[Eoscstudents] Menu for Thurs. June 15

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a great day, looking forward to a great weekend.  
Looking at the weather report on TV, it looks like there's a 70% chance 
of rain both Saturday and Sunday, but hey, we won't melt will we?  It 
might just cool things off and make everything fresh and green again.  
As long as it doesn't rain on the rodeo or the parade and festivities 
downtown on Saturday.   The rodeo parade is Saturday at 4:00 and I 
understand there will be some other things going on in town earlier that 
day.  A reenactment of a bank robbery, possibly.  When I was a kid, 
(back 100 years ago), we used to have a week long festival going on in 
town every summer called the Belle Starr Western Festival, and I 
couldn't stand to miss a minute of it.  Of course when I got older, I 
learned that a lot of the merchants thought it was a pain in the 
derriere, due to traffic congestion, kids running in and out with squirt 
guns, and a hundred other reasons, but I sure did miss it once they let 
it die out.   Every day at noon, the Belle Starr gang would ride into 
town, rob the bank, hang someone (with a safety harness), throw loot to 
the kids and ride out with guns blazing, (blanks of course).  It was 
always very exciting and I thought getting to play Belle Starr would 
just be the coolest thing ever.   I think the objection that finally 
killed the festival off was that we were glorifying an outlaw, and what 
did that teach our children?  I guess one good thing came out of the 
demise of the Belle Starr Festival.  People realized we did need some 
sort of a festival or gathering of some sort, so it wasn't too many 
years, I don't think, before they started the Fall Festival out at 
Robber's Cave. 

Our menu for today includes:

            Roast beef
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
            Broccoli casserole
            Seasoned baby carrots
            Brussels sprouts
            Rolls

And our fast food is Chili Dogs with Shredded Cheese.

And for dessert I can smell yummy Brownies already, and I'll be tasting 
one before it's over with, too!

Come on over,

Rhoda   :-)
