Coincidence? I think not, too.

You traded solos...did you sing together?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

Nighty-night, Sandy! Sleep well!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yesterday was really good in the afternoon/evening and I had almost no homework.

But I got home to my Mom's flooded bathroom. She'd been using a mop and trying to get rid of some of the water. By the time I got everything cleaned up and dried out and done the wet laundry, I wanted nothing except going to bed.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique.

radu.....#50!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, Sand. Thanks for helping honor our troops. And thank you for your service to our country.

What a bummer to get home to last night. That’s not the bathroom with the new tub, is it? Just wondering if she’d tried to take a bath and didn’t close the tub door properly.

I hope things are going better tonight.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Not the walk-in tub. Never say never, but I really don’t think she would even think of trying it alone. Fortunately the bathroom is only about 5’ x 8’ but there was water everywhere.

But, it is all clean and dry now.

Pretty good tonight, but I have a fierce headache that is just about to drive me to bed.

Sleep well when you get there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

[radu]

At least it was a small room to dry out but still not a fun ordeal. Glad things have gone more smoothly tonight - - except for that headache.

Hope you’re able to get a good night’s sleep.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.
