When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see
what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more
fortunate than you imagined.


*******Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

Happy Birthday

A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?"


She said, "I'd love to be ten again."

On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off
they went to a theme park.

He put her on every ride in the park - the Death Slide, the Screaming
Loop, the Wall of Fear. Everything there was, she had a go.

She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling
and her stomach upside down.

Into McDonald's they went, where she was given a Double Big Mac with
extra fries and a strawberry shake.

Then off to a theater to see Star Wars along with more burgers, popcorn,
cola and sweets.

At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed.

Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being
ten again?"

One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually I meant dress size."

I have not popped in here in a while, but I thought I'd drop by to extend my most sincere thanks to our military brothers and sisters who sacrifice daily to protect these United States.

I get misty when I think of those who, serving to protect me and mine, are spending their Thanksgiving away from their friends and families. May God's blessings come back to you a hundred fold.

Canteeners, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,
Maureen (who has much to be thankful for)

P.S. Tonk, thanks for keeping the Canteen open! Fabu job!

I want to take a moment to say thanks to all!!!!!! As my post before withmy step-son's friend, we lost "little ray" at about 12:34 am. He held on til the end. Has been a rough 24 hrs. but I have survived. Went and saw the parents today and the services will be next week. THANK GOD I was able to see him on Tues. Seems like my step-son is accepting the fact that Raymond is gone, but he is also running from the fact. I think he will realize it nexy=t week at the service. I have basically volunteered to take care of the school and the friends doind something. My chain of command is informed and they seem to have no problem. After 4 years of friendship, I feel the loss as much as the parents. Although, seeing them tody and them telling me about Ray taking his last breath did me in. I could never imagine. He is at peace now and no more suffering. He will always be with us in spirit. Thanks for all you support.

Sandy

Thank you for the flowers you deliver to the Canteen Girlz each day, Tonk. This is a gorgeous centerpiece for the dining table today.

I had a lot of hugs to make up for. I know I've been away too much the past few days.
