Howdy, Kathy.

Yikes! It sounds like you’re going to have a slip-slidey drive to work in the morning. That’s not going to be fun.

We’ve had just the opposite here today. Sunshine and mid 70s, though it’s been pretty breezy. It still felt very nice outside.

Relaxing would have been nice but it wasn’t in the cards. Been getting things done that weren’t done last week since I wasn’t home much. It’s going to be pretty much the same this week since the “R” women’s group is having our annual rummage sale next weekend. Gotta gather stuff I plan to take and we’ll be setting everything up Wed. and Thurs.
It’s going to be a rough week with four mornings in a row getting up early. Ouch!

Did you have a fun visit with Ashlie today?

Howdy, LUV!

It was a gorgeous day today! Too bad it couldn’t have been this nice yesterday so more folks would have felt like getting out to visit the museum.

It’s been a busy day, and rowdy kittehs underfoot hasn’t helped. Not sure why they’re so wound up.

Glad you had a good day. Has Midnight cooled his jets at all yet or is he still being a lil butthead?

Glad you had some pretty weather, but like you, I wish you’d had a better day for museum goers.

He seems to have calmed down somewhat. I don’t want to be a food monitor for a bunch of wild kittens.

I’ll need to get Coal to the vet soon. Not tomorrow though. We have company coming. My friend who goes to the eye doctor here.

The rest of the week won’t be quite as warm but it’ll be decent enough. Some rain Wed. and Thurs. but we expected that. It always seems to rain when we’re setting up for our rummage sale. It doesn’t slow down the people who show up to donate their items, at least. It’ll be cooler Fri. and Sat. but dry. Good for us and our sale and good for the museum goers. I won’t be up there, though, since I have to work the sale.

I hope he HAS calmed down for the other cats’ sake. They’re probably a little freaked out by his sudden change in behavior.

Yes, the sooner, the better getting Coal in for her surgery. Understandable why tomorrow won’t be a good day for it.

Cross my fingers that you have good weather...even if it’s cool...for the sale.

I hope his ill temper was just him in some pain from his surgery. I’m sure it hurt....poor thing. He seems much better now. I’ve checked the girlies and they’re looking good, too. Everything healing well.

“What??!!

Birth and death...copied from the text.”

So, he was 105 years old?

Wow!

Well, if that’s what the text said, then I guess so. He really WAS a survivor!

Noooo....he was under 100. 1916 to 2011=95. LOL!

Don’t mess with my math-fail brain! :)

Good evening, Luv...hope you had a good day and got a nice nap.

We had some rain that turned into snow and the temps are supposed to drop into the mid 20s.

I did...and I did! Hope you did, too...and didn’t have homework to spoil a nice weekend.

Sounds like you are having the weather that you usually are ready for by this time of the year. Now it’s slip-n-slide time. Hope you have your cleaties in the car!

A very pleasant good Monday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks, Star for this morning's thread.

How's everyone doing this morning?

The forecast is good for the weekend. Mid 50s and no rain. We’ll take it!

I think his ill temper was more from the “abuse” of being handled and being caged up for a couple of days. He’s so skittish, it had to be a bit traumatic.
I’m glad the girlies are doing so well!

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

I hope you and Gizmo had as beautiful a day for a trip to the lake as we had.

Glad it was a good day for your romp at the lake.

I hope everything checks out on your truck so you aren’t stuck with a high mechanic bill. Ouch!

We did have a nice visit...just sitting and talking and her telling me about her dog training business.

Very nice...and then homework after she left. Finished about half and now I’m ready to crash.

Rest well when you get there.

Sounds like y’all had nice time. I hope things are going well with her business.
I wonder if Barrett ever grew into his ears. LOL!
He is one handsome dog.

I checked the Anchorage cams and you’ve gotten quite a bit of snow tonight on top of already-wet streets! Yikes! Not going to be a fun drive to work. Be careful!
