Got your firewood all cut, stacked, and ready for winter?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie, and thanks for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Is your commute getting better and summer passes into fall?

It’s raining again here.

Hi Kathy!

Tuesday’s are still terrible, but, it’s a living.

I can’t wait for mom to get home so i can talk on the phone with her again.

Next week, I think that will be.

[Publius]

Burning the midday oil to get Rockumentary ready for this weekend. Unbelievably great stuff from 1961.

[Kathy in Alaska]

That is good news! Do they have modern computers, too?

[AZamericonnie]

The Osprey ping! :)

We are still hitting triple digits. *sigh*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...thanks for always remembering our heroes.

How are the grandkidlets? Missing Grammie?

[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.

[MEG33]

Still hot but not as hot in the afternoons!
Mornings are nice.

Back is better after rebelling against getting 3 kitties to the vet last week..My daughter carried them...but I got them in the carriers.

My pleasure, (((Kathy)))

[MoochPooch]

Hi Kathy! Regards from NYC, as always!

My sister would have loved to watch the pony run, since she really liked horses. Her B-day would have been today (10/15).

[Kathy in Alaska]

She’s a busy lady. Hope she’s working on confidence too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no....still triple digits. Commuting could be a chore.

Oh...22 ducks last night. d:o)

[left that other site]

Confidence is the hardest thing!

[Kathy in Alaska]

...but I got them in the carriers.

No wonder your back rebelled...that is a tough job. I had to make sure mine never saw the carriers ahead of time.

[ConorMacNessa]

They have small clients and dual wide screen HD monitors - the only way to review documents! I'm in hog heaven. Their IT is great, too - I had problems getting through the labyrinthine layers of security they use - support was great.

I worked for this law firm - a top-drawer outfit - several years ago. It was good then and it's good now.
