Good Sunday evening everyone! I hope today has been a pleasant one for all.

Hello troops, veterans, and allies. Thank You! for defending this wonderful country and keeping Freedom ringing. You're in my prayers every day for your safe return Home.

I'm sorry I'm so late saying 'hello' today. My buddy is here and we're trying to get the 'puter to accept the satellite program. Once we do, we should be ready to hit the net. Keep your fingers crossed for success. I'll be back in a bit. ((((HUGS)))) for everyone!

Whistling Boy

When the curtain of night, 'tween the dark and the light,
Drops down from the set of the sun,
And the toilers who roam, to the loved ones come home,
As they pass by my window is one
Whose coming I mark, for the song of the lark
As it joyously soars in the sky
Is no dearer to me than the notes, glad and free,
Of the boy who goes whistling by.

If a sense of unrest settles over my breast
And my spirit is clouded with care,
It all flies away if he happens to stray
Past my window a-whistling an air.
And I never shall know how much gladness I owe
To this joy of the ear and the eye,
But I'm sure I'm in debt for much pleasure I get
To the boy who goes whistling by.

And this music of his, how much better it is
Than to burden his life with a frown,
For the toiler who sings to his purposes brings
A hope his endeavor to crown.
And whenever I hear his glad notes, full and clear,
I say to myself I will try
To make all of life with a joy to be rife,
Like the boy who goes whistling by.

Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you for bringing the Canteen this piece of good news about the sailor on the USS Constellation.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Beautiful prayer, tmp. Thank you for sharing.

No problem. I'm sure glad the guy is okay. Spending 7 hours in the water has got to be scary. It's amazing the guy isn't more injured. That flight deck that he got blown off of is over 80 feet above the water. That's quite a fall to take!
