Canteen Backyard Cookout!!

Okay, who's cooking??

Tomkow? Old Sarge? Tonkin? HiJinx? Auntie Fawnn? Ma??????

Long weekends sometimes are family backyard cookouts.
While this weekend is Memorial Weekend, which we in the Canteen take seriously, a little kickoff fun is planned.
We thank our Troops for their service to our nation.

We have some beer!

Some eats!

Some fishing....

Some lounging around...

You a Redneck??
You might be a Redneck if your pickup looks like this!
Some more beer!

Somemore lounging around...

Tomkow has to show off at every Canteen party!
Soooo, what's your idea of a Backyard Cook Out?

Heck, I react to yellowjacket stings, but not honey bees or wasps.
*shrugs*

Certain flowers kill me.
Purple loose strife I reaceted to, but only if I am already sick.
(Like with strep, or flu.. then the loosestrife bothers me.)

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You for the pictures of our TROOPS at work.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, Tonkin!

[GodBlessUSA]

I have had some serious allergies to the tree pollen. Yet I can hang tough in my garden without those meds. etc. after they are finished. It is strange.

Yellow Jacket stings hurt like the dickens. What kind of reaction do you get? Be careful. They are everywhere end of summer. Do you have meds handy if you get stung?

Memorial Day Prayer
By Rev. Dick Kozelka (ret)
First Congregational Church of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN.

Eternal God,
Creator of years, of centuries,
Lord of whatever is beyond time,
Maker of all species and master of all history --
How shall we speak to you
from our smallness and inconsequence?
Except that you have called us to worship you
in spirit and in truth;
You have dignified us with loves and loyalties;
You have lifted us up with your loving kindnesses.
Therefore we are bold to come before you without groveling
[though we sometimes feel that low]
and without fear
[though we are often anxious].
We sing with spirit and pray with courage
because you have dignified us;
You have redeemed us from the aimlessness
of things' going meaninglessly well.
God, lift the hearts of those
for whom this holiday is not just diversion,
but painful memory and continued deprivation.
Bless those whose dear ones have died
needlessly, wastefully [as it seems]
in accident or misadventure.
We remember with compassion those who have died
serving their countries
in the futility of combat.
There is none of us but must come to bereavement and separation,
when all the answers we are offered
fail the question death asks of each of us.
We believe that you will provide for us
as others have been provided with the fulfillment of
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

 

And, As we observe the Sanctity of this Day , Let us feast, go out and play!

Have a wonderful weekend and remember,

 You are never alone when Christ is beside you.
