Hitting the sack, ladies, I’ll look forward to enjoying your company tomorrow!

[radu]

Sleep tight, PRO.
Hope your day's a quieter one tomorrow. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

They say we should have some rain coming. *sigh*

Stay warm!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I made it home...ice cream cake sitting on the counter to thaw enough to cut for Mom. She’s on the phone with her Texas kid with birthday wishes. Now everyone has checked in.

Now trying to get my desktop computer to boot up. The windows updates did their thing while I was at work and it’s not sure it wants to boot correctly.

[radu]

It sounds like your mom’s had a good day. Yay!
Gonna be even better one she digs into that ice cream cake. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Rich would be nice, wouldn’t it. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...has spring arrived for you? No more snow?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Ex...((HUGS))...glad your snow is melting each day.

Happy grilling!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Way late...haircut night. I had problems getting on my desktop tonight. *HUGS*

Hope you had a nice day and recovery is coming along. Trains running on time?

[radu]

LUV gets the 50!

Watching reruns of the day at the Decorah eagle nests and wasn't paying a bit of attention. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ya know...snowing is worthy of a rocking chair on the porch, with a nice warm blankie.

Too tame?

[luvie]

LOL! Thanks...I was hoping you were. heehee!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Always remembered. Thanks, Luv. ((HUGS))

[radu]

Too tame? Nope. CRAZY? Yep. LOL!
Snow is worth watching from inside where it’s warm!

Not much to watch this afternoon and evening. Itty bitty flakes, more like little pellets. Barely whitened up the railing around the deck.

[radu]

On the computer but wasn’t here. At Decorah instead. LOL

Waiting for it to get light in Hungary so I can check the nest cams to see what the weather’s like today. They had a gorgeous snowfall at one location yesterday at day break.

[Kathy in Alaska]

wh!!

Luv.....#50!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Ok...that doesn’t sound very exciting.

[radu]

No, it wasn’t. Could barely see the pellets unless I was standing outside.
Though they were brief, the snow showers we had yesterday and Monday were much prettier to watch. Big fluffy flakes.
