[Eoscstudents] Menu for Mon. Aug. 1

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

I hope you all had a great weekend, the last one of our special summer 
hours, sigh, so it's back to the 5 day a week routine now.  But looking 
at the weather forecast, it's definitely not time to put away the shorts 
and flip flops yet.  The lowest high temperature predicted for the next 
10 days or so by the Weather Channel on my computer is 104!  And there 
are only a couple of those, with the rest of the high temperatures 
ranging up to 110!  Be sure and put plenty of water out for any pets 
that must stay outside, (more than one container is better in case one 
gets knocked over), and water your outside plants.  With these 
temperatures, it's going to be extremely hard on anything or anyone 
having to be outside for any length of time. 

We definitely discovered how serious a burn ban can be, when a stray 
spark set some of the ornamental grass in front of the Student Center 
ablaze last Thursday evening.  Be very careful when discarding 
cigarettes or working with anything that could cause a stray spark to 
catch in any combustible material.  With the dry conditions we've had, a 
small fire can get out of control very quickly. 

I attended a book signing at the Latimer County Public Library this past 
Saturday for "Hereafter", a teen/young adult ghost story set in the 
Wilburton area, and written by Tara Hudson, a first time author who has 
ties to this area.  I think it's thrilling to have a published book that 
uses our town as its setting, so be sure and watch for it in bookstores, 
(if there are any left), and Wal-Mart.  Who knows, Wilburton could be 
the next Forks!  

Our menu for today includes:
            Chicken fried steak
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
             Corn
             Green beans
             Hot rolls
And for dessert, have some delicious Blackberry Cobbler.

Have a great day at Eastern,

Rhoda   :-)
