I’m hoping the VP made a point. And one of the security projects is fixing to get a whole lot more complicated...the inputter of time is going to have to really pay attention...something they are not too good at right now.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Freshened is a very good thing!!

[radu]

Are these people new or something? They’d better be fast learners if they are. If they aren’t, what’s made them screw up so badly lately?

Y’all can’t do your jobs to get everyone paid if these people keep messing things up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

This is in Kingwood, north of Houston, today. That's a Costco in the background. Ashlie sent me the picture.

They have a lot of water going on.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique.

radu.....#50!!

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.

Whew! They really have a mess to deal with over there. I gather there isn’t supposed to be a lake between Ashlie and the Costco.

And there’s another swath of rain and storms moving through TX now.

That same system will give us rain in TN the next couple of days but not nearly as much.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...I thought I could stay awake til midnight, but I’m falling asleep.

You and Bo have a great Thursday and I hope you are safely away from all the flooding.

[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. No flooding here. Mowed the lawn yesterday. Bo found another turtle out at the lake yesterday.

WELCOME TO THE

(where our troops, allies
and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Always a pleasure to see
what our heroes are up to.

Well, the HVAC crew is almost done.
They left around 2 and will be back
this morning to finish up.
Not sure what's left other than
connecting lines and powering it up,
and giving us a lesson on the new touch pad controls.
Hate to say this, but
once they are gone I am going to
have to get out of the house;
even if it's just to get lunch.LOL

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.
