Fifty is Nifty

Well I turned the big 50 this month, I have now joined Doug, Nancy, Janice and Doug into this age block. Caroline has one more year to go before crossing this threshold

It is like crossing the event horizon on SG1 you do not know what is actually on the other side.

The State Fair was hot,  Philomena did good on her presentation at the 4-H building.  I had my regular pork chop on a stick which was very good.  It is made by the Pork Producers, I do not know how they do it but that is the most moist best tasting pork chop I have ever eaten. It is a genuine pork chop and the stick is the bone part of the chop

Well August is now behind us and we can look back and comment on just where did the summer go?

I took Philomena and Stephen down to Iowa City this weekend to visit Janice and my nieces and nephews (except for Lucas who was back at home) who were in town to move in Nathaniel.  I was able to visit with them, as well as everybody else down there.

also I was able to see my youngest niece while I was there.

Everybody seemed to have a lot of fun together at supper time last night.  It was fun to see everybody.

I do not know the whole story, but Tom seems to be having some difficulty with coaching 5th and 6th graders football.  Hmmmmmmm, sounds like he is having fun, but I think I will buy more stock in aspirin and ibuprofen companies.

Also we took Keeley down for a check-up also.  She made it down and back without any problems.  No throw-ups in the car!!!

It was good to see everybody for the brief time we were down there.

Sarah is teaching

Mary and Matthew are back at school, and we got Mary and all of her stuff moved back to her dorm room.  I have no idea where all of that stuff will go into her room, or if it will even fit, but all that matters is that stuff is out of my hair for a while!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the way things are going Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner and before you know it I will have another birthday.

I hope everybody will enjoy the remaining days of summer and have a good week
