Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

Good evening, Luv...has any rain made it to OKC yet?

How is your newest little one? And how is her big sister?

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Nope, no sun just more rain and cold breezes......and a shopping expedition with my son. Perfect day to get a flu shot though....

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! It has been raining, slowly, all day and by the looks of the radar, it still is.

Callie is trying to figure it all out and Piper is just going with the flow. She seems very ok with having a little sister. :)
