Canteen FRiends ~ Radix

[Soaring Feather]

Say What Tonkin???
Ma, did you see this??
Tonkin put this up for us!!

[Soaring Feather]

I'm here Sarge!!
The painters left and I am locked in this corner and can't get out!

[Fawnn]

I'm working on my food column. Honest!

HOWEVER, a search of the hard drive turned up this "gem" from the journal. I could retitle it "Different Day, Same Stuff." ;)

I wrote this a couple of days ago. It probably describes the mood lately better than a narrative would anyhow.

Hunger

Pickles
Preferably homemade bread and butter ones
Except for the candied sweet ones
That belong in macaroni salad.
Rich dark chocolate.
Caffeinated soft drinks:
Namely, plenty of
Icy, chilled to perfection,
Mountain Dew
Served in a frosted goblet.
Beef stroganoff crepes.
Yes, even quiche!
Especially with broccoli.
Prime rib and new red potatoes.
A juicy, grilled strip steak
With lots of garlic,
Unless it's a boneless rib steak
With my special rub
Or a grilled hamburger
Topped with fresh tomato.
Real french fries.
Bacon. Eggs. Hash browns.
Toast or homemade bread
With real butter.
Seedless blackberry jam.
Cinnamon and sugar and real vanilla.
Pecan waffles with
Real maple syrup
(and real butter for them, too).
Lobster. Crab legs. Shrimp.
Angel hair pasta in Alfredo sauce,
Topped with lots of fresh-ground Parmesan,
Of course.
A fresh salad with bleu cheese dressing
Or Roquefort.
Amish bakery angel food cake.
A thick, thick hot fudge shake.
Homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Cheesecake!

I need to cook dinner
Or find love.
Soon!

Hungry now? ;)

[Old Sarge]

Oh, like we've heard THAT before. I thought you were doing the painting yourself? Hmmm?

This just in : Momma Cat 1 Mouse 0

She knocked him silly. The "stunned" loser got a trip down the road before he was released.

[Soaring Feather]

I was going to do the side walls, but decided no way. I will just have to suffer through this! :-( The painters have been doing ceilings, they are nearly 15' high, I'm only a Little Blonde FReeper!!

Mmmmmm, that cozy fire sure makes the Canteen mighty inviting and comfy to all who come here.

*HUGZ* and Thank You Military men and Canteen guyz!!!

A lil mousie here wasn't quite so fortunate this morning. No trip down the road for release.....it was presented on the back porch as a "present". EEEEEUUUUU!!
Found another "present" (a bird) by the carport door, too. ICK!! I wish the kitties weren't so "generous". LOL!

[Hondo1952]

Where did you get all that information on me?

[tomkow6]

My "fat cat" (age 16) is doing alot of "hunting" with the phoney mice that I buy her. I swear that she's going into her "second kitten-hood"! She's up all night, prowling the house, makin' noises, & bringing up the "phoney" mice & other small toys, that she "caught", & dropping them within reach!

[tomkow6]

Ya STILL got SKINNY LEGGS!!!!!

[tomkow6]

Where did you get all that information on me?

What do you expect, BROWN NOSER that you are????

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Where did you get all that information on me?"

Just post this as a graphic.
NOTE: Only YOU can see what isp you are etc.
All I can see is mine.

Do you have any battery-operated toy mousies for her to "hunt"? We have two different ones and it's a riot to watch. Half the kitties are afraid of them and the others go bonkers trying to catch them. LOL!!

One is touch-activated....touch it and it runs around for a few seconds....and we leave that one on all the time. It's fun to watch the kitties walk up to it, whack it with a paw, then chase it. hehehe!!

[Hondo1952]

Am not. I just wondered where my information came from that popped up in the thread all of a sudden.

[Hondo1952]

[tomkow6]

No, where can I get those battery powered thingings? Her biggest play thing right now is an empty paper grocery bag!

[Hondo1952]

Hey troublemaker.

Since you asked earlier I'll tell you. I talked to Beth a few minutes ago and her entire family is sick. She said tell everyone hello and her cable is supposed to be tied back together tomorrow. If she feels up to it she will stop in to say hello. She didn't sound good, so I wouldn't count on seeing her for a couple of days.

AM NOT.
