Good evening Kathy, thanks for honoring tonight’s Hero, an incredible story!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

A gorgeous day up there.

Cloudy here and the cold has come back. pooey!

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Did you have a good week and weekend? Spend a little time being entertained by the silly pups?
Sure would have been nice if you’d held onto the cold instead of letting it go. LOL It’s here now.

These we honor as hero’s, yet when they performed these deeds
they were simply Americans as are we. May we be worthy of their kinship...

😆 Love it!

[radu]

Oooo BRRRR! Don’t end those single digits down here! LOL I just paid a horrendous propane bill from last month’s deep freeze.

Don’t blame ya a bit for staying in. I do the same when it’s that cold.

It was an expensive weekend but at least my plumbing situation is finally straightened out. Today has just been kicked back.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Did it warm up enough for the kitties to show up for a bite to eat or are they all still holed up?

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Yes, it was about 47 when I fed them a couple of hours ago and now it’s 42. Supposed to get down to about 39, which was what it was when we woke up this morning. They have now disappeared. LOL!

How were things there? Did you get any more rain? Looks like your temp is very near what ours is right now.

[radu]

Sounds like it didn’t get much warmer thee than it did here. It made it up to 44 this afternoon. It’s 41 at the moment and the morning low will be around freezing.

I thought I’d get some rain this afternoon but it passed JUST to the north. Tullahoma got a little bit. Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be good with 1 to 2 inches predicted. Boy, do we need it!
