We had a grand day. She sort of crawls and scoots all over the house and she’s fast, really fast.

She has two teeth and we think another is erupting.

((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Horrific for sure....prayers for the whole town.

[AZamericonnie]

May I just say...your Mom rocks! LOL

[AZamericonnie]

*Goodnight America!*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...have you gotten your sunshine back yet?

Did you have your bestest students today?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, laplata...((HUGS))...did you have a good day?

Great rendition of our Star Spangled Banner for sure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What Connie said, Nana Hope.

Health and welfare check. Hope all is well.

Are you anywhere near the huge fire in West?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, Connie.

[Kathy in Alaska]

My Dad used to make himself a baked potato every night. My Mom just found the bag....lots of growing tentacles. She said she will be using potatoes frequently. LOL!

[laplata]

Hi and good evening to you, Kathy. It’s always so nice to hear from you and I mean that.

You are the one who deserves a good evening from what I see of what you wrote of your day. LOL

And Hugs to you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

SOMEthing is wrong with the payroll system, and we expected it to be fixed for this week. We pay every 2 weeks, but have 2 cycles...thus a new payroll each week. Last week we had to enter a max of 8 employees at a time, 1100+, rather that one button push. We expected it to be fixed for this week, 1000+, ....WRONG!

We are going to make a lot of noise tomorrow about someone letting us in on what is going on.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good luck with your recall. Gun grabbers had better start getting the message.

[laplata]

Wow, I don’t know how you do it and then do all your other things, including all the great things you do on FR.

I don’t know what to say except hang in there and keep up your positive attitude.

I bet they’ll “hear” you tomorrow. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[laplata]

Good luck with your recall. Gun grabbers had better start getting the message.

Thanks. We’re recalling a RINO who is a Veteran. He is already apologizing.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique, for the shuttle.

laplata.....#50!!

[laplata]

Awesome!

Thanks, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thank you, PFC Jacklyn H (Jack) Lucas, USMC, Medal of Honor Recipient, for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

G-Pa has to keep a close eye on her...can’t let her get away. LOL!
