Good afternoon, Kathy!

*HUGS*

We're holding in the low 40's this afternoon - high winds though. I was over to see my cardiologist and the wind was so strong it blew the door of my car shut.

No shorts and t-shirt.

It was this afternoon. I never got into shorts, but the blue jeans got warm.

Yeah, the blokes here think it’s funny to go and get them and put them in the ladies. First time I freaked, second and third time as well. Then I learned to walk around with wasp spray. I once saw a wall clock with just those feet sticking out. The clock was a foot in diameter. Things though just get interesting. LOL

Still catching up....

“We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”

How true this is. Thanks, AZ .44 MAG.
