Good brownies, this morning, Joe. Thank you.

Lunch today: tuna salad sandwiches, tomatoes stuffed with tuna salad,
and regular saltene or whole wheat saltene crackers to go with the,
And if you'd prefer, you can have just the tuna salad on a bed of iceburg
lettuce.

Supper tonight: boiled cabbage, fried salmon patties, pinto beans,
cornbread,Ceasar salad or garden salad.

Going out to Rochelle tomorrow afternoon--I read a report that the Rochelle Railroad has extended its track southward by nearly two miles (presumably to serve the new methanol plant they're talking about).

Just for fun, I'll go to the park around 4:00 or 5:00 Central time, and wave at everyone through the Webcam.

Jay - it's from those darn virus flowers. They are a noxious weed, you know!

Hope the juice helps - and some kind thoughts.

Got whacked by a virus late last week, but am on the mend now. Still WARNING: DO NOT APPROACH THIS SCREEN. POSSIBLE VIRAL CONTAMINATION.

I'll take some juice to go.

Good morning, everyone! Breakfast this morning is going to on the light
side: oatmeal and toast. Figured with most places still quite warm, no
one will be particularly hungry for a good, hot breakfast. OH, you also have
cantalope and watermelon slices. See you after Produce time.

Mookie, here's some kitty mittons to protect your latest manicure. There's
also some extra coffee, kibbles, and no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies
for you, after you return from "Dead cows on the tracks" thread.

Well, messed up with supper: changed the lunch/supper menus, and forgot to
post the changes. Sorry about that. The menu should have read: fried chicken
drumsticks with your choice of baby lima beans or brocolli w/butter sauce.
There's plenty, so dig in.

Espeefoamer, did not mean to make you sick. But they were all listings of
[b]specials[/b for lunch and supper.

Mookie, that's right: with no bake cookies, there isn't too long a wait to start
eating the no bake cookies. They are ready, and there's a big batch for you
to take home with you, for you & Driver. Happy eating!!

Howdy Everyone,

Well, it certainly was an interesting weekend in football wasn't it? Too bad my number one team (the Pack) looked terrible, and my number two team (the Broncos) were almost as thoroughly humiliated as the Packers. Yikes! Thankfully my two Fantasy Teams seemed to have weathered the storm of Opening Weekend decently enough.

Hope you all have a great week.

TTFN!

Don't think I have ever tasted a no-bake cookie. Does this mean I won't have to wait?

Joe, thanks for giving Mookie her morning coffee! Sorry I'm late getting in here,
Mookie. How about a chocolate doughnut, from yesterday's brunch? Managed
to hide a couple of chocolate ones for you.
