Happy Birthday Doggio It’s a whopping 23 degrees here. Capt if you come to the Balto/Anna area let me know. Planning on irking today, of course that was my plan yesterday too and it didn’t irk so well. Sah-kid made the principals honor roll!!! I have to brag, I’m sorry. Sah-kid is dyslexic, school has always been a struggle for him, so for him to go from barely passing in elementary school to advanced classes and honor roll in HS is a big achievement. He’s coming out of his shell and making more friends and one of my artist friends is helping us learn how to turn his art work into clip art. So all the way around he makes a momma proud. ---

**Happy birthday Doggio!** All y’all with snow can send some down here. I loves me some snow. We’ve only gotten fluffy blowaway snow this winter which is worse than no snow. ---

**Happy Birthday, Doggio!** It’s been a long and sad week. One of best friend’s son died on Tuesday. It was not an expected death and he was only 27. I didn’t do much of anything yesterday; a little tidying and some laundry and that’s about it. Today we’re meeting some friends for lunch. I’ll probably complete a couple of errands after lunch, but that will be the extent of my day. Congrats to the sah-kid! You have every right to brag! ---

Don’t you hate it when you’re getting ready to make something only to find you’ve forgotten to get one essential thing? :smack: Oh well. Once I get done with this cup of coffee I guess I’ll have to head back out to the store. ---

An announcement to make: “Dukey Butts” is a perfectly cromulent way to collectively refer to my 2 dogs. When VWife heard me use it, she was all 😕 ---

Home again, home again, jiggety jig! 😃 The visit with my mom was nice - we had a nice dinner and conversations, I crocheted 3 hats while there, so my time was well-spent, and she made us waffles for breakfast! Plus she fixed my hideous haircut, so I look presentable again. I need to thank **tugig** , **BBBobbio** , and \*\*Spidey \*\*for not mocking my horrid coif when we lunched together. 😉 \*\*sari \*\*- I waved in your general direction as we headed down I-97! 😃 And congrats to your young 'un - sounds like quite a kid! \*\*BBBobbio \*\*- you obviously haven’t trained your wife very well… 😛 I’ve got a load of jeans in the washer and I’m lunching on McKay’s krab spread on crackers. Yum. Daughter is coming over later and bringing Higgs home. We were told said pup peed many places she shouldn’t have in the apartment, so I’m pretty sure she won’t be welcome there any more. Payback for every time Cozmo hiked a leg on my dining room furniture. 😛 The rest of my afternoon will probably mostly be laundry and chilling. Life is good, if cold. ---

Thunderstorms this Ante Meridian. I went out to work on the rental, and…brace yourself, Rosie…I had the A/C on in the car. It is sunny now, and we may be able to stain the porch (which I never rebuilt for Mrs. Plant v.2.0, nah, nah, nah!) this afternoon. Getting warm in the house, I should turn the A/C on for Mrs. Plant v.3.0’s return from work. Rosie? Rosie? Somebody check on her… ---
