Some rain -- and comfortable temps

85º here in Clarinda at 11:30 am Tuesday.  Got 1.05" rain Saturday morning early.  Lots of wind but we didn't have any major damage.  Air conditioning hasn't run last several days.
This was our patio about 6 am Saturday morning

Finally got the small stuff picked up and cut up Sunday

Birds are growing, but not making noise, yet.


 Saturday afternoon we went downtown to the classic car display, part of the Cruisin' Clarinda celebration

















Saturday evening we watched the "Cruisin' Clarinda parade







Want Harold Neher to notice the sign on this H Farmall!

Sunday we had a good turn out and good food at the
Monthly Pot-Luck lunch.

Looking through a box that was kept in the shop account smoke damage from our
fire in 2008 I found a lot of  VCR tapes, Cassette tapes, and this certificate
that my sister got for attending vacation church school in May of 1955.  She passed away 10 years ago.

Sunday evening we played Pegs & Jokers with Phil & Debbie Tornholm.  Guess we taught the gals too good, because they beat the guys in every game!
This squirrel came back twice to eat out of the bird feeder.  The 2nd time
Phyllis went after him with a broom -- which I didn't get a picture of.




GROANER'S CORNER:((  Sam passed away. His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate funeral.  As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Helen, turned to her oldest friend.  "Well, I'm sure Sam would be pleased," she said.  "I'm sure you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice and leaned in close.  "How much did this really cost?"  "All of it," said Helen. "Thirty thousand."
"No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"  Helen answered. "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went for the memorial stone."  Jody computed quickly. "$22,500 for a memorial stone? My God, how big is it?!"  "Two and a half carats."

- What happened to the skeleton that was attacked by a dog?  The dog ran off with some bones and didn't leave him with a leg to stand on!
- God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference...

Mr. Dewey was briefing his client, who was about to testify in his own defense. "You must swear to tell the complete truth. Do you understand?"   The client replied that he did. The lawyer then asked, "Do you know what will happen if you don't tell the truth?"  The client looked back and said, "I imagine that our side will win."
===================================

A ventriloquist is performing with his dummy on his lap. He’s telling a dumb-blonde joke when a young platinum-haired beauty jumps to her feet. “What gives you the right to stereotype blondes that way?” she demands. “What does hair color have to do with my worth as a human being?” Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to stammer out an apology. “You keep out of this!” she yells. “I’m talking to that little jerk on your knee!”

More later, when I remember to post.  Lynn
