Rain

69º here in Clarinda, IA at 10:20 am Thursday - had rain and wind, but no hail or tornadoes as in some areas of the Midwest the last day or so.  Haven't found where I stashed my rain gauge last September before we headed south -- may stumble on it soon.  KMA reports about an inch over the last couple days for Clarinda.

This picture was taken towards the southwest, from the church while we were having choir practice Wednesday evening.

Bird eating on patio this morning.

Lilacs are starting to bloom by the patio in backyard.

Phyllis drove yesterday when we took Judy Heuer to Council
Bluffs to hear Terry Smith sing at a retirement/nursing home.
Got to hear the GPS guy say "Speeding warning" many times.

We got to listen to Terry Smith at Kenwood in February and always enjoy him.  This was a rather short program for the older folks here.  He put on a full program at a Church in Council Bluffs that night, but we had to be back for Choir Practice.

Got to visit briefly with our old neighbors (when we lived
on Hiway 2 west of Clarinda) Jim & Evelyn Whipple.

I have been transferring the old VCR tapes to digital
and we have been watching some really old things.  This
was the Cabbage house being moved to Braddyville in 1988

An office exec was interviewing a flighty red head for an assistant position, and wanted to find out a little about her personality.  "If you could have a conversation with anyone, alive or dead, who would it be?"  The red head replied, "I'd have to say the living one."
