Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[cherokee woman]

Randy, thanks for putting the coffee on. Juice is ready to go, also.

Well, we have TWO birthdays to celebrate here in the Diner today:

1. HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY to Matt Kohnen!! and
2. HAPPY TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY to Sarah (CSXrules4eva)!!

To celebrate these two special people's birthdays today, we're having
pancakes and sausage for breakfast.

There is a chocolate birthday cake for Matt, and a yellow cake with white
frosting. Both cakes have blue and green designs on them.

Got the a.c. on in here, so it should be nice and cool for everyone in here
today.

[Mookie]

Ahem: Yowl, Yowl, Yowl Yowl......

Ok - need some of Randy's coffee. How can you make something you don't drink and how do you get your motor running?

Be back in for the - ahem - Yowlfest. Headin' for the garden where it has to be a little cooler.

Morning everyone......

Wow, I haven't seen it this dead in here for quite some time, everyone must have been out getting things done before it gets hot for the weekend. Forecast here is to hit 90 come Saturday, and stay warm and humid for some time.

Seeing as apparently no one stopped in for dinner, I'll take a plate for myself and take a little bit of everything, CW. I appreciate the home cooking here in the diner.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen Sarah lately? Don't recall hearing from her in a few days. Then again, I don't recall much from the last few days.

See everyone later in the morning, and the coffee machine is running for those who need it, I don't touch the stuff myself.

[cherokee woman]

Sure hope there's going to be some people in here for supper tonight. I haven't
been cooking all afternoon for my health, you know.

Supper tonight will be: country fried steak, steak fries, mashed taters w/gravy,
green beans, whole kernal corn, and a nice tossed salad.

Dessert: apple cobbler w/ice cream.

Well, we served 72 people at Produce today. Got potatoes, sweet green peppers
and berry berry juice. That was it today.

Quentin, yes, we did watch program on the Indianana Railway. It was a very, very
good program. They mentioned and showed Munie and Seymour, along with the
line that crosses the K&I Bridge, and mentioned the Big Four Bridge. Will write more
on it later. Got to make a quick trip out to do a couple of errands, but will be back in
a couple of hours.

Lunch: got some roast beef/lettuce/tomato sandwiches and cream of tomato soup.

Also got plenty of coffee, lemonade, and iced tea.

Dessert today: strawberry shortcake.

Good Morning All

I think I missed something but that is ok, as I am not awake yet. I got busy this morning and forgot to start the coffee. I am one of those people who can get up and walk around but are not awake. I had a roommate once who took forever to wake up, but when his feet finally hit the floor he was up and running.
It takes me 3 cups of coffee to wake up.

Well Duchess has an appointment with her "doctor" this morning. She has developed a small growth just about one inch from her right eye. It doesn't seem to bother her but I am a little concerned as it seems to grow a little every day.

The ants are pesky again this year. They have sent scouts into the house in small numbers. I have been "fighting" them. I have won many small battles but the war is not over yet. They are amazing little creatures. I watched 2 or 3 of them, while I was at work last night, try to carry a small piece of a potato chip. In our ready track shack we have an apartment size icebox. Someone has spilled some small parts from the bottom of the bag on it. They carried it to the edge of the icebox and tried to start carrying it down the edge. However, it fell. But their determination and grit are really something. Some people could learn a lot from watching how hard they work.

Well I must be off.

Everyone Take Care

CW....Did you get to see the TV program on the Indiana Interurban System....and if so, what area did it show, etc....Would you comment please...

[CopCarSS]

Morning All,

Well, it seems like someone left the oven on Broil again here in Denver. Supposedly 94 today and nearing the century mark tomorrow. Sigh...watching the race at Pocono and seeing the 60* temps and "fall like weather" made me quite envious.

Oh well, guess it could be worse. My thoughts and prayers go out to Florida and everybody else along the gulf / atlantic as hurricane season gets going here. Hope the forecasters are wrong about it being another bad one...

Well, must be off to take a plan off.

TTFN

[CShaveRR]

[:(][sigh][*^_^*] Me, too.

In the interest of protecting my lone uninjured ankle, I'm staying away from this one.[:D]

[tree68]

[JoeKoh]

Mmphrrwww..... growl, hiss, spit.....

(Crepe paper for streamers, scotch tape and fur.....)

[cherokee woman]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Well, looks like it's just me in here this morning.
Guess I'll be doing the decorating for tomorrow all by my lonesome. At least, until
Joe comes in. We'll be having two celebrations tomorrow.

Coffee and juice are ready. Breakfast: BLT sandwiches. Got them fixed, and waiting
in the cooler. Please help yourself, and I'll be back after Produce.

