Have to laff, I have this hierarchy of Lindas there and various women I love.

One of the funny Lindas wanted to see my tattoos tonight LOL

I have no tattoos... just Lindas

Hey radu!

Perhaps you're coming in late to the Canteen lately because you're still working hard getting the other house cleaned up?

We're C-c-cold, lotsa snow too and more expected soon.

Walking in a Winter wonderland.

Haven’t even looked around. Didn’t see anything on the floor in the garage, AND didn’t even feel it at work. They say there were 2.

[luvie]

Well, maybe you need a Linda Tattoo. :)

[luvie]

2 huh. I’m glad you didn’t feel them and hope nothing was misplaced in your house~

Did you work at the field day? Working with friends is always fun.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The northern lights are always beautiful. On occasion I can see them from my deck.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...we will NEVER forget them!

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope you were able to accomplish what you wanted to get done today.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Still sans sox? LOL!

It’s been another warm day here but WET. BAD stormy in some parts of the state but we missed out on that action this time. WHEW!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...a work break for you, or are you done for the evening at the other house?

Hope you can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

You are correct. Still trying to get all the stuff out of the other house. Not an easy job, especially when doing it solo.

PLEASE keep your snow and cold up there! LOL! It’s been reeeeeeally nice to have 70 degrees the past couple of days.
Alas, that ends tomorrow night when a cold front blasts through. At least this one is a shorty and we’ll warm back up a bit Sunday into next Wed.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

I’m done for the night. Done in’s more like it. LOL
There’s light at the end of the tunnel but it’s a bit dim. Cleaning out the garage is a killer. Clara stashed a lot of junk in there while she was still mobile. I’d be finished if not for her.

I hope your day went as you’d hoped it would.

[luvie]

Hey there! Yep. No sox at least for right now. They SAY it’s going to be colder tomorrow, but it’s going to have to hurry. it’s still 58 degrees. LOL!

I heard about the weather there. I have a friend who doesn’t live far from DH and she said it was violent and that there were even tornado warnings in the area. Glad that stuff missed you guys!

We had a little shower this afternoon, but nothing measurable. It did settle the dust a bit, though.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Did you have to shovel out to get to work today?

[radu]

The colder temps must be on the way there. It’s still 70 degrees here! We won’t be that warm by this time tomorrow night though.

We had some rain here but the bad stuff stayed north of us. I didn’t know about it until the evening news. There were a few more tornado warnings earlier this evening and there’s been a lot of flooding in areas along I-40.
There could be some more ugly weather when the front blows through and I hope it misses us again.

Glad you got a little rain to tamp down the dust. You need a lot more though.

Oh! We were discussing bulbs coming up in our yards the other night. We have a clump of daffodils in full bloom in the back yard.
