Good morning, REOville

! I second Ed's wish that you all get in some Sunday R&R -
Loved those swan photos, Laurin! I knew you were a pro photographer, but I didn't know you were also the Swan Whisperer (c'mon, no zoom tricks on those closeups?); those feathery fiends are sure photogenic!
Even though my real allegiance is to mammals, Maggie, great image of you sitting on the porch taking a certain glee in watching fearless birds dive-bombing the neighborhood pets

.
How early did I say that car's as good as Smurf's already, Trunker? As I keep saying, don't worry - you'll reach that final phase of wife-stolen car grief, acceptance, soon enough!

Hope it's not much trouble fixing the hole in your loo that's NOT her fault!
Wow! Four generations all gathered in Texas, Debbie? Hope you all make a load of terrific memories on this reunion!
Two more sleeps 'til Hawaii, Canuck! Unlike lucky Steve, I've only been there once, but it WAY exceeded my expectations. Do you plan on visiting any of the other islands while you stay in Oahu?
Lisa, you really managed to go from one paradise in the islands to another true paradise in that glorious stretch of nature where you're building your dream home

. Thank you, again, for the great shots. And Wayne's history with the spot makes it all the more special!
Between your nurse, Karen, Val, Alice, and me, you've gotten quite an earful about taking the rest and the meds that you need to heal right, Jen...And you're still Wonder Woman to all of us here! (And you'll be Wonder Woman in comfy shoes with those Merrels; I loved the pair I had...before I spilled paint all over them not long ago

. Great tip, Scott!)
Alice, I overheard the secret you told Jen about your shoulder rotator

...how is it/are you doing now?! I didn't realize you'd had quite so many GI troubles from such an early age. Being called a trooper by YOU makes me want to live
up to that distinction more than I necessarily always do.
Speaking of shoulders on the mend, I sure hope Dave checks in again soon! You stay in my thoughts, Dave!
And it sounds like it's slowly but surely for you, Darrel...do you have Gatlin waiting on you like he should be?
Love hearing that someone's reached vape nirvana, Tripp

! Is your stomach bug history now?
Yay for another "I've seen the light" moment for you, salamastre, and welcome!
Um, I don't think you need ever apologize to "the ladies of REOville" for a bit of vulgarity, Kyle

!
On a
totally unrelated note

, I LOVE how much fun you're having these days, Kay! Gotta say

to that!
You've got me flossing up a storm lately, RHP; great to hear that you're totally pain-free now!
Johni, you win the title of first stomach growl of catch-up in REOville with your description of those country style ribs...you sure fit right in

!
Racehorse, I hope you get another Reonaut in the family with your brother in NY! But, um, my great aunt never did give me back my OG Grand...so best wishes prying it back outta his hands if that's your intention

.
Ed Scissorhands, King of Pruning, just like I said I'm pro-loopy, I'm clearly pro-"totally batty", too...nice Festus Haggan impression

! Hope today's work does turn out to be a little easier on those arms...don't want you scaring off young children with arms like your former avi's

!
Splendid Sunday vapes to all

!
