Today was gorgeous, and we got both Hike and Bike in today before the T-Storms hit!
Last night was Pub Night, and my bass student and I played together. I was awesome.

Hey there. ‘Du!
It was a gorgeous day up here!
Sunny, breezy and in the low 70’s.
Tigermaus is ALWAYS a brat!
Last week he vomited quite a lot one day,
and I was worried!
It did not last longer than that one day, and he’s back to normal!

We got sort of a break today and will tomorrow. We had huge rain clouds in the area, but guess what? They went around us. Again! This is what it's going to be like next week. I'm ready to leave for somewhere cool! LOL! At least for the summer!
Check out next Friday. Blech!
Hope y'all are having pretty and not-so-hot weather!

Ooooooo, your weather sounds delightful!
88 and steamy here today. Not much fun going to the grocery store in the muggy mess but it had to be done.
At least you just have the one brat. I’m vastly outnumbered by brats here. LOL! But we can’t help but love ‘em, can we?
Sounds like he had a tummy bug, which isn’t uncommon. Glad it only lasted a day. Sometimes, 48 hour bugs make the rounds. :-(

UGH!!! TOO HOT!!!
Might be time to plan a LONG trip to JH. LOL
Not quite that hot here but we have the humidity that makes it feel hotter than the thermometer reads. 88 today and a little hotter tomorrow, with no rain. Then rain comes in from a system over the Gulf that’ll start moving this-a-way. We’ll have a soggy holiday weekend.

Real Men Stand for Our National Anthem!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
"The Star Spangled Banner" Verse Four (Click)
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
