When I reached my 50’s I found I could do things that I could never do in my 20’s.Like find 40’s women attractive.

AND FOLLOW ME"

"I VOW TO THEE, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace."

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope you got enough done today that you’ll be able to relax and enjoy Ashlie’s visit tomorrow.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Let me guess ... you’re kicked back watching college football this evening. :-)

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor! *HUGZ*

How are things up your way? Did the rain system that’s trundled it’s way across this half of the country give you much trouble?
Not much rain out of it here but it’s certainly been raw the past three days. brrrr

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to the MacNessa family.

Hope you had a lovely day of restfulness.

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Let me guess ... you’re kicked back watching college football this evening. :-)

WHOA, you must be psychic! 😁

Yup, watching my main team right now. Pretty much been watching football for most of the day, my one big TV splurge.

Tomorrow I'll go see daughter and visit the pups.

We're getting some nice rain here tonight, freshens the air.

Wassup with you?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy! No rest in Castle MacNessa - we're on watch 24/7 here. Working heavy hours in the belly of the beast. kathy

Picking them up and putting them down, Radu.

*HUGS*

We have rain again as we have had for the last several weeks - not so bad as we expected it to be up to this point.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Cold Heart, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

And you are welcome.

[radu]

No ESP required on that one. It was an easy guess. LOL!

Ooooo, double the pleasure tomorrow. Seeing your daughter AND the pups. Gonna be a fun day. I hope the rain stops so you can take the lil wild man outside to burn off some steam and entertain you. :-)

Been a raw day here. We had a few folks pop by the museum but it was a fairly slow day overall.

Now watching old movies on tv. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir just went off and The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is coming on. My fave Don Knotts movie.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Amazing Grace
(Click)
By John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

[radu]

Glad the system didn’t drown y’all. They’d initially made it sound like it would be a mess along the coast.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND
OUR BELOVED NATION!

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy. Amen.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Hope your day’s been a good one.

I shoulda asked you to huff and puff to blow your warmer temps over here sooner. It’s supposed to warm up tomorrow but it would have been nice if it had done it today. brrrrrr!
