I’ve been puzzling over covfefe all day… it must have been something from a late night movie, right? Citizen Covfefe? Covfefe Actually? West Side Covfefe? Covfefeblanca?

Home today. Thinking of you. Did you ever get a new mischief email? Might be easier to keep to touch with that. I find things to share and forget to come here to do it. Duh. Mwah!

Re: Holiday weekend

Hiya Greg! How are you? Hope you’re enjoying this long weekend.

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier – I was off work on Friday! Hubby and I went down to Foxwoods for the Barry Manilow concert. He is such a showman!

Hope life is treating you well!

What a showman Barry Manilow is! He encouraged us to sing along and gave us glow sticks to wave! I forgot how many of his songs I know…I laughed, I cried, I celebrated with an amazing crowd of dedicated fans. He writes the songs that make the whole world sing!

Hello Sassy-

Are you off on this holiday weekend Friday??

Greg

=====

Ah… Sneezy checking in after a month.  I was so busy running errands with Hubby, and heading out of town tomorrow, I didn’t find time to answer.  And how many times can I say, “You need to find someone else?”  But I do enjoy seeing him now and then, as long as I remember he will never take it very far.  I will try to write later.  *sigh

Spring flowers

Happy Friday kid!
7:53 AM Phil
Happy Friday!

7:58 AM Sassy
It’s raining.  And 49 degrees.  
We’re off to a new doctor for Hubby to explore some wild brain zapping system.  Whee.
In better news, I got the reunion group talking about their favorite teachers and it was fun! The organizer thought the group would just be for announcing the party details, but I am determined to get them socializing, so I keep asking questions!  
8:03 PM Phil
Brain zapping?   😛
I had fun with reunions.  Some people were unrecognizable, others look pretty much the same. Just fun to hear what people were up to.

8:06 AM Sassy
I’m resolved to help them have fun on Facebook, and enjoy a couple hours at dinner.  

Nothing will top our reunion.  ; ) 

8:07 AM Phil
Ha! [devil emoji]

8:17 AM Phil
I wouldn’t think so
