August about spent - Labor Day this weekend

 79º with bright sunshine here in Clarinda, IA at 10:40 am Wednesday with forecast of high of 90º  We had some lightning with rain last evening, though the most of the storm was south of us - moving east.  Dumped .1" of rain plus four bugs from the rain gauge this morning.

Some pictures of the excitement going on here.

I posted a photo of red car we had stored here for a couple weeks.  The Penny's, Burl & Donna, returned yesterday afternoon and I drove their car to Hy-Vee parking lot to pick them and their luggage up.  They spent some time at our place filling us in on their 12-day trip with ultimate destination of Glacier National Park.

I usually fix a salad each evening we are home, with whatever I can find in the fridge and cupboards.  The other night along with my Tuna  I added popcorn instead of corn chips or other carbs.  Not a bad combination except for the "old maids" that fell into the salad with the popcorn.

We had bought a Black Diamond watermelon when in Lincoln last Saturday.  I tried cutting it by following THIS METHOD and it worked out well.  Click the link to see.

A few photos of brother Roger's flowers and vegetables at his place in Lincoln last Saturday.

Will close off today with memories from some photos from 1966

Only 58 years ago!
