Ridin' the Rails: Come on, lit's go fer another train ride. Alllllll Aboard!
The Cass Scenic RR-West Virginia
This authentic remnant of what was once a major logging railroad climbs from the old lumber town of Cass to the summit of Bald Knob, second highest peak in the state. The train, powered by specially designed Shay steam locomotives once used to haul logs, takes passengers past breathtaking views of mountain scenery and climbs to an elevation where the countryside has been described as "a bit of Canada gone astray." The Cass Showcase, a slide presentation and miniature diorama showing the early lumbering days of the town, provides an excellent introduction to the Cass experience. Happy Railroadin' Partners.....have fun and enjoy!!! No better way to enjoy wildlife....nature....and just down right relaxin'!

NEWS and VIEWS

Article submitted by: Monica K. of Bon Carbo, Co.
There was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord. One night when the little girl was 5 years old the parents fought with each other and the dad shot the mother, right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself. The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday school, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and, to have patience with her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus, and said, "Does anyone know who this is?" The little girl said "I do, that's the man who was holding me the night my parents died."

TIPS FOR: Moms-To-Be & New Moms

Pat's Baby Talk:
Site provides helpful tips and links to parenting resources. . .

Baby Bingo is a great game. Each guest receives a page with 16 or 20 squares on it. Before the mother-to-be opens her gifts, each guest writes down on their sheet which presents they think she'll get (each square must have a different item). Then, as each gift is opened, if you have it in one of your squares, put an "X" through it. When you have a row of X's, you win a prize. The prizes are just small gifts, wrapped and placed in a big basket that the mother-to-be gets to keep. Each guest ends up getting a little something, and it keeps the interest level high and the attention on the mother-to-be. It's lots of fun!"
NOTE: Always follow the advice of your Physician!

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the most common mistakes people make with car seats include threading seatbelts through the wrong slots, not using a locking clip when one is required, failing to buckle in the child, and installing the seat too loosely. A correctly installed seat will not be able to move more than an inch forward or to either side. The NHTSA reports that as many as 50 percent of all car seats are installed or used incorrectly. But educating parents about a car seat's compatibility with their vehicle can overcome the vast majority of these problems.

• True story:
  A wife was having "one of those days" where nothing seemed to go right. She kept dropping everything she grabbed. In exasperation, she finally exclaimed, "Son of a bxxxch!" Our son opened his door, stuck out his head and grinned, "You called for me, mom?" Her aim and grip after she picked up the dropped object was much improved.

MOUNTAINGNOME's GRUB SHOPPE

KENTUCKY HOT BROWN:
Does the sun shine bright on your old Kentucky home? If not, you've probably never heard of a Hot Brown sandwich. And even if it does, you may never have made a Hot Brown, because the sauce is a little tricky. This easy version provides wonderful, rich flavor with less effort, so you can enjoy the taste of home. (And all you non-Kentuckians can get yourself a little Southern culture and try something new!) Serves 4.

• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp flour
• 2 c milk
• 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon
• 1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bread, toasted
• 6 oz cooked turkey breast meat, thinly sliced
• 6 oz cooked ham, thinly sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
• 2 tsp Parmesan cheese
• Paprika

Put toast in flat baking dish. Put turkey and ham on toast. Spoon cheese sauce over meat. Bake 10 minutes.

Top with bacon and tomato slices; bake 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with Parmesan and paprika before serving.

So until next time, REMEMBER:  "Do not marry a person that you know you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without."
