Very Happy Hi all,

Well, I haven't done a TGIF in ages. I kind of got side tracked with a bad ex next door neighbor making my life hell and then seeing Bobby for the past few months.

What is your weather like and what are your plans? I've played all week when I wasn't sick with bronchitis so this weekend will be full of getting chores done. Bobby watches sports all weekend so I doubt I'll see him. I'll talk to him by phone though. The weather for now iis bearable but I hear another heat advisory is coming up in days.

it's supposed to be pretty hot here this weekend, but sunny and maybe not so humid (we can hope, anyway); no big plans, but will probably drive out to visit frances's aunt and uncle tomorrow or sunday, and maybe hit one of the farm markets for some nice fresh-picked corn.

Well, TGI Saturday! It's rainy at my house. I'm doing indoor chores this weekend.

Very Happy Hi Rusty,

Nice to see you around. It was a nice day by me but could use the rain your having. Chores for me tomorrow.

HOT!! here in Pittsburgh! This is an Army reserve weekend for me. Busy! Still moving - the vertigo slowed me down - but as of today - its been a week since my last episode - so hopefully I'm done with it for another 15 years! Sure hope so - its a very helpless feeling. Going to bed early - goodnight!

Hi Mary,

Bobby has some nice stories he tells of the time he was in the Army. He was a Ranger. When I 1st saw his Ranger hat I asked him if that meant a Park Ranger. He was insulted at what I said I could tell. So the other day I looked up Ranger online. He's retired from the Army.

Hey Barbara - Rangers are one of the army's "elite" forces - actually they are part of the Special Operations Forces - along with the Special Forces (Green Berets). They are highly trained and used for special missions. Its hard sometimes when you don't have a military background. I'm sure he has some tales of adventures with the Rangers. I'm definitely NOT an "elite" soldier...in fact - I don't think there are any female Rangers - their training is very intense and physically demanding.

Thank you Mary for the clarification. Bobby mostly talks about the bond that soldiers have with each other. Some pretty good friendships develop in war with soldiers. He says that serving God comes 1st and then servingt his county is next. He really is a good man and that's what makes me fall for him.
