Hi Kathy and thanks for remembering and honoring our Troops tonight.

Good evening, radu...has the wind stopped blowing yet?

We had a few hours of gentle rain.

Howdy, Kathy.

Looks like a sloppy day up there for y’all. The good thing is the rain will help melt the snow faster. It created a lot of fog at the airports early this afternoon though. I hope tomorrow isn’t as crummy since you’ll head out for a while.

Ready for an early bedtime tonight?

[radu]

There’s a little breeze out of the north today. Enough to make it a little uncomfortable outside. I was chilly while vacuuming both cars this afternoon - the start of spring cleaning them. LOL They’ll each get their baths this weekend when it’s warmer. They NEED it!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...is spring ready to stay now?

I’ll not bet any money on it, but spring might really be coming. We will see over the next few weeks

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...are you cleared to go back to work?

Stay away from anything that can cut you!

Are you having spring weather?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

My bed is calling me, but I still have things that need to be done before I go into the office in the morning.. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I washed my headlights and tail lights yesterday. That will last about 10 minutes in this slop. LOL!

[luvie]

Remember Our Troops
Through the ages...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...you and Tippy getting any relief from the rain? At least it’s better than snow.

We are getting a light sprinkle of rain...the first of the “season”. Still a LOT of snow to melt.

[radu]

Your bed’s probably screaming at you tonight. LOL I hope you can knock out what you need to do quickly so you can answer the call soon.

[radu]

You’re giving it that long? LOL

I kinda hate to wash the cars this weekend because they’ll be covered with pollen again by the next day. But I HAVE to get winter’s gunk off of them since I haven’t washed them since last Fall.

Little bits of sunshine here and there, but it’s still pretty chilly! :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Love the “time lapse”, luvie. We WILL remember!
