Must have been a nice big fire! As long as it was contained, fire can be fun. Bet the warmth felt good too!

We did that once when visiting Ms. B. I wish I had taken pictures of it. I thought I had, but I can’t find them.

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...hope your weather is allowing you and Gizmo to get out to the lake and “hunt”.

You guys have a terrific Monday.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

I hope it hasn’t been too wild over there. Did the temps drop quickly to frigid behind the front?

It’s been windy here and the front is just starting to move through here. The temp has dropped 5 degrees in the last half hour.

It was pretty big but since it had rained the night before, the wood was still a bit damp. But you get a fire hot enough, it dries the wood out close to it and it just keeps going. There’s still a glow out there even now after the little bit of rain we got earlier. I can see it through the French doors.

It was fairly warm last night so we didn’t stand all that close to the fire. Didn’t need it for warmth. Just enjoyed watching the flames while we chatted. LOL

It is cold out there this morning. I just got out with Gizmo a few ago. Keeping him in the house as much as I can. He likes to wheel and deal in the cold.

Thankfully we didn't lose power here at the house from the crazy wind yesterday as LUV W. mentioned. However our local Sonic Drive Inn on the other side of town did have a power bump from the winds earlier in the day.

I don’t reckon you spent any more time outside than absolutely necessary. LOL! I hope Gizmo didn’t take his jolly time taking care of business.

Glad you didn’t lose power. Bad enough at any time but especially when it’s cold.

We’ve been lucky so far that our power has behaved. Hope that continues through today, as the winds are supposed to be even stronger on the back side of the front. They’ve been plenty strong all day and night so far.

Glad you could enjoy it without the wind or rain interfering. Nothing like a nice fire....a controlled one, that is.

Guess I’d better go now. I am feeling the effects of getting up early this morning. Man! It was hard to do! See ya tomorrow!

It was nice, for sure. It’s been a little while since we had a big fire. There’ll be more as we haven’t gotten all the tree debris piled up. The big pecan tree that fell over still hasn’t been dealt with yet.

I’m shocked you stayed up this late. LOL! Sleep well AND late into the morning.

Sounds like inside is best in the cold.

Good morning, Canteen. Good morning to our

AWESOME

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Star/Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
Berlin Airlift is a wonderful holiday story.
I think of it often when I see a Hersey chocolate bar.

We're in for more rain today; just happy it's not snow.
Just dropping in to say hello.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
I have some errands to run this morning,
so by the time some of you get up, I'll be gone.

Gonna check out some of the headlines; will catch up with y'all tomorrow.

Gotta run.
Please stick around and visit with the military
and/or family members.
That's what we're here for.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come 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.



Til they all come home.

Howdy on this bright cool morning [barely]!
I'm slow to get things going today. LOL!
Hope y'all aren't in the blizzard zone!
Looks like a bad one!
It's cool here...but warming fast.
I kind of wish it would stay chilly.
It's nearly winter, darn it!
It's supposed to be cold!
Of course, my kittehs might object.
Anyhoooooo....y'all have a Mahv'lus Monday
...and a Wonderful Week!
((((hugs))))
