[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.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is walking training coming along???

How’s your youngest student doing?

[Soaring Feather]

Hi,
Weather is up and down - a warm spell then cold. The trees are leafing out and some flowers are blooming. Someone said, we are in for snow, brrr! Well it warm up sometime.
Well, I saw Mr. Cardinal today, Mrs was around someplace.

Well, the home care person will make your mind easier. Birds are around, I like that.

HUGS

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...have you had a Maddi visit this week?

How is Grampa’s Fixit Shop doing?

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, home now. Saw my sister, BIL and my daughter, a great trip, indeed!

[left that other site]

Sorry to report that the youngest of my students discontinued today. He was unable to fit playing a piano key between alternately bouncing off the walls, swinging from the chandeliers, and spinning his fidget disc.

I told his parents that the door is always open, but I think it might not happen for a while.

BUT, Penny now recognizes me as the “Alpha’ and we are walking great!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no...more snow?

I heard a bit of a news report that someplace in Colorado, yesterday, was having huge size hail. Are you safe and sound?

[SandRat]

We won’t have a Maddi Day until this weekend. The Fix it Shop is waiting for new Maddi Tasks.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi radu, how goes it? I saw the kitten pics, so cute!

Your going to up to your ankles in kittens in a few weeks, LOL.

Please say Hello to all. HUGS

[ConorMacNessa]

The flowers are doing well, thanks. The weather has been cold lately - not that unusual for May. I've been inside for the most part this week - painting the kitchen and foyer.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

I LOVE that baby picture. Good evening, Luv. We will NEVER forget.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Publius, for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.

Have a wonderful trip.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home.....

[luvie]

May they always
remain in our hearts
...and rest in peace....

[SkyDancer]

I deadheaded back to Seattle from Atlanta and arrived home yesterday around 7pm. I’ve some off but still need to get my 60 hours in for the month. I’m sure I’ll make it okay.

[luvie]

Hi, Kathy! ((((hugs))))

I love it, too! It makes me smile! Our troops love their families so much and have to spend so much time away from them!

[luvie]

We’ll miss your American Songbook but hope you are having fun wherever you are! :)
