    Morning~

    Beat me to the punch, Lou!

    Long day ahead - finals and new classes starting same week is a bit daunting!

    DW/DMIL return home tonight. That was a quick three days!

    I need a vacation to FL......

    Mornin' BBB.

    Ha! Been distracted.

    Summer school Professor? That's how you pay for new house.

    DS#2 is finishing up 2nd year law this week. He is hunkered down. We almost had to put him up in a hotel room for finals so he didn't have to deal with his loser room mates. He's moving out in June.

    DS#1 is graduating from Army Basic in Ft Jackson, SC this week. He has not enjoyed it much, although he has made some good contacts through his drill sergeants. He has a few days before he has to report for Warrant Officer School at Ft Rucker, AL.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Nobody enjoys basic training - especially those who shouldn't need to be there.in the first place. He'll like Rucker better.

    Made a late start, yesterday, but got in a pleasant hike in the Olympics. I'll do a long one on Friday. The forecast for then is 88 degrees - a record high - so it will be good to get up in the mountains to escape what passes for heat, up here.

    Hope Henry is recovering well.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Slept in this morning. Felt good.
    • Lee, if DS1 is driving to Ft. Rucker he'll come right past my hood on I-20. I would be honored to buy him lunch (dinner or breakfast).
    • Not much on the agenda today. I guess I need to pull my Boys State stuff out and go through it. I leave in about 2 weeks.
    • Think FL Kelly.

    Good morning BBB

    I'm home sick today, this cold has kicked my butt.

    I did paint the tree also Steph. It's raised up on the wood background, so wasn't hard to do. I used a small sponge brush for the larger areas, and a tiny art brush also.

    Dinner last night with 3 giggling 12yo 's was fun.

    Florida life looks like it's serving you well, Raine! Have you and Kelly met irl before, I can't remember?

    Lisa love your tulip photos!

    Sam, kudos foe hanging out with dmil!

    Bob, any peas yet?

    How many years have you done Boy State now, Dennis?

    Lee, did DS1 get engaged?

    Good Morning,
    I did not enjoy Fort Jackson at all,
    Lee, know you are proud of both!!!
    Friend and neighbor passed away yesterday, his wife has dementia no family except sister in NC.
    Then learned another friend and neighbor whose DH passed last summer learned yesterday she has breast cancer, no family nearby only sister in FL.
    Beans running, okra up, tomatoes and squash blooming; if I can keep varmints away may have a good garden this year. Think I need to plant a row of speckle butter beans or butter peas.
    Skip, sounds like too much work and not enough vacation.
    Kelly, trust sunscreen packed and ready for FL,
    Mary, ready for lake this weekend?
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Dennis, I'll find out exactly when he'll be rolling through. He'll have his GF with him, I believe.

    No, DS#1 hasn't announced a proposal yet.

    Yep, pretty proud of them both. I didn't screw them up too badly.

    How awesome, Lee! I'm proud of them FOR you, and I've never even met them! You are a GOOD DAD. :)
    Sam, I'm so sorry for your loss, and for your other friend's bad news. You must be feeling lots of feels right now ... I wish I could hug you.
    Mary, I hop you feel better very, very soon! A day off was wise.

    Nothing too big going on here. Today was my long day, 1 more workshop tomorrow and then Bible study. Dd28 is still not in labor.
