Re: The Bigger the Menu the Worse the Food
John,
?
The next time you come East, consider doing a side trip to Peru, Indiana-just north of Kokomo and across from Grissom Air Force Base.? In Peru, there is a restaurant called "The Siding".? There are several train cars one can go through, some items have been restored, others remain unchanged.? The food is good.? I've only eaten there once but my sister, who lives in Peru takes guests there on a regular basis.
?
Another side trip for food in a rail station would be in Noblesville, north of Indianapolis.? It's more of a pub but I go by it whenever I'm on 116th street.? (Maybe it's address is Fishers, now that I think about it.)? Nobelsville does have a restoration of passenager trains in progress, as funds become available.? I think it's actually called a museum.? Each year, at State Fair time, one of their refurbished trains offers rides from the Fair grounds here in Indy up to their M:useum.? Dave and I took that ride once several years ago.? He was a train buff.? In fact, one of our AGO'ers (American Guild of Organist) is a certified train conductor and often does his "spiel" on the Fair Train.? Yes, it's the same State Fair that has now had 7 tragic deaths due to a temporary stage scaffolding mishap on the 13th of this month.? I was scheduled to play keyboard for an ecumenical German Service Sunday
afternoon (14th) but of course, the fair was closed for the day.? The service was rescheduled for this past Sunday.? The service was entirely in German and yes, I "played " in German, too!? If you are into the Indy 500, the museum at the Speedway is very interesting.? Several years ago, I hosted a Paul N Amstutz reunion and one day was entirely taken up with visiting the Children's Museum in the morning and the Speedway Museum in the afternoon.? My siblings, nieces and nephews all said that was not enough time - should have been one complete day for each of the attractions.
?
So when you come by Indianapolis, give me a call and I'll be happy to give you detailed information on the sights of the city and near-by Grissom Air Force Base.? If you are into architecture, just South of Indy in Columbus Indiana there are lots of contemporary churches, public buildings and houses to see.? It's not far from the famous Brown County-much like Holmes County in Ohio.? Very hilly and scenic in the fall.? Nashville, Indiana is another tourist trap but I love visiting there.? One of the "traps" is homemade ice cream and eating "fried" biscuits with homemade apple butter!
?
Bon Appetite or however it is spelled.

I heard this today on Michael Savage Radio Show and thought it was
very profound.
The bigger the menu refers to the size of the menu--not the number
of items on the menu.
All the la-de-dah upstream yuppie restaurants try to make an impression
with their ornate large menus.
I for one prefer the local dumps for good food. Just ask a local
where you can find good food. Chances are it is not an upscale
overpriced phony place.
Just send me to any local diner, drive-in or dives place.
They are getting harder to find.
I have not been able to find any authentic diners anywhere.
Whatever happened to the Riceland Diner?
My search continues.
Any suggestions of where to find diners (old railroad diners)?
Have a neato mundane day.

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.
HOWEVER,?upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was?NOT?the senior citizens who took:
The?melody?out of music,
The?pride?out of appearance,
The?courtesy?out of driving,
The?romance?out of love,
The?commitment?out of marriage,
The?responsibility?out of parenthood,
The?togetherness?out of the family,
The?learning?out of education,
The?service?out of patriotism,
The?Golden Rule?from rulers,
The?nativity?scene out of cities,
The?civility?out of behavior,
The?refinement?out of language,
The?dedication?out of employment,
The?prudence?out of spending,
The?ambition?out of achievement or
God?out of government and school.
And we certainly are?NOT??the ones whoeliminated?patience?and?tolerancefrom personal relationships and interactions with others!!
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.?
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand?at attention with their hand over their hearts!
YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps.... with a hammer.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.?
I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them, but I would send it to many more too!
Spread the laughter
Share the cheer
Let's be happy

Hi everybody,
Cookie's sister, Beulah Goudy, died on 7/9/11.?? She was 81.
If you like to send Cookie a card, here is her address:

???? Orrville, OH?? 44667 |

Yes, Patricia, I'm one of the silent readers.? Must run in the family because Dave was a HAM radio operator and listened alot but seldom joined the conversations.
?
Thanks for the Stress List.? Will print it to serve as a reminder these days.? Still in a fog since Dave's death on April 9.? I do some volunteer work which helps to give a reason for getting up in the mornings.
?
Thoughts for next reuion:? I enjoyed touring the new high school but am not interested in attending another graduation ceremony.? Spending time together, informally, was the high light for me.? Would it be possible to have more of our high school teachers present and when they are, give them mic time so all of us could hear from them.? Don't tell me that they've all passed away.? Really?? Maybe each of us needs to go through the old Luannas to refresh our memories of teachers, classes, assignments etc.? I say high school, realizing that we Kidron people only had 4 years with you guys.? Pardone!? Your memories of being a Tea Pot or whatever were priceless, really.? So, I'll change that suggestion from the Luannas to...whatever.
?
I know the planning committee may feel overwhelmed in planning another one, but they did such a good job.? Is it too much to ask them to plan another reunion for us?? They can almost be considered the Pillars of the '59 Reunions!

'Nough for now.

Stress
A young lady confidently walked around the room while explaining stress
management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone was sure
she was going to ask the ultimate question: 'Half empty or half full?'
However, she fooled them all.?
"How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I
hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for
an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll
have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer
I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
She continued, "That's the way it is with stress. If we carry our
burdens
all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we
won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the
burden -- holding stress longer and better each time. So, as early in the
evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the
evening
and into the night.... Pick them up tomorrow.
"Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment. Relax;
pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now
'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"
1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're
the statue!
2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
them.
3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle
of it.
4 * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably
worth it.
7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning
to others.
8 * Never buy a car you can't push.
9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you
won't have a leg to stand on.
10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.?
14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world
to one person.
16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.?
17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty, and
some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but
they
all have to live in the same box.?
18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.?
19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.
20 * It was I, your friend!

Subject: [dalton59] Anyone have any rain to spare?? ? Just wondering if anyone would like to share some rain with me.
I will trade you 9 months of record drought for a couple of inches
of rain.
We have received about 4 inches of rain since January 1.
I think our normal rainfall for a "normal" year is about 30 inches.
We are a tad behind "normal" rainfall.
The heat is wonderful but the absence of rain is not too swift.
One of these days we will probably get 10 inches of rain in a couple
of days; then there will be flash flooding.
All of these weird weather events happen in cycles.
I just happen to be here in one of the drought cycles.
We are in stage 5 (out of six stages) of the drought. We are allowed
to water our lawn once a week with a hand held hose during certain
hours. What a great way to spend a day.
So how much rain have you'ns gotten thus far this year?
Please share some with me.
Have a swell day.
