I don't know about the rest of the Canteener's but Mail Call Monday is the best of the days at the Canteen.

What makes it so special to me is that I know a most of these people have very limited access to a computer for E-mails and yet they spend their precious time contacting us at the Canteen. I can't help but wonder how many of these people have passed up on a e-mail to a family member or friend or traded away something to get some extra to write to us?

Thanks to all who take the time to write even if it's only a quick "Hi, I know you're there, Thanks". It means so much to us at the Canteen.

Mail Call in Oregon!

A man is struck by a bus on a busy street
in New York City. He lies dying on the
sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers
around.

"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the
man gasps. A policeman checks the crowd
----no priest, no minister, no man of
God of any kind.

"A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says
again.

Then out of the crowd steps a little old
Jewish man of at least eighty years of
age."Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm
not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic.
But for fifty years now I'm living behind
St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church on First
Avenue, and every night I'm listening to
the Catholic litany.Maybe I can be of
some comfort to this man."

The policeman agreed and brought the
octogenarian over to where the dying man
lay. He kneels down, leans over the
injured and says in a solemn voice: "B-4.
I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72. . ."

that's such a cute picture! I am so glad you enjoyed meeting FG and Bunny! I sure hope everything goes smoothly with the sale of their house so they can get up there! i thought we might be going that way too on our way to Mpls, but we decided to cut across in Sacramento, I think! Not sure yet. Something was dripping out of the bottom of the motorhome.....red stuff......maybe trany fluid? Need to check that out tomorrow and find out what's going on :( At least the fridge and air conditioner seem to be working good! :))))
