Oh heck: why not just find all the train related videos we can, sit in the diner/
coffee shop, drink coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and eat popcorn and watch all
the train videos? We'll all stay nice and warm in the diner.[}:)]

Movies like Hobo's Christmas, and On the Right Track. That sounds good
to me!!

Why the Carribean? It's summer in New Zeland now, AND they have trains[:D]!

Joe, on this COLD morning, anything HOT sounds
good. So along with Matt's Fruit Loops, how about some biscuits, sausage,
sausage gravy, and a big skillet of fried potatoes sound? Also have oatmeal
and toast.

Sunday Dinner is a classic: roast beef, gravy, potatoes, carrots and onions,
cole slaw,and shellie beans. I also made up a BIG batch (actually several)
of Christmas cookies with everyone's names on them. That will be dessert.

Some of that bacon might be good on the pea soup for lunch, I'll stop back. Gotta go get the tree today before work.

Good morning, everyone. Well, just one week to go before we celebrate
Jesus' birth!

Breakfast will be: turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage patties,
biscuits and gravy, grits, cream of wheat, oatmeal and toast. Sorry,
no more Wheaties: Larry must have eaten them all. Yeah, Larry,
the stew is still good. Made another small batch, so you won't get
sick eating it.

Think there will be chili, potato soup, split pea soup, and tomato
soup in the pots today for anyone coming in for a warmup from
shopping, or whatever.

Everyone have a good day, and PLEASE stay safe.

Hmmm. Up late working on a Christmas project. What's in the cooler? Pizza. Meatloaf. Luncheon meat. Is that stew still safe to eat? Here's some milk. Think I'll forego the Cheerios for some Wheaties.

Found an inkjet calendar kit at the office supply store. Really neat. Use your own pictures, create a personalized calendar. There's even a website to help you put it together. Stopped and picked up a couple more tonight, too. One done, one to go (for another gift), and one for a personal project. Tomorrow. Time for bed, now that the cereal bowl is empty.

Watch it Jay[:0] I happen to know of plenty of people who are not Kentuckians
who love bourbon balls also. I may be from Kentucky, but other than the
bourbon balls, I've NEVER had bourbon in my life.

Now, where are the pizzas for supper?

Hey - new product for my model RR. I gave both kids the chance to have their "own" industry. Both were still home at the time. My daughter chose a miniatures and collectibles shop. My son even named his: Skunk Hill Sour Mash...

BRING ON THE BOURBON BALLS!! Haven't had any for a

with at the bank made GREAT ones!!

I heard the F/A-22 Raptor is can move in ways that others would stall before they could try the same thing.

Canada already plans on purchasing at least 1 carrier in our bid to try to me more independant and a more helpful ally.

Only problem with the F16 is that it's only half an airplane, according to my son, who worked on F15s that were probably as old as him.... (The F15 is a twin engine airplane, the F16 only has one)[4:-)]

Mookie, thank you for making the coffee. Breakfast is on the way:

oatmeal and toast, turkey bacon and eggs. We'll start going
lite on the breakfasts until after the holidays.

Lunch/dinner will be sandwiches: hamburgers, hotdogs, sloppy
joes, barbecue, tuna, fish filet sandwiches.

Supper will be: leftover meat loaf on open faced sandwich with
mashed potatoes and gravy.
