Good morning, E...((HUGS))...had some action this evening. My Mom fell. I can’t get her up myself, so I called the non-emergency fire department line. They came and had her up in minutes.

I’m beat and off to bed.

You and Bo have a great day.

TO THE

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Making a quick stop to check out the latest.

Woke up to a slight rise in temps but
it'll go down hill as the next storm
makes its way east.
*sigh*
Right now
(you know how quickly that changes)
word is we will be warmer by FRiday.
Now I'm off to check pings.

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

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.

Here’s an idea for an invention...sounds like you could have used it, and I know for sure that I could. I’ve been in that situation, too, where I can’t get someone up who has fallen.

Start with a chair seat with a very low profile (2-3” off the floor), so the person can roll over and up onto it. Have it incorporate something like a scissors jack, so that you can raise it to normal chair height - 24-28”. Then, the person can just stand up! (Assuming no bones were broken in the fall!)
