TO THE

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.

(by my fav. SIL)

Going to check pings, then go for a walk before it gets hot.
It's cool so far but going to get warmer.
And humidity is coming back...
and higher temps return next week.
But oh...oh...oh...the last two days was almost fall-like
and gave our a/c (and electric bill) a nice break.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

Well, we got some more rain yesterday. Had a storm move through to our East. The storm alarm went off for a t-storm warning.

Did get some badly needed rain though and it feels much more comfortable this morning than it should be in July.

[beachn4fun]

Yeah, we had that cool spell most of this week so far. Felt nice.
