Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) Well hanging out for the evening in Newark (ugh) - not going anywhere but staying in the hotel with the rest of the crew - nice bar/grill though.
Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...are you on a scheduled layover, or stuff there?
Safe flights to home.
Hai! I’m on layover hoping to get out of here tomorrow around 10am-ish to Detroit, then Denver and home for four then back out again.

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Evening, Kathy. A shame we are losing so many of our heroes.
Bible in a Year:
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
Louise suffers from muscular dystrophy. While trying to exit a train station one day, she found herself facing a large flight of stairs without an elevator or escalator. On the verge of tears, Louise saw a man suddenly appear, pick up her bag, and gently help her up the stairs. When she turned to thank him, he was gone.
Michael was late for a meeting. Already stressed from a relationship breakdown, he started battling London’s traffic only to get a flat tire. As he stood helplessly in the rain, a man stepped out of the crowd, opened the boot (trunk), jacked up the car, and changed the wheel. When Michael turned to thank him, he was gone.
Who were these mysterious helpers? Kind strangers, or something more?
The popular image we have of angels as radiant or winged creatures is only half true. While some appear this way (Isaiah 6:2; Matthew 28:3), others come with dusty feet, ready for a meal (Genesis 18:1–5) and are easily mistaken for everyday people (Judges 13:16). The writer of Hebrews says that by showing hospitality to strangers, we can entertain angels without realizing it (13:2).
We don’t know if Louise and Michael’s helpers were angels. But according to Scripture, they could have been. Angels are at work right now, helping God’s people (Hebrews 1:14). And they can appear as ordinary as a person on the street.
What do you know about angels? Can you think of an instance when you may have encountered one without realizing it at the time?
Thank You, God, for the angels You send, meeting us in our time of need.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
First Lieutenant Swett was on one of the episodes of World War II on AHC channel.
Howdy, Kathy.
Looks like it’s been a good weekend up there to hole up inside. Doggone, it’s cold!!!!
I am so glad you mentioned this. I was thinking I’d seen him on AHC but with my rotten memory .........
Nice to know it still works once in a while. LOL
I really had no desire to fly. The recruiter said “Sure Son, we can make you a heavy equipment mechanic”. That never happened.
The snow is melting. I may be able to get through my driveway tomorrow for the first time since Thanksgiving. Must be global warming /s.
Good evening, Mooch...it IS a shame that our heroes of the past are now lost. But we must never them, and honor new ones.
Hope you enjoyed your holiday season and weather is being nice.
Today has heated up from -20 to -8 right now. The whole week is supposed to stay in the minus numbers, then maybe warm up to mid teens and some snow on the weekend.
*HUG*
Hiya Ma!
Holy cow, that is COLD!
Hope you got to stay inside this weekend!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Good evening, Mayor, and thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
All rested and ready to take on the new week?
How is Mr B's shoulder doing?
I like this fellow
