Good morning everboomie.

Welcome to the weekend.

It's been quite a trip through the week to get here.

It seemed to go at light speed for some reason.

OH YEAH I was OFF the last two days. THAT'S why it seemed to go so fast.

That's ok. After you guys enjoy your weekend, I'm off again Monday & Tuesday.

I can endure two more work days, no problem.

Have a great weekend everyone.

joe

Woah, I'm first. Thanks Joe for your openers. I'm headed for bed and thought and check if you posted yet. I'll see you in the AM. Good night.

Midgie

Thanks for the chuckles Joe. I'm glad you only have to get through two days this time.

Midgie, have a great day!

Today will be cleaning the house, running the pups and then as a reward I will have dinner with my hubby, sis and BIL. Life is good!

I hope you all have a great day! Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Welcome to the weekend. Hope that everybody has a wonderful one!!

Joe I'm sure that work will fly and only one to go after today! Thanks for the lauhs.

Midge enjoy your weekend and I hope that work is fun!

Ana I miss read what you wrote and thought that hubby was doing all those things and his reward was your presence along with your sis and bil at dinner. What can I say. Have a lovely day!

niteowl sounds like an interesting day you had yesterday. I tried to get here and say good night but it kept telling me the server was down. I tried from my phone, thinking maybe it was my computer, but got the same message.

Space may you have a wonderful weekend with lovely weather for some park runs!!

Haroula have a lovely day!

Gerry thanks for the hot coffee!!! Hits the spot! Have a lovely day!

Gail have fun shopping!! That's what I will do too but not at BJ's. Don't have one here. Course there will be some hepl moving roomies sister in there too.

Have a wonderful day everybody!!


Nan

Sounds like you have a nice situation there, Joe. Hope work flies today.

See you when you get up, Midge.

Have a fantastic dinner, Ana.

Have a fantastic day, niteowl.

Have a terrific day, Space Quest.

Have a great Saturday as well, Haroula.

Enjoy the day, Gerry.

Have fun at BJ's, Gail.

Nan, I got that same message last night when I woke up after having gone to sleep and thought I might as well post on today's diner. I finally gave up and decided to wait until morning. Have fun shopping today. What store are you going to?

Well, I'm off today. It was so hot here last night, you would think it was summer. It's gone down a bit today, but it's still pretty warm for this time of year. No plans yet, except for maybe some gaming time. Fiance's car is fixed. It was the battery again; he had to get a new one.

Okay, off to see what else is happening. Enjoy the day, everyone.

Woke to sunshine, wind and mid 30's temp. Hopefully things will dry out enough that I can mow my over the ankle deep grass this afternoon.

Hope it's a pleasant and productive day for every Boomie.

I couldn't get on to say good night last night either. They were doing maintenance. I slept in for a change and I have to say it felt marvelous. Hubby and BIL are getting ready to go golfing and I am going to take the dogs out first and get the mud out of the way. I'll probably shower with the dogs when I get home so I can clean the house.

niteowl, hope your day is better today and sis is in a better mood.

Space, hope you get in a fun park run.

Haroula, glad your son got to enjoy swimming the other day.

Gerry, hope your weekend is great!

Gail, any gaming in your plans? I did Costco with Peter yeterday afternoon so I got that out of the way.

Nan, I hope you get all the moving done so you can enjoy the day. I need to squeeze in a veggie run at the store too sometime today.

Venus, did he get the battery replaced for free since it was new? I hope you find something fun to do today.

Trippy, that's chilly! I hope you warm up a bit and dry out. It's so hard cutting the grass when it's so long.

Ana

So it's Cinco de Mayo (mexico's triumph over the French at the battle of Puebla) and so far no parties on the block. I expect tonight will be in full swing. Can hardly wait for all the music and noise.

'Something' in my yard is blooming and making my nose drip and sneeze. Dunno what yet, but I'm suspecting the Victorian Box trees. I saw ONE flower way down back in my vacant lot a few days ago. Will have to investigate tonight. The 'smell' is only after dark until early morning, so I will have to go out then to 'sniff'. In the meantime, I'm forming a strong bond with my Kleenex box.

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! Hope your day back to work goes exactly as you'd like it!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies! Happy Saturday Surf and Turf!

Slept in this morning. Lovely. Awoke to a quiet house. Hubby left earlier for some rousing games of raquetball. Now, I'm sipping on a cup of Hubby's brew and reading the posts. Life is good!

Alrighty, off to see what's afoot!

Ana, no I tried to get him to use his warranty, but he wouldn't do it. Oh, well, his decision. Glad you had a chance to sleep in.

Well, I think I'll play Still Life for awhile. I started it on Thursday since I was in that kind of mood.
