(((hugs))) Goodnight--dream your sweet dreams!

See ya next time, same place--but probably not the same time! LOL!

Hope you and your kids have a great summer!

[Bethbg79]

Yummmmmm-eeeeee those look good!

[MoJo2001]

HANDS OFF SISTER!

[Fudd Fan]

What a cute kitty!

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! I've missed the Canteen for the past couple of nights, tried to get to sleep at a decent hour.

[luvie]

How long does it take to get the license? You can really make good tips if you work in a popular club. I had a friend who was a bartender and she did very well. It was hard work, and she had to fend off the crazies, but she liked doing it. She was a night owl, so that helped.

[EsmeraldaA]

Thankee! Kathy

[GodBlessUSA]

Beautiful Canna(? right)! I read about your veggie garden. I wish you were our neighbor. LOL! You have a lot of delicious veggies growing.

We have been lucky so far. Not too hot except a few days. The temps are great here now. Knock on wood. :)

I'm addicted to gardening. LOL! :)

[HiJinx]

Wow, doesn't that look like just around the corner...?!

[MoJo2001]

*HUGS*
Wondering where you went.
Decent sleep?
Shhhh...don't say such tawdry things around Ma. SHe wouldn't know the meaning of 'decent sleep'. Hehe!

[Bethbg79]

Two weeks! I'm gonna love it. *Big grin*

[NYTexan]

Hey Luv, tell 'em ta save me a rattlesnake tail or 2!

I'd be honored ta take care of the varmints !!

Tell Mr. LUV that high powered rifles in low calibers are definitely fun ta shoot!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well, ms b. Thanks for helping honor our troops.

[luvie]

Oh, you're gonna have to share those with more than just Beth and Es--they look yummy and I have never tried them yet! So just move on over and let me at em! LOL!

[luvie]

I think you will love it, too! You just have such an outgoing personality and that is what is takes. And think of all the cute guys you'll meet! Yeeehaawwww!

[Bethbg79]

LOL! I know right? MMM MMM MMM....I don't expect to find my next husband there but dinner and drinks are always nice. :-)

[MoJo2001]

The word "sharing" is like the word "work"..it isn't in my vocabulary list.

Try again.
Ma...give them cookies. THOSE ARE MINE! MINE! MINE!!
LOL!

[HiJinx]

Yes, but what about the daddy question? LOL!

You're probably asking the wrong person. MoJo hasn't had the birds and bees talk, yet. And nobody wants to take on that task, 'cause MoJo is really naive where that kind of thing is concerned...she's so young, y'know!

[luvie]

Hey--I'll tell them in the morning (they have long since gone to bed) to save a couple of them, and IF I get to go on the May trek, I'll bring them to you!

There are plenty of varmints to go around. I think they even have a couple of cougars hanging around too. They have been seen by more than one person on a nearby state highway. *shudder*

He likes to shoot rifles, but really prefers shooting his 45--needs the practice! He's licensed to carry, but thank goodness, he doesn't.

[ValerieUSA]

Dancing? That is something I'll never be good at... dang.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL!! I needed that.
