Howdy, luvie.

His bravery saved lives.

I hope today was a good one for you.
It was a bit of a lazy one for me as I recuperate from yesterday. LOL

We’re pretty good down here these days. You need the warmth big time!

Hey there, radu!

It was a very nice day. A bit cool, but welcome, because it’s predicted to get up to 91 on Wednesday. Bah!

It’s always good to have a lazy day. You had quite a busy day yesterday, and that getting-up-early thing just added to it. I’m getting sleepy already myself.

Oh boy, yesterday was a very busy one for me. I went up to Duncan to get our KFC supper, then after supper, I mowed the lawn and trimmed the weeds....

To top it all off, lots of people at the lake and on the golf course, fishing, boating, recreating and playing golf....

Yet, Gizmo and I were still able to walk the beach and visit the docks and the pavilion.

I slept really good last night. Not sure what today brings but we'll see.

Pics from yesterday:

Hey there, luvie.

91 Wednesday???? I hope you made the most of today since it was cool!

It was a little cool here, too, and pretty windy. Light jacket weather. Windy again tomorrow but a few degrees warmer. It sounds like Thursday night will be a bit worrisome with another round of storms coming through overnight. *sigh* It’s spring.

I’m a little out of shape for all that walking yesterday. LOL It won’t take long to get used to it again, though I’m always beat on Sundays. It’s the getting up early part I never get totally used to. :-)

A busy day for you but it sounds like it was a good one.
It’s that time of year again when you and Gizmo will have to share the lakes with the crowds.

Getting up early is NOT for night owls. But, this night owl is knackered. I think it’s time to find the pillows for real. And sleep LATE in the morning. See you tomorrow night.

Ya got that right! LOL It takes me three or four weekends to train myself to go to sleep fairly early and then it’s not so bad. It’s worth the effort since I enjoy working at the museum so much. I’m just glad it’s only two days a week. LOL That’s my limit on early mornings.

Catch ya tomorrow. Sleep well and late.

I personally dedicate this scene from We Were Soldiers to all the Gen Z wussies.
