HAPPY 'FINALLY ' FRIDAY

The news on the 'Mudd Babes' isn't so great . Now they have been informed they will be restricted to base when they get back (for their own safety) and the kids will go off to stay with their Grandparents in California. Luting is supposed to be very bad down there and they don't know yet if their home has been luted or what. Please keep them in your prayers.

Long, long week and I'm glad it's done. We have a long weekend to look forward to and Sunday I'll be going to visit the 'Camping babes'. Part of my family is camping up by the lake this weekend and the weather is supposed to be almost perfect. My old 'camping buddy' is going along with me, so it should be fun.

Here's a new abbreviation for you : S.O.A.P. it stands for Sending On A Prayer. Each time you wash your hands - send on a prayer for a mother or a grandmother. Easy way to remember to pray for all those MOMs that need a prayer - we all do!

And here's a link that was sent to me by a friend...about colors - enjoy!

TODAY IS...POP TOP DAY !

The first beer cans were the "Flat Top" by the G. Krueger Brewing Company in 1935. You needed the old "church key" to get them open. These flat top cans were produced until 1970. In 1963, the "Pop Top" was introduced by the Schlitz Brewing Company - good for making endless chains. In 1975, the "Sta Tab" replaced the pop tops. This was good for the landfills and small animals who were eating the rings, but not as much fun
