((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[MEG33]

Glad you are safe at home and had a good sleep..Bummer that it’s a work day.
(((HUGS)))

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. It's a chilly 45º here this morning.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning ladies and (((HUGS))).

[MEG33]

Good Morning, AH...Chilly here today.

(((HUGS)))

[Arrowhead1952]

Yep, sure is nice weather for outside work. I’m debating if I should take the pup walking now or later.

[Lady Jag]

It's been sunny here two days in a row and it's a wonderful change from rain and snow.

[Arrowhead1952]

We are in the upper 40s today and may hit 60 later when the sun comes out. I was almost cold on my walk today. I had to wear a jacket.

[Lady Jag]

We’re mid-40ºs today and being almost 12:30 pm, it’s not expected to get much warmer. Spring is trying to break out from a nasty winter.

At least we didn’t get snow today like Kansas did.

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good Thursday afternoon, L.J. How’s it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, E...((HUGS))...are you getting more rain? Is your water supply getting better?

Have a great Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Too bad that this will probably taint her willingness to learn. *sigh*

Hopefully you can keep the interest alive. Good luck. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Meg...((HUGS))...more rain? Hope so!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, beachy...((HUGS))
Hit and run....taking the afternoon off to take my Mom to the dentist.
She lost a crown last week.

Happy rest of Thursday.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Kathy..No rain ..The heat is turned on, though..We are in the chilly 40s.

(((HUGS)))

[E.G.C.]

Well, I just finished doing some grass cutting work. Resting up just a little bit.

More rain is in the forecast for next week. They're saying this rain may help put an end to the drought in parts of Oklahoma. We'll see.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks...I found this “diary” looking thru his things for military discharge papers. I hadn’t heard these stories before and am enjoying sharing them.

[left that other site]

The parents called and discontinued lessons.

I said...”No Harm no foul” when she’s ready, the door is open.
