Good afternoon MaG, Gerry, Gail, Ana, Nan, and all. wave2

I took the dogs to the park this morning, and then came back and started mowing and trimming. I just finished, and now I'm dead beat. I feel like I need to go to Syberia to cool down. tired

More likely I'll eat, take a shower, and then lay down. blush

MaG there's more where those came from. wink

Gerry some iced tea would be great right now. I never make tea. duh

Gail I think surely by now all 1000 chemicals in coffee have been tested on a whole lotta people, for a very long time it seems. razz

I know I test them every morning voluntarily. lol

Ana glad you got to sleep in. You deserved it. bravo

I had trouble waking up this morning too.

Nan have fun at bingo tonight. Glad you got some warmer weather.

Time now to get something to eat.

Enjoy your day everyone.

joe
