OK, Mookie: you'll have an even greater time than normal!![:D][8D]

[Mookie]

CW - Mookie always has a good time! [^]

[cherokee woman]

Sounds like you're going to have a great time, Mookie!

Since it is so nice today, I've started up the grill for supper tonight.
Will be grilling hot dogs, pork chops and chicken, along with some grilled
green and red peppers.

[Mookie]

OK - I burbled on the gift shop closing at Rochelle, so must post it here, too.

Driver is driving me to Rochelle on May 20. I plan to sing the whole way just to keep him awake and of course, for his enjoyment!

Tina - we can't make the August/Sept date since our school will be back in session and he will be very busy - so we are going to go early and straighten all the chairs for the group to follow.

I am so excited - I may run home tonite and start packing and then live out of my suitcase for the next month and .50.

If the camera is still working by then, look for the lump not far from the diamond. Purrfect accomodations! Brother Carl will leave food out there for me. (no Driver won't stay there - he wants a lavish inside room!)

It looks like we are off to a rocky start for spring. First the colder than normal weather, now the storms are here. They are already predicting the next round for the next few days also. [:(]

I think Mother Nature fell off her rocker and can't seem to find it again. [:o)]

Today we had a little shower around 8 am and cloudy since.

Housework is the order of business today, helpers gladly welcome. [:o)]

[cherokee woman]

Today's lunch menu will be: BLTs w/your choice of fries or tater chips, and
garden salad. If the temp outside warms up, we'll serve lunch on the patio.

..Very nice day under way up here....Frost this morning. To get rather decent in temps today. Lots of sunshine pouring in now and a bit of wind.
Just heard a report from Indy the wind that blew off some sections off a 35 story hi rise in down town was recorded at 100 mph...{2 nights ago}.....Reports last evening was it will take several months to get building repaired. Engineering personnel to be on scene maybe yet today to evaluate damage and what it will take to put it back together. Some reports last evening going around saying it may have to be torn down...but other info was indicating it was the outside covering and not the structural part of the building that took the damage....We'll see. A wide area is blocked off to any activity because of danger from much loose material hanging down from the building. Some businesses in near by area are suffering from it all....Repair time frame may take months.

[cherokee woman]

Mookie: "reservations", huh? You planning on going to an Indian Reservation?
May I tag along? Oops, bet you're not talking that kind of "reservations." [:I][:o)]

[Mookie]

CW - I have "reservations".....

[cherokee woman]

Good morning, everyone. Looks like it's going to be a decent day here. High in the
mid 60s. But look out tomorrow and possibly Friday. We have a "Slight Risk" for
storms tomorrow into Friday.

Joe, send Matt on down. Imagine we could keep him occupied!

Mookie, what in tarnation are you hinting about? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Regular breakfast items are out on the warmer bar.

[JoeKoh]

cats on the prowl????hmmm heres some juice and coffee.cw if you need the pitter patter of kids feet I'll send matt down your way. just watch out when he gets his trucks out.
stay safe
Joe

[Mookie]

Tree - there is medicine for that you know! Save it tho - they make really nice Xmas gifts!

Some news is "afoot". I think.

Watch this space for more to come in the next few days!

(No I haven't been out "cattin'" around!)

Sheesh! Hairball!

Cake was good though.....

[cherokee woman]

Hope everyone enjoyed the burgers tonight. I've just finished making another "snack"
for everyone: oatmeal cookies. Unfortunately, I didn't have any raisins to put in them.[:(]

Here it is just after 8:30, and it's just now getting dark outside. Luckily, don't see or
hear any kids (yard apes, rugrats) outside. Their parents must all have good common
sense, and making sure they're in the house.[swg]

...Now it's bath time....Must get ready for the Pacer game...What a funk we're in with them. Don't know just what the answer will be to get us playing better. We've had a rough year and a half.....2 years ago we won 62 games and now we're just trying to make the playoffs.....

[Modelcar]

...Keep that opening for the wasps saturated Jim and I believe it will eventually get them.

[CSXrules4eva]

Glad to hear that everyone who got the worst of the latest storms is doing ok, we don't need another Katrina desaster here.

