Awwww...Thank You SO much!
I went to bed early last night. Evidently, when Penny jumped over the barrier and injured herself, I fell down, and dusted myself off and kept walking.
But last night, I was really aching all over, so Penny and i were miserable together.
Both of us are better this morning, but now it is snowing....big, fat, wet flakes.
Ewwww
Many fond memories of Keesler....was there for 9 months in 1982 for technical training...
Have you noticed that the blaze on Penny’s chest looks like Batman doing the Funky Chicken?
About 75 pounds of pure muscle, she is.
The twins loved Lynn-Dah too, and have asked about her. When I tried to explain that she had gotten old and died, Donald (the more serious one) asked, “Does that mean she’s in heaven with Jesus and Nana G (MY Mom)?
Of course, I lost it right there.
Yes, Trilby’s was wonderful. I recall going there with family in the ‘60s and ‘70s. And speaking of the ‘60s, the White House Hotel has been renovated and restored, looking much like it did back then.
Oh for heaven’s sake, I never thought I’d hear from anyone who shared those dear old memories. Thanks for letting me know.
It’s from the 1950s and takes dimes to get a Coke. It’s a small one, but that little sucker can use a LOT of electricity so I don’t run it except to warm it up and keep the parts moving. I like having it in my kitchen!
Thanks, Kathy! That’s a cute one!
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?
Woo-Hoo!! Keesler is where we were stationed when I first started school - K’garten and 1st Grade. I remember going through a hurricane, I remember taking an LST ride to Dauphin Island, I remember fishing off one of the large bridges along the coast (I caught a stingray), I remember the old WWII wooden barracks that were converted to family housing...so much fun during that assignment!
I also remember reading about the damage Keesler sustained during Hurricane Katrina. I doubt that there is much of anything left that I’d recognize from 1959-60.
In ‘69, the WWII wooden barracks were still there, right? Did they make it through Camille?
The owner of this coffee company (Black Rifle) is a Vet and is expanding his business rapidly throughout the U.S. He plans on hiring 10,000 Vets (to counteract the Starbucks owner who said he is going to hire 10,000 refugees; sheesh) and he is opening 600 stores throughout the Country.
I plan on getting my coffee K-Cups when I next need some, from his company to support our Vets. The 3 hosts on Fox & Friends who were interviewing the owner (that’s how I found out about the coffee company), were guzzling his coffee and all 3 said it was great. You can purchase the coffee on Amazon or on the Black Rifle web site: blackriflecoffee.com
Here are the two types of coffee you can buy on Amazon; I think there is one more variety available on Amazon also. You can just type in Black Rifle on Amazon, and it will bring up this info:
Black Rifle Coffee Company JB “Just Black” Single Serve Capsules for Keurig K-Cup Brewers (32 Count): Amazon.com: Home & Kitchen
(You can also get the above “Just Black” in a 15 pack for $15.99)
Black Rifle Coffee Company AK-47 Single Serve Capsules for Keurig K-Cup Brewers (32 Count): Amazon.com: Home & Kitchen
Support our Vets and drink a good cup of Joe at the same time!
Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
All is well here this morning! Warm 66 and overcast. More roller coaster weather this week, with it going all the way up to the 80s and then back down in the 50s and 60s. Crazy winter!
Hope you and Bo have a great day at the lake! Did he find any moles and/or gophers yesterday?
No, but maybe he will today.
I’ll bet he’ll enjoy trying! :) And you’ll enjoy watching him having fun!
‘In ‘69, the WWII wooden barracks were still there, right? Did they make it through Camille?”
Yes, they were fine. We spent the night with our bunks in the hallway. Most of the major damage was from the tidal surge and limited to the coast line (a quarter mile or so inland). Drive down the coastal highway and there wasn’t much but concrete slabs with a set of concrete steps.
Come to think of it, I believe our barracks were concrete block. Anyway, there was very little damage on base.
