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

I think we’ve made it through hump day. My day went to heck in a hand basket about 4p...major crisis, but all is well now. Whew!

Hope your day was good.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...and now you have snow!

After that first snow we had, we had 3 days of rain and low 40s temps. Most of it is gone and the city is sloppy wet and it’s supposed to freeze tonight.

Hope you got some nice, warm boots.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...any more parachute flights?

Enjoy your time at home.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion...they sure do some interesting stuff.

[luvie]

[The Mayor]

Thank you Kathy! Snow is coming here :(

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....The Mayor grabs the gold!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....Janey snags the silver!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Mooch bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...you should be in bed by now. Early morning coming for you...hope today went well.

[Kathy in Alaska]

That is so true, Luv...we will always remember them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, my...did you take your brownies to the VFW?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))...any hiking weather?

Had to put spikies on the crocs I wear out onto the deck to feed the ducks....not enough sun to dry up all the rain. Ice is everywhere, but the main roads are not too bad.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We are looking at several more days of rain early next week, with maybe some snow by next weekend.

[caww]

Hello Kathy.....burning the midnight oil here in Pa again.

I woke this week to a dusting of snow that hung on to the deck for three days...it just didn’t want to budge as temps were cold and windy. Alot of people around with colds now.

Looks like we’re headed into snow showers and mixes ahead. Fair saying winter has arrived when I begin using my second heater.

Trust you’re doing well and staying warm.......

Good evening, caww...winter keeps trying, but then comes the rain.

Sounds like much the same as you.

Doing well and warm, and for you the same.

[E.G.C.]

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

How's everyone doing this morning?

[caww]

Things are good and toasty warm as the snow flies. Enjoying the winter months as I hunker down and wrap myself with cozyness. Cat snoozing in her bed, spending more time inside than out, along with scented candles filling the air - reminders that the Holidays are drifting in soon........ God is good to us one and all in this country ... for that we are grateful.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...do you have good weather for lake hunting?

You and Gizmo have a terrific Thursday.
