Last year by the time our corn was spiked up like pineapple plants from no rain and everything green was dead. We also have been mowing quite allot around here.

Sorry about the memorial services, it is so hard to say goodbye, even though the services take place afterwards. As for the class reunion, I went a couple of weeks ago to an "icebreaker" as a prelude to a 25th reunion, and I am thinking that I certainly am not as old as most of those folks. My husband never ever attends these things with me, he didn't have fond memories of H.S. so, I go with a group of my friends, those whom I have remained close with over the years, those whom are the best group of folks that I could ask for in my life. It is amazing, we see each other a lot, and get together a lot, so we all asked the question: What are we dong hanging out here, when we could do this anytime we want????? But it was neat to see some people and how they have changed or not changed. Glad you had a nice time.Mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152572454710496872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344828.post-47551621338619990562008-06-01T04:28:00.000-07:002008-06-01T04:28:00.000-07:00Cliff ~ I hope you got all you seed in the ground ...Cliff ~ I hope you got all you seed in the ground prior to the rain?

I was worried about you after watching the Weather Channel on Thursday night. So much so that I got out the atlas to see exactly where you were in relation to the storms.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you got a new rain gauge. We need a new one too. When ours had a leak my husband put glue on the bottom to seal it up. That's been several years ago and I really hated to change it.
