Bedtime now--I'll try again tomorrow after work, Willy. Or maybe, just maybe, the Mookie will forward them--she got hers!
Take care, and do well in school.

Jay - Very nice shots!
Carl - I don't see them in the inbox, try sending them again. As much as I would like to take it easy, I think I'm going to have to go back to school tomorrow. It takes a whole lot of effort to make up just a day or two of missed work.

Rain should stay away for a round trip tomorrow.

Maybe the snakes should have come and joined us at Camp Mookie! Of course, if the snakes had come along, I would not have shown up because snakes terrify me.

Hope you feel better soon!!Now, are there any requests for supper tonight?!?!?!Message From:The Cook
I know I'm a little late for lunch, but if there is any tomato soup and fixings for grilled cheese leftover, I will have that this evening.
The doctor says I have a severe sinus infection so he prescribed three weeks worth of antibiotics for me. I think I'll be feeling better pretty quickly, though.
Wow, MC, that reminds me of a Schnauzer that my aunt used to have. Doesn't matter what type of rodent happened to bein the house as a pet at the time (hamsters, gerbils, rats, etc.) she would attack the cage like a Cat D9! Gotta love ratting terriers!
Now my Chihuahua (that my mom stole from me) is the exact opposite. He is absolutely scared to death of my sister's rats. Then again, some of them are almost as big as he is!

CW & Chris - I have towels all over the place. I can now lay on one and cover up with the other! MMM - feels good!
Willy - maybe growing pains? Possibly another ENT problem? And when I sent that particular mouse to the great cheese wheel in the sky - I had two cats - indoor/outdoor ones. They used to bring me gifts of live mice! Bless their little pointed heads! They were well fed and just wanted more toys! GAH!
Tuna Salad and Tomato soup - it is a little chilly yet. (gonna have a red moo-stash!)
Well, I'm sick this morning and staying home from school. I will be off to see the doctor later this morning and see what I've got this time.
It was certainly frosty here, this morning. It looks like most of the flowers in the garden have finally met their end.
No mice problems here, Mookie. Chessie and Tehachapi keep them well under control.
Anyway, I hope everyone has good day today!
Morning All,
Well we've finally had a good couple of nice hard freezes. Thankfully my allergies are finally starting to settle down a bit. I might be feeling a bit frisky, too, but I think I'll refrain from jumping into the pile of leaves behind the DD&CS. There's a kitten in there right now, and she looks a bit miffed (and wet!). Mooks, I set a big fluffy towel that just came out of the dryer out on the porch with a big cup of coffee and some chocolate cake.
Carl, I'm sure we'll be in touch about the Nov. trip. Meanwhile, I've also got the Dec/Jan trip planned out as well. I'll be back again from Dec. 21st to Jan 3rd. We'll have to see if we can get together then, too. I might be hanging out at Eola whenever I have a free minute on these trips, so if anyone else back that way sees me, be sure and stop to say "Howdy!"
Well, I must be on my way. Hope you all have a great day!
TTFN! Ta Ta For now!

Take this along - you'll have a leg up on the narrator once you get to Otter Lake.
Saturday is pretty well out for me - but not completely. Depends on what the family decides in terms of riding the train vs other plans for the day. Sunday has been the goal, though.
If I am there, I won't be in "uniform," but may well have my railroad radio on my hip. At 6'5", I'll be hard to miss. Might be hard to hook up, though, as the Otter Lake train gets back just in time for the Utica train to leave. (You might check with the ticket office to see if I'm in the area.) In fact, we usually cancel our Form D from the train (vs the phone at the station) so the Utica train can get their paper.
Enjoy your trip! With 300+ on the train, you'll undoubted have both F's, plus the Geep.

Frosty here this morning.
All ankles are fair game right now. Allergy season is drawing to a close, so I am feeling pretty frisky!
Going to take coffee and go out back where there is a pile of leaves to play in..................................
