  1. Hope springs eternal ... or some such.
  2. We're in the midst of a thunderstorm. It was warm, 70/21° and muggy when we woke up but the forecast is for a front to pass through and bring cooler than normal temps. Some areas could see lows drop into the 30's though no expectation of frost. That's particularly unusual for SC in mid-April. Sounds more like my home in PA.
  3. I thought he wasn't allowed young studs visiting due to social distancing ... rolling in the hay while maintaining a six foot distance only makes you itchy.
  4. Gardening? I thought he was sun bathing.
  5. Sun bathe ... do you have a speedo?
  6. At least they both dressed nice ... I think/hope eventually they'll get things sorted out enough to be friends. This was a great chapter.
  7. Thanks Val. I guess this is part of having two aging that are 600+ miles apart. Last summer it was Mum while I was in PA now Dad while I'm in SC. Fortunately my son and d-i-l are nearby in PA if needed.
  8. Yeah, I thought of you too.
  9. Birds of a feather ...
  10. I see I'm not the only one.
  11. I thought you were gonna tell us he was taller than you too.
  12. You gonna slip 'im a mickey and have your way with him Albert?
  13. Hope things went okay B. I sent my dad a text on Sunday to wish him a happy Easter only to learn he was in hospital due to an active coronary event. It seems that he'd been having tightness in his chest off and on for about two weeks but blamed it on asthma and copd. Finally this past Friday a couple of neighbors found out and convinced him he needed to go to the er. He was admitted for observation over the weekend and then had an echocardiogram and catheterization mid-day yesterday. Both went well and the doc thinks he can be treated with meds so no surgery or stents. Dad was discharged at noon today and went home. Dads!?! What are you to do with 'em?
  14. Wish I'd have gotten several inches this morning ... 😋 ... oh, OH, my bad I thought you were talkin' about ... ☺️ ... nevermind.
  15. The most severe weather has passed we did have a brief period under a tornado warning but that too passed. Still the rumbling of thunder and gusts of wind. Things are expected to improve by early afternoon. Hope your weather doesn't become severe Val.
  16. We are expecting severe weather shortly, the storm line is about 60 miles to the west. We are currently under both high wind warnings until late afternoon and a tornado watch until noon. Enjoy your garden Marty.
  17. Howdy Texy.
  18. Cool. You can control the level of salt. I think I would also blend my own chili powder.
  19. Mum and I had lunch with the neighbors. We sat outside at the table on their patio. We had baked ham, both potato and macaroni salads, cole slaw, steamed broccoli and biscuits. For dessert we had brownies with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries.
  20. A Blessed and Happy Easter y'all.
  21. How well can you type with crossed fingers, it certainly wouldn't be helpful in my case.
  22. Oh, show you're doing the same as @Bucket1 and only dressing the top half ...
  23. I have a distinct fondness for pears with blue cheese. I very much enjoy the juxtaposition of sweet juicy pear and the pungency of the cheese.
  24. Greetings Albert. The day started well and accomplished some of what I'd hoped but then my head forced me to take a respite for the afternoon. Thank you for asking.
  25. Have you been wearing a kilt?
