Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. Another 88º high for us today.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

Our power has been going in and out ever since midnight last night. It has just come back on. Hopefully it will stay on.

We did have some storms in the area last night. Not sure if that was what caused the outage or what.

I'm enjoying the morning cool and coffee on my daughter's
upstairs deck.
Hope Your Day Goes Well

God Bless Our Troops

[MEG33]

I used to go to summer Methodist camp when I was a youngster near Glen Rose...This area surprised me, though..I just did not expect the hills.

[E.G.C.]

Yes it sure is.

[HiJinx]

Yes, my nephew does pretty much the same job as JJ.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thank your nephew, and JJ, for their service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Clouded up here last night, and we had really dark clouds, but they were gone by the time I went to bed. No rain.

But the snow in the yard is almost gone.

Hope you get rain.

[Arrowhead1952]

We have a good chance for rain this weekend, but also strong storms. That stuff can miss us, but we will take what we get here.
