Hi Janey!

Did you ever post the pics you were talking about awhile back?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

Poppin' in during a commercial break. Back in a bit, after the "Survivor" finale is over. What can I say? I'm an addict. LOL

Today was gorgeous, and we got both Hike and Bike in today before the T-Storms hit!

Last night was Pub Night, and my bass student and I played together. I was awesome.

YIKES!

“IT WAS AWESOME”, NOT
“I WAS AWESOME” (I’M NOT LIKE THAT, REALLY. Even if I had been awesome, I would not say so! LOL!)

[SkyDancer]

Just got home and was showing them to the folks. I’m beat,been up like 22 hours and still not heading to bed just yet.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Survive the day with your sanity intact? Checks get out on time?

[radu]

Howdy, MS.B

How are things up your way these days?
Tigermaus behaving himself or being a brat? :-)

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

I probably missed ya but hope you had nice weather for getting out and about in.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

OOOOOOOooooooo!
*swan dive*
Thanks, Ma!
*HUG*

[MS.BEHAVIN]

WOO HOOOO!!!
;0)

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

How are things down your way? Has the thermostat been cranked up yet or did you get one more day of a break?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUGZ*
Hey there. ‘Du!
It was a gorgeous day up here!
Sunny, breezy and in the low 70’s.
Tigermaus is ALWAYS a brat!

Last week he vomited quite a lot one day,
and I was worried!
It did not last longer than that one day, and he’s back to normal!

[luvie]

We got sort of a break today and will tomorrow. We had huge rain clouds in the area, but guess what? They went around us. Again! This is what it's going to be like next week. I'm ready to leave for somewhere cool! LOL! At least for the summer!

Check out next Friday. Blech!

Hope y'all are having pretty and not-so-hot weather!

[radu]

Ooooooo, your weather sounds delightful!
88 and steamy here today. Not much fun going to the grocery store in the muggy mess but it had to be done.

At least you just have the one brat. I’m vastly outnumbered by brats here. LOL! But we can’t help but love ‘em, can we?

Sounds like he had a tummy bug, which isn’t uncommon. Glad it only lasted a day. Sometimes, 48 hour bugs make the rounds. :-(

[radu]

UGH!!! TOO HOT!!!

Might be time to plan a LONG trip to JH. LOL

Not quite that hot here but we have the humidity that makes it feel hotter than the thermometer reads. 88 today and a little hotter tomorrow, with no rain. Then rain comes in from a system over the Gulf that’ll start moving this-a-way. We’ll have a soggy holiday weekend.

Permission Granted!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy!
***HUGS***



Striding up the gangplank as we speak,
rendering Hand Salutes to our National Colors
and to the Officer of the Deck!
Thank you very much for this evening's
"Remembering Our Troops" thread!

[ConorMacNessa]

Real Men Stand for Our National Anthem!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



"The Star Spangled Banner"
Verse Four
(Click)

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
