I think Beamer wants to say hi. Beamer is the Canteen Mascot.

Let me introduce you to the man who will be introducing the models momentarily. Looking every bit as smashing as the models, I give you the inimitable Mr. SAMWolf. Take it away, Sam!

Our first model is.....uh-oh... looks like they're not quite ready for prime time. Say, have you heard the one about....?

Here's Whoever, looking like the vision she is, or is that.... isn't?

Mama_Bear's looking like one fine Mama, isn't she? Something about those California bears!

I tell you, that DaisyScarlett doesn't just look good, she can COOK, too!

Everybody loves a redhead! Here's the Canteen's sassy redhead, SassyMom....

Ah, Victoria Delsoul.....with a name like that, you know she's gotta be beautiful.....

Do blondes have more fun? This one certainly does, and is more fun to be around than anybunny could ever imagine......SnowBunny, Canteen Hostess Extraordinaire!

Here's the other Canteen Hostess, Billie. She's the ornery one, you can tell by the way she moves, you don't wanna cross her. (Watch those graphics - not too big, please!)

Thought you might like to see some of the ladies responsible for keeping the Canteen kitchen full of surprises. That's Mountaineer on the left, then Iowa Granny, and uh....who is that on the right....oh, that's who on the right.

One last look at some of the lovely ladies of the Canteen, and then we'll......
GUYS! Oh, geez, GUYS! Louie, Diver, what th'?.......

Ok, let's try again....Left to right below are some of the lovely ladies who grace the Canteen regularly with their presence, their wit, charm, talents, prayers and support for our troops: Mountaineer, Victoria Delsoul, LadyX, Whoever, D4now, Snow Bunny, Aquamarine, Teacup, SusanUSA, DaisyScarlett, Iowa Granny, SassyMom, Mama_Bear, Spookbrat, and Billie.

Hi Norb.

I am so glad to see you.( big smile)

((((((( hug )))))))

[MistyCA]

Bunny, what made you chose Oregon? It is beautiful there from the small part of it I have seen. My sister races her plane to Bend every year. It is called the Palms to Pines Air race. My only problem with Oregon is the politics.

[Norb2569]

Hello pretty Snow Bunny!!

I know that El Roy enjoyed your visit immensely!

You are a real sweetheart!

[4TheFlag]

She also has a Tahoe now!

And I hope a lighter foot!!! She's one VERY lucky kid MSIT...

[4TheFlag]

Dear Lady, you are such a GOOBER, maybe that's why I love ya so much.....

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I know that El Roy enjoyed your visit immensely!"

I'm jealous! LOL
Seriously I'm glad Snow Bunny and FallGuy got to meet COB1
I'm also thrilled to hear his daughter is doing better!

[Norb2569]

Hang in there Sandy! It won't be half as bad as you think. I will offer my prayers for a minimal discomfort procedure!

Besides you have to be feeling good for the homecoming in a couple weeks of your favorite, (not to mention ONLY), sister, Trish!

[MistyCA]

Yes, very much lighter foot! It was that little Laser (a beautiful car actually with shiny chrome rims that broke into pieces! The Tahoe has one of those telephone alarm system things...at least I don't have to worry about finding her! :) She is a precious kid (they all are).

[whoever]

..I'm also thrilled to hear his daughter is doing better! ..

Amen, Mr. Tonk. That is such terrific news.

[Snow Bunny]

I was too Tonkin,I asked him right away and thanked God too.

[Snow Bunny]

When I introduced him to FallGuy, I said..." FallGuy this is Cobby, the LOW voice you hear on my CD from our friend Norb"....then we all giggled.

[Snow Bunny]

LOL...yessss you are so right.

[MistyCA]

Cob should be coming on pretty soon, don't you think? It is so neat that you had a chance to meet him. He very definately has a Looowww voice.

Anxious also to hear about LadyX's visit today!

[Snow Bunny]

Hi MSIT, hope you saw my post to you and others about Cobby. He is such a nice man and dear friend.

He said hi to everyone here.

We picked Oregon because we love being near the water and most of the places in Oregon are not too far from the coast, even a few hours drive is ok for an outing.
We lived in Calif. and loved it, the beauty of it but it is very expensive to live there and FallGuy is retired now from his stuntwork.

We have done the huge house thing and now want to scale down a lot and get a small place in a beautiful State.

Oregon is a gorgeous State .

Liberals are everywhere in all the States so there is no real getting away from them.

We have always been blessed with true and deep friendships and those are the kind I love. So to meet tons of liberals in just being out running errands means nothing to me.

What counts are the friends we have and care about. One more or less liberal is like one more or less bug on the sidewalk. ROTFL

Good to see you MSIT. It was such a fun day here at the Canteen. I am so glad you were here for it too.(( hug ))

[SAMWolf]

Oregon is a gorgeous State .

Big Smile.

[whoever]

Taxes or lack of are another attraction, right, SAM?

[SAMWolf]

No sales tax, but a 9% income tax.

[4TheFlag]

I'm history tonite folks, Birthday Girl should be home by now, phone call time..see ya'll tomorrow..love ya'll..sleep well and see ya tomorrow God willing...J

[MistyCA]

Boy, living in Santa Barbara I know about how expensive California can be! We would love to leave, but it is more difficult when you have a string of kids all settled in. We very seriously considered Oregon as a place we would like to move to. The ocean is beautiful there. I loved Gold Beach...actually all along the coast. I am excited for you!

Yes, I saw your note about Cob and I think it is so neat that you got to spend some time with him.

We are also trying to figure out our retirement options. I had always imagined we would work into our 60's, but it just isn't possible. We love the idea of traveling, but you need a place to hang your hat that isn't on wheels, I think. I would really love to have a motorhome and a piece of land with a big barn on it! For all my fun projects!

I loved the fashion show today! I know LadyX and Cob are going to come cruising in and will be very happy to see all of the work Billie did to make today very special!

[whoever]

Sleep well, 4. God bless your day tomorrow.
