Did my first summer camp at Ft.Meade. Got to love the old? military saying,"hurry up and wait" I actually was in the W.Va.nat guard that first year,and John Denver's "Take me home country roads" was the favorite on the "juke box" we darn near wore it out during those two weeks![:)]

Lights on - no one here but me....Jukebox still playing, quietly. Fixed it with hits from the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's. Think I will just sit here and wait for the crowd. Just me and Johnny Mathis....

biblical reference.) [angel]

I believe Pete Seeger wrote the song. The version most people are familiar with was done by the Byrds. I have a Seeger album with that song on it. Based on the Bible's Book of Ecclesiastes, it was also recorded by Judy Collins in the early 60's. The folk and rock renditions are quite different.

[cherokee woman]

Coming right up Joe. How do you want your eggs? Hash browns sound good with
some sausage and biscuits.

Going to the grocery in a little bit and get the fixings for beef burritos enchilada style!!

How many people do I need to fix for? [angel]

I'm having a PULLMAN breakfast this morning. The ham and eggs combination platter. Horseshoe cut of grilled ham, 2 eggs over easy, and hashbrowned potatoes. And it's being served on PULLMAN china.

Need to make quiche again for lunch - that is soooo good. Ham and cheese, bacon and cheese, even spinach and onion for our veggie friends!

Mook

[Mookie]

Hello....helllo....hello....

Wow! There is an echo in here! Everyone sleep in?

[cherokee woman]

No, Mookie; I'm here getting ready to make the beef burritos! Still waiting for a total
number of who all wants some burritos. [angel]

[tree68]

Put me down for two.... (and some Pepto on the side...)

Didn't even get a chance for a coffee break this morning. Sheesh! Never mind that I don't drink coffee. Still want the break!

[Mookie]

Someone shook the Tree! Pass on the burritos - not my favorite food. But then, I eat food out of a small can, so what do I know!

Tree, how will you leaf if you don't drink at least one cup of coffee. (be sure you put.........cream in it!)

[espeefoamer]

I'm not really a fan of burritos,but I'll have an order of enchiladas,one cheese and one beef,please![dinner]!

How about both? CW did a good job on making the beef burritos enchilada style:
not quite like Tumbleweed's, but very passable. But the burritos come with
cheese anyway, along with the beef. Or you can get them with beans, no meat.
Don't care for those. But you better pass out the gas masks with the bean
burritos. [:D]

[cherokee woman]

Oh oh: someone left the juke box on, playing "Locomotion" all night? Good tune.

Now, coffee is on, bacon, sausage are frying, eggs ready to fix according to order.
Cantaloupe and watermelon are cubed, ready and waiting to be eaten. Since I'm
fixing breakfast, Ed, will you clean up?

As one goes through life, there are those foods you never want to try (but eventually do and find out the aren't so bad), and those foods you try and vow never to touch again. for me that's olives, cooked spinach, beets, and coffee.

On the other hand, despite my English forebears, I prefer sugar in my tea...

[Modelcar]

...And Jen, if it's English you must fill the cup half way with cream too....

[Mookie]

I know I am supposed to like cream, but it just isn't my thing. I like coffee black, but the way they mutilate....er.....make it most places, I need a dash of cream to kill the burnt taste.

Visited Wisconsin one time - lovely state - but it was real cream and real butter on and in everything. And everything was full breakfast, rolls and coffee at 10, big dinner, rolls and coffee at 2 and big supper! Rolls and milk before bed. Delicious, but if I would have stayed more than a few days, would have had to roll home!

Puter Pouting this morning - came in at usual 5:45 - puter dead! Took nap, had coffee, read a little on my John Grisham book - finally puter appeared at 8 am when the rest of the world stirred. Hate that!

I owe, I owe, so off to work I go....

Larry,
There's nothing wrong with the fact you put sugar in your tea. When I drink tea,I have to have sugar in it. Now coffee,on the other hand,has to be black!
And I'm with you on not liking spinach(Popeye I'm not) but the rest sounds good.[:)]

Try putting garlic salt in the beans: not so much singing going on!! And not as
much "smell" in the air!![}:)][:p]

Mookie, when I worked at the bank, and when I worked for the Alsac (fundraising
for St. Jude's Children's Hospital), I hated it when the computers went down! Half
the time, I didn't have a book with me I could read: sat twiddling my thumbs.[angel]

[Mookie]

I never leave home w/o a book. I have been "caught" too many times with too much time. Read only paperbacks, so they are toteable.

I always carry a book with me to read during lunch or waiting at the library for a computer to open up.I am currently reading through the Cat Who... series,but not in order,as the books aren't numbered.How can one tell which order the books were written in?

Always go by the publishers date. You can put them in order that way. This series isn't too bad about order, the main characters do follow a kind of a story line, but if you read out of order, it isn't going to spoil the series. But she will introduce a character in one book and they will be back in a following book - so order is nice.

Have you seen the diet he has those cats on!!!!! To die for!!!!!! (probably very close to reality!)
