I didn’t know he was doing a hurricane stream tonight. I knew about the storm because I’ve kept an eye on things with Bermuda in mind. My cousin who lives there said things are in pretty good shape after the two storms they’ve had this year and he hopes they don’t have any more.

He’s fine for now but it looks like LA is about to get another hit.

As for us, I figure another cold front will come through just in time to hold any rain to the south of us - - like it’s already done this year. *sigh*
We need it because we’re choking on dust but at the same time, it’s harvest time and they can get crops in if they’re wet.

A very pleasant good Monday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks for this morning's thread, Kathy.

How's everyone doing this morning?

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Did you have another crowd at the lake yesterday?

Any KFC leftovers for supper this evening or did you and Gizmo scarf it all down yesterday? :-)

On the other hand, when they harvest, all that dust they stir up is going to KILL your sinuses! 2020 just continues to laugh and laugh and laugh.

It’s already killing our sinuses and HAS been. That’s why we’d love to have some rain.
But the farmers who are harvesting right now are glad it’s dry.

Well, there was a guy with two kids who was around the ramp area. Then he left and we went to the area around the former bait house. As we were heading towards the pavilion, we saw he was there so we hung out around the campground which thankfully was empty.

When he left, that's when we finally got into the pavilion and hung out there.

We had a great time yesterday.

And, yes we did get the KFC chicken. Still have some left for today.

Here are the pics from Comanche Lake yesterday.

Sounds like a pretty good day overall. I see Gizmo dragged you through the trees again. LOL

Well, hope for their sakes that the rain holds off. It is, after all, what they’ve worked for all year. Just buy stock in Kleenex.

Guess I’d better go. It’s been a very long day and I’m kind of dropping off. See ya tomorrow!

You ARE still awake. Just asleep at the wheel. LOL

Yeah, getting those crops in is important for them. As crazy as the summer was, the crops have all looked pretty good and it would stink if rain delayed getting them in.
Farming is a gamble.

We’re keeping Kleenex in business. LOL I just bought more yesterday.

Sleep well!

Good morning, Canteen.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Hat tip to

United States Marine Corps

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

It's o-dark-thirty, so I'm sneaking into the Canteen
to say howdy before we head out for the day.
I don't get to stop in at the Canteen like I used to, but
still try to sneak a peek at what's going on.

Hope everyone had a good summer and are safe and in good health.

Please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

Come 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.

Good Morning Kathy! (((HUGS))) Ya, Sunday was a good day to stay in and watch football (yukking as it was) but GO HAWKS! 4-0 and the 49ers vs Eagles was dramatic down to the wire. We have an antenna so we don’t get counted in the viewership.

Good afternoon, luvie!

*HUGS*

It's great to see you today! We had a great weekend, thanks! Our son John-Man grilled a quartet of Rib-eyes to perfection. We enjoyed along with corn on the cob and sautéed mushrooms.

Howdy, Conor! (((hugs)))

Sounds like you had the perfect weekend! That ribeye sounds sooo good. It’s been forever since we’ve grilled a good steak. Maybe it’s time!

Have a lovely week!
