Made this for a friend

 I made this for a dear friend, she really liked it.

 

What is this nonsense...our power went out on the hottest day of the year

 A short but very strong storm came through about 5:00p.m., last evening, it broke some power poles down the road from us. Half of the town was without power. There was also lots of wind damage in our little town. So, here we sat at 10:00 at night on the hottest day of the year.  We went to my mother in laws porch because everything in our yard was just drenched and still wet from the storm...we lit a couple of lanterns and just waited. At least there was a beautiful bright almost full moon!  The power came back on at 4:00 a.m.  We did get some sleep, the house stayed around 75 degrees.  So, it was 10 hours without power.  All is well now.

 

An evening at Blair's

 Thank you Blair's Processing ( Hope Horath)for the wonderful annual customer appreciation evening. There were probably at least 100+ people there. The food was delicious, catered by "Lickin' my chicken and pullin' my pork", we always look for them when we are at local events.. Live music and just a great group of people enjoying a summer Saturday night in the country. There were also fireworks! Thankfully the weather was perfect! Thanks again, we had a great time.

 

He's just the best

 Thank you all for the many anniversary good wishes. We appreciate them so much. It has been a good day. I was gone all afternoon and when I came home these lovely gifts and cards were waiting for me from my dear husband. He's just the best! Then we cooked some hotdogs over the firepit and spent the rest of the evening outside.

 

Happy 32nd Anniversary to us!

 Happy 32nd Anniversary to my wonderful, amazing, kind, goofball of a husband! I don't need to write a bunch of mushy stuff online, you know how I feel. I love you

Smoke from Canada

 Look how thick this smoke is here in Illinois coming down from Canada.
