SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.
I bet the 2012 Warrior Games are exciting
(and heartbreaking) to watch in person.

A pinch of this...a dash of that...

There are 19 buildings in the
landmark Rockefeller Center Complex in New York City.

A group of bees can be called either a hive, a swarm, or a grist.

It is estimated that a single toad may catch
and eat as many as 10,000 insects
in the course of a summer.

Pennsylvania has the largest
rural population in the United States.

I've got to post and run. Going for walk before it gets hotter.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!

Almost there! I could sure do without the triple-digit heat, though. Fortunately, I'll be inside all day.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[beachn4fun]

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

All is well. Bracing for another blast of heat.

Howz it out your way? Hot too?

[MEG33]

I’m ready..Errands run, food stocked up.

I early voted yesterday (run off) ..I am prepared for Olympics watching with my trusty A/C working hard...

I will face the heat to only feed and water the birds for a few days..
;o)

(((HUGS)))

[E.G.C.]

Well, yeah it is a little bit hot here too. We lucked out yesterday. NO POWER OUTAGES!!!!!:-D But, we'll see how today works out. There are storms in the forecast for today and tonight.

We are enjoying a break from the heat but the forecast is for the heat wave to return next week.

Bo and I had a great time out at Wichita Ridge yesterday. Bo always likes to hang around in places he's not supposed to. I have to keep him on a leash sometimes.

I am looking at the radar as I type this. Some rain in Northwest Oklahoma but it decreasing. More is in the forecast for later today.

BTW, To keep track of the storms I use Google Chrome and Google Auto Refresh Plus which I set for 30 seconds for this radar and 10 seconds for this radar Great tool for tracking storms.

[luvie]

Whew! Early Birds, it's HOT already!
Anyone else here ready for fall?
I sure am!
Supposed to rain. Yeah, right!
Everyone have a great day!
...and don'w work too hard!
((((hugs))))

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning LUV and (((HUGS))) to you.

That bird has the right idea for keeping cool.
