Finally a little moisture along with the heat

84º with bright sunshine here in Clarinda, IA at 12:51 pm Sunday.  Rained much of the night and had about a half-inch this morning.  We have had many days in the 90's and one day reached 98º.

Cam & Pat came with Emmy yesterday for a visit and left this morning.

Besides visiting yesterday, we did play a few games of Pegs & Jokers last evening before eating supper here at our place.

 With three women against two men, would like to say the men won all three games-----but can't.  We came in second, though, in each game.

Last Sunday evening we went to the Cowboy Church on the Courthouse Square here in Clarinda where Sarah Davison (a native of the Clarinda/Braddyville area) had her group "High Road", along with her dad 

and two other men, perform.  They played a lot of great music, in the hot sun while the crowd were mostly in the shade under the trees near the Courthouse.  Her dad gave the sermon.

Last Saturday Patty Steckelberg came over and rode with us to a Square Dance at the Machine Shed north of Macksburg, IA.

Had a "Pot Luck" supper and then square dance with line dances.  We hadn't danced for many years, but enjoyed a few tips.

Last Tuesday we drove down to Hiawatha, Kansas for a visit (and great meal!) at Harold & LaRhoda Neher's place.  

Played a few games of Pegs & Jokers.

Getting the trailer ready for taking off Tuesday morning to Bluegrass Festival in Wahoo, NE and then on to Callaway, NE next Friday.

A man is at the funeral of an old friend. He tentatively approaches the deceased’s wife and asks whether he can say a word.                                                                               The widow nods. The man clears his throat and says, “Plethora.”                                                                                            The widow smiles appreciatively. “Thank you,” she says. “That means a lot.”

As an old sign maker, these caught my attention:
