Posted on 05/25/2005 8:00:06 PM PDT by Soaring Feather



For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.


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?

My Brother and Sister and I are all 8 years apart. I loved it.

Thank you for the awesome Mom comment. That means more to me now than you could ever know.

Connor's sugar intake is very limited. Otherwise, like your's we'd be peeling him off the ceiling. I catch Connor doing the Spider man crawl up the walls in the hall all the time. WITHOUT the sugar. LOL

I'm in one piece, for now.

My cat, however, is planning vengeance for me stepping on her earlier.

My property manager said it was no big deal for me to use his. I'll be up there later.

Mine is on a food strike. They were out of the regular stuff I buy and he wont eat the new stuff. He just stares and meows at me. I figure if he gets hungry enough he'll eat it. LOL

Mine is plotting to kill me I know it. He darts through my legs and sometimes leaps and wraps his arms around me as I'm walking down the hall. I dont even want to reflect on my fear of going down dark steps with him. He's solid black. LOL

However, in another life--I'd live by this slogan!

So far, the sump pump is working... but just in case I picked up a little drill-powered pump that I can use in an emergency (it's also great for draining our new little 90-gal pond).

Kearen does the 'let me help you walk' thing.
Rather amazing I'm NOT dead yet considering she's rather wide and weighs 24 pounds.
Kearen also likes eating too much to go on a hunger strike.
She'll just eat other things, like my spider plant.

Tristan is too terrified to do that on the stairs, though he's the perfect coat color for tripping someone on stairs in the dark.

I think your are right. They are aliens spying on us. Documenting daily activities and testing our mobility. Beware the coming invasion. LMAO

Scolding Wife --> Great Big Sea



Well, I came into a scolding wife a few short years ago
And ever since I lead a life of misery and woe
My wife she is a tyrant around the room and in
Ah, she'd sell me to the devil for a galss or two of Gin. (Alan's part)

Sure I'll get up and go to work as mild as any man
And she'll get up and dress herself and go and have her dram
And if I chance to say a word, it's well I know my doom
She'll follow me with the fire shovel up and down the room
(Bob's part)

CHORUS:
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
I swear to God I'll hang me self If I get married again
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
Oh, I swear to God I'll hang me self if I get married again

When I get home at breakfast time she'll tap me on the head
When I come home at dinner time I'll find her drunk in bed
When I come home at supper time my patients I must stop
'Cause she drank what's in the teapot and I must drink the slops (Darrell's part)

CHORUS

Well, once I asked me scolding wife if I could go to bed
She scarce gave me an hour on the pillow to lay me head
When like a roarin' lion she came bustin' down the door
She caught me by the middle and threw me naked on the floor (Séan's part)

CHORUS

Now, me and my companions go to a public place
She'll search around the neighbourhood until she finds my face
She'll hoist me up and ridicule me for the company
Saying, "Petticoat is you master, and forevermore shall be." (All)

CHORUS (x4)

 

Sidenote: Hehehe! Okay! I'm twisted! I love this song!

Yeah.
It's impossible to have a private conversation when cats are around.
They sit and stare intently at you while you speak, and they listen in.
When you stop talking to look back at them, they get this look of mock outrage as if you've accused them of snooping.

Cats are fairly amusing to have.
*chuckle*
