Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? In improving health?

We are warm again...possible rain showers this evening.

[ConorMacNessa]

I did indeed Sally Forth today - a little later than usual. I took a later train in than I usually do.

I'm feeling much better, thank you - finally! Still some minor congestion, but not anything like a few days ago. I will go to Choir tomorrow evening - my voice is still in sad shape - hopefully, by Sunday will have enough voice to contribute to the Liturgy.

It has been cold here - we bought another 1/2 cord of firewood - much needed. A few nights ago we were getting ready to start breaking up furniture. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m off to get a hair cut....a trim for you, Connie.

Be back later.

[ConorMacNessa]

SAFE PASSAGE, KATHY!!!



I HAVE YOUR SIX!!!

[The Mayor]

Tanks!

[ConorMacNessa]

Pete Carroll is one of the most hateful individuals I have ever seen. At Southern Cal, he regularly ate my Fighting Irish for breakfast. In the NFL, he has destroyed my Redskins, along with every other team in sight. I have little hope for the Packers.

Hateful, yes - probably the greatest coach in recent history, both college and pro.

How I hate him!!!

[SkyDancer]

Giggidy .... hope he runs the score into the sixties!

Hi everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac....I’m safely home and itchy.

Only 2 hours sleep last night, a major cold has invaded my head, and I think early bed sounds like a plan.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How's it going?

[E.G.C.]

WELCOME 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
Making a quick stop to check out what those wonderful
military people have been up to.

Guess what. Woke up to warmer temps this morning.
Around freezing temps but it's warmer than the teens.
And, we will be near 40 by this afternoon.
Come on spring!

The FR Canteen is

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.
