Rain changing over to snow as I speak. Let's see if we see the foot they're forecasting. I could use an extra day off work.....

Well, we had a beautiful day here today, sunny and temps in the 60's. Too bad I couldn't enjoy it too much- spent the whole afternoon/evening working on a plumbing repair project in our master bath. End result- we now have a shower enclosure the size of a standard tub (but without the tub walls), and IT DOESN'T LEAK. And I've learned how to work with pex plumbing; neat stuff.

Yummy food CW. I especially like the garlic bread and parmasean bread sticks.
I was out in the garden today planting some summer bulbs and annuals and I noticed that my rhubarb is getting quite tall. I will have to bring some fresh rhubarb cake into the diner next week. I might even be able to make some for dessert for lunch on Friday. Have a good Monday everyone(haha my spring break is over so i don't think it will be such a great monday for me.)Oh well. I think i'm Gonna go get a second helping of food now.
This was the final day of the spring musical at school. Our production this spring was "Aida" and I have to admit it was probably the best of the four musicals I've been a part of since I started high school. We had two performances today, one at 2PM and another at 7PM. The one at 2 had a few minor errors, but the 7 o'clock show was fantastic.
Anyway, even though I enjoy the musicals, I'm glad this one is over. Now I can actually sleep late on weekends again.
Hope everyone has a good week.

Good Monday morning, all. Guess it's a good morning: I'm not quite awake yet, still guess I'll wake up totally after awhile.
Coffee is ready, fresh juice is made, and there's hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea available.
Willy, glad the play went well for you all!
Emma, don't really care for rhubarb; but, do you have any strawberry plants in your garden?
All the regular breakfast menu items are on the warmer bar, ready and waitin', so mosey on over, and fix your plates.
Everyone have a great day!!
Willy - Glad your show went well. I was never involved in any sort of musical in HS - the Drama Club didn't get along too well with the choir director (we even lampooned her during "The Crucible"). Helped out with one of my kids musicals years later....
Speaking of sleeping in - a two hour delay at work (so far) and some schools have already given up for the day. Got up long enough to eat breakfast and find out about the delay - back to bed!
morning
the traffic jam in town has started today.going to be a nice day otherwise.another coal train was in our siding with citx marks on them.looked like some norange power on the point for ns.
....Nothing but sunshine now....36.5 degrees and sunshine forecast for this week {possible chance of a bit of rain Wed.}, and warming temps as the week unfolds. Sounds much better. Maybe the massive system is going to move on out to the Atlantic....Sure hope so.
Wish a good week to all....We didn't get any back lash from the nor' easterner as we're out west too far....

SUnny and 60 yesterday. Sunny and 70 today and tomorrow. Yeah.
We have partly cloudy skys here and a temp of 38 degrees. It's supposed to get up to 71 later this afternoon. All the snow we got in last week's storm is now gone. The rest of this week here will not be quite as nice as what it will be today. It had gotten into the mid 60's yesterday and I was busy giving my house a thorough cleaning. I should have taken advantage of the nice weather to clean all my windows. I have an appointment this morning for a house appraisal, I am re-financing my home mortgage in order to pay off some credit card debt. I'm going to have to sit down and talk with my bank's loan officer, as I don't think I need the entire $16,000.00 that she wants to loan me, although I could use a couple thousand to remodel my kitchen.

....Long time pets become genuine family members. A real loss when they pass on. We've experienced it with two little doxie dogs {miniatures}, over a span of 33 years. Last one left 11 years ago and I still "watch" I don't tramp on her lunch bowl at the edge of the cabinets in the kitchen. {Of course it's not there, but I'm thinking it is, and I must watch out for it.....}.
Dan - my eyes leak over all pet losses. This is no exception! You have my deepest sympathy.

Well, I've finally gotten lunch on the warmer bar: leftover spaghetti w/meatballs, lasagna, and garlic bread and garlic & parmesean cheese bread sticks; salads are in the cooler, and for dessert, chocolate cake, apple pie and ice cream.
Does anyone have any requests for supper/dinner menu tonight?
CNW 6000 wrote:That's good 'sketti there CW. How about some salmon patties or fish sticks with mac 'n cheese for dinner?
Mac & Cheese made with some good extra sharp cheddar!!!!!!! I'm in!
And on the somber side - condolences. I know I'm looking at the loss of my older dog sooner rather than later. She'll be 14 this year, and survived being hit by a car a couple of years ago.
Condolences on the pet losses, Dan and Mutt/CW.
I'll put in an order for the fish sticks, but not the M&C. Sorry, but that stuff makes me nauseous.
Dan sorry to hear of you loss.will take some spaghetti for work tonight CW.going to be a busy night.
a little day-brightener before I head trackside:
Do you know they issue Mudchickens cell phones and they teach them how to use them? The wonderment is, they don't even have any finners, let alone an opposable thumb! I have seen it all now!
Bye
Mook!
My condolences Dan, Mutt and CW. This seems to be happening to a lot of people right now. I have an old hen that has hypertension and another one that is looks gloomy and won't move, that I don't think will last out the week. But they have been happy and pampered their entire lives so I guess they were better off than most chickens. It is always hard when a pet you have had for a long time dies. Maybe we can have a pet memorial service later this week and everyone can post their favorite pictures of their departed friends.
On a brighter note I think I'll try the fish sticks. I have never had fish sticks so this will be a first time experience for me. And diddo on blhanel's comment on the M&C, I think I will have my fish out on the porch away from it.
CW- Don't worry about dinner, it is on me tonight.
Hmm, lets see- here's an odd menu for everyone to choose from
ravioli- cheese, meat and vegie
lasanga
and spagetti for Joe
oh and Fish sticks (just realized I have never eaten or made fish sticks before, well I hope all of you like my beginners fish sticks then).
and the M&C for those who fancy it
plus
biscuts
green salad
green beans
carrots
Dessert- cherry pie, shortbread cookies

ALL, Thank You for all the words of condolences; they are appreciated VERY MUCH.
Dan, I imagine that Sammy is "chasing the string" also, but do you think Ace could teach him how to Catch Mice?! (other than Catnip ones!)
I think he Always let the "other ones" do the "Dirty Work"!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Emma, thank you for fixing supper tonight. Just wish I felt like eating. Maybe I'll try some beans, carrots and salad. Know I need to eat something. Beginning to get a headache, so know I need to eat something, so I can take my medicine.
As Mutt said, thank you everyone, for your kind words.
