Netflix

Butch and I watched the movie Julia & Julie. I enjoyed it very much and thought it was well done. Meryl Streep did a superb job as Julia Child. As a blogger it had perhaps more meaning to me.

Yippee!!

The Magnolia Directory is finished and I am quite happy with the finished product. We are using a different printer this year so the quality will be greatly improved. We should be able to sell them by next Tuesday.
Butch is playing as much golf as possible and helping new park manager Dottie. We are happy with her as manager. We can talk to her without her putting up a wall as we walk in the door. I think she will do a good job. I hope we can keep her.
I like a lot more leisure than I am getting right now. That is no different than in years past. There is no perfect balance on that score. I am much better at dealing with the pressure of too much now than I was in my youth. It all works out.
We are still fighting fleas on Angel. We think we have it conquered and then we discover another one. Once she is clear of them the only solution will be to not let her out. She hasn't been outside for more than 3 weeks now and she is not happy about that. These Texas fleas are a force to be reckoned with!!

Iowa Weather

These are pictures from my sister Myrla in Rockwell City Iowa. This is her neighbors house across the street and this was taken several storms ago.

Really cool picture of the ice melting off the roof.



The weather up there is frightful!! One after another the storms keep blasting through. Even though we are not living through it, in hearing about it, seeing photos and listening to news reports it has to be the worst winter in my memory.
