Old Cars and a Knobby Knees Kid

Other places on the internet it's Throw Back Thursday so I'll use this photo here too. The year is 1934 and I was three years old. This was at my grandma's house in Halstead, KS.

April Twenty-Ninth

This date has many interesting events occurring on it....Hitler's wedding, Prince William and Kate's wedding, Willie Nelson's birthday and..........a blind date with my future husband. He's the one on the left in a photo taken in 1952. Yes, sixty-three years ago today and he hasn't been out of my thoughts and life since! We must have known it was the right thing from the beginning because three and a half months later, we were married.

Lost Flowers

We have a fairly large back yard. In one corner there is an area of some type of lily and this year some white flowers like the ones in these photos appeared. There were quite a few of them. Two days ago as L. was mowing, he saw these three little ones on the other side of the yard - well away from the group. He is mowing around them to see if they will spread.

Personalized Advertising

This brightly colored ad came in the mail Saturday. At first glance, I thought it was directed to my husband - to buy me this necklace that has engraved on the reverse ("the side against your heart") that he loves me. However, I read the script and it is directed to ME - to buy this to show that I love him. The diamonds are real and all for only $99 plus free diamond earrings. How could a wife go wrong? I think I'll pass. He knows it already. The yellow sticky note from the Humane Society is to hide our address. As if anything is private anymore!

The bush L. planted a few years ago is looking very nice! Wish the flowers lasted longer through the spring and summer.

Unknown Volunteer White Flowers

And some toad stools.

Two Trip Shopping

Today was grocery shopping day. The first trip was made and we forgot a couple of things. So another trip was made. While I waited in the car, L. went in to pick up the items we needed (?) One reason we went today was because of the new TOR CON 6 warning. This is so much more convenient than the old "Tornado watch" from the weather bureau. It's hard to keep up with these new terms. I had to Google TOR CON.
