Tomkow twisted the chef's arm and made all kinds of burka-related threats demanding that the Canteen celebrate National Waffle Day. Thank goodness this day only comes once a year!

Almost 8:30p.....PERFECT TIMING!!

[Zacs Mom]

Evening Kathy in Alaska & All!

It's late and I still a bunch of stuff to do before I rest my weary head, so I just have time for one quick post ~

Welcome Home David!!!

Our troops and their families are in my prayers, as are all working to support them!

I thank the Lord each day that I was born an American ~ 'cause if you're lucky enough to be an American, you're lucky enough!

and, finally, my contribution (such as it is) to the threads theme: Welcome To The Waffle House!

(well, sort of anyway)

;^) enjoy!
and g'night!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Eggo makes low carb??????? And I already have low carb syrup/jelly. Gotta find me some of those.

Did you send all of those stinking senators back home to Washington?

Gag me, like they would have a clue.

Due to personal stuff, it lookslike the Good Stuff is going away for 1 to 2 weeks. Sorry, y'all, but I just had a plumber tell me I need a $1500-2000 job done, and that means beating the bushes for writing work every available minute.

Wow! You mean people get paid for writing stuff? Holy Cow, Mr. S! One prayer away!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oops! Thanks for the Pancakes (and Waffles) on Wednesday.
