This was saved as an image because I could not copy and paste it as text. So if you want to save it get out your trusty "snipping tool" on your computer and save it as an image too. Or write it out line by line you energetic soul!

I have made this recipe before and it is every bit as good as claimed.

Butch is getting along fine with his hand and will be getting the stitches out next Wednesday. I have reacquainted myself with driving a straight stick and have regained much of my confidence. It is so easy to lose. The old adage 'use it or lose it ' is quite true.

Karla and her new bike

Karla came over to get the final adjustments on her new bike. It fits her to a tee now.

Butch is becoming quite adept at using his left hand.

Devon came along with his Mom and we played Mexican train, making the afternoon fly by.

Classmates revisited

We gathered at the HyVee patio for a visit with an old classmate (Clair Tomlinson) and his sister Marlene who are back in the region for their brother Bob's funeral.
It was a great time reminiscing about the good old days. It is like a domino effect when someone mentions an incident or a person from long ago and the ball starts rolling with everyone adding their bits to the story.
Here are some pictures of the event. Missing from the pictures are Butch and I and Jack Harmer.
