…time in their hidey holes where I’ve placed self-heating pads for them.

Awww…I’m so glad that you do that. 😻

Are you going anywhere? I’ll be in Houston and we’re going to be indoors by the fire!

[Songcraft]

Just a side note here --- I believe this guy may have been what they used to call a "secular Jew", but I think everyone would agree that he was a helluva songwriter, one of my favorites!

Here's just a few of his songs...

     "God Bless America" - Irving Berlin

     "Oh How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning" - Irving Berlin

     "White Christmas" - Bing Crosby

[radu]

THAT would be a miracle. LOL

SINGING IN FRONT OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS...
...AND GOD BLESS
AMERICA🎄🎄

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, jjotto...really nice song. Sobering...yes. Thanks for sharing...((HUGS))

[Songcraft]

You're right -- can't leave that one out!

Probably should've put this one in too...

     "Sugaree" - Grateful Dead

[radu]

It does bring back nice memories, doesn’t it?

Things are moving along here. I’m missing the weekends at the military museum since we’re closed for the winter. Mid-April, when we re-open, can’t get here soon enough. LOL

I’ll be staying put for Christmas. From the looks of the weather forecast for next weekend, I probably won’t leave the house. It’s going to be bitter cold and they say we’ll have some rain, turning to snow Friday. With the highs in the low to mid 20s and lows in the teens or even single digits, it’s not going to melt and the roads will be VERY slick.

[radu]

That could have helped. I don’t know enough about that sort of thing.
I just know that I love rock ‘n’ roll but NOT when the ground is doing it. LOL

[luvie]

They are my babies, even though I can't get them indoors. They depend on me. :) They are all fixed, and the kittens of Li'l Bit are notched, indicating that they belong to someone.

Li'l Bit is the mommy of the others. One more...a little Siamese...disappeared one night during our bout with covid, and we never saw her again. I just hope she was adopted by someone who would love her as we did. Of course, we have our two indoor babies, Peaches and Ginger.

I'd love to be going to Bryan, but since Christmas day is on Sunday, my hubby has obligations at our church that he can't pass on to others. We're a very small group. But we will try to get down there around Easter. We did spend Thanksgiving with them, so it hasn't been that long. [Sorry for the novel! LOL!]

[Allegra]

I’m glad you’re staying put then. Better safe than sorry.

I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!

[Allegra]

Those are all beautiful kitties! Even if they won’t go inside, I’m glad they have a loving family.

I hope the Siamese found a loving home too. I have one and he is a great little companion.

I hope you and Mr. Luvie have a great Christmas at home.

[radu]

Around here where people can’t drive when it snows, staying in is the only way to go. Dad taught me how to drive on it but I just stay home out of harm’s way these days. Better safe than sorry is right!

Are you heading off anywhere for Christmas this year?

[Songcraft]

One more Irving Berlin song..."What'll I Do" - Judy Holliday

(Goodnight!)

[Allegra]

I’ll be spending Christmas in Houston with close friends. We’re expecting frigid temperatures but no precipitation, fortunately.

People here can’t drive in wintry stuff either. But a lot of them insist on finding that out the hard way.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Saturday 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 to the Canteen DJ's for posting the music to today's thread.

Folks, be sure to support these artists by buying their music and attending their concerts when they come to your area.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

Oooooo, that sounds like a fun Christmas ahead for you. Glad you won’t have to deal with slippery roads during your travels. I’m hoping our weatherfolks are wrong about next Friday and we’ll only have bitter cold to contend with. I just don’t like snow. LOL

[radu]

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

Nippy weather over your way to make Gizmo extra-frisky during your romps at the lake? Pretty nippy here and it’s only going to get nippier.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Those were the sane days...

I can find the lyrics, but not the music. Thanks for sharing a bit of sanity. ((HUGS))

[E.G.C.]

It was a bit nippy yesterday but we still had a fun visit yesterday. Gonna try to get as much in before the cold snap next week.
