The FReeper Canteen Presents....

~ Constitution Day, September 17, 1787 ~

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

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.

The Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Because the delegations from only two states were at first present, the members adjourned from day to day until a quorum of seven states was obtained on May 25. Through discussion and debate it became clear by mid-June that, rather than amend the existing Articles, the Convention would draft an entirely new frame of government.

All through the summer, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution. Among the chief points at issue were how much power to allow the central government, how many representatives in Congress to allow each state, and how these representatives should be elected--directly by the people or by the state legislators. The work of many minds, the Constitution stands as a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hi Kathy!

Happy Constitution Day! I’m a faculty advisor to our high school’s Constitution “We The People” team; my unit discusses the amendment process with a lot of emphasis on the Civil War amendments. I’ll be seeing the kids for breakfast early tomorrow.

Good evening, MM...((HUGS))...had to go work on a project. Now I’m ready to go home and collapse. What a day!!

Hope you had a good day.

I’m starting to think that any remnant of the goop that I had injected in my knees is gone. They are really starting to bother me again.

I may have to see about doing it again. They did last a lot longer than expected.

We are getting a walk in tub some time next month. The company in Minnesota called Monday and said they would be shipping this week from Georgia. There are at least 15 coming up here. I can’t wait! The tub is jetted....woohoo!!

{{{HUGS}}} Kathy...the weather is cooling down here, into the 40's at night and into the 30's this weekend, time to get the heaters dusted off. But daytime temps will get back into the 80's to tease us before Fall and Winter set in.

Zach time will happen this weekend and next week.

Hope all is well with you!

[The Mayor]

Thanks! Some messages really resonate.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

BRRR!!! We had rain all weekend and this week. Folks are getting tired of it, but it was long overdue. We are getting the mid 30s at night, but more rain in the future.

Glad you get some Zach time this weekend and next week.

Whoa! The sun just came out....still clouds everywhere, but sun and blue sky out my window.

[MeekMom]

That new tub will be a blessing for you both I’m sure.

Better to cover all bases and see if/when you can get another knee injection Ma.

xoxoxoxo
Prayers up each and every day my Ma.

your devoted kid

Did you have a Maddi Wednesday? How’s Charlie doing? Enjoying his family?

Rain, rain, rain here. Seems to be making up for no spring or early summer rain.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hurrah for Uncle Vic!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, ML...((HUGS))...have a Tremendous Thursday.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday 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, Kathy. How's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I didn’t even hear the announcement....

This was last year, 2014. Looks like we will know this year on Monday. Mine goes to medical bills. LOL!

Gov. Bill Walker will announce the amount of this year’s Permanent Fund Dividend — widely expected to increase from 2014’s $1,884, at 10 a.m. Monday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...you and Bo enjoy your Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....
