FReeper Canteen ~ Canteen Kids: Who's Your Favorite Engine? ~ Feb. 1, 2006
Loves The Troops! | Shorty Gigglelips

Posted on 01/31/2006 6:06:46 PM PST by StarCMC

 

Hi!  My name is Shorty and I am 4 years old!
First I want to say thanks for trying to keep us safe to all the soldiers out there!

Today I want to talk about my favorite TV show,

Thomas the Tank Engine

The show is all about Thomas and his friends.
Some of their names are Gordon and Percy.

My favorite engine is Emily, because when I play with my Emily in the living room, her wheels go deep in the carpet and I can pretend it's snowing.  Here's a picture of Emily:

Emily is green and she doesn't have a number.  Instead she just has some squares.

Another engine is James.

He's my second favorite engine because he's red and red is a pretty color.  James is number 5. 

There's a new engine called Molly.

I don't know much about her yet except that she's yellow.

 

Here are some fun things you can do online with Thomas:

Play games and more at Thomas' site!

 Some printable activity sheets here!

 Lost of stuff to know about Thomas here!

I hope you like my thread.  I had fun telling you about my favorite TV show.

Who is YOUR favorite engine?

Good morning from chilly southeastern Mi.

My favorite engine is a Boss 351 Cleveland, with a Holly quad Carb! Put that into a '72 Ford Gran Torino and then you have quite a ride!

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

My family and I thank you for all you do. We think you are truly amazing. My heart swells with pride everytime I think about what you do.

Thank you, Shorty, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. I like trains.

Howdy.... Oops! Bye.........I'm just passing through this morning just to say HOWDY to all. I have lots of work to get through today. It's time card week. If I get it done this morning, I will have time to visit during lunch time.

But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is OPEN

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and

our allies military and the family members of the above.

Honoring those who have served before.
