Man..... all this talk of Apple Citer makes me want MORE!!! and I only have 1 gal left. That won't last me more than one day and a half. I want some MORE, but I don't feel like taking a drive to Bucks County to get some, maybe I'll just take the train on holloween with my costume on and get some. Yes that sounds good. It's a tradition of mine to ride the train (Septa) with my costume on every year, it's fun! I get so many comments, I've also sacred some people too.

Larry, if you would could you send some of that Burrville Apple Citer from NY, that is one state in which I have not tasted their apple citer. Plus the more the merrier.

CW spagetti sounds great!! I think I'll take some and this time I don't have to ask for a side of garlic bread. lol.

It is still raining Niagra Falls here in PA, we're suposed to be in a flood waring until tomorrow, but I didn't see any flooding. I think we got giped. We did have quite a few accidents on the roads today, though. Well, I'm glad it's clearing up because I have to go back to school tomorrow :( I don't feel like going back but, I only have two more semesters then it's degree time!! So, I guess I have to go back.

Well, the spaghetti, garlic toast and salad really hit the spot tonight. Hope
everyone in the diner enjoyed supper tonight.

And if anyone is interested, I'm in the process of popping a huge pot of
popcorn for the evening. So get yourself any of the following to drink with
your popcorn: soda, coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate and belly up to the
counter, table or booth. (But if anyone drops any popcorn on the floor,
or throws any popcorn, you get to clean it up yourselves. ) I don't think
any of us wants an unhappy Mookie in here in the morning. So let's all
keep it clean in here tonight, PLEASE and THANK YOU!!

I know from experience that warm popcorn and cold cider makes for a nice comfort-food session. I'm in!

Sarah, it sounds like even if you don't eat too many apples, you're drinking them down! Good luck with school tomorrow.

(My own goal: eat enough apples to keep everyone in the medical center away!)

mmmm peace and quiet....

Must decorate for Halloween.....let's see, got picture of witch (her name will remain a secret!), "punkins", jack-o-what's his name, bats - ack - they are real, (eatin' the left over popcorn) (took mice and put little wingies on them) and a big banner that will proclaim the holiday. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Well, looks pretty good - there's something here that just doesn't seem to be right, but I can't put a paw on it.

Gotta take a @ and maybe it will come to me.....

Mookie, loving what you've done decorating in here, so far. I'm also
trying to figure out what is missing. (Other than our beloved owner).

Breakfast this morning is sure to warm your innards this morning:
nice, hot oatmeal w/toast, also have some cream of wheat, along with
the standard turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and biscuits &
gravy.

Lunch today: vegetable beef soup with sandwiches: pb&j, tuna, grilled
cheese, burger, hot dog, etc

....Speaking of pumpkins and stuff....There is frost on it here in Muncie area this morning.....Frost and most likely freezing. Our therm. indicated about 32 degrees and yard is covered with frost. This is about the first for a real convincing one. But sunshine is breaking out around some light clouds. Should be a real nice late Oct. day.....

Cold air jumping over southern Wisconsin and heading directly for Indiana? Go figure. Next thing will be hurricanes forming over Lake Michigan.

Arthur says we got below freezing a couple of days ago (the white field across the street corroborated him).

Arthur?

Arthur Mometer, of course.

Mook, was putting little wingy-thingies on the mice something like putting frosting on the cake for you? I'm surprised they held still for that.

Think I know what's wrong, but I'm not sure--my new year began a week or so ago.

BC - we had the nation's low last nite at Broken Bow NE - 18 degrees.

I really would rather have us known for something else - like the best chocolate cake or the nation's nicest place to live.....Well, maybe it is up there - it's in the sandhills area....

Anyway - had to use a lot of "pawsitive" reinforcement on those mice - and I still haven't figured out the problem. Maybe needs more decorations? Maybe CW needs to put out more candy - that's it....chocolate candy!

Mookie I agree with you 110 percent!! I think CW really and I mean really needs to roll out some chocolate candy!! I need some of that. One warrning though, if Kit Kats are going out I will most likely end up diving into the bowl and eating a great deal of those, Kit Kats.

Carl, your right what many apples (and I love apples) I don't eat I surely do make up for it when apple citer is around. Oh and by the way, that gallon of apple citer I had left over. It's gone now, so I drank it in less than 24 hours. I need to get some more.

Well, it was my first day back at school, ................the start of a new semester......oh great more homework and projects to do. It was also very windy here in PA, man I wonder how that happened over night. lol

Jay,

Only managed 4 years of JROTC in High School, but if I'm guessing that correctly, I would guess Commander in Chief of Scoundrel Command? Am I on the right track in a railroad forum?

Mookie and Sarah (and anyone else interested in chocolate), there is plenty
of chocolate around here. I make sure to I keep plenty of chocolate here in the
Diner/Coffee Shop. There's Snickers, Kit Kats, Three Muskateers, Milky Ways,
Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey Bars, Hershey Almond Bars, York Peppermints,
Tootsie Rolls, etc. are always kept on hand.

Supper tonight: country fried steak w/biscuits & gravy, fried taters (and yes, Joe,
plenty of fries for Matt always available), green beans, corn, and lima beans.
There will also be fried chicken livers (no, I did NOT do away with Mudchicken:
as far as I know, he's still very much alive and well!!)

Also baking oatmeal cookies, so I think we're well covered in the dessert
department.

My favorite chocolate candy is the M&Ms with almonds. I've run the Elmhurst White Hen out of them on several occasions.

Kit-Kats are good, though--and nothing wrong with dumping a handful of chocolate chips into that oatmeal cookie dough!

Carl, if I'd had chocolate chips, they'd be in the cookie dough!!

And hey, everybody, the country-fried steak is ready, and so are the
chicken livers. We ate our chicken livers here at home tonight, and
boy, were they goooood!![dinner][dinner]

Evening all
Sarah, watch out! Too much cider and you''ll end up with the "apple screamers". I love cider, but about two glasses and I might as well grab some magazines and my glasses and "set up shop" [(-D]

Chris, will contact you offline about our photo excursion. If Jay and Carl want to join in the 4 dr tour bus has plenty of room. That would certainly be an excursion.

Mook, I thought your fur coat would keep you warm. And I agree, bring on the Kit-Kats!!

CW- Bring on the CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How's Mutt's teef doing?

Willy, Mutt's uppers are fine and dandy: it's not having any lowers that's
the problem. That's why we had chicken livers tonight; so he had some-
thing he could chew softly. (Or gum to death, as he put it)[}:)]
