Oops! My FR has been terribly slow this evening and is just now starting to speed back up. How’s that for an excuse? The truth is probably closer to I keep nodding off. It’s only 9:40p, but it’s been a busy week and sleep came second. d:o)
I wish I had a hot tub like that....some day.

Hi y'all! Just got back from the pool. We go in the mornings on our off day to beat the crowds. It was nice, we had fun and now that the temps are starting to rise, it's time to retreat indoors. I'm looking through my DVD collection right now. ;-)
I hope all is well with both of you.

Good morning, Pusterfuss...((HUGS)...we are the same temp. More sprinkles off and one, with probably more to come. It will rain at least 1 day over the weekend, as this is the State Fair weekend.
