So Cool!!

Events such as these aim to cultivate warrior ethos, a future-focused mindset, and supplement existing character, leadership, and officer development efforts with the cadets.

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

A fun day for Gizmo yesterday. Got to see his BFF, Ringo, and found a smelly spot to roll in in the rocks. LOL

Lookin’ a little soggy over your way tonight. I hope you don’t get storms that will run Gizmo under the bed.

[E.G.C.]

Well, actually he did hide under the bed but I got him out. He’s in the bathroom now.

Yum. I always crave roasted corn when you talk about that yummy corn. So smart to freeze it. I’ve gotten to where I don’t eat corn anymore. Can’t find any that tastes worth the trouble of making the mess. LOL!

NY Texan made THE best roasted corn. He did it at The Mayor’s house and also at MS.BEHAVIN’S house, and my hubby and I were there to have some of it. And he just about lost his mustache and eyebrows. LOL! Well, it seemed funny at the time.

Hi, EGC! Looks like y'all had a lot of fun there at Wichita Ridge.
That is a pretty view that Gizmo took you to see.
He looks like he would love to swim in the lake. Is that and island out there?

[E.G.C.]

Um, it seems like it.I think in some cases you could walk to it but if it rains a lot the walk to it would be wet.

[Thank You Rush]

Beautiful pics.....thanks. Used to watch the Blue Angels perform from our patio in CA... Always thrilling! Miss seeing them...

[luvie]

Hey there, Early Birds!
Aren't our troops simply the BEST?
Thanks, Kathy, for your hard work telling their stories!
Hope all y'all have a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
It's nice and cloudy here...hoping for rain!
