Great supper!
Phone rings at work today - I check the caller ID and know I recognize the number. Then I realize it's my daughter. Unexpected phone calls at unexpected times are generally not a good thing, but this one was.
Gonna be a grandpa again! This one's due in May.
Daughter wanted about a year between her brother's baby and her own and she did a pretty good job - 14 months.
Too early to know whether it's a boy or a girl, but we'll find out soon if it's healthy - they start those ultrasounds really early!

Roy, it's both: chicken and beef fajitas.
The sky is looking like we could get some rain any time! I sure do hope so. At least I got the tomatoes picked, so I'm ready for the rain to come on in, and give them a good deep drink of water. (That way, we don't have to lug out the sprinkler can x # of times to water them!!
Sorry about getting back in here so late; but here is tonight's supper menu, ala MEXICAN FIESTA:
1. Spanish Rice
2. Burritos: beef, beef & bean, beef enchilada style
3. Tacos (soft shell and hard shell)
4. Chimichangas
5. Fajitas
Think our high today reached 85. It was pretty cool all morning, felt really nice out. But, around 2, 2:30, it really started to warm up as the breeze went kaploohy (sp?)

Sunny here, but cool - about 46 when I left the house this morning. This is August?
Bearclaw and Tea.
Planning on kayaking this weekend, if the water isn't too high...
....59 to start our day here, and lots of sunshine and still dry...!
Quentin
matt was on time today and he is on the Bus.Busy night at work.time for a nap.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. We have a morning temp of 68 degrees, and looking for a high of 81 for today. Hopefully, in a day or two, we'll get some of that rain that is to the south of us, around Nashville, TN.
Coffee, juice, milk and hot tea are ready, and on the breakfast bar this morning: turkey bacon, pork sausage patties, scrambled eggs, cereal,toast, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, bagels and bear claws. We'll give Matt a good breakfast, to start his school day out right, and give him plenty of energy for the morning!
Got roast, taters and carrots on in the Crock Pots for later on today (lunch & supper).
You all have a great morning, and I'll see you all when Tuesday Produce is over.
....For anyone watching the D convention from Denver today {yesterday}, and this evening....beautiful shots of the Union Station in the background from MSNBC at the location of reporters Chris Mathews and Keth Oberman.
The same Union Station Chris {Cop Car}, has shown us on here....with his great night photos.

We have some good news from the Piedmont of North Carolina.---------
In short we finally got some rain and the news guys say that we will have it for the next two days.
Now I can have a yard that is not brown again.

Afternoon
I worked over this morning.I saw a sperry truck checking out the ns nyc line when I left work.Mom went and met matthews teacher.Tommorow it's first grade.They have 18 children in the class and matt has a seat in the front row.CW thanks for supper.
Mutt and I have been outside a couple of times this morning, and I'm beginning to wish I had put on long pants: it's actually a little bit chilly out, with the breeze that is blowing!
Today's menu will be : baked pork chops w/stuffing, your choice of the following vegetables: corn, broccoli, peas, carrots; apple sauce w/cinnamon, garden salad, sliced tomatoes.
Desserts today: chocolate cake, fresh baked apple pie and peach cobbler. (And plenty of ice cream to go with any of the desserts.)
....Our day is starting {again}, with bright skies and 63 degrees. No rain. Communication from a niece traveling from my home area in Pennsylvania up and thru Groove City {northwest Pa.}, yesterday, had to pull off the road on account of hard rain...What a difference. Bone dry here still. We too are to have lower temps today. Haven't checked yet if I should open the windows...
Good Monday morning to one and all. I sure do hope that mudchicken, boss hen and Chris (copcarss) are all A-O.K. this morning: just heard on our local news something about a tornado (and they weren't talking about the Dem. Nat'l. Convention) in the Denver area.
Our temps are beginning to cool off: it's about 69 degrees here in the Louisville area, and our high today is to be in the 80s, with a slight possibility of rain showers.
Coffee, juice and hot water for tea are ready; and on the warmer bar: the regular breakfast menu.

Four rides, actually, and I can deduct my mileage from my taxes, too...
Our various wine trains have very different personalities. For instance, the Friday night train in Utica is very much a Friday-night-end-of-the-workweek crowd. Loud and boisterous.
Time for some supper.

Good thing they are not driving (in public anyway) -------------- PL
By the way: The Brownies were great
I know I'm running about two hours late, but here's our Sunday Dinner menu:
Steak patties w/mashed taters and gravy, broccoli and cauliflower w/cheddar cheese sauce, corn.
Dessert: homemade brownies w/ice cream (or ice cream w/homemade brownies, however you want to look at it)
You all enjoy your meal and afternoon, and take care!!

CNW - That sounds like here on Friday and Saturday. T'storms in the forecast for for later today, but I got all my yard work done on Friday and in fact have stuff that needs to be done inside...
Nice day for running on the RR. Spent the whole day as conductor (still in training) - the conductor said he had it easy - I did all the work. Last train was a wine train - the customers were well behaved, and the live band was pretty good, too. (Nope - didn't have any - Rule G, donchaknow). We caught an awesome sunset as we were crossing the trestle - paused momentarily to let the passengers enjoy the sight.
Of course, it also made for a twelve hour day. Let's see, time and a half at $0 an hour is how much?
What a horrible day outside...nothing but blue sky, 67 degrees, and a slight breeze blowing in from the NW. We're shooting for a high of 75 today and no humidity to speak of. I hate when that happens!
Thanks for breakfast CW, it sure smells good! I have some time today so I'll sit trackside and see if CN will send any more GEVOs my way. Made a stop in Green Bay yesterday after a work related workshop in the morning. Picked up a CNW AC4400, 8826, in HO scale that I've been wanting but not able to find for a long time...made my day! I also got some decoders for some of my 'fleet' and some scenery related items. It might help on the 'to-do' list on my layout.
Take care all, and I'll pop in later!
good morning
CW thanks for breakfast. mookie this was our last summer trip.Matthew starts school on tuesday.Going to work on chores here before going to work tonight.
Joe
Quentin, our current temp is 76, and going for a high today of 96. Very warm, muggy and hazy out. Doesn't even seem to be even a tad bit of a breeze blowing, either.
Coffee, juices, teas and lemonade are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, cinnamon rolls, and strawberry muffins are on the warmer bar.
You all have a great morning, and talk with you later.
.....A steamy hazy morning to start....{Hear a train passing on NS as I type}, and the temp is 73, so another rather hot one I'd say. Bright in the east as the sun works up over the haze....No rain yet.
