Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Did you keep Gizmo on the leash yesterday so you wouldn’t have to wear yourself out chasing him down? :-)

[E.G.C.]

We actually walked the beach yesterday. Gizmo did some rolling around in the dirt. Nice weather yesterday. Feels a little cooler this morning.

I didn’t think ANYthing was worse than ancient Avon! LOL!

Goood mornin', Early Birds!
It's a nice cool almost-fall feeling day.
Lots of bright sunshine
....and very little wind.
If I didn't think the mosquitoes had their little sweaters on...
....I'd sit outside with the kitties.
Hope y'all have a Thrilling Thursday!
(((hugs)))

It sounds like Gizmo had a great time yesterday - dirt to roll in! LOL

It’s definitely cooler here today. We haven’t gotten out of the 50s.

I didn't either until last night! LOL I'm still coughing and blowing that crud out.
