O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Taz!!!

((HUGS))

Where have you been?!! I've missed you. You just vanished one day.

[TASMANIANRED]

Right now, I’m freezing.

Kinda, sorta lost the key to the gate.

Spent 45 minutes out in the cold disassembling the gate to get out of the driveway.

At least it warmed up to 15 instead of the 5 below last night.

Gonna take a few minutes to feel my toes again.

Thank goodness for WD40

[luvie]

Thank you! If I remember, I’ll post it on the prayer thread! It had been hidden by Fotki for a very long time and I had forgotten I had it!

[luvie]

Howdy, Taz! ((((hugs))))

Hope you’re staying warm! :)

[SkyDancer]

Hi Katy!

A bit late but here. Temps in Charleville be 102F and overnight will be 76F - cooling trend coming where it'll drop to about 88F. Oh Goodie.

[luvie]

Howdy! :)

[ConorMacNessa]

Hate when that happens - can't stand being cold, and there's a lot of that going around. I can well understand why lots of people head south to retire.

Stay warm!

It’s cold here on the Georgia coast. It topped out at 45 today, and it’s going down to 20 tonight. You have to go to southern Florida to escape this.

[TASMANIANRED]

The powers that be constrained my ability to freep from work.

Combination of a croaked computer, and being out in the country accounted for the rest.

You guys have always been in my thoughts even if I couldn’t be here.

[Publius]

Well we’ve been thinking about you, too, Taz.

[TASMANIANRED]

I am so tired of winter.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Dancer, hugs

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Maestro! I thought you were in FL. I lived in the environs of Miami for six years. We had snow in Miami during my residence there.

I’ll bet you are as tired of winter as I was our extreme summer! LOL!

I relished the cooler weather...but not the ice storms that even we had! Ugh
