Canteen Mission Statement

Showing support and boosting the morale of
our military and our allies military
and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

As the rain cleared, and the sun began to rise, Key peered through the lifting darkness anxious to see if the flag they had seen the night before was still flying. And so it was that he scribbled on the back of an envelope the first lines of a poem he called Defense of Fort M'Henry

LOL! You are just a critter magnet. So you have a baby lizard in your office now? He can eat bugs.

Some stuff stays the same like caustics but there is a constant stream of new drugs and new house hold products and industrial products.

Whole classes of drugs come and go.

[TASMANIANRED]

My battery is low. I need to go plug the confuser into an outlet..

Will try to be back in a bit.

It’s the waiting that gets ya..I sent you a freepmail earlier. Power outages keep one from communicating..and even cellphone traffic causes delays getting information..I believe our families may get trees down, perhaps roof damage but not the bad flooding those in lowlying areas and coastal communities get..Houston always floods..the canals overflow and some areas are lowlying.

I have every site possible bookmarked to get the latest information..
Prayers for all in harms way.

Well I'm glad we have you to keep us covered!

[ConorMacNessa]

Packin' it in for the evening here. Have a good night everyone!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Taz...((HUGS))...stompings don’t happen every day, but kids have a tendency to want to get close, unfortunately, usually, to annoy the moose. Gonna go see if I can find anything about it.

[HiJinx]

I just caught a segment on the Weather Channel that showed rain from Ike reaching us both (Connie and I) by Saturday afternoon/evening.

We have rain from a Baja hurricane right now.

[luvie]

My brother’s home is right in the line of fire of Ike...in Seabrook. :(

[mylife]

Ike is sposed to be a Big Son of a Gun. Not real powerful but Big!

We are fixin to get some water!

[mylife]

He aint on the way to your house?

[HiJinx]

I’ll take that water just about any way we can get it.

The good news is we don’t get much wind this far inland.

Okay, I’m beat. It was a long night last night, and I’m still not recoverd.

See ya!

[mylife]

Cyas! Rest well

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting. We must never forget those that gave their all for us to be free and safe.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness.....so far reaching. Florida has been getting rain from Ike, and now Arizona too.

How is your rock garden coming along?

[luvie]

My brother? No...he’s at his step-son’s house in northern Harris county. We are too far away. He’ll want to get back to the house as quickly as possible afterwards. He sure is scared.....asked for prayers.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sundays off is good.....7 days gets old really quickly.

[mylife]

I would head north. Prayers offered
