Mornings were normally I would have to be at work, but instead I am at home sitting in my pjs drinking a cup of coffee and reading/watching a movie on TCM.
Retired!

That definitely beats my mornings. I enjoy what I do, but look forward to retirement sooner than later.Retired!

You cannot beat free time.
Eating supper or dinner consisting only
of cashews!
Too late...You might want to check the expiration date on those...
AmateisGal, I've always wished that the North Platte depot could have been saved.
What a wonderful story. Is there a display of photos or memorabilia from that time somewhere?
I wish the North Platte Canteen could have been saved. What a treasure it would have been. Thousands of troops from all across America passed through there.
You can visit the Lincoln County Museum to see stuff. They have some things online: http://www.lincolncountymuseum.org/the-north-platte-canteen1
There's also a great book on it: https://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Town-Miracle-Canteen/dp/006008197X
Thank you. I've read that book a few times. It just astounds me what those folks did every day for almost 5 years. They sacrificed from their own limited supplies to make sure every train was taken care of.
A hardcover copy in "very good" condition is on its way from Amazon for $5.06 + free shipping - can't wait, thanks for the recommendation.
Cute, but I'm still waiting for the picture of Polo napping in your Tretorns.
