Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

How are you doing tonight? I'm still sore from last night's PT - was hard to move most of the day. Still, making progress. I guess Tuesdays and Thursdays will be tough days for the next few weeks.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...LOTS of melting yesterday, but freezing temps over night. It was HORRID and white knuckle driving this morning. ICE, ICE, AND ICE. The main roads were all iced over.

Hope you have your sun back.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job!! Forward progress is a good thing.

I am headed home on streets that are awash with snow melt.

Back shortly.

[ConorMacNessa]

Safe Travel, Kathy!

Good evening, Fiji...thanks for the 1954 tunes. ((HUGS))

Hope you had a wonderful day. Is it spring at your house? It is trying really hard here in the day time, but not at night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[luvie]

ROFL!!! They kinda have the same affect on me! I almost had to post it with my eyes closed! ;)

[TASMANIANRED]

We’ve been short for weeks and weeks.

Sol’s wound is looking much better.

Kitty is filling in.

I’ve needed a hair cut for a long time.. Since Runamuck I don’t have the running around time that I used to have.

Not gonna need to throw the dice for a long time.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Luvvy, Hugs.

It’s been beautiful for days, gonna storm for the weekend.

[Fiji Hill]

Hope you had a wonderful day. Is it spring at your house? It is trying really hard here in the day time, but not at night.

It's cooler than normal, with clouds. I wish it would rain some more. We're in a bad drought.

[luvie]

Howdy there! Good to see you this evening! Hope you are geared up for a great weekend! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

Today is Thursday, right? Did you have PT tonight?

Well, of course it’ll storm...you’re off!

Would you come visit me? :)
