LOL! Maybe it is her. Ya never know.

It was a little warmer today than yesterday but still comfy. Two more days of low 80s, then mid 60s Saturday with some rain.

Bummer it heated up so much down there. Ugh!

[radu]

Thanks. Been a while since I lucked into a medal. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

HO HO HO, mountainlion...17 is cold. Glad you got your wood in.

We are still having rain, but thankfully the temps have only dipped into the 20s a couple times so far.

Stay warm!!

One more day of the heat and then down to the 60s here. I look forward to it.

It sounds like this front is going to dip far enough south to give y’all a good dose. I hope they aren’t calling for lows Fri. night in the 30s like they’re predicting for us Sat. night. BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Kathy in Alaska]

I brought nothing home and am sitting in my chair. My alarms are turned off. Lots of things need to get done, but on my time. LOL!

[The Mayor]

Thanks Kathy! It’s always a dash to the finish line :)

[mylife]

lows in the 40s Friday morning.
87 for a high today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...flying all over then place. May you have great weather and safe flights.

[luvie]

Nah, It’ll be a while before that happens. It only stays in the 60s for a couple of days before it goes back to the 80s The never-ending summer continues. I look forward to having to wear flannel to sleep in. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! You will be finding stuff for quite a while, and when you least expect it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Too cute...a 5 star owl. d:o)

[radu]

Now yer talkin’! Some much-needed “you” time. Feels good, doesn’t it?

[luvie]

He’s a tough ol’ bird! LOL!

[radu]

I’m usually way too late to compete with you and PRO. LOL
You two are always on the ball.

[radu]

BRRRR! Lows in the 40s is more than chilly enough, especially when you’ve been so hot for so long. It’s gonna be a shock to the system.

[mylife]

Welcome relief.

[radu]

We’ll ride the roller coaster for a while, too, but won’t get quite as hot as you will. Back into the mid 70s Sunday and for a couple of days afterwards.

No sleeping in flannel here. I get too hot. I do wear it a lot while awake, though, and love the new flannel shirts I found while cleaning out Clara’s mess. Still in the packages. No telling how many years ago she bought them, or who she bought them for.
