Stay cool!

Good evening, Mooch...our heroes who made/make America great. They must not be forgotten.

Are you caught up in the heat wave issues? Hope you can stay cool...that your air conditioner behaves properly. 🙂

Howdy, Kathy.

I imagine you’ve spent the day catching up on the work that didn’t get done yesterday. At least you had a fun day yesterday.

Momma ducks and their babies making their daily appearances?

Howdy, PRO.

I don’t reckon you’ve done anything on Robin’s projects this weekend. I feel for y’all. Oof! I’ll bet your A/C is a-huffin’ and a-puffin’ to keep you comfy!

It isn’t quite as hot here but it’s more than hot and steamy enough to keep us inside a lot. No wind today, which we had the past two days, to make it more tolerable.

Hiya radu!

Yeah, it's plenty, really triple-digit hot here, just been laying low and staying inside with the A/C.

Did you get to the museum this weekend? (Send pics!)

I hear ya on staying inside with the A/C! I do that a lot this time of year. LOL
Y’all are really getting clobbered right now. That kind of heat is something you’re used to hearing about in the desert but not in your corner of the country.

PLEASE don’t send it down here!

Yes, I did get to the museum this weekend and had a blast, as always. Got to go through with several veterans which I enjoy because I learn a little something new from each of them.

I’d forgotten I took a few pix last weekend. They’re still in the camera but that can be taken care of quickly enough. I’ll have them for you shortly.

Alrighty, here are a couple of new pix from the museum. The first is a training aid that was donated by a collector from Montana who was visiting one of the museum's volunteers. There are colored lights on the ship's masts that are used as signal flags are, but they can be seen at night when flags can't be seen. The knob on the right turns to turn on the different lights to show the different codes.

Here's a Japanese helmet that was obviously worn by a soldier about to be captured and he wasn't going to let that happen.

He is the kind of legal immigrant we so desperately need today to show the world what a US soldier/military person can and will do to defend freedom.

Howdy, luvie.

Wow! You had some GOOD rainfall for a change! I had no idea you’d gotten that much.
And got to enjoy some cool temps.

It was steamy hot here today and there wasn’t a nice wind blowing to take the edge off. It looks to be the same the next few days. Ugh!

Glad you like them. I don’t take many pix these days. Just when something new comes in.

It’s been wonderful. The rain was hard and steady, and though there was thunder, there was very little wind. Our grass is happy. LOL!

it’s 70 degrees right now, For the next week, at least, it’s going to be from mid-70s to mid-80s. I’M happy. :)

I hope you get some relief from the steamy pretty soon. That can ruin even the prettiest day.

I’ve Momma7 a couple times today. Momma5 has not appeared today.

Both batches head directly for the deck when I go out. It’s pretty funny to watch.

Sounds like the best kind of rain. You got lucky with wind considering how bad a lot of the storms in TX have been.

And really lucky with the temps you’ll have the next several days! At the end of June/beginning of July?? That’s almost a miracle! LOL

Maybe that will move over here by the weekend. We’ll be hot and steamy all week but they SAY a front is moving through by Saturday, I believe. It ups the rain chances, though, and that won’t be good for fireworks.

How's everyone doing this morning?

I wonder if Momma5 found somewhere else to get goodies for herself and the kiddos. Hard to believe anyone else would take as good care of them as you do though.

Of course they all head for the deck when you step out. Chow time! LOL Smart birds.

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

Did you have any leftover KFC or did you and Gizmo eat all of it? It looked like you two had quite a workout.
