Woo Wee..........................did some parts of the Philadelphia area get some rain!!!!!! I was at work when it started to pour on the other side of the river (Schukill [spelling]), in West Conshohocken and Bridgeport, PA. I got a little bit of rain so far at my house here which is 15 mins from West Conshy. I think it's going to down pour soon because, it's really dark outside and I can smell the O3 and N in the air. HECK I WANT SOME THUNDERSTORMS AND FLASH FLOODS!!!!!!!!!! So I can watch the creeks over by my area overflow.

CW I think I'll have some din din now, thank for preparing the liver and onions. I needed a big meal like that after a hard day's work. I was haveing great trouble trying to stay awake on the job today but, I got through it.

Carl wedding tomorrow [:D] I'm pretty sure eveyone is a bit nervous. Well if I don't talk to you before then give Linda and Chris my best.

Quintin, the only difference between a pie and a cobbler is the amount
of crust. Just as good either way; but I have baked a few cherry pies
as well. So eat up!!

chop abracadbra, baked potatoes, and garden salad. There will also be
cherry and peach cobblers for dessert, along with ice cream.

Mookie, I'm surprised you didn't sniff out and locate the cobblers and meatloaf!
It's beginning to warm up here this morning. Temp's already inching up to
the mid 70s, and foggy.


Oh, it all sounds good to me. And I made it in earlier this morning so there is no chance I would miss out on breakfast!

Tree........Oh so typical of the little Dachshund....! Doing just what he wants to do especially regarding food. We had 2 miniature doxies over a period of 33 years...one lived to be 16 and the other 17...Pretty long life for them. Didn't matter how big the opponent was that didn't stop them. One day we heard a commotion out front and upon seeing what was going on....One of our little ones..{Ditto}, was standing in the street facing the stopped school bus barking as to indicate it wasn't allowed any further on our street, etc.....Bus driver was stopped blowing the horn but Ditto wasn't fazed by that....

We were supposed to get scattered thunder storms here in Boonsboro according to Yahoo! We might have gotten rain for about, I don't know, five minutes. We are approaching 95 degrees here, and with it being as humid as it is, it feels more like 105. It is horrible. I wish someone would send some REAL rain this way.
