Yeah Mookie. But the NJ groundhog, Jersey Joe, Jr., did NOT see
his shadow this morning (was also on GMA this a.m.); his owner
said that he has been correct more times the Philly Phil. But our
local meterologist says things are looking that we will have an
early spring. Hope so. (Want to move to Lou., KY?)

Good morning all. For breakfast this morning, we'll have oatmeal and
toast (reg. buttered toast and cinnamon toast),

Lunch will be: sandwiches: bologna, ham, turkey, liver loaf, hamburgers,
and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Got some more hamburger yesterday, and will make another meatloaf
for supper. Think we'll have corn on the cob with it, or mixed veggies:
which would everyone prefer?

Whether Pux. Phil sees his shadow this morning or not, spring still won't
officially be here until six weeks from now. And you know he'll see
his shadow, will all the lights set up for the cameras, anyway!

Of course cats can polka - and sing pretty well, too!

Took a noisy neighbors pill last nite before 8:30. (Benedryl) 8:30.5 was asleep. Heard them still moving in around 12 and 2:30, but flat out didn't care. They have a 3 year old girl that seems to stay up and shriek until 2:30 each night. Gave the driver 1/2 a pill and earplugs and he could barely get up this morning - he sleeps lighter than I do and heard nada...

I can't believe people move that much stuff. I have learned over the years to put all my possessions in a paper sack at the back door when I move. Then on the way out, throw the paper sack in the garbage. Travel light, Citizen Mookie!

Hey! We could do the "I'm Stompin' Grapes for Beer" Polka!

Tree - I think they are just inconsiderate....they could move in without having conversations at the top of their lungs, and dropping all the boxes from shoulder heights.

They don't move out any better, either!

Mook - Knowing how things usually go when you have a plan - they might have figured to be done much earlier, but didn't finish packing until much later and had to be at work in the morning....

On the other hand, they could just be inconsiderate. I'm sure some of us would be willing to come over and join you for the nightly polka parties...[}:)][:-^]

Morning everyone! Just now getting in here. Can't seem to get moving
this morning. Breakfast will be on the light side today: oatmeal and toast,
with grape jelly or strawberry jam. Maybe some turkey bacon also.

Lunch will be sandwiches: hamburgers, grilled cheese, peanut butter/jelly,
and hotdogs and fries. (Fries are especially for Matt). Also have soup, if
you want soup with your sandwich. There's also some meatloaf and green
beans leftover for lunch.

Supper will be: choices of liver and onions, chicken livers, spaghetti and
meatsauce, with LOTS of MEAT.

O.....................................makes you want to yawn doesn't it!

Me too!

Went to bed at usual 8:30pm - neighbors started moving in about 10:30 am - finally won the war and had me up for good at 1:26 am. Had to get a little sharp with the Driver - he had blood in his eye when he came down at 2:00 am and was going to help them move in a little faster. Or maybe move back out.

Will wait to see if they settle down and stop the usual noise by 9-10 pm or if I have to go over and sweetly let them in on the rules of the house - you interrupt my sleep with unnecessary noise and I will be forced to show you what unnecessary noise really is at 3:45 a.m.

Then go back home and wait for the results. Some people are very nice and don't realize how noise carries in their 800 sq feet with tissue paper between the apts. Some people don't care. They also don't live next to us anymore.

Does everyone start moving at 10 pm and all during the night? Sure seems that way!

The 'sammich' sounds great,but please hold the milk ,water or

up a bit before I do anything else.

Morning all. Just woke up at 7:45. Breakfast will be: oatmeal, toast,
biscuits and sausage sandwiches.

Lunch: grilled cheese/bacon sandwiches, hamburgers.

Supper: meatloaf, mashed potatoesw/gravy, green beans.

Saw some pictures in this morning's paper of the Greenberg
Train Show from the weekend. Really nice pics, but they could
have added a couple more pics (at least); only had about three
pictures.
