Bob, you've got it: just got about four peach pies made and in the oven for dessert today.
And the roast, etc., for our Sunday Dinner here in the Cafe/Diner will be ready, and on the warmer bar, by 1 p.m. EDT. Looks like everything is going nicely this morning.
Read that article, Bob, and it's a very good one, too. Even printed it out.

Alas, they weren't running the Mudhen yesterday, but we did get a nice ride. Very popular - it appears that they fill every train. The Crossroads Village is very nice - didn't spend a lot of time looking around (Mom's 82 - she gets around well, but there is a limit), and that got cut short by a downpour. I'll get a couple of pictures up when I can edit them.

stay safe

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Good Sunday morning, everyone! It's a very pleasant 66 degrees here in Lou., KY, but the temp is supposed to drop another couple of degrees this morning, as the sun is starting to come over the horizon. Our high today is to be 84 again today.
Quentin, some areas around us are getting a little bit of scattered rain this morning. It already seems to be dissipating, as it continues to the east of us.
Coffee, juices, tea, lemonade, and hot water for hot tea are all ready. On the breakfast bar this morning: cantaloupe, watermelon, BLTS, if anyone wants any, and there's plenty of pizza left from last night.
Guess I'd better head back to the kitchen, and get the roast, carrots & onion on for Sunday Dinner. Along with the side dishes of corn on the cob and baked potatoes, we'll also have cole slaw. Is there anything else any of you would like to have with it this afternoon/evening?!?!?! What kind of desserts would you like to have today?
.....Our Sunday morning starts {at this time}, with 62.2 degrees and the sun working it's way towards rising above the neighbors trees....
We actually did receive some rain late last night and that seems good and well because now it will be towards the end of the week before any possibility of more is forecast.....But you know, sometimes they are wrong.
So from the present perspective....it looks like a good Sunday. Hope it's like that up in Watkins Glenn, NY for the race....Attended a race {not Nascar}, up there many years ago....nice country.
Quentin
Joe, would you like any of that corn boiled or grilled tomorrow, to go with the roast & carrots I'm planning for Sunday Dinner? If so, just let me know, o.k?
Sounds like you all got a very good mess of fresh, homegrown produce today! I've done quite a bit of corn shucking over the last 52 years (yes, Daddy put my twin and I to work at about 4 years old, shucking corn, picking up apples, peaches, persimmons, grapes, and whatever else he had planted in the family garden. And it was my dubious job of helping Mama make sweet pickled beets, dry apples and peaches, and get the beans and peas ready to can and freeze, etc. Seems like my older sister was never at home, at those times.
Everyone have a nice, peaceful evening, and see you all tomorrow!!
Cw thanks for the pizza.we have fresh tomatoes,green beans and sweet corn too.We even have a rainbow outside our front door.Randy just a note US 24 in nw ohio is a mess.Going to go help matt schuck some corn.

Pizza Supreme sounds good.
fuel. Prices for diesel coming down. I've actually seen them under $4.40 @ gal. Give it a week maybe under $4? but I digress. Enjoy the good weather. Temps have come down here in Ar this wkend a little.
Oh yeah Hope is having their annual Watermelon Festival.
Well, looks like we've really been slow in here today. Everything from breakfast/brunch has been cleared off the warmer bar, and I've made the pizzas for tonight. Here is the menu of pizzas for tonight:
SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST:
1. anchovie
2. ghoetta
3. Hawaiian
4. pepperoni/mushroom
5. supreme
6. calzones (just in case Sac Guy drops in and anyone else who likes calzones!)
We were supposed to reach a high today in the low 80s, and right now, at 5:23 EDT, our temp is 79 degrees f. And instead of sunshine, it's overcast outside. But, I'm not complaining one bit. Our Ky. State Fair starts next Thursday, and school starts back Tuesday, so you know it'll be hotter than a firecracker!!
You all have a great evening, and enjoy your pizzas.
....Looks like a very nice Saturday. 65.3 now and again, bright sunshine. Clear blue skies.
Everyone have a good weekend.

....Cool Tom...I am not...Just got off the John deere finishing up the yard mowing for today. It's not that hot by the thermometer but boy, that sun still has power and it is shining bright today. So we're in here cooling off a bit before thinking what's next. Need some lunch soon.
Actually, the thermometer is showing just 83 plus, but the sun is really driving it home....
+83 Degrees F could you send some of cool air down my way? Yesterday(Thur) was down in Houston, my thermometer recorded temps of +103F(+humidity). & over +100F in Dallas Today(Fri).
I'm at the house now & in the air conditioning in the house as opposed to the truck w a/c.

We lost an hour in traffic west of Toronto - looks like we would have lost it at Sarnia anyhow.
Checked out "Milford Memories" today. Booths were down a bit, but it was all good anyhow.
Actually saw a southbound on CSX's Saginaw sub tonight! First time in three visits...
Headed for Huckleberry Village Saturday for a ride behind a Mudhen.
....Well Randy, sounds like we're talking about the same location. I was always glad to get thru that area. Some wild scenery thru there and even a tunnel if I remember correctly. At least in one direction.

Cw thanks for supper.we had a great time at the ft wayne zoo.we even found some more areas along a trail to explore in new haven along NS.Time to read the daily paper and watch my eyelids close.
Things are looking better in here. Who fixed the screen door? Whomever fixed it, thank you.
Just got through taking another round of grilled fish and corn on the cob off the grill, and is now on the warmer bar. Plenty of the side dishes have also been replenished.
The weather is so nice today, we managed to turn off the industrial size fan in the living room. But, I'm not sure what our high actually made it up to today. Took a late nap, and missed the weather report on the local evening news.
You all enjoy your grilled fish, and have a great evening.

The screen door is now out of service (and almost in pieces). When the cat wants in, the cat wants in.
....Well Tom, that was a long time ago but still remember it was fun. First trip the wife and I made since being recently married. And we sure did come many miles down on 301 including that area....So if you were there back then we have been close....
We sailed down to Florida on our first trip to the deep south in our 1957 Corvette....A black one with the silver cove trim on the sides....In fact, Have a picture of us in Florida on the desk here and a model of that Corvette as I write. {Photo of it too}.
Remember it was so hot driving we made it to Jessup, Ga. and stopped for the overnight...arriving in mid afternoon and swam a while in the motel pool and then got up real early the next morning to travel before it got so warm....it was summer.
Dan, I think Mookie has earned a couple of new nicknames this morning (and neither is courtesy of me!) No, it wasn't Yosemite Sam, but Nebraska Nell, or the Lincoln Lurker/Lugger. (Not to be confused with Louisville Slugger).
Instead of our regular Friday Fish Fry, today is going to be grilled fish day. The cod, perch, flounder, haddock, halibut and jumbo shrimp will all be grilled today. But, we've still got the regular side dishes of baked beans, corn on the cob, hushpuppies and cole slaw.
DESSERTS TODAY: chocolate cake, and the usual list of pies and cobblers, along with ice cream.

I found a big old pot and an BIG spoon and roused them up quickly. Thinking back, I'm surprised I survived that. Latest weather guess now is 88 for todays high instead of 90+. Things are on the improve.

I thought it was nice this morning at 53 on the therm-o-meter. We're on the way to mid/upper 70s today. Better than the "dog days of August" as far as I'm concerned.
Something smells like gunpowder around here...was Yosemite Sam in this morning?
