At a nursing home in Florida, a group of senior citizens were sitting
around talking about their aches and pains.

"My arms are so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.

"I know what you mean. My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my
coffee," replied another.

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a
third.

"My blood pressure pills make me dizzy," another contributed.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man.

Then there was a short moment of silence.

"Thank God we can all still drive," said one woman cheerfully.

Thank you, Sir, for your service to our country. The Canteen is here for our troops, veterans, their families, and our allies to have a home away from home where they are honored daily. We will NEVER forget.

Hi Tonk and all other Canteeners. Thanks for picking up the torch and carrying on. I don't post often but I am with you all in spirit.

Your bird? Try looking over the cuckoo clock. I hear they fly over them.

Hi Dutchgirl. I think I know you. :) I owe you a FReepmail. How are you doing? I've been thinking about you.

An extra set of wheels can come in handy sometimes.
