Good morning Meg and (((HUGS))) to all the ladies.

[MEG33]

Good Morning, AH
(((HUGS)))

[Old Sarge]

Morning, Sarmajor!

And a good morning to all the lovely Ladies!

Well, the big news out of Florida is: Disease. Last week sometime, one of the daughters brought home from school something extra: a mutant sinus infection from the gymnasium.

Kid was coughing and miserable for a day or two. Then Sarge got it, and it laid him low for three days. Now as of yesterday, The Bride is sick, to the point of calling in sick from duty this morning.

Sarge tucked The Bride into bed with a cup of coffee and English muffins with a side of NyQuil and Mucinex. We’ll see how she fares later today. So far, the elder daughter hasn’t so much as sniffled; her smug grin is truly insufferable...

Well, the day rolls on, so Let’s Have Fun!

[beachn4fun]

Good morning dear ((HUGS))

Hope you get to see the shuttle.

I didn’t get to see it when it came to DC - that’s the downside of not paying attention to the news.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

All is well. Had a good walk, although walk buddy is too slow for me.

Howz it out your way?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Meg ((HUGS))

How are the allergies this morning?

[MEG33]

There..AH Choo!
;o)

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning beachy and (((HUGS))) to you too.

It is totally overcast so we missed the shuttle.

[E.G.C.]

Going OK here in Oklahoma. My brother began his 8 day outpatient treatment at the hospital yesterday.

Later this morning, I'm going to take Bo out to the vet for his monthly round of flea spray.

[luvie]

Ok...I have one eye open!
Gimme another hour [and tea] and the other one will be!
It's my day off and I got up too darn early!
Hope all of you are chipper, Early Birds!
...or that you get to go home early!
Hope everyone is well soon, Sarge!
((((hugs))))

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning LUV and (((HUGS))) to you.

[luvie]

Howdy, Arrow! (((hugs)))

Is it nice and cool there for you? I hope it doesn’t get up
to the 90 that is predicted. I’m lovin’ the cool air coming
in with the doors being open!

How is the garden progressing? Have the neighbors started
counting the days till they have more fresh veggies?

[beachn4fun]

LOL

Bless you

[beachn4fun]

It is totally overcast so we missed the shuttle.

bummer...

[beachn4fun]

Hope your brother is well soon.

Guess Bo won’t be too happy today.

[beachn4fun]

Woooo....weeeeee, night owl...looking kind of rough this morning. I think you need something stronger than tea...have a cup of joe.

((HUGS))

[luvie]

LOL! Well, I don't like coffee, but I'm about to start on the diet coke any minute! :)
