Real flowers now. I suspected something else. [:o)] I guess Mutt can come of off the doghouse then. [;)] I will have to make sure he gets an extra helping in his di***onight. [:p]


Duchess takes after her "daddy" and likes Lincolns much better than Caddys. [:D]

[blhanel]

Beautiful day here today, just returned to my work desk after walking around the entire Rockwell Collins complex (close to two miles worth!); plus I bicycled in this morning. I bet I'm not keeping up with Carl, though.

[Mookie]

I am here finally. Got gum in my fur, had to use peanut butter to get it out, then had to get bread for the peanut butter and had to scrounge for the jelly, which lead to bacon and eggs and.....well, you get the picture!

Mutt - [:I] And they won't wilt, either.....thank you!

Brian - you look "supishiously" like the driver - no grass on a busy street and a cookie duster.

Now everyone will know how handsome the Driver is! Eat your hearts out!

Actually, a baseball cap would complete the picture. You don't realize he has a busy street until he takes his hat off! [^]

Tree - talked to a lady here on campus that just celebrated her cat's birthday yesterday - Miss Kirby - she is 19! Said she got a couple of gifts and cards!

Jim - Duchess should have some extra lovin'.....maybe a short rest in the big bed? Little dinner from the table? A condo in the yard? Cadillac in the drive?

CW - will push our lunch tray out to porch. I think I see the sun!

^~^

[cherokee woman]

Brian, that's a good picture of you in your home office!

Joe, you are so right: did get potatoes, onions and carrots at Produce this
morning, and the beef vegetable soup is on the stove, cooking. But, since I
just got it going, it'll be for supper tonight, along with cornbread.

For lunch, we'll have tuna salad sandwiches with your choice of fries or tater
chips.

Jim, guess Mookie's too busy in the office today, since I haven't seen her around
at all this morning. But I'll be sure to keep some lunch set aside for her. BTW
Jim, Mutt DID leave her a real bouquet of flowers: a real nice spring time arrange-
ment.

Thanks for removing the one car. The train still looks good and we don't have to scroll around the forum now. Many thanks.

Mutt

Bad Dog, Bad Dog. I bet a certain Kitty will suggest you be put in the dog house.

And speaking of dog house, poor Duchess was out on her yard leash while ago and a quick little shower started. She doesn't have a dog house unless you count the real house. [;)] She does not like to get wet either. [B)] I got her inside just a minute after it started but she had that, "I don't know what to do" look on her face when I went out to get her.

And speaking of rain, the official total for Saturday was 4.43 inches of rain in a 24 hour period. But actually it didn't start raining until half the day had passed so it was more like 4.43 inches of rain in a 12 hour period. My steel toed shoes (I have 3 pair of them) are still drying out from that day. [:0] Both NLR and Little Rock set record rainfall amounts for the day.

Well Duchess wants me to spend some time with her so I guess I will. [;)]

Everyone Take Care

That's a pencil lithograph, one of three by an artist that I can't remember the name of now, that I have in my home office. It's a beautiful portrayal of the Rock Island passenger train. The other two I have are steam-era works. I still need to get the third one hung up on the wall. I had my Dad matt and frame them for me.

[JoeKoh]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Well, it's raining here in Louisville. About 45
minutes ago, we were getting thunder and lightning. Seems to have passed on to
another area (at least for the time being).

Breakfast is laid out on the warmer bar. I've had people ringing the doorbell for 1/2
hour now, to sign up for Produce today. Just glad I woke up early this morning, and
managed to stay awake and get up out of bed!!

Everyone have a good morning, stay as dry as possible, and I'll be back after I get
through with Produce.

Thanks for the "flowers";I left you a "bouquet" in the hammock !! [swg]

The Rain did not stay Mainly in the Plains,it made it to the Ohio Valley also.[:(]
Sort of put a "Damper" on train watching for us.[(-D]

[cherokee woman]

Supper tonight: it's kind of on the "light" side. Manwiches w/fries, or chips.
Think we'll also have some garden salad, and/or broccoli with them.

Joe, I've made up three for your supper tonight. The buns and the manwich are
separated in the container (thought you might want to warm up the buns sepa-
rately from the manwich so the buns don't get too crusty hard). And Joe, tell
Mama I'll appreciate her help in decorating the cake for Dave and Debbie!! I can
frost/ice a cake, but not too good on decorating and writing on a cake.

I'm in time for lunch, so maybe CW will make me a club sandwich for lunch? If I say Please very nicely?

Guess I'd better get started on baking a white cake w/white frosting, and
decorate it for our newlyweds!! Who's good at cake decorating around
here?!?!

Lunch today: leftover pork roast, mashed taters w/gravy, and beans, corn,
and garden salad.

Got two pots of chilli going on the stove for supper tonight: one, mild, and
the other medium hot.

Wonder there Ms. Moo is this morning. Have anyone seen her?

[Modelcar]

...Want to say good morning to diner customers and {guess I missed the word}, to Kossie: Congratulations to new marriage...All our best wishes. I've been deep in conversation re: South Penn RR of 120 years ago across Pennsylvania on another post recently. A subject of my interest.

I have been thinking about adding a "Party Room" on to the diner. I guess now is a good time to get it going. I will make some calls and get a construction crew out here right a way. I would think a room seating 100 would be large enought for our party room. What do you all think?

And Kozzie, bride, family, and friends can be the first to use it. NO CHARGE. [:D]

Now off I go.

Was just watching the Weather Channel- congrats Jim, North Little Rock was tops on the list for rainfall totals over the last 24 hours. Something like 4-1/2 inches, if I remember right. Our predicted monsoon didn't materialize- just 3/4 an inch here.

Thanks for posting that. I have missed the local news every time it was on so I didn't hear an official total. Those I have asked all had a different amount but none of them official either. I just know it was about the heaviest rainfall I have seen in a short time. Train-wise Saturday night was slower than normal so that was good, but those that did come in seemed to make it in right during the heavy rainfall times. [:(!] [:(] [V]

Well today is my Friday and looking forward to getting it over. [:p] By the time my Friday rolls around I am sooo tired. [:(]

Well I heard some shocking news just yesterday. I was talking to the man who owns the rent house just 2 houses down from me. He evicted the tennant for not paying rent and was trying to clean the place up. During our conversation he told me he had found out the lady who rented the house had a boyfriend staying with her. Turns out the boyfriend was wanted for MURDER. [:0] [:0] [:0] So it is a GOOD thing to get rid of them. [;)]

It is sunny now and going up to 85 they say. We have 30% chance of rain today with 40% tonight. Right now, I could pass on the rain. [^]

For those in or near Kansas the 844 will be in Topeka early this afternoon, but only for 15 minutes. Then they continue on to Herington and it will be on display in Herington on Tuesday from 8 to 5.

Everyone Take Care

Dan, thank you for putting the coffee on! Love it when someone beats me
into the Diner, and starts the coffee: it's so good walking into the door and
smelling coffee brewing!! Also, thanks for the homemade doughnuts!!

It's good to hear from you, Dave, glad to have you back with us.