Jim, I'm going to have to back you up on what you said about cinnimon rolls, they are by far the best!! Actually, anything that has cinnimon on it is the best. hehehehe!!!

Thanks CW for those rolls last night.

[Anonymous]

Yum, cheese fries!

Ok Jim, you've guilted me...I'll get out and start working on my yard...tomorrow! It's still only in the 50's here. Tomorrow will be warmer.

But I'll go work on the laundry now. That is, once I finish my cheese fries!

Jim, definitely glad you are o.k.

Joe, thanks for the shortcakes and strawberries. Anyone who doesn't want
a slice of chocolate fudge cake can have strawberry shortcake. Heck, I might
take a small slice of the cake, and a one shortcake w/strawberries on it.

Supper tonight will be: hamburgers w/fries (also have plenty of cheese for
cheeseburgers) and if anyone wants cheese on their fries, I've got some
cheese sauce.

Hello All

Sarah, I will take them rolls anytime of the day, with a nice large (frosted) glass of milk. [:p]

So far today I have unloaded, loaded, and ran the dishwasher, loaded the clothes washer and ran it, now the clothes are in the dryer, and have mowed the front lawn. I had lunch in there somewhere. Now on tap for this afternoon: doing some pick up work in the back yard, mowing it, putting out snail/slug bait, and tending to weeds in the Hosta garden. So far only about half of my Hostas have come up. [:0] [B)] [:(] I am hopeful that in the next few days at least 3 or 4 more will come up. PLEASE. The snails/slugs are already munching on the ones that are up. [:(!] [:(!] [:(!]

I have sprayed twice for the wasps/bees that are in the paneling by the front door. They must not come out unit it is at least 75 as I really have not seen them. However there are a variety of other wasps flying around. I killed one this afternoon on the front porch, but he was not the same variety as in the paneling.

We have reached our report high for the day at 72. So it probally will make 75 since it is only about 2 pm.

Well back to the yard work. I need about 3 of me to even make a dent in all the yard and house work I need to do. [:(]

I think at one time or another - I have been through all those scenes!

Dessert for today: chocolate fudge layer cake. Have plenty of vanilla ice cream
to go on top of the cake.

Hmmm... I'll skip the lunch, just bring me some of that dessert (if Mookie left any).

[Mookie]

Kind of humbles you doesn't it!

Morning All

Sorry but I have been pretty busy and very tired lately. [:(]

The bad weather was mostly northeast of me but we did get very heavy rain and an extremely active display of lighting. Sunday I noticed that while the weather was northeast of us we had clear skies and the stars were out. About 8 pm I noticed the stars were "gone". I went in and told the guys that I thought the storm and rain was moving "in" and they said it was. [:0]

When I got off at 10 pm it was a "frog strangler" and driving was dangerous. My windshield wipers on high could not keep up. [8] [:(!] And people were passing me, them idiots.

Just about a 30 minute drive north of me they had 4 and 5 inch hail. They showed it on the news. It was simply amazing and the damage it caused was amazing also. If you ever have gotten "nailed" by marble sized hail you know it hurts, I would imagine that 4 or 5 inch hail could kill you if it hit you in the head.

Zach emailed me a link showing about 2 1/2 minutes of a tornado near him. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Well as usual I have more to do than I can every get done but I must at least start on something. [B)]

Got some good things at Produce today: cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and some
bags of southwest style hash browns.

Lunch today: boiled cabbage, corned beef, and cornbread.

Dessert for today: chocolate fudge layer cake. Have plenty of vanilla ice cream
to go on top of the cake.

...Frost on the grass here in Muncie this morning...About 33 degrees around 7. Sunshine is shining bright and I'm waiting for it to dry off so my next mowing can be done....Must do it today or it will get ahead of my {mulching}, mower...Don't want that. Sunshine and fertlizer = fast growing. But makes it nice.
Will try to take granddaughter out to the trail..{downtown Muncie}, tomorrow after she and wife tend to deals with their hair dresser today.....Must air up bike tires....We are blessed with one of the best trails in a wide area here....Ex. CSX ROW. My Bio picture was snapped at our Muncie Trail Head several years ago....
