Morning, Scuttle! Haven't seen you in a while! Hope you're feelin' just as ornery as ever! :)

[Billie]

Thank you again for the intro. You were right - I like it!

Well, you should! But who IS that guy?! :)

Lt. Gen. 'Chesty' Puller

Hello there, son -
Droppin' by to acknowledge one of my boys in the spotlight,
and hope you had a great birthday yesterday.

Goin' to be havin' a big celebration on our next
United States Marine Corps Birthday
on November 10th.

I'll be there with all us guys up here -
and all those who have kept and currently are keepin' the line movin' ~

Pray for those in harm's way today and tomorrow, folks,
and their families ~ thanks.

I also love that you Present Arms! to lad's list of fallen comrades.

I can tell GW has driven down those dusty caliche roads of West Texas and looked across the sage brush and the cactus to capture the beauty in his mind of a country that not many people appreciate.
I can also tell that his iron will and determination to do what's best for this country of ours has it's roots in the long line of stalwart predecessors who came before.

I'll have that healthy looking banana dish on the left...Good morning to you...

[daisyscarlett]

Thank you so much for all the neat graphics and stuff you are adding to this COB1 tribute.

[Billie]

Morning, Fred! (He's prolly not so tall - you know those cowboy boots add 3 inches to a feller's height - then add the Stetson, and, well......he 'looks' like a big guy!)

Kidding, Cob! These other two guys are both over 6 feet tall, too.....gosh, cowboy boots, zoot suits......you got it all, Coby! :)

Sorry for the mix-up. My buddy Billie must have entered my FReeper anniversary date for me while I was away...Thanks, sweet Billie...

[COB1]

Depend on you to pick up on that hardhat!!
Yep! I would definitely get thrown in the mud pit with that on!
Reminds me of a German I worked with in the MidEast who wore a WWI Prussian helmet for a hard hat!
THAT caused some looks!!

[daisyscarlett]

lol...I actually have a real eye exam today...

[Billie]

Good morning, AquaFriend! Love that Semper Fi!

Hi, Clancy - good to see you today!

[Aquamarine]

Mornin Billie I hope you didn't mind me borrowing your Marine graphic. It was just too perfect to resist for that midi! :)

[daisyscarlett]

I am extremely disappointed in that I have to leave for a while today. It is a "Health and Beauty Day" for me today, three appointments including an eye doctor one where they put those drops in your eyes and you can't read for a bit. I will check in later....

Meanwhile, here is our calendar page for today.

[Billie]

Good morning, jw. I just love reading your greetings every morning. You are so thoughtful - always remembering ALL the hostesses, too!

[LadyX]

Thank you, daisy.
Once I found a few gold mines, I started having fun!!

[COB1]

"doesn't every first grader have their photo taken when their front teeth are missing?!"

Yep, you're pretty smart, Billie!
That was first grade!

I was fourteen.

Good morning, ladyred! What a great 'tribute' to Cob! I know how so many of you feel about him, and from all indications the feeling is mutual! He's a great guy, and the FResno FReepers are a great bunch! Heck, we're ALL great guys! :)
