It reminds me of a very old poem of Horatius and his stand at the bridge.

(McCauley’s Lays of Ancient Rome)

Howdy, Kathy.
How’d your day go? Did you ever get any rain?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Eagle6...a book well read. Thanks for sharing.

[radu]

Lynn-Dah seems to have lost all the symptoms.

She is her old self again.

AWESOME!!! So glad to hear it! I know you must be VERY relieved.

[radu]

Howdy, Conor.
Sounds like you had an up and down day. At least things seem to work out to the good overall. :-)

Happy Monday, Kathy...((HUGS))...Mrs SR make it home on time.

We boys were glad to see her, then Maddi came over for short while.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...did you have a good day? Visit with Aunt Clara?

I got a couple things crossed off my list and I sent my brother “The List” and he said we can tackle it next week. I’ll pick him up Thursday and then he can use the second car while he’s here. He and a buddy are going to hang and he has errands.

[Eagles6]

Thank you for all of these stories.

Thanks so much Kathy! We had a wonderful service at the local Cenotaph this morning. Feeling like a total goose after realising today that the scrubby conifer adjoining is a Lone Pine cutting.

[radu]

It was a nice day. Beautiful and hot and I got a little weeding done after visiting Aunt Clara. I needed to do something to get my brain to stop rattling after dealing with her. LOL!

Nice you’ll have some help with your list. I hope the list you sent to him is all the stuff that requires heavy lifting. :-)

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

It's great to see you this evening! Just getting ready to hit the hay - the usual 0430 Reveille awaits me.

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape
and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."

[radu]

Your 0430 Reveille is just about my Taps. LOL!

Good night and sleep well. I hope your day goes smoothly tomorrow. *HUGZ*

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is great that you have found a good Animal Hospital....are they 24 hours?

Good girl, Lynn-Dah...

[luvie]

Thanks, galz, for the story of another American military hero!

[PROCON]

Woo-Hoo, thanks ladies for tonight’s Hero!

[PROCON]

Howdy there, how was your day?

Son just left after hanging out this PM and playing video games.

Other than that, nothing else much for me happening.

I start my first day of work tomorrow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Boy, you did have a busy day.

What do you think of Windows 10? I’m thinking about putting it on one computer.

Enjoy your evening.

[luvie]

Howdy, radu! Hope you had a good Sunday! Have the kittehs been wild heathens while the moon has been full? LOL!
