I didn't expect 10 of 10 either. I usually make lousy choices on multiple choice quizzes. LOL!

I AM packed except for the computer & tablet and the larger handbag I'll carry on the trip. I can't stop thinking about it till it's done, so it's done. LOL!

Here's what the temp was up there this morning...not early either!

LOL! I figured you’d have a lot packed already. Hey, it’s the best way to be sure you don’t forget something. :-)

Ooooooo, those temps sound niiiiiiiice! It would be nice if some of that would move down south, wouldn’t it? You’re going to enjoy the relief from heat while you’re there.

I’m sure gonna try! LOL! I am looking forward to it. One of my friends from where I worked is up there now and she and her family have been having a great time. Of course, they’re into all kinds of sports and I’m totally not. But I’ll enjoy seeing the mountains and trees and feeling a cool breeze for a change!

How are you today? Did you get any more rain? Are the temps still cooler than they were last week?

Evenin’ Luvvy!

I got 10/10.

History not one of my greatest subjects so correct guessing must be a knack I picked up somewhere along the way! lol

The scenery is gorgeous in that area. I enjoy seeing it on the different live cams. Seeing it up close and personal will be really nice for you. And feeling that crisp cool air. Aaaaaahhh.

No rain for us today though there were a few showers in the area. All those did for us was raise the humidity. The temps aren’t all that much cooler so far this week but will cool off into the 80s in a couple of days.

Not fun doing the grocery shopping today in the heat but it had to be done. Tomorrow Lessa’s two boys go to the vet to be neutered and with the vet so far away, it just works better not trying to do both the same afternoon.

Typing while watching TV doesn’t always work out so well. Brain and fingers aren’t fully engaged. LOL!

Glad you’re doing ok. It’s been kinda rough in your part of the country. None of those big fires have been close to you, I hope.

We’re hanging in there, just waiting for the dog days of summer to scoot out. Got a while to wait yet. :-)

I hate getting out to try to do chores when it’s so hot. It just makes me crabby. LOL!

Been watching the sea eagle nest. Something weird going on there. Poor little baby has been alone nearly all day and hasn’t been fed since morning unless they fed him just in the past few minutes. I don’t think I’m going to watch anymore. It’s too hard.

I guess I should go for tonight. Hope tomorrow brings cooler temps or a bit of rain for you. None is forecast here till next week. I won’t be here. LOL! Naturally.

I don’t like running errands in the heat either. Could’ve waited until tonight to shop but didn’t feel up to it. Still haven’t gotten my steam back up after roasting last week and by evening, I’m not up to going anywhere. It’s done now so all’s good.

One of the parents (I think Dad) was on the nest earlier when I checked but I haven’t been back in a while. I wonder why they aren’t taking better care of their eaglet. It’s way too young to be left unbrooded, especially with the wind blowing so hard. I have the cam up now and they’re saying there have been other birds flying around and Lady and Dad might be busy running them off.

Hope you get a good night’s sleep and have a good day tomorrow.
We’ll cool off Thurs. and maybe we’ll get rain as the front comes in. Just have to wait and see.

A very pleasant good Wednesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks, LUV W. for this morning's quiz.

Here is the result I got.

You got 7 out of 10 answers correct!

That's better than 80% of the people who took this quiz!

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning

Thank you, Luvy, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.

So...I got 9/10.
I chose wrong on Roosevelt's 1941 speech
but guessed right on the Atik ship.

Good morning Canteeners. How is everyone?

WOO HOO! Woke up to 66 degrees!
And if the weather report is to be believed,
we will only be in the low 80s today.
Had a beautiful day on Tuesday and Tuesday night.
Much appreciated after weeks of hot, humid, stagnate air.

Eada and I had a good walk yesterday, and
since it's another beautiful morning, we'll
be heading out again.
But stick around and chat.

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

REMEMBER THEM
