Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

AWESOME

military, our allies, and their families

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

A very lovely thread and
nice history reminder.

I watched the Memorial Day concert
on WETA last night
(try to catch it every year)
and their stories break your heart
one moment, and
swell with pride the next.

And, let's not forget the families
who take care of the wounded, or
suffer the loss of a loved one.

O P E N

So, come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea
pancakes, conversation,
silliness, and plain old BS

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.

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. Happy Memorial Day.

Well, everybody made at least one mistake (including yours truly) but the best thing was EVERYBODY pressed on, and nobody burst into tears or quit!

That's even better than a "Perfect recital"!

The venue was gorgeous (and worth every $$$), the kids were dressed elegantly, and it came in under 2.5 hours.

The first act, was the little kids on piano and singing, and at least 3 could be classified as "special needs" or even "troubled". Oddly enough, these were the ones who did the BEST job, especially with the singing. And they were NOT singing "kiddie" songs. They were doing authentic versions of Broadway and Movie standards.

Needless to say...there were LOTS of mommy-tears!

On a scale of 1-10:

Mistakes:5
Professionalism and guts:10
Overall enjoyment:10
AND...I got all the left-over food. I'll eat for a week!

:-)


"These ARE my "Church Clothes!"


BTW, the Church Service in the morning was wonderful too. My Guitar player let me use his bass and amp so I did not have to unload mine, and the congregation helped me load the car so I was able to get on the road by noon.

I think that they were so shocked to see me in a sundress, that they REALLY treated me like a lady.

Kathy, well done, beautiful thread... thank you.

Morning Beachie!

A nice sunny morning out here on this solemn occasion of Memorial Day.

I came back home noon yesterday after a nice visit with BIL and sister. My nephew was there too; he's been teaching school in Guatemala.

Daughter was busy this time, but son is coming over in awhile to have breakfast and hang out.

I hope your day is grand, catch up with you soon.

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

Happy Memorial Day to you.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi beachn4fun! Have a good day.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Happy Memorial Day.

Glad to see you had a good visit & safe trip. Did your nephew regale you with tales of teach IN Guatemala?

We’ve had absolutely beautiful weather; my kind of spring. Hubby has been grilling; perfecting his craft, and all I had to do was provide side dishes. At least that helped since I’ve been busy with house things.

Today, is definitely a rest and do-nothing day.

Hope you and son-boy have a great day.

Back on schedule tomorrow.
