USO Canteen FReeper Style....Liberty R&R to Arizona.... July 27,2002
FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

Posted on 07/27/2002 1:16:24 AM PDT by Snow Bunny

.

.

If you know a Veteran, someone in your family,
friend of the family, neighbor, who served their
country, take a brief moment of your day to thank them.
Thank them for the sacrifice they made
for the better good of their country.

We at Free Republic, and the USO Canteen FReeper Style,
are thankful for every service member
in our military, who has served our great nation.

So, to the men and women who answered the call,
in both times of war and peace, thank you.

.

Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.

This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style.
It is like a cottage down a road,
a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.

Since it opened, it is magical how so many
Freepers who post here, feel it too.
It has been so dear how the Freepers
kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place
that had a huge living room
for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.

Many Veterans have written to me,
saying that the Canteen is like home
to them for the first time since they served.

This is your Canteen -
a respite from our busy
and sometimes troubling world.
Make yourself at home.

CASUAL SATURDAY AT THE CANTEEN

Liberty commences at the beginning of today's
FReeper USO Canteen thread
and, depending on your division assignment,
expires when the new thread for Sunday is posted.

***** A special invitation to our troops and Veterans
to join us in today's cyber trip. *****

Arizona


Arizona from the splendor of the Grand Canyon to the multitude of wildflowers.


Our trip takes us to the Grand Canyon.......Anyone care to take an added trip down into this marvelous place?

Our next adventure happens when we get to......The Havasupai Indian Reservation is located in Havasu Canyon deep in the heart of Grand Canyon. Havasu Canyon is one of the over 600 side canyons together forming the 280-mile long Grand Canyon.

Home to towering waterfalls, beautiful cascades, and tropical blue-green pools this lush oasis is considered the "gem" of the Grand Canyon.


Beautiful Arizona landmark, Camelback Mountain

In a place called Sedona, there is something very mystical about this spot in Northeastern Arizona.

Sedona is unique in several respects. First is that it is relatively lush and seems rather out of place in a state better known for it's desert-like landscape. Secondly, Sedona has beautiful rich red rock formations that jet out of the sandy canyon floor, they look something like enormous sculptures against the azure sky.

Traveling over to Tucson where there are many things to see: ...Sabino Canyon, De Grazia Art Gallery, Seguaro National Monuments. But one of the stops we will take , is the Mission San Xavier.

Mission San Xavier del Blac

Hmmmmm.....Ft. Worth or Tarrant County is cheaper to live, just FYI. Actually the suburbs of FW are cheapest. Grapevine area is expensive. Plano is expensive. Dallas is expensive. EXCEPT, by golly, it blows me away when I hear how much people pay for little bitty tiny homes in other states. In Texas, you can get a big house at a pretty good price. I can tell you where the good schools are too, except I'm biased and homeschool now. :) LOL Actually, I'm of the opinion that Texas public schools are pretty good. I never had a bad experience with one. Is your husband still in the service?

But you have awsome and scary creatures too Sam..like the West Coast SeaGull...
Yes...
I had my Trans Am parked near the Seal Caves in Oregon...on the hood of my car was a Sea Gull that cats would have a heart attack if they saw.
It weighed more than a Thanksgiving day turkey..and as it walkewd around on my hood..it dented it from its weight.

get the $$#$$ of my car!!..
The Gull just looked at me and did not flinch...
Like Mr T ..this bird wanted to smack me a good one and let me know who was boss around the parking lot.
Minutes later it was..nice bird...look theirs a cigarette butt!..
If a CNN headline ever appears..."Oregon SeaGull" beats the snot out of tourist..I would believe it!

Two brothers, age 8 and 6 years old were getting ready for breakfast one morning when the older brother said, I think we are old enough to start using cuss words like the adults, so when we get to breakfast let's use some cuss words. I will say "Hell" and you say "Fat Ass".

They agreed and went downstairs to breakfast. After they sat down their mother asked the 8 year old what he would like for breakfast.

He replied "Oh HELL, I think I will have some Cheerios". What did you say, his mother yelled? She went over and slapped him so hard he fell out of the chair. She picked him up off the floor, dragged him to his room and slammed the door.

When she got back to the kitchen, the 6 year old was sitting there wide-eyed.

She asked "now young man what do YOU want for breakfast"? He stuttered and said, "I don't know but you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"
