WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.
I'm late again, but this time it's cause I was trying to read all the posts and checking out the pet pics.I don't have any pics of my current animals, but I can tell you that one of my favorites was a male siamese named Dinky. He was a retriever and hide-n-seeker. He loved to fetch and he would hunt me when I would hide behind something. When he found me he'd smack me on the head and run down the hall way to the bedroom waiting for me to chase him there. Back and forth we'd go. I had to give him up as we moved into an apartment (yes, condos were called that back then. LOL) where no pets were allowed.

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today.....Sunny to partly cloudy. High 67F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

~ Tonight..... Mostly clear. Low 47F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

I'll be around more today (keeping fingers crossed) while I wait for the end of year report.
A REMINDER: I will not be here tomorrow or Monday. Mr. Beachy and I will be on the road on those days. This is the weekend we go to North Carolina.

So, this is for Friday

And, this is for Monday

Now, I've got to make my rounds before I have to attack my work pile.

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 always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ....

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.



Join us on Saturday for some sweet music from the Canteen jukebox!

I’m not sure if there’s a shortage but it’s a god time to get one before the flu season gets into high gear.
