On the plus side, I haven't seen a lot of the folks that will be there in a long time, so it should be a riot. And I've never seen a couple of my grand nephews...

Gotta get ready for the reunion, so lunch for me today will be PBJ on rye, with a side of chips and some cookies....


Lotsa branches, eh Tree?

Just my usual cold cereal, thanks!

Lots on my menu today...the lawn, the payday errands, and a train ride into town for the concert (a walk of nearly a mile each way between train and play'n').
Just can't face the forum w/o my one cup of joe...and if you are going to have coffee, you should have something to dunk in it.....shouldn't you.?....and blueberries are always in season....especially in a bagel....logic, logic, logic!

I want to go on a train ride! [:(!]

Make my lunch a bologna & cheese on whole wheat bread with Miracle Whip salad
dressing on it. And some oatmeal cookies and vanilla ice cream for dessert, please.

This all happened after I went back to sleep after wakeing up at my usual time, about quarter to 7:00. I really got to stop sleeping in............

Noah,

Go ahead and sleep in. Go back to going to bed early, and getting up early about a
week before you go back to school.

Rainy here - off to Greenbrier County, but saw nothing moving on the rr, although New River is WAY up because of heavy rains; clouds were so low they were touching the tops of the hills - of course, I didn't have a camera. BTW tonight's dinner menu features chicken, biscuits, fresh corn and iced tea - bring dessert and we'll move the dogs over and make room for you. Have a good evening.

work safe

Jim, you can send me a slice of cheesecake. But don't mail it: wrap it up REAL good,
and send it UPS. Maybe they won't realize it's food, and won't break the pkg. open and
eat it!!

I bought another New York Style Gourmet Turtle Cheesecake Sunday night. I had 3 pieces of it that night. I had a piece last night when I got in from work, and had a piece of it this morning for breakfast. [;)] [:p] [;)]

I only have one large piece or two smaller pices left. It just depends on how hungry I am on how I "slice" it. lol lol lol [;)] [:p] [:D]

Whadayamean, sometimes? Dessert is almost always better than the main course. I've been known to eat my dessert while preparing the rest of my meal..... One advantage of cooking only for oneself....[:D]
