  I guess if Mother Nature has borrowed you for cloud duty, you would not be at your computer. Hope all is well.

Pretty depiction of the strong Lady.
(She is blowing a gale here, and I keep hearing large branches thudding against the roof and deck. Too dark to see what her wrath is wreaking now!)

  Okay...Love is a big word. MUST BE CAREFUL HERE...

BUT I LOVE YOU ALL! Oops! I slipped! HeeHee!

Dale has challended me to a game of pool. Do you think I should leave the computer to play AND MAYBE EVEN WIN???

He is PRO level and I beat him last time!!! I bet he just let me win....but I used to be good!!!

Chicken wings and 4 1/2 x 9 tables here we come!!!

Thank you all.

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!! This is so exciting.

Hugs and love,
Laura
