Wind, Wind, & More Wind

Along with the high winds, heavy rains are forecast for next couple days.


I put link on Facebook to my blog a few days ago when posted pictures from 2010 at our winter park Kenwood RV in Texas.  As you can see, I get 6 to 10 or so readers on each blog I post.  The one I linked to Facebook got 171 "looks".  Lot of people don't follow me regularly; even my own family and brothers don't pay any attention to it!



Gas price just keep rising!  This is price a few blocks from our house - now at $2.679.











Looked at some windows in our old church that are being
sold.  These two were above the balcony.

The narrow window removed - Phyllis intends
to hang it in our picture window.
















Butt-hole hospital employees can't smoke on their grounds--just across the street from us --  but they can throw their damned cigarette butts on the ground and the strong south wind blows all this damned stuff over on to our property.  I cannot understand why they would employ anyone who smokes.  I don't care what kind of college degree they have -- their just plain stupid to suck on the dirty cancer-causing things.  And then have the audacity to throw them on the ground after they have sucked on them.

Went down to the farm and got
some dirt.

Eight 5-gallon buckets of black dirt.

Some of it is already
filling in low spots
along the street curb













































After church Sunday we went to the Pot-Luck dinner at 12:00 noon.  Following photos are from then.








Saturday evening we took Leland & Bonnie Brown to Red Oak, IA.  Ate supper at the Pizza Ranch and then went to the Wilson Performing Arts Center to see/and hear, Tonic Sol-fa, an a cappella quartet from the Minneapolis–Saint Paul region. With a largely pop-music-oriented repertoire, their CDs have sold over 1,000,000 copies, and the group has toured throughout the US and abroad. Tonic Sol Fa (Web Page)



On this one song, one guy played the piano.
We really enjoyed the show.
GROANER’S CORNER:(( Q. What did the cannibal say when he came upon a sleeping missionary. "Ah! Breakfast in bed”.
- Did you ever see the customers in a health-food store? They are pale, skinny people who look half dead.   In a steak house you see robust, ruddy people. They're dying of course, but they look terrific.

- God noticed that Adam was lonely. He said to him "Adam, I am going to give you the perfect companion. She'll cook and clean and listen, she's perfect."Adam replied, "What will she cost me?"God said, "An arm and a leg."Shocked, Adam said, "Well, what can I get for a rib?"
