Just a thought!

Good morning Ms. Linda. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Please to remember to wear a mask over your mouth while visiting the Canteen. Do you realize what it would be like if everyone at the Canteen got sick at the same time and no one showed up? OMG.....LOL Seriously, if it is the flu, you must go immediately to bed....rest...fluids.....etc.

[beachn4fun]

Morning Diva. Thanks for the history lesson. Have a good day.

[beachn4fun]

Morin' EG. ((Hugs)) My, but you are early today. Right in behind Diva.

[beachn4fun]

Mornin' Mr. Tonk. Thank you for the lovely flowers.

[beachn4fun]

Mornin' Diva Betsy. Sounds like you need some of this......

[E.G.C.]

(HUGS)Right back at'ya. How's it going?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning. Where in Michigan are you? My husband is from Michigan and has family in the New Baltimore area.

[Soaring Feather]

[beachn4fun]

Good morning tomkow. Thank you for share that vast well of knowledge. Now I understand better why that spare tire just refuses to leave me. It is truly faithful!

[tiamat]

Good morning to you!

We live about 12 miles West of Ann Arbor, smack between the two small towns of Manchester and Chelsea in farm country!

I've never been to New Baltimore.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Ms. Feather. Thanks for the blessing. Would you please keep your little blinky sign on the ready? I see in tom's tagline, he mentions burka. That usually means a warning. I think we need to be prepared.

[beachn4fun]

Well, I've never been to Ann Arbor yet. But, I hope to see more of Michigan when we go up for visits. Kinda hard when your husband hasn't been home to see family in 2 or 3 years. Zeros in on New Baltimore and then back to Maryland. LOL.

[beachn4fun]

Going well so far. I'm kinda hoping to be able to get outside for a walk today. Suppose to be another warm day (50s) before our temps start a nose-dive! Have a good day yourself.
