SCOUTS OUT!

[Billie]

Good morning, All. Since today's thread is talking about Holiday Scheduling, etc. this one seemed fitting to start the thread. :)

[dutchess]

Morning finest hostesses. What a great idea for the holidays. Sigh...we're heading for Key West Sunday for Thanksgiving...which on the surface "ain't so bad" BUT....once again I'll be freep impaired. I guess my first task will be to check out the Key West Public Library...Now is that the sign of a freeper addict or what LOL!

[daisyscarlett]

Oh that lucky Roscoe, to have his very own personal artist in-house...Did he approve of his Christmas portrait?...Is that a "doggie" cookie recipe?..LOL..and Good Morning to you and Roscoe. Hope he does not get a big head when he reads the Finest thread today...

On this day 1967, over at the airbase in Da Nang watching big airliners leaving, wishin' I was on them...listening to Janice and Jimmie on the transistor...lookin' at our AF light up Monkey Mountain at night...tradin' jokes and items we got from the Womens Clubs around Armerica (one town in Iowa I can't remember but will never forget the items sent: popcorn, corn cakes, hams and bunches of small gifts, like cigarette lighters wrapped in knitted casings. We traded a lot with the "Johnny Jarheads" who were our security force...they kept us "squids" safe. I never saw Harm's Way, just heard a lot about it...I left in early Dec. never to return...anybody else remember '67?

[JustAmy]

Good Morning!
I've only gotten down to #8, but I already know it is a great thread. Thanks, Billie.

JustOne of your favorite Hooligans!!!

Mornin' Hostesses.

The fog has burned off and the sun is shining brightly.

This is the day that the LORD has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.

I love it when a picture speaks so loudly and clearly, don't you?

What Dogs Do For Us:

Catch Frisbees.

Keep a lonely night from being truly lonely. Keep our homes safe.

Get us outside on beautiful fall days. Listen to our singing.

Treat us like celebrities when we come home.

Warm up our beds on cold nights. Star in our home videos.

Make our hearts more vigorous. Take us outdoors on snowy winter days.

Alert us to the arrival of the mail. Help us to live longer.

Make us smile. Agree with everything we say.

Warm our knees with their chins. Provide us use for old tennis balls.

Signal when a thunderstorm is coming. Pull sleds.

Help lower our blood pressure. Test how fast we can run.

Keep the squirrels from overtaking our yards.

Teach us the meaning of unconditional love. Take us out on rainy days.

Teach our children about responsibility.
