Ice Storm Recovery Video

Thanks Keri Brooker for sending this. Butch will enjoy every minute of it. I thought others might as well.

Time Marches on



Clever huh...since it is March. I was elected president of the park association this week. It is a social association rather than a homeowners association which makes the job a bit more palatable.  I will give it my best.
The weather has taken a turn for the better. We are finally getting some temps in the 70's and 80's. Long overdue!
Friends Donn and Peggy Gordon will be arriving on my birthday Saturday to stay for a couple of weeks. We always enjoy each others company so it will be a fun two weeks. Peggy and I met when I worked at the medical clinic in Panora IA. Her husband Donn was a merchant seaman and was gone for 6 month periods and Butch was in sales and gone through the week so Peggy and I did things together outside of the time at the clinic and developed our friendship as individuals and as couples. They moved to Nevada and we had a long gap in seeing them but when we retired and took to the road we re-established our friendship and it was as if we picked up where we left off. I will be telling you all what we do for fun this next two weeks.
Here is a picture of us from the old days in Panora.

Suggested

It has been suggested to me that it is not apparent what part of Butch's anatomy is injured. For the record it is his right shoulder. Smileycons!

Golf Ball Hit

Butch was hit by a golf ball Saturday. Fortunately it hit the ground before hitting him. You can see the glancing blow lines. He says it hurts and I am sure it does.
