Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Making a quick stop to check out the latest.
I was thinking, while looking at photo 2 & 3,
that it takes a special person to join up
knowing they'll be doing stuff like that.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
![](http://images38.fotki.com/v1269/photos/2/292835/1050316/Opensignflowersvi-vi.jpg)
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

I'm driving, I'll stay in Yakima until sunday am then swing over to Seattle to visit my daughter and do some "projects" for her. Then I'm going to stay with BIL overnight and head back home on Monday.
The leaves are changing color and getting wind and rain blown.

The leaves are changing color and getting wind and rain blown. That sounds lovely. But wet leaves on roads are hazardous, so be extra careful.
How did you pick Yakima?
I'm sure your daughter is looking forward to your visit. I have a BIL who has been doing the same for his youngest daughter who recently bought a home.
Still, it sounds like a good trip.

Good morning beach and (((HUGS))). I just got off the phone with TRICARE for the fourth time trying to get an eye care exam paid for that we had done in February.
Each call has been well over an hour. If that is any indication of the coverage under 0 bummer care, the public will be really pizzed.

Today is the day!
It's time for the annual FReeper get together
to honor TexasCowboy by shooting stuff!
We're all looking forward to seeing each other again!
Plus, we eat, drink, laugh and talk conservative talk, too!
Everyone has a great time!
It's a beautiful day in the Metroplex...
...maybe gonna be a little warmer than I'd wish.
That's ok. It won't matter when we're having fun!
All you Early Birds have a Terrific Thursday!
((((hugs))))
