I am going to be very careful today ..I don’t want to upset my back and have it yelling at me again.

Sore arm and leg muscles happen everytime I get out and use a heavy tool..I don’t have my summer muscles...and summer is here.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. I was going to take a shot at it but when I saw how many posts there were, I figured someone probably had all the answers so why bother. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today....Windy with a mix of clouds and sun. Warmer. High 87F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph. ~ Tonight.... Clear and windy. Low 66F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph.

We're starting off with a beautiful morning but it's going to get hot today. It's already in the 60s. I'll have to get my walk in early. So, if I disappear early, you'll know why.

no, no that's right, now I remember....it's

Oh well, it could be worse. But, hey, what do I know? I'm just a weekend kinda gal. Livin' for the weekend.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

Hey, good looking, can I buy you a drink?

The rumor that animation king Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen after he died so that he could be "reanimated" in the future is just that: a rumor. Disney was cremated and his remains are buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

At least, that's what they want you to think!
