Good morning LUV and (((HUGS))). I am hoping for rain too.

[Arrowhead1952]

It has been drizzling this morning. There was lightning in the distance when I was working last night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, E...((HUGS))...you and Bo enjoy your Thursday.

Chilly here this morning...working its way back up to 32F.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue Tribute to Our Troops.

Have a wonderful and easy work day. *HUGS*

[Kathy in Alaska]

She laughed & smiled, make sweet noises all day to me, except for 1 hr map in my arms while I sat in the Lazy Boy and rocked her.

Rough duty, but I expect you did it really well. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Mac...*HUGS*...hope work is going well today.

Life happens...hope you got your email out ok.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy! ***HUGS*** How are you doing today?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, ML...((HUGS))

Hope you and Linda are having good lessons today and the sun is shining.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Luv....we MUST always remember them.

Have a great Thursday.

[left that other site]

It is an absolutely Gorgeous Day!

I am off to work.

[luvie]

Hope you’re having a good day, too, Kathy! (((hugs)))

How is your dad doing? I have been meaning to ask...sorry to be so slow at it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He was in bed when I got home, so I didn’t get a chance to check the wound site...maybe tonight. He seems to be doing fine...my Mom said he was pretty uncooperative yesterday, not wanting to get up. He needs to keep moving. I don’t know yet if he is using the walker all the time. I do know he’s not making sure to let one of us know when he gets off the bed. Nothing we can do but “nag”. He is responsible.

The carpet guy came yesterday and did a good job of getting most of the blood out of the carpet. Several have suggested OxiClean, so I’ll get some and see how it works.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I missed you...*HUGS*...hope your Thursday is going super.

Mine is pretty good. Lots of paperwork is getting handled.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sunrise.....8:33am

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique, for the cheerguys.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Too late, but HAPPY THURSDAY, beachy...((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...hope the muggies have gone away and you have RAIN.

[oldteen]

You've sure had your hands full lately (more than usual!)

Hope your Dad heals quickly and by the weekend you are able to just RELAX and not have to worry about anyone or anything!

(((((HUGS)))))
