Went to Oak Tree Opry in Anita

86º with a "feel like" of 89º with the high humidity at 12:15 pm Saturday - forecast 90º for high.

Drove the 62 miles to Anita, IA yesterday evening to the Oak Tree Opry.  Show was from 7 pm to about 9:30 pm and was real entertaining.

Can't remember all their names, but the guy with the long hair is Jacob Austin who plays the mandolin. 

Fella sitting on the right of this photo had just gotten out of three weeks in the hospital with some 3 surgeries on his leg, the last one grafting skin and he announced is is now cancer free.

I sprayed Home Guard bug protection all around the outside
of the house this morning.  I did not spray the bee in below pictures. 

This Bumble Bee hovered around quite a few of these flowers

I cut into small pieces (so they will deteriorate easily and I can scoop
them over the bank behind the house) about 5 loads of trimmed branches
and dead branches into this one small pile.

Had another appointment in Omaha Friday morning - drove across Highway 34 Bridge over the Missouri River for the first time.  Avoids considerable Council Bluffs traffic if you are going to Omaha.

Guess this is how giving shots is learned!

Spent some time at Aldi's and Sam's Club in Council Bluffs on the way home.











GROANER’S CORNER:(( A Few Simple Tips To Make Life Simpler::
Old telephone books make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and addresses of people you don't know.
Fool other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car phone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the curb.
Lose weight quickly by eating raw pork and rancid tuna. I found that the subsequent food poisoning enabled me to lose 12 pounds in only 2 days.
Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers turned to fast wipe whenever you leave your car parked illegally.
No time for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.
Apply red nail polish to your nails before clipping them. The red nails will be much easier to spot on your bathroom carpet. (Unless you have a red carpet, in which case a contrasting polish should be selected).
If a person is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down their throat and presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed.
Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whiskey. The following morning you can create the effects of hangover by drinking a thimble full of dish washing liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the floor.

A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" Annie replied, "Because people are sleeping."
