I will post a few messages later about how I enjoy the messages on its site. For now, I'm writing to let everyone know of someone in our class and possibly more about the massive flooding in the Hill Country. If you haven't seen the unbelievable flooding, it may be the worst ever in Texas. I just saw on the news how the heavy water flow through Georgetown Texas. Necia Hart, and I think her son live in Georgetown. Hopefully,they are out of harms way, and safe.

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Fourth of July. The Peoria fireworks were awesome. I try to make sure my patriotism and the love and appreciation of my freedom is on full display on the Fourth. This photo was my way of showing it.

Marvin, Loved the pictures of you and Judy at the Peoria Fireworks. I've alway thought they would be awesome to see but have never gone there. Your house looks very patriotic with the flags.

Jim, how did Muffin do with the fireworks? My son has a Boxer who is really scared of loud noices. They got calming pills for him and then he took him to his theater room, which is almost sound proof and he didn't hear many of the neightbors fireworks. Other than the fireworks, how is she doing?

How do you like my new rechargeable neck fan ! Anxious to get it outside in the heat and see if it does the job.

Three speeds and ajustable to blow where I want it ! It was really warm in church Sunday and I was really perspiring.... I told Carol I may just take this along next Sunday ! Anyone dare me to try it there ?

PS: NOTE I am wearing an appropriate raider color shirt !

From my previous post, I guess everyone who may have been affected by the flood waters, is OK. And, as I said, I have always enjoyed everything people post on the site. It's interesting, funny, enjoyable, and often times educational. I used to post conveying awhile, but ground myself not taking the time. As of recently, I have a bit more time. So, here is a funny I liked.

Little boy asked his grandfather:

Grandpa, can you croak like a frog?

The grandfather replied: why sure I can. Why do you ask?

The little boy said: Bescause grandma said, as soon as you croak like a frog, we're all going on a vacation to Hawaii.

Hey Jim, we have some similar coolers for around the neck.

Unfortunately, at 95 to 98, down here in Texas, they don't cool as much as we'd like. Anything is better than nothing though.

I thought I would share one of my favorite photos. It's my daughter Mēgan's birthday today. It was taken at her wedding with her siblings last September in Austin, TX.

Also, it's nice to see Rod Hayes' comments again. I've always enjoyed reading his perspective on issues.

Blessings to you!

Sue - Fun photo of your family. They look like they have a great friendship as siblings.

Good to see Rod back on site. Let's hear from more of you silent observers.

Sandy - Love the puzzle story and how delicately the neighbor handled it. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be that confused.

Dave - Very cute cartoon. Goes to show you you can't trust anyone. Dennis the Menace asked his Minister after church if there were realy only ten commandments cause' his Mom had a hundred of 'em.

Jim - I saw a young lady with one of those neck fans at the fireworks show. I suggested she put little baskets under each side to put ice in to cool the air. Let me know how that worksout! I assume you will not be able to resist trying it.

Hopefully none of our classmates have been impacted by the very sad Texas flooding. I used to go "tubing" in that area when I lived in Texas years ago. It is hard to imagine such devastation and loss of life in what was such a peaceful setting.

Below is a contribution to the lighter side of what concerns we have to look forward to as we get older.

This may be worth a chuckle:

MLB player shows up for Sunday services. After the service, on the way out, the Pastor tells him it was great to see him, and hopefully he'll attend more. The player said, well, I work a lot on Sundays. The Pastor says, I work almost every Sunday, but I'm in the right field. The player responds, me too. Doesn't the sun get in your eyes a lot.
