Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. 72º now, but headed for upper 90s again.

It sure is Kathy! I just mourn for my country more and more each year along with the fallen from that day. I want AMERICA back!

[luvie]

Gooood mornin', Early Birds!
I finally managed to sleep past 7:30...
...all the way to 7:55! LOL!
It's beautifully cool (69) this morning
...and I think I see the weekend coming around the corner!
All you have a GREAT day!

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

It’s all good today. A very nice day off!

How are you and Bo doing? Hope you have had a chance to
go to the lake lately! :)

[E.G.C.]

Had a great timeout at the lake yesterday.

My sister-in-law and niece stopped by for a very brief visit. They're up in Oklahoma City visiting my sister and her family.

[luvie]

Glad you had some company!

I’ll be heading up to OK next week. Time to see how much
my granddaughters have grown in the past 6 months. I just
don’t get a chance to make the drive often enough!
