The FReeper Canteen Presents.....

"Christmas in July"

There's nothing like a few days of blistering 100 degree temperatures to make us wistful for the frosty months of winter. Throw in some high humidity and zero air movement and suddenly shoveling snow, navigating icy sidewalks and bundling up in layers of sweaters, scarves and jackets sounds like a mighty fun time.

It's hot, you're sweaty and longing for some relief from the heat, aren't you? And while thinking about winter, you're probably also dreaming of all those snowy nights of Christmas celebrations? Well, you can't actually change the season now, but the closest you can get to doing so is reduce the time left for Christmas and celebrate it now, in July. That's what many are doing year after year. An unofficial holiday, Christmas in July imitates the festivities of the actual Christmas and signifies our yearning for the coolness of winter amid the scorching summer months.

Soooo......krank up those A/C's, don your favorite sweater & let's all have some hot chocolate!

Whew! I just KNEW one of you would be faster than me. LOL

[radu]

Dang it! Took a quick peek at what my young, lonely stork was up to and blew it. LOL

WOOHOO! #100 is yours!

[luvie]

Thanks! They are good West Texas guys! One from Odessa, and the other from Wink...35 miles away.

Our church songleader played with Roy Orbison before he got his big start. They called themselves The Roses and recorded Devil Doll and the flip side that I can’t remember the name of, for Sun Records in Clovis, NM.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Get you some dims today!!

[radu]

I had everything ready to go. Was just gone a few seconds. Didn’t expect the jump so soon. Shoulda known better. LOL

[luvie]

Thanks! Hope your beautiful stork isn’t too lonely!

[luvie]

I just plunged. Figured with the two of you there, someone would have a faster trigger finger! :)

[radu]

You’re welcome.

She’s lonely but is getting fed by Dad. Two feedings this morning already.
Why she won’t fledge is beyond all of us. I thought she’d fledge before her brother. Some think the transmitter she was fitted with is uncomfortable or something.

[radu]

I don’t usually plunge that far from the marks. I just hit refresh often and make the move. But I just HAD to leave for a couple o’ seconds at the wrong time. LOL

One day I’ll learn. Or not. :-)

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

Our thanks go out to the Canteen DJ's for all their hard work in posting the music to today's thread.

[E.G.C.]

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

[luvie]

Oh, wow! I didn’t even know she had a transmitter! I never saw it. Maybe she is pacing herself. :) Or she’s just a daddy’s girl.

Good morning, Kathy!

*HUGS*

I am home - was discharged from hospital Thursday afternoon. The saga continues - I have an indwelling Foley in place and have periodic spasms - passing blood clots. I'm on pyridium - an antispasmodic.

It's uncertain at this juncture when I will return to work - it will not happen until the catheter is removed. I'm going in Monday to the local hyperbaric oxygen treatment center. This method of treatment is apparently quite successful for radiation cystitis and proctitis.

My urologists tell me that this malady is another late effect of the Radiation Therapy I received eight years ago for my prostate cancer. Agent Orange strikes again.

Hi, Radu!

*HUGS*

Not quite up to snuff at this juncture. It will be a restful weekend.

They put transmitters on some of the young birds whey they put the leg bands on them so they can track their migration. Rasa got one but Raivis didn’t.

Look at her upper back and you’ll see a little box with a stubby antenna sticking out of her feathers.

Raivis was back at the nest for a while and I hoped Rasa would follow him when he left again. But she’s alone at the nest now.

[radu]

Well hey there, Conor!!

Reckon it’ll take a little while to get back up to snuff after being knocked down. The fall probably didn’t help either.

If it’s anywhere near as hot up there as it is here, it’ll be a good weekend to lay low.

I think a lot of us are ready for fall even if it means winter is that much closer. LOL
