Too crazy for my taste! LOL
I did see stars at the Lodge at Palisades cam a little while ago. There was a big gap in the clouds.
I went back a little ways on a couple of the cams and it’s greening up nicely in some areas. Very pretty.

Good morning everyone.
A drive-by post to let you know I am still around.
My (former) FIL recently turned 88, lives alone, and his health is suffering. I have been doing the morning shift of going by his house and sitting with him until one of his daughters arrives. He goes in for a heart procedure next week so I will have time to visit Monday and Tuesday, and maybe, Wednesday assuming he isn’t back home yet.
His name is Carl for those so inclined to pray for him during his procedure next Tuesday. Thank you.
I must sign off so I can take the two girls for a quick walk before I need to take off.
Thank you to all of our AWESOME military, our Allies, and their families for your continued sacrifice and service.

I’m trying! But it is getting harder. I can just hear the $$$$ rolling out the AC vents! I won’t be going out after noon or before 9pm. Even the bricks on the west side where our patio is will be radiating heat after the sun goes down. Blech!
Sandy, Mr P and Jinxy, I know y’all know what I mean!

Gooooood..er..afternoon, Early Birds!
I slept in!
Of course, I stayed up way too late, too!
Normal for the Night Owl...right?
It's warming up here and very pretty.
What's going on in YOUR 'hood?
Hope you're planning something Memorial for the Weekend!
We need to think of and thank our troops!
((((hugs))))

Good morning Ma ((HUGS))
Thanks to everyone praying for him.
The last I heard, FIL/Carl checked into the hospital yesterday for pre-op routine. His TAVR procedure is schedule for this morning. One SIL is supposed to keep me posted, throughout the day and tomorrow. He is in good hands as my mom says it’s the best.
Once he’s home, I imagine I’ll be back on morning shift (no internet there and crappy cell reception), but will let you know as soon as I can.
