Good evening, radu...hope your day went well.

“They” are saying mixed rain and snow tonight and tomorrow. Icky!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....The Mayor grabs the gold!!

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor! *HUGZ*

All going well up your way? I hope y’all didn’t have to deal with any storms this week like we did. We’ll be cleaning up for a while ....... again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....mountainlion snags the silver!!

And rounding out the top three....Janey bags the bronze!!

I am beat, but made it through the day. Late night’s homework set me up good for corrections and I got everything in.

Checks all printed and I’m going home...with one stop for peanuts for the blue jays. Or maybe I’ll just go home. LOL!

[radu]

It was an ok day here. Cloudy, damp, windy, and chilly but the rain was kind enough to stay away when I headed to the grocery store. LOL! No fun dragging in soggy grocery bags.

Bummer about the weather they’re predicting there. Not going to be a fun drive to work in the morning.

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

All is well in the People's Republic of Maryland - our splendid Republican Governor Larry Hogan won re-election handily.

The rains continue - we had a dry day today but the ground is still soaked.

Sounding good on your governor’s race.
We replaced our outgoing “R” governor (a RINO) with another one - - this one a Conservative.

Glad you’ve just had rain up there. We had tornados rip through TN two nights ago and one ripped through the farm, leaving a mess in its wake. We hope it’s the end of that stuff for the year!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening -

already mounts the parapet.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

[radu]

Glad you got everything done and now you can relax this evening in the recliner with your blankie. :-)

The blue jays can wait one more day for peanuts. LOL

🇺🇸Till they all come home......🇺🇸

[luvie]

Happy Birthday Marines
We Salute You!

[luvie]

Howdy, radu!

We sure don’t forget them! They keep us safe and free when we can’t even.

Hope you had a good day in spite of the cold. Looked like there were some more strong storms around your area or just south of you this afternoon. I know you’re ready for some quiet time. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...any better weather? Did you and Penny get out for some fun walking? Pub night this week?

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! Hope you’re recovering from elections.

[radu]

I reckon getting the groceries in the dry made it a good enough day. LOL! It did rain on the way home though.

It’s not all that cold today but it felt chilly enough due to the damp breeze. It’ll be cold this weekend, though, with our first hard freezes of the season. Just not looking forward to it.

The rain south of us is way south and I guess it’s the leftovers of what came through here Monday night. We just had a few showers. Tomorrow and Friday will be wetter.
