For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in

Good Morning Troops, Veterans, Military Families, Allies and FRiends!
Welcome to a special edition of Pancakes. The theme is celebration!
We have so much to celebrate thanks to those who serve and sacrifice.

The chef would like to share a couple of seasonal recipes:
Gingerbread Pancakes and Eggnog Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce.

Today's Birthdays

Handy Latin Phrases
when describing our troops . . . in Latin:
suaviter in modo, fortiter in re
"gently in manner, strongly in deed"

On this Day in History
1944 General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
future President of the United States,
received his fifth star

Happy Bill of Rights Day!

That is really an awesome tune .. and think that Townsend did all that before everyone and their brother had computer technology. That is pretty cool if you ask me

Good morning Kathy. No fair!!
You have the same temp as Meeky, and both are warmer than Austin.

B-r-r-r-r!

Yeah, it shows 22 in Austin right now. 31 here and 24 in Anchorage.

We got down to ~25 overnight they said on WBAP 820AM radio.

Some surrounding areas saw as low as 15, too! :^O

Time to start a FIRE!

Ah! MUCH better! :^D

I think I need psychiatric care. I'm trying to get into the holiday spirit but have a bad case of troops on the brain (out of sympathy for those so very far from home), so while I was driving in to the salt mines this morning, I had the military version of the 12 Days of Christmas running through my head.

Drill Sergeant gave to me...
Five MREs
Four claymore mines
Three ruck sacks
Two magazines
And a morning without PT

Anyone more creative than me care to take a stab at this?

"It was so hot during the summer that we'd turn on fans, get nekkid, drape wet towels over ourselves, and drop ice cubes on top of the towels to try to cool off."

 

Got any pitchers??????
