Some more happenings

91º with humidity at 50% at our La Feria, TX home. 77º with humidity at 65% at our Clarinda, IA home at 1:45 pm Tuesday.  Click pictures to enlarge - click video to play.


Here is our new wind-catcher in motion.  The inner doodad rotates opposite from the outer doodad.

A marked difference in height here!





















After our nearly 40-year old windmill
was shaking severely from several accidents in,
the past, finally replaced it with identical new one.

This is the "old beat-up" windmill
Chives starting to go to seed.
Task before mowing the yard.

Variety of sizes and kinds of trees in front yard.
Went to Shenandoah last evening to square dance at nursing home.
Ate at the Depot Deli afterwards - helped Patty Steckleberg (on right)
celebrate her birthday (today).

Tree in back yard really dropping pollen

Further away view of the pollen tree.

The hot tub lid was covered.  And the pollen was falling on me when I was in the tub this morning.

Ron Sanson (Sitting in front) was the County Extension Agent when we came to Clarinda 48 years ago.
Because of health issues of his and his wife Ann, they are moving to Orange City, IA to be near one of their kids.

Rest of the group that had a send-off supper for them at J Bruner's
last week.  We did not attend.  These photos from Facebook.

The Sanson's were not happy to be leaving Clarinda, but after his recent
stroke it seemed advisable to move to a facility near their kids.
Making plans to go to the Wahoo Country Music show June 20, 21, 22, 23 & 24, 2018 in Wahoo, Nebraska with our trailer. Hope to visit some
of the Miles's in nearby Lincoln during that week.

GROANER’S CORNER:))  An old Indian lined up all of his 10 little Indian sons and stood in front of them.  He then asked, "Who push port-a-potty over cliff?"  Nobody answered him.  He then asked again, "Who push port-a-potty over cliff?"
Again nobody answered.  The old Indian said, "I tell story of Georgie and Georgie father. Georgie chop down cherry tree. Georgie tell truth, Big Georgie no punish." So the Indian asked again,
"Who push port-a-potty over cliff?"  To which the littlest Indian replied, "I push port-a-potty over cliff."  The old Indian then shakes and spanks him, for his punishment. When he is done, the little Indian asks, "Georgie tell truth, Georgie no get punish. I tell truth, I get punished. Why you punish, father?"  The old Indian replied, "Big Georgie not in cherry tree when it got chopped down!!!"

Q: What do you call a dead atheist?
A: Someone all dressed up with nowhere to go!

A man went to the Police Station wishing to speak with the burglar who had broken into his house the night before.  "You'll get your chance in court." said the Desk Sergeant.  "No, no no!" said the man. "I want to know how he got into the house without waking my wife. I've been trying to do that for years!"

DO IT NOW--------BEFORE YOU FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
