Welcome to the USO Canteen FReeper Style

.

Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.

This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style.
It is like a cottage down a road,
a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.

Since it opened, it is magical how so many
Freepers who post here, feel it too.
It has been so dear how the Freepers
kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place
that had a huge living room
for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.

Many Veterans have written to me,
saying that the Canteen is like home
to them for the first time since they served.

This is your Canteen -
a respite from our busy
and sometimes troubling world.
Make yourself at home.

..............................................................................................................................................................................

Thank you SAMWolf for creating the Themeless Thursday.
Thank you Coteblanche for creating the intro with the Canteen Cottage.

Hey there, Victoria! How has your day (and week!) been? Thanks for sending that marvelous cool, dry weather down here -- when I walked outside this morning I had a flashback and thought for a few moments that I was back in Calgary.

I know the feeling, souris! I'm not a little mouse; I'm 5'8" but I have very long legs, and I'm so long-waisted it's a pain in the watusi!! Pants NEVER fit! Ever!! Dresses, depending on the cut -- Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!

I think I'm out of order; Windows crashed again (the XP crapola!) and I'm trying to get back in to the Canteen, and yours is the first post I saw with a flag to me on it!

Lead me back!! Please??

Merci, souris!

(LOVE your hair!!)

"I told FallGuy how you have to box up stuff in the garage and he groaned. He knows he has that to do once the house sells. All his tools and drills and things. He said he feels for you in all the hard work you are doing."

OY! Is everybody doing this?? We have spent the last day and a half over in our storage unit cleaning it out and rearranging it. It reminded me SOOO much of moving, and I even wondered how badly I wanted to get out of MN..."bad enough to do THIS again??" I figured, "Yeah, I think so..." LOL!
