Rainy rest of week here

46º with rain here in Clarinda on this Tuesday morning 4-30-19.  Had .2" this morning and Phyllis had dumped .8" couple days ago, which might have been from two days of rain then.  Forecast is for rain off-and-on for the next week.

Back yard by deck.

Mowed the lawn yesterday, with the predicted rains coming up.  The heavy grass/leaves that were mowed when we first got home last week have pretty well "rotted" away, or whatever that stuff does.

 Sunday morning we sang in the choir (meeting at 8:15 am for an 8:45 am service) and after service visited at a 90th Celebration for Marge Anderson {she is center of photo at left}.

In afternoon we went to Golden Rod Nursing Home for celebration of Kenny Garrett's 90th birthday.

 Sunday evening we went to Vicki & Dale Fulk's here in Clarinda and played Pegs & Jokers with them.  They are just learning, but doing fine at it.  The guys and gals split winning the games.

GROANERS CORNER:(( An 85-year-old widow went on a blind date with a 90-year-old man. When she returned to her daughter's house later that night, she seemed upset. "What happened, Mother?" the daughter asked. "I had to slap his face three times!" "You mean he got fresh?" "No," she answered. "I thought he was dead!" 
------------------------
Many years ago, in the south pacific, there was a small island kingdom that was ruled by a kind and benevolent King. Each year, on the King's birthday, the residents of the island gave the King a new throne as token of their love and respect for him. And each year, the King would put last years gift up in the attic of his small grass house. After many years of ruling the island, the weight of the large number of birthday presents stored up in the attic became too heavy and caused the house to collapse down on the King. Moral to the story is: He who lives in grass house, shouldn't stow thrones.
