WELCOME TO THE

(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.
The guy's shirt and the wheel/handle look the same color
in that color wheel photo.
Still busy here, and I have meeting this afternoon,
so gotta get prepared.

Had a good thunderstorm roll through last night.
Got chance of showers throughout the day,
but it's cooler.

Gotta make my rounds quickly.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. How’s it going?

[left that other site]

The door mats are soaked with rainwater and are starting to “grow” stuff. Eyew.. I have hung them on the railings, hoping the sunshine will air them out.

Lynn-dah doesn’t have a raincoat or galoshes, but she DOES have a fluffy red towel with her name embroidered upon it. :0

I used to love riding Rt 55 through West Virginia, but the last time I was there, a new interstate was being built .

I suppose it is important to supply the people in the area, but it made me kind of sad.

I have recently taken to driving the same routes I used to ride via satellite on my computer. I can usually zoom to about 60 ft, and see details that remind me of my journeys.I have also “flown surveillance” over places I would never in a lifetime get to visit, and I am keeping a log.

Some of the places I have been are quite interesting; Kabul, Lhasa, Three Gorges Dam in China, Archangel and Murmansk, Saigon, Paris, Rome, London, Kodiak Island, Rio de Janiero, Machu Pichu, Petra, and the Taj Mahal..

Yesterday, I went to Medina,KSA, and zeroed in on the Green Domed “tomb of Mohamed”.

Alas, I had only a mouse with me at the time.
