Dave, just finished reading this...lots of wonderful information and photos! I see that you will have lots of time to find more wonderful nuggets during your time off...

Yes, I have a memory of that...it was a very nice Meet and Mingle. Have any of you registered yet for this one? I have not...not really a priority to me, but, of course I will attend as a PBS member. Will register probably after final payment...

Mary, thanks for the support. I hope it's over soon but it may last quite some time.

Hi Dave,

I hope things are settled soon. Have fun driving Bettie crazy at home.

I hope things are settle soon, too, but I believe this will be a long strike. We heard last night that 2 salaried employees working on the assembly line we taken out on stretcher. Guess they know how difficult it is to do our jobs. The union filed three complaints last with with the US Labor Board. No word on those, yet. I'll try to keep everyone posted on the outcome.

Good morning everyone! Just thought I would stop in and say "hi" before I go out to my volunteer job today.

Tuesday is the day I take care of my granddaughters, would like to share a comment Avery made yesterday:

We were sitting on the patio, playing airplane. They were sitting in their little lawn chairs and I was behind them. (They were pilot and co-pilot) Alaina, the 5 year old turned around and asked me where I wanted to go. I said, "Miami".

Avery turned around and looked at me for a second and said, "Your ammy?"

Good Morning Everyone, I am going to help Bob today with the fence so I will be back later, we have a lot to do

Carol

[Cruisin Dave]

Good afternoon from sunny and hot Texas,

Mary, as the late Art Linkletter said, Kids say the darnedest things.

Carol, don't work too hard, he will expect it more often.

I worked in the yard a could hours this morning raking up grass that has collected over the years. The thatch keeps the grass from growning. I have a mulching mower but it needs a new blade. I'm waiting for this strike to end and I'm going to pick up a newer mower.

No news on the strike front. I don't look for any movement there until next week.

Later,
Dave

Mary, that's cute...sometimes they do or say the most embarassing things in public though and there's no off button.

Dave, did Bettie create her "honey do" list for you?

Not yet and I'm not suggesting it either. I got up this morning and raked the yard trying to get the dead grass us. We then went out for lunch, tacos, after picking up some ribbon for a project she is working on, aprons for a school ballet. We are experiencing hotter than normal temps, 90s here and in the 100s west of us. We will be back to normal this weekend.

Well Dave, we could send the rain we got tonight your way...no wonder my allergies are acting up it is this strange weather. A few days ago it was in the 80's and now back to wet weather.

Yummo tacos! Hola to Bettie.

Good morning cruisers,
Not much happening here. I'm going to work in the yard for a little hile this morning then head over to the union hall. I have to walk the picket line Friday and Saturday evening.
