So relaxing and refreshing. 88 degrees, sunny and oppressive humidity when I left home- 69 degrees, partly cloudy and very low humidity when I got to Boone, NC. Just got some short walks in, drove around in the mountains with some time on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I also needed a break and a mental recharge.Ron Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217389199007968254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-85425041896981602072016-05-26T09:55:39.659-07:002016-05-26T09:55:39.659-07:00Hahaha!

Looking forward to it. As it was said in the Zashnokuma House near Itazuke A.B. in 1963 - "hooray, hooray, the first of May. Outdoor loving starts today!" Probably said elsewhere, as well.Dave's Daily Day Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491764990082380190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-41776244647708266482016-05-26T08:17:36.517-07:002016-05-26T08:17:36.517-07:00Thanks Skip.
