Have a terrific Tuesday Joe, Space Quest, Ana and all who come in after me. wave

It's Monday night for me. I'm just going to have to do a quick pop in, as we're having a thunderstorm, and I want to make sure to shut everything off as soon as possible. Then I'm off to sleep for another work day.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday. spring

Terrific Tuesday ya'll puppy

Hubby and I were up early early early to walk the dogs. I was looking forward to stepping out into the cool. So Not! It was already 76 at 5:30. eek But we did it anyway! Then home to cool off, cut up a watermelon, get the smoothie slurry made, feed everyone, and hit the Farmer's Market for honey.

Finally, time to sit and sip for a sec. Rain supposed to be here in a bit. Boys will be here this afternoon. Daughter will be here Friday, so there is cleaning and baking in my future.

Joe, I love that quote!

Space wave

Ana, so glad you are not blind-less any more.

Venus, have a great day.

Haroula, how are you?

Gerry, thanks for the coffee.

Connie, hope the vet will be a great help to Outlaw lab

Gail, gentle hugs. Feel better soon.

Darlene, happy skooshing!

Off to Audible to get a new "walking" book. Finished the Rithmatist this morning and the sequel isn't out for 2 more years sad
