Beauty Unexpected!

May 28, 2020 Beauty Unexpected! Cow pies were my primary focus as I walked through the pasture.  Well, maybe not my “primary” focus, but certainly they ranked pretty high on my list.  Who wants “cow pie” on their dress shoes?!?!

I Thought I Had A Stroke!

May 21, 2020 I Thought I Had A Stroke! I lost my ability to drink from a glass last week.  When I took my first drink each morning, the water would run down my arm and down the front of my shirt.  The first couple of times, I thought the water was pouring out of […]

Lead On Slowly!

May 14, 2020 May 14, 2020 Lead On Slowly! My wife and I were in a big hurry to plant our vegetable and flower gardens this year.  It probably had to do with a rather severe case of boredom with all the social distancing we are doing these days.  Although we know that where we […]

It’s A Pressure Cooker!

May 7, 2020 It’s A Pressure Cooker! I was doing some cooking a few days ago, when I noticed something felt wrong with our pressure cooker.  As I lifted the pot filled with water, the handle seemed to bend under the weight inside.
