Hi Beachi .....

Howdy, beachy. *HUGZ*

I hope it isn’t a washout this weekend. As slow as the system is creeping, once rain arrives, it’ll probably be there a while. Maybe it’ll break up into scattered showers like it has on this end.

Happy Vacation, Beachie!

To be honest, being retired is a 24/7/365 vacation for me, LOL

I'm doing fine, our weather is beautimous, don't have too much fun!

[luvie]

Enjoy your vacation!
We will be doing that next week!
WoooHooo!!

[luvie]

Howdy, Janey! Flyin' high this week? 🛫🛬

[beachn4fun]

Good evening night owl ((HUGS))

We are so far but it may be a rainy one. {{sigh}}
Today was just windy and cloudy.
Tomorrow we’ll have half of the day the same before rain.

Where are y’all going?

[beachn4fun]

Good evening Janey ((HUGS))

Hope you have an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.

[luvie]

I hope it doesn’t rain too much so you can enjoy youselves.

We’re going to see the kids in Brian/College Station. I’m looking forward to seeing them all.

[beachn4fun]

Good evening Pro ((HUGS))

Yeah I know being retired is like a vacation, but this is a real vacation from the retirement vacation. LOL

Enjoy that beautimous weather and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

[beachn4fun]

That’s a nice vacation.
Enjoy!

We’re with our oldest son, his wife, her parents, and her daughter. So, two in one, good vacation.

[beachn4fun]

Good evening du ((HUGS))

Looks like we’ll have a half day tomorrow with just windy and cloudy conditions, but Saturday and Sunday may be all day. But we’ll do what we can.

Hope your weekend isn’t soggy.
Happy Memorial Day weekend.

[beachn4fun]

Ok, gang, I’m off to try out the big bed and hope to get a restful sleep.
I’ll catch up with everyone in the morning.

[luvie]

Sounds perfect! Just find a good movie to watch when the rain falls. :)

Nighty-night, Early Bird! 💤🛌

[radu]

We have rain strong chances into next week so outdoor activities will be pretty much non-existent. I don’t have any plans, though, like you do. Let the rain stay here and let y’all have some fun!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

I hope it didn’t warm up too much today.

Coolish and soupy here.
