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

How was your day? Did Gizmo behave or did he find some mischief to get into? He’s been pretty good lately so he’s overdue for some trouble-making. :-)

[radu]

We’d both be in trouble without AC, that’s for sure. LOL We switched over to it last week.

They’re getting some nice aurora waves over Manitoba tonight. Really pretty against the midnight blue sky. They’ve reached the time of year when it doesn’t get beyond twilight there. This is the first clear night they’ve had in quite a while and we’re getting a nice “dance” to mesmerize.

[E.G.C.]

((LOL))Well, we had a couple of people fishing out there. We did start to get to the picnic area but there were some people out there so we headed back to the lake. Here are the pics from yesterday.

[radu]

It looks like Gizmo had a good time sniffing exciting smells and cooling his paws in the lake.

[luvie]

Oooo...maybe I’ll go peek in and see it for just a bit. I need to jump off after that and get some sleep. See ya tomorrow! Hope you have a good day...and some sunshine at some point!

[E.G.C.]

Yep, and we have another trip planned for later today.

Our area is in a level 1 (Marginal) risk for severe storms today and tonight but I think they'll hold off until this evening and tonight.

[radu]

I hope you enjoyed the “dance”. I wasn’t sure how much we’d see since it doesn’t get totally dark now but there were plenty of good, strong waves. After checking in for a week and seeing nothing but clouds, it was a nice surprise.

Sleep well. I’m getting ready to shut this thing down and try to do the same.

[radu]

Have fun at the lake. It sounds like you’ll have plenty of time before storms roll in. At least you only have level 1 risk for bad ones so you should get through the evening just fine.

No severe weather expected here. Just wet. Again. :-)

[radu]

Since everyone’s asleep .....

[radu]

..... mine.

Good morning ladies

[Army Air Corps]

Yeah, the hail yesterday evening was something. It came down pretty hard in some areas with golf ball size hail. My part of town received marble and pea-sized hail.

[luvie]

Hi, JJ! How are you doing? Still in the AF?

[luvie]

Howdeeee dooooo, Early Birds!
Hope y'all are well today.
It's another hot sunny day here.
Same thing as all the days to come.
It gets kind of boring! LOL!
Have a Thoughtful Thursday today!
...and think about our brave troops!
(((hugs)))

#50...radu!
Sneaky!

[radu]

Hey there, JJ!! *HUGZ*

Dang it. Of all the mornings to shut down the computer a little early. I shut it down as soon as I snagged that 50 and missed you. :-(
I hope all’s hunky-dory with you these days.

[radu]

What a darling lil teddy bear!

Easy to snag the 50 when everyone’s off in dreamland. No competition. LOL

[luvie]

I’ve had it for years and it just occurred to me the other day what a neat woohoo it would make. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique.

radu.....#50!!
