Good Morning Bentfeather! Thanks for the Blessing!

[minor49er]

You have one of the most adorable cats I've ever seen.
I'd post a picture of my cat, Honda, but I can't figure out how.
And my cat likes to lay on the bed as well. And we used to have a water bed but that was until my old cat broke it.
And my cat gets into mischief, too.

[Soaring Feather]

Ohhhh good, you have found my publicity shot!
I was getting worried that it would not see the light of day again.
I appreciate this so much Tom!!!

[beachn4fun]

Good morning SH! Top of the morning to you!!

It's a pleasure to post the Blessing for the troops.

[beachn4fun]

Wait just a daug-gone minute.....that is NOT BARRY!

[minor49er]

It's not that I'm catching on quick. It's that he's asked if I want to buy a burka 5 times already. And 3 of those are from the past 2 days.
And I had a feeling that he was going to ask again.

[Soaring Feather]

ohhhh don't worry Barry knew about this. Tomkow was just being his Burka Man self. He started the story about ms feather running off with a sailor.

Just publicity.

[SouthernHawk]

No, I'm afraid not. It is still a LONG way off.

Next spring (late April or early May).

[E.G.C.]

Well, we had some storms move though parts of Oklahoma. There was some wind damage in the Norman area but the storms seem to calm down now.

I'll say this much it feels a little bit cool here 74 degrees at my location:-D

[SouthernHawk]

[beachn4fun]

Whew! It's a good thing he knows that you do many things to help our military.

But did you know about this?

[minor49er]

Why are you laughing?

[Soaring Feather]

I did not know about it, but it's fine with me. Barry was a wonderful, loving, human being. Lovely picture.

I'm sure there are many pictures taken of Barry and a fan.