[JoeKoh]

always interested in trains and locomotives on mondays.cw we need to get the diner ready for wed.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Looks like we've had a sloooow day in here. So, for supper, we will have
burgers and fries. Have some strawberry pie left, and if anyone is tired of
that, we also have some fresh baked/frosted chocolate cake.

Getting ready to watch Trains and Locomotives at 6 p.m. EDT. It's
supposed to be on the Indiana Railroad inter-urban system. Should be
interesting.

Chris, love your new sig. pic!!

PS - got home and let Gus out of the truck. Spent the next hour chasing after Gus who was chasing Ms. RedFox up the street at 1AM. She had no trouble outrunning Gus, but was getting annoyed that he wouldn't give up the chase and she couldn't lose him.

The picture I am imagining is just too funny!

Just what you want to do after an all day excursion through Nebraska!

Driver will figure if dog is smart enough to drive, he is smart enough to elude a running chicken and just too short of legs for the fox!

You made our day, again!

Morning All,

Sorry about the tardy entry. Think I'm going to grab a cup of coffee and try to unbury myself under the avalance of plans I found myself in. Will try to check in on lunch.

TTFN!

CW - I got my tongue over my eye teef and couldn't see what I was saying.....

Moo

Mookie, you description of Tree of Heaven, sounds like the "Bush from H*&& that is
in our vegetable bed. Stinks to high heaven, and we can't totally get rid of it. At least,
not yet. We have tried and tried, but no luck yet.

Lunch today: meat loaf sandwiches w/mashed taters, and garden salad. There will
also be some "strawferry pie" for dessert![}:)][:I]

Mornin' All

Congrats Joe, you win the top of the page award/dinner for today. [:p]

Let me guess, I bet you will choose something with french fries. [:D]

Our low temp for the night was 72, it is 77 now, and headed to 91 later in the day. Who ever invented air conditioning deserved much more than he probally got.

FRIDAY is here, yeahhhhhh. [:)] My weekend starts at 11 pm tonight. I can't wait. [B)]

Everyone Take Care

[Mookie]

Tree of Heaven is what I have always heard it called.. It is huge, it is throwing out all it's abundant garbage and on top of all that - the darn thing stinks! It is a big and beautiful tree - in another neighborhood.

Google it and it will give you a picture, description and even sez it stinks!

[xx(]

[CShaveRR]

Joe, tell Matt that we probably won't be back before next year. But he's welcome to come our way--trains and fries in abundance! In fact, there's a big building in Rochelle that's probably full of fries!

SJ, maybe it's good that you live where there are relatively few trees. What kind is giving you the problems?

They fed me some a------s at one of the restaurants in Plymouth last weekend--by that night I had the usual reaction.

Brian, by all means you should be taken out and shot!

Over and out (threshhold and door, respectively).

[locomutt]

Mook,some cuts/scars are more noticeable than others,
besides,he probably doesn't want to explain how a couple
of them came about.[:O][:-,]

[Mookie]

Brian - can't believe you even noticed a little ol' nail after a set of razors.....

Can't be me- I just got here!

Thanks for the advice, guys, I'll call my doctor and see about scheduling a shot. The hand does feel alot better this morning, though.

Good news on the horizon, Mook- warm weather returning in a couple of days, so you can fire the air back up and get some relief! Joanie suffers from the same problems, so I know what you're going through.

[JoeKoh]

wow mookie is fiesty this morning.was at work and was asked what I was picking up I replied when was your last tetnous shot? sometimes nails do stray from some pallets.matt is asking when carl and pat can come back for a visit.
stay safe
Joe

[Mookie]

OO - well, crusty has arrived!

Eyes are a little better, but still have some infection in system. No, I didn't go to the vet, but have allergy drops for eyes, saltwater for the throat, vaseline for the owie eyes, some cof syrup and a big chain saw for the neighbors stinky tree!

The tree has showered the entire neighborhood with its abundance and of course, last nite the weather was chilly, so no internal air (which helps keep the tree dander down.)

Had an exciting weekend. A cat and a chicken ate lunch together and everyone went home with all their appendages. Mudchicken protected himself, however. He put some asparagus between us which is a Mookie-Prevenative and brought along a sturdy young gentleman with a Fu Manchu mustache! He is such a cutie. His name is Gus and he is a sweet-tempered Scottie!

Mud sez Gus spends his time on the long trips by typing on the puter, resting, doing a little driving and resting some more.

I do so enjoy visits from the smartest chicken I know, even if we have to talk over a barrier of ugh - that horrible green stuff!

I missed some good eats this weekend, but going to go write a note to CW and see if maybe she will make me a chicken salad sandwich (hee hee) and some strawferry pie.

Then a nap in the - hey whose in the recliner? All I can see are shoes and .......an ankle. Maybe we shall see who yells first? [}:)]
