Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

Good morning everyboomie.


Welcome to the weekend!


I'm happy to see the weekend. Not happy to see Jason go.


I'm afraid it may be another 2 years before I see him again.


What's even worse is that it may be another two whole years before he gets to see me again.


Either scenario is not good.


We had a great week though, with great memories to cherish for however long it is.


Not much on plan for Saturday here. What about you guys?


Whatever you have going, have a great day.

Joe, I can't imagine how hard it is to not see him for so long, but it's great he came for the week.

I'm just popping in between night time tuckins for clients. I still have to go back out for a couple hours to put a couple pups to bed and another couple birds. It'll be a short night of sleep because I have breakfast visits to do.

Have a happy day all!

watching some college football.

Good Morning Joe, Ana, family and everyone. Joe glad you had a memorable visit with Jason. It is so hard to say good by especially for such a long time. Ana you sure have a busy schedule. I think you need a vacation! Family more football today? Venus I'm thinking of you.
Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready.
Wishing everyone a fun Saturday!

Good morning everyone, have a Great Saturday. A Costco trip today. Danish, Eggs, Grits, Hash Browns, BB Pancakes, Bacon, and French Toast in the NC.

Sorry you had to say goodbye to Jason, Joe. Glad you had a great time together.

Hope you're able to get some rest soon, Ana!

Have a good day, family.

Thanks, Gerry. Mornings are one of the hardest times because I miss feeding him. Thanks for the drinks. I think I'll have some hot chocolate. Hope you have a great Saturday also!

Have fun at Costco today, Connie.

It's still hard here without Jupiter. Saga has been keeping me company a lot, which is nice. I told her she has a lot more responsibility now as the only cat. Eventually, I will get another one because I prefer having at least two around (I would even have 3, but the apartment complex only allows 2 pets per apartment,) but I want to give it some time. I think I'll do some gaming with Saga today. I should try to get some practice in as well, since I'll be resuming voice lessons on January 5th, and I've been really neglectful since Jupiter got sick.

Okay, off to see what I can play. Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Good evening Boomers. Have a great evening.

So good to see you posting SpaceQ!

I just got home from my last visit of the day. It's all ice out, an driving was a real treat.

Good night, everyone.
