My goodness! Y’all had high winds AND tons of rain? Sounds
like soooo much fun there today!

We might get some rain tonight, but I’m no holding my breath. LOL!

[Old Sarge]

Evening, Ma!

Could you add The Bride to the Canteen Ping list, please?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sorta like politics ain't it?

LOL!! Tis true. Does real time mean Monday night football too? No trying to dodge seeing anything about the score until you get to see it in your prime time?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending a prayer that you do get rain.

[AZamericonnie]

Never forget indeed Luvie...in our hearts & minds always! *Hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

I can do that.

Good evening, Sarge...((HUGS))...and Bride of...((HUGS))

Nice weather today? We had LOTS of winds, up to 100 mph on the hillside. And LOTS of power outages.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Idaho...((HUGS))...poor Fredd. This too shall pass.

Any reports from home? Have they stopped the fire approaching your house?

[The Mayor]

Thank you!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, AZ, and thank you for the red, white, and blue tribute to our troops.

Hope your day went well and you got some rest over the long weekend.

Did you have a safe commute? Not too much traffic? *HUGS*

[Bride Of Old Sarge]

Thanks! Big Warm Hugs to you without the winds...

[Kathy in Alaska]

They knew the costs, but forged ahead....true heroes. Our WWII military men and women were most all heroes. We will always owe them thanks for the victories they fought and died for.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Bride. I’m hoping to sleep tonight.

We don’t have hurricane force winds very often, and power outages even less. I ordered a couple more hurricane lamps on Amazon today, along with extra wicks. I’ve tried to find them here before, but could only find lamp oil.

I need to learn the ins and out of generators, and what size we need. We have a small one, but I don’t know the steps for getting it “hooked” into the house for fridge, freezer, computers. If my ship were to come in, I’d look into the kind that kicks in by itself after a certain period of time and powers a bunch of things.

[Kathy in Alaska]

w h !!

Thanks, unique, for the cheering guys!

Bride of.....#50!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Great picture, Luv....thanks.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))...is Wednesday still your best students day?

Have a great Thursday!

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.

A very pleasant good morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How's it going?

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. Glad to see you’re doing OK. Hopefully, everything will return back to normal in your area soon.
