79 degrees here today

We are rebounding from a cold spell whereby the temperature in the daytime was 55 degrees. That was on Wednesday. Those kinds of temperatures while in the motorhome are not pleasant, combined with wind and dampness it makes for a very unpleasant atmosphere. You may not think so but you must remember we are acclimated to warm weather.  55 degrees with clouds and dampness in Iowa about mid-July will give you the same kind of unpleasantness. No, you perhaps are not in danger of freezing to death but still it is less than pleasant. It is all 70's and 80's in the foreseeable future so back to normal, Yeah!
Butch is playing in the Friday Pool League this afternoon so we will assume he is having fun. I have just returned from a bike ride around the golf course and the park. Fun going North, not so fun going South. It was a workout though.
When I sat down to the computer I tried to remember what I should be doing and then decided to just chat with you all for a bit. But now I have remembered that next week's trivia questions are not completed so better get to that...soon. Last Tuesday one of the women who play cards but not trivia was telling me how much she enjoyed the questions while playing cards but wished she could see the answers..."Is there any way you could put the questions and answers on the blog? You aren't going to use them again, are you?" The answer is: "Yes, I could put them on the blog." "Do I want to? "No." I always like to have a sound reason when I say "No" to anything. That was one of my rules when raising the boys- Is there a good reason to say "No"?  I found it to be a reliable yardstick. So this time I am hedging. I may break down and post them but so far I am mulling it over.

On to trivia questions!

Old Pics of Jason

One of the reasons I hang in there with Facebook even though so much of what gets posted is pure rubbish is the occasional surprise. Like today when I am slowly making my way through the rubbish, which I hide by the way when I spot a picture of our youngest son Jason. At that point in his life, he had graduated from college and was living on his own in Boone. Jason went on a trip to California with a friend named Theron. I remember him going on the trip but little else about it. I remember him telling us about Theron's Grandpa Cyrus McQuillen in California. Butch and I both remember Cyrus as the father of a classmate of Butch's and a workmate of my father. Of course, we know now that The McQuillen family in California was making the acquaintance of our youngest son, Jason. Little did we know that many years later we would become much better acquainted with Dugan, Sharon, and Kevin McQuillen and value their friendship so very much.
What a special treat to see these pictures of Jason on his California trip. Jason is the one with the mustache. My guess on the year would be 1983 or 1984
