The community is invited to come on down to the Diner & General Store. Take a chair on the porch and sit a spell. Visit with your neighbors and see what's going on in town.
Stephen, I couldn't agree more! I think that the Bug-A-Salt gun should be standard issue in every household -- especially in the summertime. I'm thinkin' they could be plenty useful on mosquitoes, too!
I hope y'all are feeling better in the Tungate household? Chicken soup has magical properties, I do believe!
I worked until 1230 today and then I cooked for the meals this week. Freezer is full and Donnie wont have to eat chicken ceasers with me all week. Boy will he be happy :)
Thanks guys. Missed the discussion tonight. Wednesdays are karate night for Kaylin. She doesn't do competitions but the next pic will be her getting her Red belt. She missed the "graduation", last Friday because the family was getting ready for the grappling comp. Her makeup graduation ceramony should be next week. I'm rite proud of both my girls.
Punkin pie does sound mighty good Steve.

Our Daily Bread Diner’s Stories Our Daily Bread serves free hot meals to people in need in the community including the aged, homeless, unemployed, disabled, and working poor. Some of our diner’s stories are heartbreaking and compelling. x Mary is in her sixties and has been coming to ODB for a hot meal for the last two years. Although she was employed as a graphic designer for over 40 years, she has not been able to find steady work since 2003. In 2009, disaster struck when her mobile home exploded due to a gas leak and Mary lost her home, her car, her beloved cats, and all of her belongings. She lives on a small social security check and has been close to homelessness many times. When asked how ODB helps her, Mary responded in tears “ODB keeps my sanity. There are people here who understand that once you get knocked down in life, it is hard to even go to a job interview”. x Kenny is a 64 year old retiree who has been coming to ODB for a hot meal for the past three years. He suffers from Muscular Dystrophy and is confined to a wheel chair. Kenny says “ODB keeps me healthy. It gives me faith and hope. It is a blessing”. x Robert is a regular diner at ODB. He is in his fifties and started his career as a Manufacturing Engineer. His life dramatically changed and his career ended when he suffered a traumatic brain injury in 1990. He survives on a small disability income. He sleeps in an RV with no heat, a leaky roof, and minimal cooking facilities. Over the past ten years his health has continued to deteriorate due to his living conditions. When asked how ODB helps him, Robert replied “Primarily it provides me with a tasty nutritious lunch three times per week. Secondarily, the ODB staff and fellow diners provide me with support which helps my well being”. x Mike is over 65 years old and worked as a self employed repairman most of his career. When the economy slowed, he could no longer make a living. His situation is further compounded because he has limited use of one of his arms due to childhood polio. These days he finds himself playing music on street corners for extra cash. Mike sleeps on the floor of a mobile home in exchange for providing care for the owner who suffers from major medical problems. Mike has been coming to ODB for over three years. When asked how ODB helps him, Mike responded “You folks at ODB are keeping me alive. You are blessed. I lie awake some nights wondering what I would do if you were not here. I pray for you”.
Great heart-felt stories, Miss Sue. The compasion we can have for one another in this world of hate and violence is astounding and makes me believe the human spirit is alive and well. Bless you, please keep some great stories coming. We enjoy them.
