Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Have you and Gizmo had a good weekend? Had a little break from the heat so you can enjoy more time at the lake?
So, so, so special to have those older veterans come to visit...I suspect a flood of memories. What a special moment for you and the others at the museum.
And you finally got RAIN!!! I had almost 3/10th in the gauge this morning. That was a surprise.
Nice! I’m jealous!
But also happy for you and anybody else getting quenching rains where they’re needed. Yay!

It’s very special when the older vets show up. We’re losing the WWII vets pretty fast these days so it’s exciting, and an honor, when we get to meet one. There was a special element for us in getting to meet this one because he’d trained at Camp Forrest.
It turned out Hubby knew him back in the days when he rode motorcycles Frenchie was the mechanic who did the repairs when needed. Same goes for the head honcho at the museum. Neither of them had a clue about Frenchie’s history.
He never did tell us his real name. He said he’s gone by Frenchie since he joined the military at age 16 and it’s the name he’ll go by until the day he dies. He was such a character.
yes, we finally got some rain! And more due tomorrow and Monday. Now we don’t have to worry so much about wildfires breaking out. It’s been scary-dry here.
I noticed raindrops on the Lake Hood cam housing this morning and wondered how much there’s been, and if you’d gotten any. That’s gives y’all a little more breathing room too. It’s nice to see it green up there after being brown for so long.
We’re thrilled to get a good rainfall at long last. We got more today than we’d gotten the rest of the month up to this point. An inch more than we got all last month.
Now we have to figure out how to turn on the taps over TX so y’all can get some rain!
Gizmo’s happy face says he had a great time. Glad you had decent temps for your outing.
So you’re going to heat back up again this week, too, are you? Same here. It starts here on Tuesday. *sigh*
Have fun today and enjoy your Sonic dinner.
Truly a work of art! I’m glad y’all are getting to display it!
Good evening/morning, luvie, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Thank you for the hymns.
A cardboard jeep...who would have ever thought of such a thing. The guys that made it sure did a good job!!
A day late, but a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, E.
Hope you and Gizmo had a great day.
2/10s...we’ll take it. Sure glad you got a bunch!
I can't help but wonder if other displays at the Memorial Day event were as creative. This one is pretty hard to beat as far as that goes, imho.
Glad it wasn’t crowded, making y’all miss out on your usual spots.
