Good morning.
An amazing soundtrack from Lady Ella to accompany my reading and pecking at the key board. The computer one, not the piano. I don't know if I can play the piano. I've never tried.
Sounds like a little improvement there Nancy. So, you do watch "real" race cars. The ones without fenders. 
Gosh Karen, thoughts and prayers for Amanda. That young lady must be strong or the guy upstairs wouldn't keep throwing all of these challenges at her and her family! I bet Pastor Lisa is thanking her lucky stars that you found their congregation.
OK PAT, SPILL THE BEANS ABOUT THE SOIREE!
Dave, Lu-Ann and I pulled out some of the pics from that trip as well. I remember all of us planning to meet, for the first time, in The Schooner Bar. Can you imagine that. One of the best things and trips we were ever on. We sure did meet some pretty darned good people! And I'm sos glad that we kept in touch with them.
We were lucky weather wise. The predicted terrible wind, rain and thunder never made it to this area. It was nice here at 5:45 when Ava and I went for a walk but the humidity had started to sneak in when Lu-Ann and I went for a walk. It was nice down by the river for Ava's second walk.
So Kathie, how's Manny treating you and Art. Does he have you both trained yet? It's the old thing with property values here, like everywhere I suspect. While our old house is worth, and I use "worth" loosely, more than what we sold it for new homes here are priced higher than what we paid. It's kind of a wash, isn't it. Still we don't know how young folks afford to get into the housing market.
I tried to use "woke" in a sentence Bill. After I woke up this morning I took Ava for a woke. For lunch I will pull out the woke and make some oriental food. Stupid word. The last thing Maui needs is cruise ships and the thing it needs the most is tourist dollars. A pretty fine line.
Aha! Still not quite noon. So my greeting of good morning stands!
Everyone have a great day!
