Just a quick, G’Day, Janey...((HUGS))

Hope your Thursday is going well.

[AZamericonnie]

I think me & the week have made peace thus far. :)

I must admit that the weather in the last couple of days has got me in the spring fever mode.

Ugh....that means cleaning closets! Why did I bring that up? lol

[ConorMacNessa]

Outstanding, Connie! Thanks very much!



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Good evening, AZ...thank you for the red, white, and blue Tribute to Our Troops.

Hope your day went well, and you didn’t encounter any piggies on your commute home. *HUGS*

Snow and then temps above freezing and then some more snow. White is much prettier than ugly, dirty mush.

ARGH!
We are about to get CLOBBERED by a Nor’Easter.
Through central Maine, we are expected to get 12 to 18 inches of snow.

The bulk of the storm will hit on Friday.
Thankfully, I have that day off.
Saturday however, will be really tricky to drive in, I HAVE to work this weekend.
We will be spending the next few days getting ready for power outages, bringing in lots of wood, pouring water into containers, etc.
*sigh*

[mylife]

Please send it here.

78 degree temps in Texas during Feb are unnatural!!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

“78 degree temps”

WAAAAAAAA!!!!
*sniff*

[mylife]

Seriously, 78 in early Feb can make for a very long Summer.

Whaaah!!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Digging out from this storm is gonna be awful..
I hope we don’t lose the power.
Good ting we have that old kitchen wood stove!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no, ms b...make sure your rearranged freezer doesn’t lose power, or put stuff outside.

Glad you have Friday off, and a little bit of time to prepare....thank goodness you have a wood stove!

You and Moxie be REALLY careful driving on Saturday. Prayers going with you. Stay with Dawn if you need to...be safe first!!

(((HUGS)))

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
I’ll be careful, Ma.
Will touch bases with Dawn in the morning.
Best thing we can do if the power quits (aside from keeping warm) is to NOT open the freezer while the power is down.
Depending on how long the outages last, we will transfer stuff outside to keep it frozen if we have to!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sounds like a solid plan....

Stay safe and stay warm!
