We took this photograph at the cemetery in Iola, Kansas several years ago. |
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

FARM ETIQUETTE
It
did not seem like a ridiculous question to me. I went out to mow the
back field and the neighbor was mowing his field.
If you are bowling you wait for the lane next to you to finish bowling their lane before you bowl yours and I wondered if the same applied to running the tractors. Should I have waited until the neighbor was finished before I mowed? My son laughed at me when I called him to ask.
Someone accused me of being blonde. (Apologies to blondes everywhere.) My response, "I do not yet know farm etiquette". Another comment, "Two words never heard together before "farm" and "etiquette".
Perhaps I can become the Emily Post of farming. Rule #1: Wearing earrings while mowing is optional.
Rule #2: You should always wear a flowery dress while driving a tractor, along with rubber boots.
etc., etc., etc....

LIFE IS GRANDS
Our youngest granddaughter Hope enjoys watching TV curled up with Slim in grandpa's chair. |
Until she stumbles across her first episode of COPS |
Grandchildren tornado hits my sister's house. |
For the next two weeks she has all eight of her grands under the age of nine. |
Thankfully she has a pool to help keep them entertained. |
And then there is always this precious moment:) |

ARE WE OVER EXTENDED
Question Of The Week 8-12-13
Do you purchase the extended warranty that is always offered on electronic products at check out and if so, have you ever used that extended warranty or if you failed to purchase the extended warranty have you ever regretted not having purchased it?

Let's say you do purchase the extended warranty, what price range would the product have to fall in to cause you to buy the warranty?

MY TURN
A box full of serendipity. |
"2013 creative Pay-it-Forward: The first 5 people to comment will
receive from me, sometime in the next calendar year, a gift. Perhaps a
book, a baked good, a candle, music, a surprise! There will likely be
no warning and it will happen whenever the mood strikes me. These 5
people may wish to make the same offer on either their facebook status
or via their blog."
So now it is my turn to Pay-It-Forward. I would like to do the same for the first five to comment here. You can put your address in the comment or email me. This was such a delightful and unexpected surprise that I definitely want to share that feeling with five more of you.
Thank you so much Lynn. I love all the goodies!
It just dawned on me that once the five have commented there won't be anything for the rest to comment about over the weekend, so here are some fun trivia questions for you.
1.) What is Donald Duck's middle name?
2.) What is telespobia?
3.) What new critters are on NOL-NOC Estates?

SEVEN vs SEVEN
Say hello to my Granddog Clancy.
Clancy is a pretty big puppy for only Seven months old. |
Seven year old Slim suggests to my son that it is time to take Clancy home. The weekend has worn Slim out. |
My son Tandy says they are thinking about leaving. |
Slim shows them the door. Clancy seems a bit sad having loved all the running room at Granny Annie's. |
And so they load up and head back to the city. At the rate Clancy is growing, Tandy might need a bigger truck for their next visit. |
Clancy at 1 month, 2 months and 4 months of age. Yes, Clancy is a Great Dane. |

THE SUNDOWN TOO MOTEL
Question Of The Week August 5, 2013
What was the least favorite job you have ever had and why?
I worked as a telephone solicitor in 1965 selling magazine subscriptions. We worked out of a sleazy motel and used fake names. It was embarrassing enough to go there for my job interview but even worse to go to a motel room every day for work. I hated that job and believe I only stayed a week. Can you imagine people asking me where I worked and I had to say "The Sundown Too Motel"? Some people suggested a few of the girls were selling more than magazine subscriptions. I was 19 and very naive.
