Howdy, Kathy!

I figured you were in your recliner in a coma after the hell-week you’ve had. LOL

I’m recuperating for the night’s work in Clara’s .... too many trips up and down the stairs but a LOT of junk is out of there. Still a looooooong way to go. *sigh*

No rain today but we’ll have some tomorrow. It was beautiful though very windy. The wind got even stronger after dark and has howling. It was kind of creepy in Clara’s upstairs bedroom because I could hear it so clearly.

Oh man, I feel for y’all with those pot holes. They’re probably worse than what we have here and ours are plenty bad. I hope you’re able to avoid standing water when driving to and from work. We don’t want you having a wreck from slamming into one of those darn things!

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

What was Gizmo’s game of choice at the lake this time? Chasing birds, digging for lil critters, or playing on the stumps? :-)

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...you and Gizmo headed for the track field today? You guys are getting a lot of running experience.

Have a great Thursday.

You are so right....I passed out not too soon after I sat down. This has been a horrid week, and Thursday and Friday are both going to be just as busy.

Glad you are making steady progress on your clean and search mission.

More rain and wind...geez!!

I’m headed to bed....rest well when you get there.

LOL! I figured right then, huh? I knew you hadn’t gotten much sleep and had to be exhausted.
I hate it for you that the next two days won’t be any better. :-(

The cleaning mission is going to be a loooong-play event. It’s insane the amount of junk that’s in that house. Too many years of hoarding. All the bags of stuff I hauled out of one bedroom and it’s barely noticeable when you look at the room. It’s sure noticeable when you see all the bags on the carport though! Can’t burn anything tonight with the wind roaring. Maybe this weekend .....

Sleep well and good luck tomorrow.

We didn't go to the lake yesterday due to the strong winds we had. The winds gusted as high as 57 MPH at Ketchum Ranch out by Duncan.

Thankfully we didn't lose power due to the winds. Some parts of the state lost power. That wind system was a major headliner too. A number of airlines cancelled flights due to it.

I wondered if the winds were bad there. They were pretty strong here all day and really kicked up after dark. It sounds like a never-ending train going by.
Good thing you stayed home from the lake. That kind of wind will knock you down.

At least you didn’t have the winds they had in CO. I just saw a piece on TV about the mess they had ..... multi-car pile-ups and a derailed train. YIKES!

We have storms in our forecast for today and it could get dicey. The line that’s supposed to hit us is already building up over TX and AR and looks ugly already. *sigh*

Goood mornin'l, Early Birds!
The wind quit blowing!
Well, at least it isn't gale-force today.
That's an improvement!
It's actually a pretty sunny if cool morning.
All the kitties were glad they could eat in peace.
Anyhooooo....🦉....y'all have a Fun Friday Eve!
