Aloha again Night Owl!

Hmmmm.....took a moment to recall who Greg Giles is......once I'd recalled it was easy to remember his other daughter. Very fetching.

Yesterday was damp and drizzly, today, sunny and warm and who knows what tomorrow will bring other than the weekend....and some more rain.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul. ((HUGS))

[SandRat]

Does that mean you “have” to go back to work, too? That’s one of those mixed blessings we hear so much about! LOL!

Nope it will be a blessing.

Once the Doc sends a fax to my boss saying I'm cleared to return to duty and my boss gets that to our company insurance and they record it; then I'll get a come back to work order.

[luvie]

Howdy, Taz! (((hugs)))

It’s been a while since I saw you. Did we just miss each other?

Hope you and your sweet sister are doing good. How is your
garden coming along?

Hubby’s peas are now harvested...I think we have enough for
2 people in the freezer...and now he’s on to okra. It’s just
coming up. We’ll see what happens!

Meanwhile...we have lilies just bursting!

[PROCON]

Taz (((HUGS)))!

What's up, girlfriend?!

You're probably working tonight; thanks for gracing us with your dainty presence!

You getting any good weather finally?

Any work out at the mansion?

Evening BigLook, Hugs across the water.

[TASMANIANRED]

I bet you are chomping at the bit.

[TASMANIANRED]

My garden in town is doing well.. Runamuck not so much.

Okra likes it hot..the hotter the better.

Libby started radiation this week. Doing fine with it..

Bet the lilies are lovely. My lavender is in bloom.

[Kathy in Alaska]

This is the new book he wrote. Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe did an undercover video at an ACORN office. ACORN got busted BIG time.

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m off tonight then back for my long stretch.

Lotta mowing at Runamuck.

This week has been hot and sunny...finally.

After almost 2 solid months of rain. I thought I was in Seattle.

[SandRat]

After the CAT scan Mrs.SR and I went to RED Slobster to celebrate. I chopped down the Admiral's Fest Platter. Then I went quilt supply shopping with her. LOL

[TASMANIANRED]

Sounds delish. Makes you not mind shopping for “dry goods”.

There’s an old fashioned term ...

[PROCON]

Well, darn! We were looking forward to ScuttleBUTT II!

Well, then...

By popular demand....

Me "Neked"II

Circa 1951, Sheesh, am I THAT old?!

[luvie]

This is one of the lilies. Not sure what it's called.
We have some "plain ole" day lilies, too.
Glad your lavender is blooming. It won't grow here. :(
Prayers for Libby to get through the radiation with flying colors!
