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.

Fabulous FRiday
FAVORITES

Tell us about your
favorite New Years Tradition(s).

KISSING
The purpose of kissing a loved one at midnight
is to bring good luck to the relationship
for the next year.

EATING
Pork is a lucky food for New Year’s day
because pigs root forward when they eat.

Southerners believe eating black-eyed peas
on New Year’s Day brings fortune,
while others believe lentil soup is lucky.

Watch The Ball Drop?
Do you go? Or watch it on television?

A TOAST?
A toast is a ritual
in which a drink is taken
as an expression of honor or goodwill.

Or do you sleep in the New Year?

How do you ring in the New Year?

Remember, the Canteen is a family friendly place.
We welcome the military, our allies, and their families.
Continued prayers for the success and completion of your mission.
Prayers for your safe return home.

Well, Early Birds, it DID snow...
...just not very much!
I do have my red on for the troops, though. :)
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
Stay warm!

Good morning Meg ((HUGS))

How was your holiday?

[MEG33]

I think all snow was west of me..We are barely damp..I am hoping for more rain. It doesn’t look promising on radar.

(((HUGS)))
My niece, daughter and son in law were here (delayed as my SIL had strep throat)..We had a lovely visit.

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Happy FRiday!

Now I have to ask...was that condition (how you rang in NY) due to a) sleeping, or b) being inebriated? LOL

My goodness, what ever are you going to do after the games are over? hehe

I will play the dutiful wife this weekend and watch the playoffs with hubby.

Hope your FRiday is fabulous and funky!

[luvie]

It fell heavier west and south of us...in the Davis Mountains and Big Bend area mostly. We have a dusting.

The moisture is VERY welcome! Stay warm! :)

Good morning dear ((HUGS))

Is Murf prancing around at the door waiting and wondering WHY you have gone for a walk yet? LOL

[Arrowhead1952]

Yes, she is wondering why I am sitting at the computer this morning.

[Arrowhead1952]

Hope he is getting better. My cousin had laryngitis during the Christmas holidays and had to miss family visits and church. She is just now getting better.

Conor, I have prayed every day and night for you, for a long time,
Just as you have prayed for so many of your friends here, including me!
My prayers will continue for you to have a New Year of renewed strength, and good health!

[luvie]

Howdy! Things are going well...hope you and Bo are doing well, too!

[HiJinx]

Y’know, that Marine could be the spittin’ image of SandRat in about 15 years...

[HiJinx]

Ya mean your local WalMart doesn’t carry them? Or Krogers?

LOL!!! Would you believe nobody in SE AZ sells ice scrapers? I had to order mine from an online catalog.

[Drumbo]

Interupting this thread for a gratuitous Canteen Pimp:

Don't Miss Tonight's

[SandRat]

You are right, but perhaps the spitting image in 20 years, if I last that long.

[HiJinx]

You’ll make it another 20, no sweat.
You’re too durned ornery not to!

[SandRat]

Based on that,...I may make it 20+.

The new company getting any smaller (more lay offs)?

[HiJinx]

No layoffs, but we do have people looking for greener pastures.
