Good night and sleep tight, teen...*HUGS*...

Just finished a bit of homework....I'll be working a few hours on Friday. Finished shoveling the driveway...a couple inches. All the bare spots had already filled in before I finished. Oh well...at least those first inches are gone.

I don't sing, well once I did at church and in high school chorus but neither worked out. Don't know why to this day when Leon Redbone, Dr.John and Rod Stewart could become such big stars (two of which I really like.....the last can take a hike) but that's the way of the world.

Wrong time I guess.

Dang,all those guys are old. ;) LoL

My memory is very good and I'll remember that remark for a while.

What were we talking about, My?

Rack time, Friday's just minutes away and I don't like going to sleep tomorrow only to wake up tomorrow.

See ya!

A good man died last evening. Thanksgiving day, the day before his wife’s birthday.
He died of a cancer whose foundations were laid many years before in the jungles of Viet Nam. He began his last stand last winter.
He had retired four years prior and moved to Arkansas. He built a new home on 67 beautiful acres, got a little tractor and was thoroughly enjoying life.
By Janurary, he was unable to do physical labor, so my wife and I loaded up the two dogs in the Suburban and trekked south. They stillneeded a tornado shelter. As my area of expertise is concrete construction,I figured I was the one to do it.
His last good deed was to take in his daughter and two city kids. He had SO much to teach them and solittle time. I talked with him on the phone often and his proudest moment was when his Grandson got a job loading and hauling hay. Doing real work for real money.
I hope the grandson turns out to be half the man his Grandpa was. Can a man leave a better legacy than that?
RIP,Ken. You”re going to be missed.
PS; This MAN was my brother-in-law.

A very pleasant good morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How's it going?

[HiJinx]

It sounds like Ken left a solid legacy in his family...God Bless him, and may He smile on those left behind.

Thank you for sharing his story with us.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha Po, Hawaii, and sleep well. Thanks for helping honor and entertain our troops and thanks for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

RIP Ken...prayers of peace for you, your wife, and your family.

And God Bless you and your wife, snowtigger...that was quite a trek, and for a most noble cause.

Good morning, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Great to see you this morning! Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...did you get some turkey for Thanksgiving? A bite or 2 for Bo?

Have a great Friday. I’m off for some sleep, as I’m going into work for a few hours later. Losing 2 days in one week is a killer.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mac...*HUGS*...Thanksgiving was very quiet, but nice. I haven’t spent it here at home for 28 years. I have always gone to California...just couldn’t leave my folks for more than 2 weeks this year.

Was your Thanksgiving good? Lots of good food? Did Sir Winston get a bite of turkey?

I’m off to bed...gonna go into work for a few hours later.

Are you home today? Working?
