Good morning to our

AWESOME

military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Wait! Do I see Dangerous Duck? No, darn, he's been and gone. hehe

~ Today... Mostly cloudy. A chance of rain this afternoon. Highs in the lower 50s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30 percent.

~ Tonight...Rain...Mainly after midnight. Lows in the mid 40s. East winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent.

Umph…ouch…cleaned up some leaves and dead plants near the front steps yesterday and certain muscles are screaming this morning.

Well, the nice walk I had yesterday might have added to it.

Argggggggggg! There are gremlins in my computer or ISP or WWW.

I'm going to have to post and make my rounds quickly.

A slow computer is going to put me in a foul mood.

Off to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial.
And, remember – I’ll be watching!

The FR 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

It does look that way. It’s a bit chilly for going out barefooted
to get the paper...as I found out! LOL! Actually, I would
love some non-pretty rain for a change! We are crispy critters
around here.

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Yummy! Sounds like a good start to your day.

And, I’ve noticed you’ve been texting from a Blackberry. New toy?

BTW, I’m doing better. Just found out that my new computer was delivered yesterday. Hope I get my hands on it soon. I still have to get the IT guy to transfer everything from this computer to the new one. Can’t wait. Feel like a kid on Christmas eve. LOL
