Good evening LUV and (((HUGS))). Just got home from work. Feet are a bit tired today, but I like this a lot more than spending six hours riding around in a truck and checking facilities.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Woohoo....the Thursday Happy Dance. Thank goodness. I’m going to make it to Thursday. What a week so far.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...healing still going well? 6+ inches down to 1 1/2 sounds really good. Sounds like you did a good job of taking care of that booboo.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Is your superstar student the one who wants to sing? You will have fun with that.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Home safe and sound. Met with Mom questions about looking up statements, printing, and “since you are already here, would you go ahead and pay the Visa bill?”

Finally relaxing after 3 days of wall to wall work....I can feel the zzzzzzz monster approaching. LOL!

[luvie]

It’s coming! I can almost hear it as well! :)

[luvie]

Howdy! (((hugs)))

I know how you feel with tired feet. I work on my feet, too. You do
tend to get used to it after a while. But, yes, I know you must be ready to put them up for a while.

Hope you continue to like this job! Mrs. Arrow might want some nice
flowers or decorations while you’re at it! :)

Snoopy's Weekend's a'comin' dance! :)

I'm mounting the spiral staircase to Boudoir MacNessa as we speak. Rest well and sweet dreams, Kathy!

Rest Easy, Kathy!
And May Angels Guard Thee
‘Til Morn!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I spent the better part of my eight hour shift standing today. I had about half an hour putting together several power tools, but that was in an area with no AC. Time for me to hit the pillow. Wife is visiting a family friend in Corpus Christi for a few days.
