Good morning, E...((HUGS))...did you ad Gizmo have a fun adventure yesterday? Some water, some rocks, some rolling all over?

You boys have a great Thursday.

[radu]

Yes, the kitties are still enjoying taking turns on the hi-rise. LOL There’s a different combination of them every time I go to the living room.

[radu]

Yikes, spel!! Glad to hear you’re doing better and I hope Mrs. spel is better soon. Keeping you both in my prayers.

[radu]

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

How was your outing with Gizmo yesterday? Did he find some good smelly spots to roll in? LOL

[E.G.C.]

Well, yep he did roll in a couple of spots yesterday. You'll see that in the pics below.

We did have a great supper from Applebee's yesterday. Had to fight through some traffic on 81 to get to the place though. Yes, even small towns have slowpokes who like to cause traffic jams.

Yesterday at Wichita Ridge:

Happy Gizmo!!

[luvie]

Glad they’re enjoying it. It must be the quietest those kitties have been in a long time. :)

[radu]

It was a beautiful day over there. Giz certainly made the most of it. :-)

[radu]

It HAS been quiet and I have no problem with that. LOL I’m letting them enjoy the box, too, but not for long. It’s a bit large and I don’t want it in the living room forever. But for now, it’s doing a good job. :-)

[luvie]

Cat traps...er...boxes work every time they’re tried! LOL!

Guess I’ll finish up this show and head out. No headache tonight, but I am sleepier than normal. See ya tomorrow!

[radu]

Boxes work like a charm. They like this one a lot because it’s large enough for several to get into at the same time. A couple like to sleep on top of it and they’re slowly crushing it. It won’t last long. LOL

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow.

[left that other site]

I wish.

I talked to a neighbor who is an RN, and she gave me some ideas as to how to handle this.

I would appreciate your prayers, because this is NOT cool.

I have things to do and places to go.

(((HUGS)))

[SkyDancer]

Good Morning Kathy! (((HUGS))) Oh yeah, fun trip, neat folks, a couple wanted me to stay over but had to decline. Will be in Cessna class next couple of days to go over new stuff.

Both of us were tested for the ChiCom virus, flu and pneumonia. ChiCom is the only one which showed up in the tests for both of us.

My resistance levels are usually very high and that is why my case is mild. Mrs. spel, on the other hand, has a chronic bronchial issue so that she is worse than me.

She is smiling and laughing this morning so that that is a good sign. ;-)

When I told the doctor that I did not believe his assessment of my test and that I wanted a second opinion he said, “Oh! If you want a second opinion I can give to you a second opinion. You are very ugly, too!”

Please see Post # 54 so that I do not have to type all of that again. ;-)

[luvie]

Howdy, Howdy, Early Birds!
How 'bout those brave troops!
They are simply the best.
Hope everyone has a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
...and pretty weather like it is here!
(((hugs)))

[luvie]

LOL! Humor aside...glad that Mrs. Boss is seeming to feel better. You better take gooooood care of her!!

For those who like WWII history:

Parade of the Vanquished - 57,000 German Prisoners, Moscow 1944

The German Army reached Moscow in 1944, but under unforeseen circumstances!

Check comments below the video:

Arthur Renner - 2 hrs ago
In 1945, my own father ended up in a coal mine concentration camp in Eastern Ukraine. 75% died. He was in there 5 years. A Russian girl helped save his life, by bringing him goat’s milk.

[dfwgator]

Germans were in Moscow in 1941....But this is the part they don’t want you to remember.

Glad to hear Mrs. spel is starting to feel a little better.
When SHE starts telling jokes, we’ll know she’s well on the road to recovery. ;-)
Prayers continue.
