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

((HUGS))Good morning, everyone. Thanks for this morning's thread, Star. Today is my birthday. I'm 51. How's it going for everyone this morning?

Good morning, Canteen.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Checking in, and I see some interesting details I need to address.
First and foremost,

R I P Shifty! Job Well Done.

And second, Happy Retirement, AbnSarge
and thank you for your "extraordinary" service.
A job well done to you as well, sir!

Now to make my rounds before it gets busy...busy.

But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

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

Hiya Beachie!

I have the day off today as I travel again to my last post-op eye appt. Vision is doing great.

The weekend was mostly restful with just a little grocery shopping on the agenda. Our weather is suppose to be summer like by the end of the week, Woo-Hoo!

Have a great day!

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Aw-right! The last post-op eye exam! I bet you’ll be happy that’s over.

My weekend was so-so. Hubby and I had dental appointments and found that we both need deep cleaning; he got half of his done, but we needed to schedule (ran out of time) for another day to get mine and the rest of his done. And even with insurance, CHA-CHING! And we owe Fed. taxes. UGH! I need to go back to drinking, and I don’t mean coffee! LOL.

Our weather is still a little up-n-down. Nights are still down in the 40s and days, 60s-70s. I did do a little yard work this weekend. Now, I need to go plant shopping.

Have a safe trip and take time to smell the roses while you are out of town.

Our harmonica player is back

Now we are a five-piece.

It is a little like herding cats.

They are all bikers, musicians, and “under grace”! LOL!

Just watched the entire “Band of Brothers” series over the weekend, so I was delightfully surprised to see “Shifty” Powers this morning when I logged in!
