TO THE

FReeper Canteen

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

AWESOME

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Star, for preparing
the Canteen for today’s activities.
The Christmas truce is an amazing story.

Checking in.

Everyone ready for a NEW YEAR?
Gosh, where did 2014 go?
I'm certainly ready for it since
I'll be retiring from the rat-race in 2015.
So, it will be a busy year for me in many ways;
lots to prepare for.
(I'll probably be getting advice from Pro :~p )

Time for me to make my rounds.
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops company
as long as you can.

Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

It's going OK. Had much better luck with Bo out at the lake this weekend then on Christmas when I lost him for an hour and a half.

This time I was able to keep up with him without losing him while he was doing his thing.:-{}

Today is the nicest day we're going to have this week. Supposed to start getting colder tomorrow. We may end up getting some sleet and freezing rain later this week. :-(

Good thing you and Bo are back in sync.

Our weather is supposed to go down into the 40s again (fingers crossed it doesn’t go lower as I’ve been enjoying the mild winter) but by weekend rain and 50s.

Snow Paws did fine, He knows the Doggie Motel and the People there. It’s a nice place with caring people.

He got lots of love when he was picked up and when he got home.

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is going well...but I haven’t left the house yet. LOL! Hope you and Bo had a good weekend and he didn’t try to “escape” again! Any critters to chase since it’s been so cold?

Good morning night owl ((HUGS))

Bored? How can you be bored when retired? Don’t you have other interests besides work? Travel? Crafts? Learning to cook :) Or go part time.

There is so much one can do when retired. It is only limited by one’s imagination.

I’m getting ready to sign off and do some chores. Have a wonderful day.

Morning Beachie!

Yeah, where did 2014 go, indeed!

I had a good weekend with the kids over Saturday after I returned from my sisters.

Lots of both pro and college football to watch this time of year too.

Have a great day!

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Yes, I know I’m on the wrong thread. I won’t have time to post on Tuesday’s thread as I have a dental appointment first thing this morning; thus I’m catching up on pings.

Sorry I missed you yesterday...did you sleep late or what? I got into a cleaning frenzy and had to sign off. LOL

Waaa…our weather is turning colder, especially the nights. But we’re getting rain instead of snow, so that’s good.

Glad to hear you had a good time with family during the holidays. Did any of your teams win? Hubby’s Wolverines haven’t been doing so well.

Our Redskins have sucked lately. Seems they need (almost) all new players. Even when they have a decent quarterback, it seems like the receivers can’t catch or fumble, and the defense allows to many sacks. Our young son doesn’t like the Ravens but they’re a lot better team so I watch them when available. Hubby’s home team (Detroit) made it into the play offs. YooHoo!

Guess, I’d better finish my pings and have another cup of coffee before I go.

Have a totally, terrific Tuesday.
