Title: Friday the 13th! August 13, 2021
Post by: ReadingBob on August 13, 2021, 06:41:25 AM
Morning all,

Happy Friday the 13th!  T.G.I.F. even if it is the 13th!  :D

I'm looking forward to the weekend and some train time.  With any luck I'll get to do a little rail fanning tomorrow morning on the A&S.  ;)

Last Friday off for me as the teachers return on Monday and we get back to full work weeks for the start of school.

Eye doctor checkup this morning, then some layout time. My progress on the Rust Rock Falls kit is moving forward with more terrain work as I site the main structure on the TMB & N.  Should be ready for some pics later today.

Happy day to all!
Opa George

Good Morning;

Unfortunately it was a sad day here yesterday. Our furry member of the family, Maggie Mae could battle kidney failure no further without a real increase in pain. She was Deb's and my best buddy but her future was too bleak so we had to let her go. The house is empty today. Tomorrow will be better.

Jim, sorry to hear about Maggie Mae.  It's always hard to lose a family member, and I know what you mean about the house feeling empty.

I've been hiding in the basement during this heat wave, but mostly I've been reading.  So not much work on the layout.

Morning ramblers.

Whilst it is Friday, I am very saddened by the loss of your little friend, Jim. My compassion for animals spreads far and wide and has no bounds, so I'm sending support your way.

Sorry for your loss of a greatly loved pet Jim. Today is our wedding anniversary and yes we did get hitched on a Friday. A new grand daughter this week and attending the baptism of the second one this Sunday with a big family celebration. Officially on Monday all Covid restrictions are eased and it is " Freedom Day". Hopefully life will get back to normal. Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning! Sorry for your loss Jim.  I'm spending the day putting the house back together after the carpet installation.  It took them 3 days to complete the job, but we are very happy with the workmanship. I'm trying to split my time between getting all the stuff out of my train room and helping the boss move things upstairs.  I how do you think that's going. ::) I hope everyone has a great day.  Orders coming in - F&SM picture will have to wait for tomorrow.


It sure was nice to hear a good report from Dan!

Pegi and I are saddened to hear of the loss y'all are experiencing.  :'(

You're right, it will get a little better every day, but there will always be that small sadness in a corner of your heart and loving memories of a wonderful friend.....
