I just discovered it tonight.
I am kinda bummed that they don’t have a good canteen, with a nice ribeye steak night for member’s, but it is very cool that they are open to the general public and that are part of the fabric of San Antonio.

[mylife]

A truly great VFW post.

[luvie]

Yep, we do! And that makes it more fun!

[luvie]

LOL!

Ow—ow...how ‘bout when they’re climbing up my leg!

One already loves to sleep behind me on my chair here at the computer in the dining room. :)

We have established a routine! Yay!

[mylife]

It’s always an adventure!

[Kathy in Alaska]

One line...."Tonight's Canteen ping...Remembering The Troops". That's it! LOL!

Could work, and if it continues to ping 3 times no matter what, the pingees will not feel so bombarded.

Great idea.....

[luvie]

I’m ready for it!! Are you?

I hate waiting!

[mylife]

It cant come soon enough for me.

I had a seriously good time last go around.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi my.....making progress for sure. I pushed a snow shovel across the deck to see what it felt like. I didn’t try to lift, just push the snow off. Nothing hurt, or tweeked, or anything. Now, if only I could sleep all night.

[AZamericonnie]

Is this your first snow?

Monday was Sonboy’s birthday & I succumbed to bronchitis as well that day so Iv’e missed a couple of days of work.

Heading back tomorrow. Feeling much better!

[mylife]

What’s keeping you up at night?

Give it another week or 2 and you should feel right as rain physically.

[AZamericonnie]

The last time I was around kittens was at my Brother & Sister in Law’s ranch house.

They were so adorable we let them climb up our legs to “kiss” our faces.

Total sock messer uppers however! Don’t dare leave a sock ball in site!

[Kathy in Alaska]

You did it, Luv...finally!!

Congratulations...my favorite color kitties.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We got a little snow last night.

[luvie]

I did, too. I think it was probably the perfect trip! Everything was practically perfect.

Except that horrible lunch at the shrimp place. LOL!

Wimberly will be awesome!

Did y’all go to the river yet to practice?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[The Mayor]

Thank you Kathy!

[mylife]

I am to take some folks this weekend.
Not the FReeper gang.
Should be good weather.

Wimberly wont be the culinary capital of the world BUT we are set up for doing our own cooking and doing “the gangs all here” thing.

It will be great.

[luvie]

Oh! I did forget about how they love socks! I’ll have to watch out for that! LOL!

[mylife]

Aight Gang, I gotta get to bed.

Cyall later.
