Howdy, Kathy.

Hump Day! Any sanity left after the past three days?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...did you escape rain today?

“They” have been hinting at some snow all day, but nary a flake at work....maybe when I get home.

And I am headed home now....back in a bit.

[luvie]

Always remembering them!
Praying for their safety.

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

This is really good!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

We had light rain today but I haven’t checked the rain gauge to see how much.

They’ve mentioned the chances for snow on the airport cam chat but I haven’t seen any on the cam yet. It looked like it would snow at any time all day up there though.
And it looks so c-c-c-c-c-c-cold.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Feeling back up to snuff by now? I hope so!

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Did the wind die down today or are y’all still choking on dust?

[luvie]

Hi, there! It was practically perfect today. High in the 50s and very little breeze. Lots of sun. All the kitties were very happy.

How was it over there? Still getting moldy?

[radu]

Yay! Glad things improved so nicely there.
Can we have some of that over here? LOL

Cloudy, cool, and light rain here. Dry tomorrow, then more showers Friday and maybe Sat. but temps will be decent. Then we get a few days of 60s!

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Kathy, Hugs

Evening all.

I’m home sick, it’s not corona.

Just me and the dogs

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Radu
Light snow falling.
It won’t amount to anything.

[luvie]

Very nice! You will enjoy being warm and dry for a change!

I’d just settle for some of that rain. We’re still dry and if we don’t get some before long, yesterday’s brown sky is going to get much worse.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Luvvy. Hugs

[Kathy in Alaska]

TAZ!!!! ((HUGS)) It is so good to see you, but so sorry you are sick.
Are you sick in town or on the farm?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Theophilous Meatyard III.

We thank you for your service to our country.

[radu]

Well howdy there, TAS! Long time, no see!
Bummer you’re getting snow. Snow means it’s cold! LOL
At least you aren’t going to get socked in.

[luvie]

Oh, my goodness! Howdy, you! (((hugs)))

Soooo good to see you! Hope all is well for you!

boy, those destroyer escorts were tiny, very tough, but tiny. Anyone who served on the small ships in the Pacific was a very brave man, IMO (not that all sailors were not as well, they were to man).

Their service and sacrifice made my life possible.
