Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Nice to see you and Gizmo had a nice day for your outing yesterday. I was afraid it might rain y’all out of your fun.
Woohoo!!! Some rain for the corn!! And hurrah for your lower temps.
Rain here has been coming and going all day. It’s back now.
You get an A for multi-tasking!!
No problem, Pro...raining off and on. It’s lovely!
The corn doesn’t need rain any more. It’s reached the end of growing time now. Even with regular rain, it would be dying now. Time for it to start drying out for harvest in the fall. Everything else needs rain though.
The cooler temps are definitely appreciated though! It’s still going to be warm but not sweltering and I can live with warm.
Nice to see y’all have been getting some decent rain at long last. Coming down the right way too. Not all at once where it runs off but a little at a time so it soaks in. It’s already a lot greener around the airports.
Good morning, luvie...we MUST pray for them. Such an uncertain future.
Good morning, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hurrah for us...we made it thru hump day!!
Good morning, E...((HUGS))...looks like Gizmo found fun things to do at Wichita Ridge.
You guys have more fun today.

What to know about Milwaukee’s Bill Pekrul, a decorated WWII veteran and RNC speaker
Pekrul also described his time serving in Belgium, when his feet froze overnight after a heroic act. He had pulled his platoon leader, who had been shot, into a basement, where they waited all night in below-zero temperatures as German soldiers walked across the floors above. Pekrul survived and was awarded the Silver Star for the act.
He spent a month-and-a-half in an English hospital, where his feet healed. He then went back into the 75th Infantry and fought until the war’s end. He was discharged in 1946 and met his wife one week after he returned. They have been married for 76 years & have 11 children.
It is an uncertain future, but our troops will persevere! And will continue to keep our beautiful country safe!
