Good morning everyboomie.

Well it's one for the money, two for the show,
three to get ready now go cat go.

Some days you rule the universe.

Some days you just go with the flow.

Today is the latter, but then it's not all that unusual for a late night, bed time afer a long day, with the old brain in disengage mode.

I can't even understand that last sentense.

Do you??

All's well that ends well I guess.

I can end this thing well, no problem.

It's the filler in between the beginning and ending that's ruff..

When the brain disengages the light in my eyes slowly dim, and my eyes roll upward, and my eyelids start to flutter, and my head almost looks like a bobble head.

It's really hard to see what I'm typing then.

That means it's time to wish you all a happy day.

joe

Thanks for the funny laws Joe. THank goodness I don't have to call Roger master because I don't think I could do it without laughing.

Have a wonderful day Joe and all.

EDIT: Your arrowhead pictures are amazing! Well done.

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! Great pics of the arrowheads!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies!

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!

Terrific Tuesday ya'll

It's a beautiful day in AL today and I hope and plan to get the monkeys out for a peaceful perambulation of the neighborhood later.

Silly Skyman had me laughing before coffee. I noticed this morning on the way to the computer, the dog's water in the laundry room was really ickky. I took it up to clean and refill.

It's one of those 5 gallon self waterers. I washed the bottom and brought that back down. Went up and filled the tank which takes a few minutes. Then carried it back downstairs very carefully as it is heavy and I have missed my footing on those stairs more than once.

It is heavy so I do sort of a flip to get it in place. Well, I got to the dog bowl, was ready to flip in the tank and the bowl was not there

Then I looked to the end of the room where the dog door is. Yeppers, there was Sky sticking his head in from outside trying to position the bottom of the bowl just right so he could carry it outside.

I'm have a short list of to-do's today, and plan on some reading time later.

I was reading in bed last night, enjoying my book on Kindle, when oops I fell asleep and eek, the Kindle hit me right on the nose.

Joe, sorry it's time to head back to work, but your bank will thank you.

Manx

Doc, You are so sweet to go to the school. I bet you will inspire those kids.

Haroula, I hope you warm up quickly!

Cailyn, how are you feeling?

Gerry, waht is up for you today?

Venus, have fun!

Midgy, how are you?

Gail, hope your day is wonderful.

Connie, hugs for you and hubby.

Bets, hope you find something fun to do.

Darlene, happy skooshing.

Ana,

<sigh> I was almost done writing my post and I looked something up for someone and just now realized I closed my browser and lost my post. UGH!

In short, the evening was lovely, daughter did an outstanding job and made me proud.

It is 50 degrees here and I am off to the park with the dogs to get muddy.

Then I will be in the corner working on my new project. Life is good.

Have a happy day!

Ana, hope you had a great run! Sorry your post was lost.

I'm just back from walking the eldest and the youngest and thinking of lunch but first have to research some vitamins for daughter. Then perhaps later in the day I will take the middle 2...but not promising as hip is aching and I've learned my push-through-the-pain lesson!

I took an absolutely wonderful 4 mile hike with the dogs and as we were leaving, I had the honor of getting a close-up view of the majestic Coopers Hawk having lunch. He was just beautiful.

be back

Now this is my idea of winter. What a beautiful day.

Good night Haroula, sleep well

Hello everybody.

I went over to my neighbor's when I got home and traversed up and down their creek, and found one white arrow point. The top part is broken off, but it's still a real nice point.

Here next to the one I found yesterday.

I'm wore out and ready for bed now.

Fortunately I don't work tomorrow until 1:00.

joe

Oh dear, it'll be Wed. before I know it and didn't get a whole lot accomplished. Telling self, must try to do better tomorrow...to do better at doing nothing or to do better at doing something...?

Hope all have a great eve and a restful night.

SpaceQ, glad you enjoyed the weather.

Haroula, sweet dreams.

L4L, hope you are enjoying the evening. If Shadow had a doggy door, he would be taking everything outside too. That is too cute!

Joe, that is very nice. You got an eagle eye.

TRippy, take the day off tomorrow. I am sure you earned it.

Hugs to Nan. She is feeling under the weather the last few days.

Ana

It's dark out and I think my tenant who has never been late on rent has not brought it to me. It's strange because I spoke to her twice today in the driveway and at the mailbox for a good while. I don't think she would walk up her after dark, and she always pays on the last day of each month for the 13 years I've been her Landlord. Hummmm. Wondering what happened. Not relishing going down there tomorrow if she doesn't appear early in the morning.

I hope you get your check Sorta and that she's okay. Could she have slipped it under the door?

Hi L4L. I just ordered a Kindle a couple fo days ago. I can't wait until I can start using it. Wow Ana that hawk is beautiful. Thanks for the pic. Connie I'm sorry I missed the BB pancakes you served this morning. I was gone from the diner way too early this morning. But tomorrow I have the day off so I don't have to get up early.

I'm gonna check to see what's on. I did get a chance to watch NCIS tonight as I was home early from work. Darlene did you get a chance to see it? It pulled at your heart strings for sure.

See you in the morning.

Night all.
Midgie

Thanks Midgie, he was absolutely regal up close.
Congrats on the kindle! Enjoy it.
