Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies and their families.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities. And, for the advanced notice. I think this will call for a cyber-party. Gotta go plan a party.....yipeeeeeeee............

I'm glad there's something exciting going on today. My day is not starting off very well. I left the keys to my office at home. I do not have a spare. I was hoping and praying that the guy who has a master key was coming in today. Luckily, he did. I got into my office, but I cannot open a couple of the drawers in my desk, cause they have a different key. So, in essence, I am only partly here and ready!

Monday......Monday......Monday........what can I say? Now seriously, whatz so great about Mondays, huh?

Here's coffee for those in need

I know there are some of you (I won't mention any names) who prefer tea, this is for you

Of course, we only have the best milk. Original stuff. Not that fake stuff

Warning: approach with caution. (he....he.....heeeee)

Ahhhh.....I heard one of this kidz was missing! Did someone put out an Amber Alert for Ms. Feather? Oh, I see she's been found. Hmmm......now I have to see if Ma put her in the corner for giving us a scare! Probably not, she is Queenie after all, and gets away with a lot of stuff us other kidz can't.

And, for all newbies or lurkers who have shown up at the Canteen and I have missed giving you a "formal" welcome, this is for you

Now, I must be off. Got shopping and party planning to do. I sure hope I manage to get this cyber-party ready before David gets home. Gosh.....rush....rush.....rush......So, please excuse me......

But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's alway plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

Good morning Canteeners, Cubies & Newbies, and a special welcome home to David! A beautiful morning here in Maryland; wish I had time to wake up on the beach, but DoD and NSA want their equipment from us, sooooo........take the money and run! Enjoy the day, all!

Doing OK. here. My sister and family came by for a visit yesterday from the city. We talked about what's been going on.

Flash Flood Watch for parts of Oklahoma this morning. Some areas have received 5-6 inches over the last several days.

wOO hOO...........

David is home. You now what that means? Cyber Party!! Get your party clothes on.

David

Queenie was nice enough to loan the Limo to take us all to the party. So, guess what? That means there ain't no excuse for not coming to welcome David home. So, climb aboard and let's get this party rolling.

We’ve got music…….

We’ve got dancers……..

We’ve got amusement…….

We’ve got food……

And, we’ve got drink…..

However, at a cyber party you're only allowed 2. We don't encourage drinking and FReeping. You know what they say, FRiends don't let FRiends drink and FReep.
