grew up on farms.

It sounded bad when you told us about it Fri. night but seeing it is a whole different thing. Yeowy!

Good that there were some cams around to check out. Hubby’s a Ford guy, big time, and spends time on Ford forums. He said he hasn’t heard anything about F-150s catching fire suddenly, so it’ll be interesting to find out what’s learned when the truck is checked out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

One foot in front of the other. And prayers for you and yours and your safety. That is some fire. I hope the insurance folks can figure out what happened.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...a beautiful, sunny day, and very quiet until midnight.

Hope you had a good Independence Day as well.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

How was your day other than hot? I’ve seen some rain on the radar in your area and hope you got some of it. We had a shower this afternoon.

[luvie]

Hi, there, radu! Nope, just the hot. We heard thunder and saw some lightning flashes, but not a drop of wet stuff.

How were things there? Did it finally rain and cool things off for you?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Really glad you were able to check security cameras and no foul play. Hope “they” figure out what happened quickly.

One day at a time...you’ve been there, done that. Prayers of peace.

[luvie]

I just went out and it's sprinkling! I wouldn't have known that but I petted Sugar and her back was wet. LOL! The huge pine tree next door prevents much rain getting on the patio. Also, it's now 73 degrees!!Wind blowing from the north. It felt wonderful!

[PROCON]

In late!

Wow, what an extraordinary Hero!

And Mr. Williams is still with us at the age of 96, well done Sir!

[radu]

Well darn the luck. I’d hoped you’d gotten a shower or two out of it.

There were pop-up showers and storms around our area and we got a shower. It dropped the temp a little bit but it was still a sauna afterwards. We have this to look forward to all week. Ugh!

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[radu]

Good, you’re getting a little wet stuff and even some NICE cooling. I’ll bet the kitties and all other critters outside are enjoying it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOOHOO!!! Luvie is getting some wet stuff from above!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...did you have a wonderful Independence Day weekend? Lots of cards? Any winning?

[luvie]

Well, it wasn’t much, but the temp has dropped and there are still thunder clouds in the area. Fingers crossed!

[luvie]

Right now the cooling is more refreshing than anything else. I’d go out and sit, but the mosquitoes would have a feast. Ugh!

[radu]

Mosquitos do have a bad habit of ruining things, don’t they?
