Well, let's see now.  Maybe we can coax Mookie to stop

work, and rest a bit, with today's menu:

 

beef stew, cornbread, and chocolate cake.

Ah yes, at midnight it was 40 degrees with a dewpoint of 40 degrees, now it is 57 degrees with a dewpoint of 55 degrees. We're on our way to a possible record high this afternoon before, as Brian said, the bottom falls out of it. And there was also thunder and lightning last night along with a quarter inch of rain. Crazy Nebraska weather!

Busy day at the higher learning institution, eh?

It's a very wet morning around here, rained all night and more is on the way.  I currently show 55 degrees on the local temp- tomorrow the bottom falls out of it.

Good morning, folks. Right now it's raining here in Sioux Falls, and we have a temperature of 37 degrees.........at least it's above freezing. I'm getting ready for another day of bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and Hopefully I will not slip and slide all over the place while walking to work this morning. Yesterday morning we had a thin layer of ice covering everything out there, and our local police department responded to 47 auto accidents because of it.

Yesterday my supervisor with the Salvation Army told me that I had taken in fourteen-hundred dollars in donations at my kettle on Saturday, 11/25, and I feel pretty good about that. I like to think that I am helping to make a difference in the lives of a lot of people who are a lot less fortunate than I am.

I hope the rest of the forum members out there will have a good day!

Good Tuesday morning, everyone!  Right now, here in Louisville,
we are in the mid 40s, and we are to have a high today in the
70s. But scattered rain is due sometime tonight.

Coffee is ready, along with fresh orange juice, hot chocolate,
and hot tea.

Breakfast is on the warmer bar:  turkey bacon, sausage,
scrambled eggs, biscuits and sausage gravy. 

Everyone have a great day, and I'll be back in after I get
through with the Tuesday Produce.

I've lived through blizzards.  I've lived through earthquakes.  But I don't think that I even need the experience of trying to live through an tornado.  Nor am I particularly interested in experiencing a hurricane, a tsunami, a cyclone, a volcanic eruption, or even a major mudslide.  I lead a boring life, and I would just as soon keep it that way.

Brian - No tornadoes any time soon, but when they do happen, I can try my hardest to keep them away from buildings and people. Probably won't do a lot of good, but it's worth a try. And Mudchicken, I never put the weather machine back together right. I just mix and match the parts so the weather is as crazy as I can make it!

Just remember to put the weather machine back together the same way you found it. No extra parts, screws, nuts, bolts, washers etc. left over please....

I'm going to be doing lots of playing with the weather over the next few days. Today there is fog and a high of 35 degrees. Tonight, rain and thunderstorms with temps rising to near 50 by morning. Tuesday, partly cloudy and a high in the mid 60s. Wednesday cloudy with furries and a high of 30 and Thursday a high in the mid 20s. Weather is always such fun in Nebraska!

I'm sure Mookie will report in, after she gets through a
mountain of paperwork that accumulated on her desk.  Mean-
while, we'll save her some lunch, for when she does make
it in here.  And speaking of lunch, here's the menu for
today:

tomato soup, vegetable soup, and PB&J, grilled cheese, and
tuna salad sandwiches are now ready.

Does anyone have and requests for supper tonight?  If so,
please let me know by 1, so I can start preparing for the
takeout orders, for the ones wanting to take some din-din/
supper home, or if you're on third shift, to take with you
to work.

Very extensive layout - all in Legos.....  Many "mini-scenes."  I've got a couple of other pictures of it.  There were several "guest" layouts at the museum, all excellent.  Come to think of it - I'm not sure I saw them all...  We got there a little later than planned, and the 'outside' stuff closed at 4:30.  Still, it was nice to visit again.

It's that cold up that way?  WOW.  We've got 57 degrees here, with a forecast of thunderstorms for tonight.  The weather map on TV showed a cold front up that way, but they said it was actually receding until Wednesday, then look out!  I wouldn't be surprised if you got warmer than 31 today.

I am getting ready for another day of bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and this gives me a reason and a purpose for getting out of bed in the morning........I feel that I am needed and I also feel that I am helping to make a difference in the lives of a lot of people who are a lot less fortunate than I am.

I think I will stop in at the Diner on my way to work this morning and fill my thermos bottle with hot chocolate. I hope everyone out there has a good  day!

Good Monday morning, everyone!  I know there are a few of
you, who would rather not come back to work today, after
such a "long" time off work. 

Coffee is ready, juice is made (have regular o.j., and
orange/tangerine), hot chocolate, hot cocoa, and hot tea
are available also.

Breakfast this morning:  bacon, sausage, sausage gravy,
biscuits, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and we also have
some blueberry and apple cinnamon muffins.

Larry, sounds like you had a fantastic weekend, in Maryland.


Everyone have a great day!!

Pheww!  What a weekend - drove over around 800 miles on a round trip to Maryland.  Did get to enjoy some beautiful weather on the shore of Chesapeake Bay, not to mention Thanksgiving dinner with Son, DIL, and their 4 dogs (up from three when I was dog sitting).  The new guy ("Truman") is a cutie!

I did do some trainwatching on Saturday. I though Ms Mook would be interested in these:

I spotted them in the rotunda of the B&O Museum in Baltimore....

Thank you for all of the work you do to keep the diner open, CW.  I'll take the meat loaf with all the fixin's.

It was a dreary day today with rain on and off.  I didn't get wet when I went out for my walk though - I guess my timing was just about right.
