TO THE

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

AWESOME

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing
the Canteen for today’s activities.

Happy (after) Christmas day.
Hope you all had a wonderful day
with family and friends.

We had beautiful weather:
50s, partly sunny, a slight wind as the clouds moved off.
This was very welcomed after nearly
3 days of rain or foggy weather.

Had a good visit with family;
my mother still cooks like she's feeding an army,
which, if all children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren
(the great-greats are still too young) show up,
she is.

Our oldest son and family didn't make it over,
as several members were suffering from a cold.
We will go visit Saturday morning
and get breakfast made by our son
(both boys love to cook).

Time for me to make my rounds.
Stay as long as you can
and keep the troops entertained.

And, if so inclined,
pray for the safety of our troops
AND
peace for our nation
whom the enemy is trying to destroy.

Now, as ALWAYS, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
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 allied military
and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

Had a great Christmas up to the point where I lost my dog Bo out at the lake for a time yesterday. He disappeared out in the weeds.

I ended up blowing my whistle and yelling his name for about an hour. He finally showed up.

I think I'm going to try a new command, blowing the whistle to get him to come to me so this doesn't happen again.

I think the last time this happened was several months ago. He seems to just like to run or something.

In any event, he's resting beside the sofa as I type this message.

I would suggest a favorite treat. You need to make coming back to you more tempting than whatever he is on the hunt for.

Sleep is wasted on the young, LUV!
Good morning, great to see you...off today?

We plan to return a few items and hit up the after-Christmas sales. We almost ran out of ribbons and bows this week, wrapping up gifts for Nana and Piper. don’t get me wrong, everyone got gifts this year. We just know who received the lion’s share, right?

It was a good Christmas for Bo, for me well.... I had to look for him out at the lake yesterday after he disappeared in the weeds while we were out there.

It took about an hour to find him but I finally did. Had to yell his name and blow the whistle. I walked the lake road and the beach.

Bo's resting now as I type this.

I exercised considerable restraint at the soiree last night. Off today - I'm getting ready to go out and work on the fence.
