Dugan was under the weather. Karla wasn't feeling well and we had no idea if the rest of the team was planning on being in attendance.
Butch and I went to trivia not knowing who else might show up but realizing it might be just us. It was just us. My goal was adding to my trivia question collection for future use in other places. So we decided we would answer what we could and let the chips fall where they may and we became Team Brooker. Now this next part you may find hard to believe because we find it hard to believe but here it is; we were in 1st place at the half, ahead of the Tired Teachers and with a perfect score of 60! Yes, you read that right!!!!
We fell apart in the second half only answering one question correctly but still ended up in 3rd place. We were tickled, pleased and very surprised.

Butch's birthday present
Liz's Christmas Cactus. Now I have to keep it alive and get it to Texas.
A couple of weeks ago...
Photos from last couple of days.
As most of you know my camera is never very far away.
I had some volunteer milkweed plants in my front flower bed and I left them there because I know they can be beneficial to butterflies and bees. So these pics are my attempts to catch them partaking.
The blue flowers are balloon flowers. I first got the seeds from Keri.
Milkweed plants
And these are bike trail photos from this mornings walk. Yes, I have turned over a new leaf and getting back to walking at least 3 to 4 days a week.
Jason and I have an asparagus patch locked and loaded on our minds. It is centrally located in this photo. In the Spring I raid it if I remember to wear my old shoes. It can be wet and unpleasant in that ditch.
This morning these 3 were coming toward me so I snapped a photo of them. I do not know who they are and I was mentally commending them for their healthy intentions until I smelled the cigarette smoke as they passed me.
I love how the sunlight settles in through the trees.
Soybean fields

This little house at the entrance to the fairgrounds has a place in my memories. It is the ticket house where my parents and/or grandmother would stop to buy our tickets to the fair. I am glad they have left it in place,

The Days fill up
It seems the days fill up and as I look back they fill up with just plain living. Nothing spectacular or particularly noteworthy but simple happy events none the less.
Side note: Butch left about 15 minutes ago to play golf. He asked if there was any chance of rain before he left. I had just checked the radar before he left and it looked very improbable. We are having a deluge!! I guess this will be memorable.
Have been doing some acrylic pour painting at Mickeys. Here is the latest one.
