Great Road Trip, Lauren. 🚗🚙 Hope you’re having a good week.

I’m sitting outside, because it’s a picture-perfect twilight here. After all the wind we’ve had, this is so peaceful.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sorry I'm late. Got a payroll panic call just before posting.

Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[luvie]

Thanks! So far, so good. I think we are both ready for a day without the wind tearing through everything! LOL!

[radu]

Howdy, lauren.

I probably missed you, getting here so late. :-( Been one of those days.

I hope all’s going well. Did you get to step out to enjoy the eclipse today? You were in the path.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Another glorious day up there! And no pea soup fog to get it off to a slow start.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

You’re WHAT???? Sitting outside???? That’s a rare thing for you. LOL Did any of the kitties take advantage of the chance to hang out with you?

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

I DID!!! Hard to believe, huh. Grey hung out with me, but she was meowing like crazy, because I wasn’t feeding her RIGHT NOW!

Was it nice enough to be outside there?

[radu]

LOL! You can feed a cat and it will beg like it’s starving to death a couple of minutes later. Silly critters.

It was cooler than yesterday but still nice out. I went out to watch what we got of the eclipse. It was cloudy but we got a large opening for several minutes at just the right time. We got about 90% coverage here.

We got an inch and a half of rain while I slept and there were little puddles across the back yard. It’s going to be a sloppy mess here by the time this week’s rain is finished. The ground is already saturated .

[luvie]

We got 90%, too. We were shown this little trick with a colander and tried it. It was very cool!
