to camels. This is what killed him"

Wow! He sure looks like Peter O'Toole!

[luvie]

"Well, lookie over there, Hiram!
I believe it's the weekend!"
"Can't see much for that camel's hump.
But I think you're right, Buster!"
Hope all y'all are ready for it to get here!
'Cuz it's comin'!
Meanwhile, have a Fantastic Friday Eve!
