  1. Thanks so much, Terry. I will correct that video link!
    Low 70's! That's, to me, the PERFECT temperature! ENJOY! 🥰

  2. Hi Chris! Skewer photos have my tummy grumbling and I'm (almost) drooling on my phone screen. The song link for On Eagles Wings actually goes to Agnus Dei. Great choice for a default!
    Have a blessed one 🙏. We're actually going to break into the low 70s today. Beats the 52-65 we've had for the last 2 weeks!
