SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities

Sorry I missed getting to the Canteen yesterday.
Hard to do when hubby is home
plus had major chores to do since none
got done while we were without power.

Hope everyone had a wonderful time and
enjoyed major cookouts and fireworks.
We stayed home and chilled.
I watched Independence Day which
has been a semi-tradition for me.
Saturday will be a cookout day with family.
Not sure how long I'll stay
cause right now they are predicting
103 (without heat index).

~ Today...High 98F. Hot and humid. Heat index near 105F.
Isolated thunderstorms this morning,
then partly cloudy during the afternoon hours.
Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

~ Tonight...Mostly clear. Humid. Low 76F. Winds light and variable.

Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a dash of that...

The body has 70,000 miles of blood vessels.
The heart pumps blood through this labyrinth
and back again once every minute.

The striped skunk can fire its musk stream
accurately for up to 12 feet,
and even farther with a cooperative downwind.

A diamond will not dissolve in acid.
The only thing that can destroy it is intense heat.

There are no penguins at the North Pole.
In fact, there are no penguins anywhere
in the Northern Hemisphere (outside of zoos).
All 17 varieties of the bird are found
below the equator, primarily in the Antarctica.

I've got to make my rounds.
It's getting harder and harder
for me to get to the Canteen.
With the slowness of either FR or the network,
it's taking me longer and longer to post each morning.
As hard as it is for me to do
I think I will shorten my morning post.
Expect changes to start soon.

But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

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.

Hiya Beachie!!

I didn't do much for the 4th either, it was more fun when the kids were young.

Weather is nice here, suppose to be 80ish this week which is plenty hot for me!

Enjoy your time off and we'll see ya soon!

Good morning ladies and (((HUGS))) to you. It was hot here, but we enjoyed the day. We made some really good BBQ that we ate late in the day.

Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

Happy Thursday to you! I will be staying inside today - not fit for man or beast out there! 



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
