Doing great, thanks - the wife and kids are coming back from vacation on Saturday so we will begin to get back to something approaching normalcy.

[ConorMacNessa]

BTW, Connie - what kind of music are you working on? Do you compose?

[AZamericonnie]

No luvie....97 is real hard when the humidity is high.

[luvie]

Are you just about out of chips and beer....and sammich fixin’s? *grin*

[AZamericonnie]

Oh, I only wish to be so talented Conor.:)

I’m just working the music thread for tomorrow.

Sonboy wound up with all that kinda talent. lol

[ConorMacNessa]

LOL! I have more cooking skills than that but I'm not getting home from work until almost 10. Last thing I want to think about is cooking. :)

[luvie]

Well, the humidity is a bit higher than normal, but not by too
much. We did get 1/10th of an inch of rain last night.

Big Whoop! LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

"I’m just working the music thread for tomorrow."

That is a great talent in itself! Thanks for all you do for the troops!

[fatima]

Thank You ConorMacNessa:)Nice to see you Beautiful.

[AZamericonnie]

Good evening GitmoSailor & thank you for your service!

I was trying to find a pic of the Kitty Hawk in 1961 but with no luck.

Hat’s off to them & all who serve.

[luvie]

Yikes! That is very late to be getting home! I hope you are
getting enough rest! I don’t blame you for not wanting to
cook. I was just teasing ya! :D

I don’t cook either. Gave it up when our son left home. It’s
cheaper for us to eat out!...well, it IS getting more expensive
lately! Yeesh!

[ConorMacNessa]

I'm fairly competent in the kitchen. My wife took my recipe for linguine with clam sauce down to the beach and made it tonite. Now she thinks she doesn't need me anymore. :(

[fatima]

:)((((Hugs))))

[ConorMacNessa]

I don't have a pic of the Kitty Hawk from that era but here's one from November 2005 arriving Hong Kong Harbor:

[AZamericonnie]

I found this recipe from Jacques Pepin the other day that sounds so scrumptious! *stilton sammich*

[trussell]

Good evening Ma...
Hugs!
Thank you for posting this evening’s Canteen!

[mylife]

Pepin is a great cook. He never overdoes it.

[luvie]

Awwwwwwww....poor Conor!

You’ll have to fix somethin’ really special when she gets in
so she’ll know she DOES need ya!

That recipe sounds yummy!

[trussell]
