the evidence is long over due

[The Mayor]

Thanks Kathy!! It’s been a long week already, half way thru.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...did you have a good work day?

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

I saw, after I’d posted, that you were hangin’ with son-boy last night. Hope y’all had a grand evening.

Whew, we’re about ready for some nice weather here. Could you share some of yours? It’s been cloudy for days and raining off and on. Pouring right now. At least it’s been cooler and that’s a plus.

Suvi’s doing well tonight but had a rough time last night. VERY sore lil girlie. She’s still not back into “terrorist” mode yet and she can take her time with that. It’s been kinda quiet without her stirring everyone else up. LOL

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, great easy work day and our early Fall weather has been gorgeous, cool mornings and warm afternoons.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Ready for a recliner-and-blankie evening?

[PROCON]

Are the beans being harvested yet? How they looking?

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor! *HUGZ*

Nice to see you here tonight! It’s been a little while. I hope all’s going smoothly these days. Are the renovations completed yet?

[radu]

no, the beans aren’t ready for harvest just yet. The fields look pitiful with all the yellow and brown leaves but it’s part of the process. I’m guessing they’ll be ready by the end of next month.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Biggirl...hope your week is going well.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV!

We remember them every day!

Hope you had a good day. Did it cool off as much as they predicted?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how is work going these days? Keeping you busy?

How are the knees and ankles? Renovations complete? Time to sit back and enjoy?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you kids got out, even if it was soggy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes we will...remember them forever.

Good evening, Luv

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! (((hugs)))

Hope your day went well! Two more days and you can breathe! Maybe!

[luvie]

It did cool off al throughout the day. We even got a bit of rain...but only 1/10th inch. Right now it’s 55. Supposed to be back up to 90 by Friday! Sigh. How does that even happen! LOL!

Did y’all get a touch of the cold front too? Any rain?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope your day went well. Maybe a dry day? We are supposed to have rain tomorrow.

[radu]

Wow! You’re quite a bit cooler than we are. We’re at 72 right now and it was 75 when I went to town for groceries this afternoon. Supposed to be low 70s tomorrow, then warm back up to low 80s by the weekend.

We’ve had the rain today! I went to sleep listening to thunder and pounding rain this morning, then more rain moved in this evening. There’s over 2.5 inches in the gauge right now and it’s still raining.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy. It was a good enough day. The rain stopped long enough for grocery shopping in the dry but it’s back now. Could get more tomorrow. Wish there was a way to send some up your way. We’re gettin’ kinda sick of it after so many dreary wet days. LOL
