GOODNIGHT TROOPS AND CANTEEN

 

 

 

My fat cat is telling me it's time for bed; soooooooo:

Good Night, All!

May God bless all who come to the Canteen.
May God bless & keep safe all our troops & their families!

________________________________

Dear Lord,
There's a young man far from home,
called to serve his nation in time of war;
sent to defend our freedom
on some distant foreign shore.

We pray You keep him safe,
we pray You keep him strong,
we pray You send him safely home ...
for he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,
serving her nation with pride.
Her step is strong, her step is sure,
there is courage in every stride.

We pray You keep her safe,
we pray You keep her strong,
we pray You send her safely home ...
for she's been away too long.

Bless those who await their safe return.
Bless those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this country well,
no matter what the cost.

God, Bless America!

Cool Old Sarge ! And that photo of the moon is wild I love it !

Last night outside we could still see Mars near the moon too. I can't make it for the next time unless they come out with some kind of vitamin pill for living thousands of years . LOL

Good to see you

Here's some more oldie but goodies for your listening pleasure:

OLD SOFT ROCK!

(And you're gonna say, "Wonder what he calls HARD Rock??!)

[Fawnn]

...what counts is young at heart anyway

Oh that it were that easy. My heart feels young. (Some would probably describe it as downright juvenile.) It's this stupid body that's the downside. ... I have an aunt who's 40 years older than I who could beat me in a race today.

It is so neat that you write cookbooks.

Thanks! I certainly hope people want to keep reading my words. (And that another publisher want to BUY some of them soon! LOL) Thank God I can still think and type efficiently! ;)

I'm watching this kitchen design show on hgtv at the moment ... and really having some kitchen envy!

"Bouy hunting has become very popular with off duty Coast Guard volunteers"

I see one now!

I certainly hope Tonk doesn't get mired in that quagmire. He'll never find time to stop and savor the soup if that happens!

Al Gore finally gets a new job which also includes shoe shining for the President!

I bet he doesn't last long! He's underqualified for that job, too, you know. ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Radix, you rock!! I am falling off my chair laughing at your commentary.

Al Gore finally gets a new job which also includes shoe shining for the President!

Finally a job algore can do!! ROTFLMAOPIMP!!

Tonkin! You seem to have left this "mission" out of your last report!! Were you successful in getting the carbon blown out?

[Wild Thing]

Then I am going to pray really , really hard about publisher for you.

There is an old movie I love they show on TV sometimes, called The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. You remind me of that with your being a writer.( please NOTE not the old part but the writing and being a girl and oh heck I love that movie. hahaha ) I think it is very exciting.

Thank you!!! (There are lots more important things in the world to pray about other than me, but I tell ya, I sure feel like I could use some prayers lately, so I'm very grateful!)

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

I've never seen that film. I'll watch for it!

Have you ever seen American Dreamer? That's one of my favorite escape films about a writer!
