Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Thank you, fatima, for preparing
the Canteen for today's activities.
It's always interesting to see what others pick.
And sometimes one can hear a song for the first time.

Well, hubby's off visiting family, so
I'm up in the wee hours and can't go back to sleep.
Guess I'll be doing a lot of chores in the dark hours. LOL
Today is going to be a "multi-cup" coffee day!

We need rain!

Please hang around the FR Canteen ...
chat up the troops and their families.

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful weekend.

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS open
for our Military, Allies, and families.Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

“Giddyup Go” by Red Sovine

[DoodleDawg]

You Were Born by Cloud Cult. Not very obvious at first but it's a father singing to his child.

Also Dear Theodosia from "Hamilton. The Revolution is over and Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton return home to meet their children, a daughter and son respectively, for the first time.

Delighted to share. Dream On is my favorite rock lullaby.

“Skip a Rope” by Henson Cargill
“You Can’t be a Beacon (If Your Light Don’t Shine)” By Donna Fargo
Donna also had a great patriotic song called “U.S. Of A.”

[dangus]

Oh, Eric Clapton brings up the ultimate father’s tear-jerker:
Tears in Heaven.

If you don’t know, he wrote the song after his son was killed in an accident in the home.

Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven?
I’ll find my way through night and day ‘Cause I know I just can’t stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door there’s peace I’m sure and I know there’ll be no more tears in heaven.

[Focused Fury]

My personal favorite hasn't changed over the years, It is “That silver-haired Daddy of mine”,authored and performed by the late Gene Autry. It is a heart-wrenching lament of regret and longing.

“Father and Son”
Cat Stevens

What a great singer. You have to wonder what he could have accomplished if he had not gone off the deep end.

[frank ballenger]

Death of Eric Clapton’s son. So sad. To come home and see the emergency crews there for his suddenly dead son would be impossible to accept.

Tragic story.

Gooood mornin', Early Birds!
I was up reeeeeally late last night.
Watching coverage of the fires in the L.A. area.
A very dangerous situation.
I hope none of you or your families are impacted!
It's a LOT cooler this morning.
46 instead of in the 80s. WOOHOO!
Y'all all have a Fantastic Friday!
((((hugs))))
