At the FReeper Canteen!

C'mon and take a break ! Walk on over to the water cooler and lets chat. Post your thoughts, opinions, news of the day, rantings, ravings, pontificates, hypothesis, hyperboles, your soap box cause, your mantra, your baggage, your garbage, your blogging, your secrets, whatever you feel would make talk around the water cooler real interesting!

Please remember that The Canteen is here to support
and entertain our troops and veterans and their families,
and is family friendly.

I was up at 0630 this morning, but made a light breakfast first.

We have rain predicted for today and tomorrow with some heavy showers.

[Arrowhead1952]

We had one heavy shower during the early morning hours and I saw lightening flashes.

[Arrowhead1952]

I want to work in the garden today, but looks like the rain will keep me inside.

[Boogieman]

Glad you enjoyed it, happy Friday to you too!
