FReeper Canteen ~ Hall of Heroes: Eddie Rickenbacker ~ 24 October 2016

To: Kathy in Alaska

Good review.

I read rickenbachers autobiography a few years ago. Great book. At the end, he made predictions for the future which included his concept what is now Fedex and Al Gore’s famous Internet. The book was written in 1963

Howdy, Kathy! (((hugs)))

I think tomorrow I will really feel retired! This morning I had to get up early for worship and so it just didn’t work so well for that! LOL!

I did have a brief thought this morning about what to wear to....no! I don’t HAVE to worry about that any more! :)

Don’t look now, but I think the little green men have arrived. :o

LOL! No more worrying about “what am I going to wear tomorrow”.

YIKES!! It’s 19 degrees at my house and it’s not quite 9pm.

To: Kathy in Alaska

Yikes! I think you’re hoarding the coolness! LOL! It’s 67 here and supposed to get up to 83 tomorrow. I’ll bet we go from hot to snow on the ground one of these fine days in November. Right now, the leaves on the trees are mostly still green.

Have y’all had snow yet?

Snowed about 3” Thursday night, Friday morning. But it had rained for hours before turning to snow....streets are very icy.

To: Kathy in Alaska

Oh, my! Hate that you have to go to work in that mess! Stay safe!
.....or stay home. LOL! Bet you have tons of sick time to use. :)

Just sayin’.....

Well, in spite of the fact that I can sleep. in in the morning, I guess I’d better go start that sleep. My kitties are going to be wondering where the heck I am! LOL!

My hubby just came to the door a bit ago and said in a rather loud voice that startled me....”happy first day of retirement” LOL! He’s so funny!
