One more post and I'll be on my way.

For last Veteran's Day weekend, we formed a Veterans Choir at our church. We sang two songs during three services that weekend.

Following are two links to videos of those two songs...

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

Mansions of the Lord

Rest In Peace, Tonkin

Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant

I’ve read the Canteen from the start, but was too chicken to post. Sometimes when I really wanted to say something I’d FReepmail him. Eventually he told me to start posting myself. LOL!

Then he helped me post graphics, and most importantly to me, how to have a link open in a new window. And I practiced right on the thread til I got it right. I’ve always advocated trying on the thread because if it doesn’t work, others can spot how to fix it. d:o)

Hi Kathy.

The trees and bushes are thriving, but the vegetables are coming along moderately.

There’s been rain and hail kind of impeding the veggies.

What a kind and gentle man Tonk was...I miss him...

Kathy, thank you for doing this. We’re all a little worse off without our FRiend here. :(

Rest in His Peace, Mr. Tonkin...

Good morning, fatima...((HUGS))...I always laughed when I wrote his name. First I had to learn to spell yatch the way he spelled it. Now I have to work really hard to spell it correctly. Tonk is much easier. LOL!
