Sorry your summer has been less than stellar. Hope you and the kids were able to get a little fun time in the blur.
Our summer has been the lowest temps in forever. Very dry beginning, but it has made up for it with lots of rain. Can’t complain tho...better than drought that so many have experienced.
Glad you could visit this evening. You’ve been missed.

Good evening, AZ...hope your day went well. Our ducks are getting big enough that the boys are starting to get “green hair”. The boys and girls look alike til the “green hair”.
Hmmmm....overhead is sunshine, but looking out the window I see rain clouds and think I may have heard some thunder. Let it rain!!

Aloha Hawaii.....an Alzheimer update doesn’t sound good. Maybe a retirement home is in the offing. Maybe you can scare it into behaving.
You were very brave to watch “it”. I couldn’t bring myself to do so.

It will be intersesting to see if we have ducks next year considering the females demise. Too sad....
You still have sunshine? I just can’t imagine!
Wishing you rain for sure!!!
I heard today that perhaps your Governer was vetted. A fine lady she is.
This kiddo is beat & I’m headed for bed.
Sweet dreams to all! *Hugs*

"....taking a long time to post here!"It has been awful....I've been up and down while waiting for reply windows to open, and then finally to post. It seems to have picked up now, maybe because "it" in over. Uneventful commute home? *HUGS*

Aloha Luv!
Queen Sheila is on now.....the congresswoman who wanted the Mars Rover to visit the site of the American flag left by our Lunar Landing esplorers.
On the bright side.....tomorrow's Friday and Monday is Labor Day! I'm looking forward to another 1 day weekend! I work for a Dem.

Poor you!
I don’t much care for my manager, but we CAN talk politics,
because she is conservative, too.
Enjoy your weekend!
Guess I’d better go. Gotta get up early (well, 6:30ish) in
the morning and I am sorta sinking.
Good to get your “tap” tonight, Big Guy!

Holy smokes.....the sky has opened up & the rain is dropping in buckets.
The weird thing is that there are constant flashes of lightening. Like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
The lights are dimming from time to time.
Just got ahold of sonboy who is on the freeway. He’s pulled over along the side of the road. Zero visability & amps in the back of the truck as they just played a show.
Signing off.....
To: AZamericonnie
Aloha Connie!
I don't do drugs.....I've become immune to these sorts of things and while it raises my blood pressure from time to time, I return to normal quickly. Having a PC that disobeys is a different story.
