[Kathy in Alaska]

[HiJinx]

Hi Taz!! Long time no see!!
No, wait a minute, it hasn’t been that long, really.
Just seems like it with all this work getting in the way.

I need a vacation.

[TASMANIANRED]

Great DooWop song.

[Kathy in Alaska]

10K...boy, you all should be tuckered out!

[TASMANIANRED]

2 seasons a year?

[SandRat]

Well,.. If it clears your sinuses, peels the wallpaper of the wall from 20’ away, strips old paint and varnish off wood on contact - it’s just right. LOL

Right Jinx?

[TASMANIANRED]

I’ve been busy at home the past few days.

Back to the salt mines tomorrow.

Last week was a bear, we will be working short again tomorrow..

[SandRat]

all kidding aside.. If you like it and it has a full bodied flavor then its good.

[luvie]

Hmmmmm...a picnic? That would be different for us! There
aren’t many places to have a picnic around here, but maybe
in the back yard would be good!

I am glad you are having good weather, too! Take as much
advantage of it as you can!

[TASMANIANRED]

The girls sure are...Both of them are snoring right now.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv....how was your day? Mine got snowy mid-morning, but it’s warming up and it should start melting.

[TASMANIANRED]

Had to get my hubby to wipe my nose while I was chopping peppers, I didn’t want to put my hands near my face.

For sure passed the sinus test.

[TASMANIANRED]

3 kinds of peppers from my garden and then some green chilies from a can.

[HiJinx]

Right!!

Kinda like Vi’s salsa rojo. It’s a shame she went over to the dark side...

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is mating season.

[TASMANIANRED]

I’ve really enjoyed getting out with the girls..

Trees are just beginning to turn...What’s left of them after the storm.

Still have a lot of debris that hasn’t been picked up.

[HiJinx]

Working short is bad. Hang in there - you’ll get your turn at time off.
