[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...Mom report?

Are you having some summer lessons?

Still hot?

[left that other site]

Mom is stabilized, but this is going to take some time.

I had three lessons today, and it’s still in the 90’s. But, I really like it when i9 have work to do. I get very lazy sitting around the house all day!

[Kathy in Alaska]

The truth for sure from MOH recipient Dakota Meyer.

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...proctoring this week?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...you are welcome. Today has been rough. I’m beat!

Do you have the rest of the week off?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, ML!

*HUGS*

It's great to see you this evening!

Hi, Ya, been proctoring and getting some re-certifications for myself done. I have to do a written and oral exam once a year and it’s come due. Not a problem though.

[luvie]

I'm going for
"Throwback Thursday--FReeper CAnteen-August 12, 2005" :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion...I hate Windows 8!

[left that other site]

Ave et Vale, my friend...I am hitting the sack...LOL!

[PROCON]

Yup, off til at least Monday.

Zach and I went to the gun range today and had a "Blast" in many ways.

[left that other site]

That was a few years before my time! :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, cardiologist, for the good report.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...did you have a good Maddi Tuesday and Wednesday? Get to play outside?

[Kathy in Alaska]

RIP

Amazing Grace

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...glad he’s doing better, and glad you got to visit.

Trying to rain here. They say real RAIN tonight.

[luvie]

It was so fun to read though and remember what was happening and all the “oldtimers” who are now gone for one reason or the other. :)

You’ll be part of the Throwback Thursdays of the future. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sleep tight, ML...((HUGS))

[ConorMacNessa]

It is good that things are cool on the cardio side - I think riding the train, and the walking it involves, has helped. David and John-Man have both asked me about working out - and John-Man has brought the weight bench out of the nether regions. The prospects look good for some regular Family MacNessa workouts!
