CW - you are too generous.  If I even sampled all that food, I wouldn't have enough energy to even get to the hammock, let alone get out of it!  Think I will stick with cereal this morning. 

Watching one squirrel lately - all eat on the birdseed (rabbit included) but this one lays flat out on the concrete and dines.  He must be a Roman squirrel - they dined lying down as I remember. 

But he is plenty quick when another squirrel jumps at him. 

Off to do something.  Will be a big surprise to me when I figure out what!

Morning America!

CW, Thanks for breakfast. It was good! Dinner

Joe, hope you see lots of NS trains! I think it would be NS, because Wabash was one of the components of the merger into NS. There is a Chicago Cubs player from Deshler Joe. Did you know that? The announcer's at last nights base ball game didn't know where Deshler was. I knew where it was and the important freight lines through there! Oh yah, the cubs won!!!Big Smile

Well, grandma had to have a stint put in her corroted artery. Almost 100% blockage. Today I am going up there to see her. She came through really good, and the stint seemed to work!

CW, I, like Joe, am looking forward to the pizza fest tonight! Have a good day everyone!Big Smile

Good morning, it's Saturday. 69 and sunny in Carolina with NO lightning forecasted, PTL. One of my girls is outside guarding a tree and won't come in. I guess that means tree has a squirrel in it. Sooner or later, she will give it up and want in, but it'll probably be while I'm having a nap. Mooks, take care, I wouldn't want you to sprain anything.

Oh....what a beautiful morning and now slightly after lunch....but that, I haven't had yet.   Another mowing has just been completed and we have a classic / old car meet nearby at  a "retro malt / burger" shop made from a 20's era gas station.....Really neat.

So....maybe some good food from there afterwhile and a walk around to see just what might be there this time.

Possibly some rain later but not yet.

Several train horns heard from NS Frankfort line 1 mi. north of us {and close to the car meet location}, heard while mowing so we have actitivity on that line this morning even if it is Saturday....

At 6:07 p.m., we have sunny skies, and are under a severe t-storm watch until midnight.  Went to the library this afternoon, and as I entered, they were just finishing up with a Karate demonstration with little kids breaking the boards.  After that, there was a four girl band, and they sang a couple of songs.  It was to kick off the Kids summer reading program.  

Mookie, I just gave everyone a choice of what they could have for breakfast.  Even  I could not have eaten one of everything I had on the menu this morning!Wink

Our Saturday Night Pizza Fest is now under way.  You will find all the pizzas that we normally have, plus about a couple dozen Italian Sausage calzones.

Howdy

Cw thanks for the pizza.yes Justin we were in the farthest corner of Nw Ohio.Then we went to archbold and met up with our Nieces and Matts little cousins.They all got to blow the whistle on the "Erie Express".It was just a great day overall.Also in the museum I also found a unique picture of the docks in toledo or sandusky where coal was unloaded.it had an N&W coal hopper so I am guessing sandusky.I will double check on that.

stay safe

.....I'm the first in here....at this late morning hour....?  Well, not that late, but a bit surprising.  Looks to be a beautiful day shaping up here.  Off to early church in a few min.

Everyone have a good day....enjoying the season.

Good morning, all, we had a GORGEOUS day here yesterday, and today looks like more of the same- highs in the low 80's, low humidity, and our current temp is 51 degrees.  Perfect for natural air conditioning!  Off to sing in the choir for early service!

Good Sunday morning, everyone.  Quentin and Brian, it's not often that anyone beats me in here!  But, I had to go out early this morning, so didn't bother booting up the computer.  Sorry about that!

Coffee, hot water for tea, juices, lemonade, iced tea, and Gatorade are all ready for you all.  And on the warmer bar, nice fresh, hot cinnamon rolls.  

We have a current temp of 69 degrees, going for a high of 81, possibly 82 today.  Everyone have a great morning,and take care.
