SPRING IN FRANKVILLE

I KNOW, I KNOW IT HAS BEEN AWHILE, BUT LIKE REX WROTE A FEW BLOGS BACK, WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS NICE IN THE MIDWEST THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN SIT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER. TODAY IS NOT SO GREAT, COLD, CLOUDY AND VERY WINDY, SMALL RAIN SHOWER. BUT YESTERDAY WAS OK, SO HARLIE KAY AND I VENTURED UP TO AN ABANDONED SWING SET IN THE OLD BANK YARD. THE PEOPLE THAT USE TO RUN IT, LEFT IT THERE AND SHE LOVED IT. YOU SOUTHERNS THAT MISS THE MIDWEST'S SPRING FLOWER THAT POPS UP EVERYWHERE CAN ENJOY THEM IN THE PICTURES ALSOUPDATE ON THE WEEK, LAST WEEKEND I WENT TO THE DRAKE RELAYS WITH A STUDENT ATHLETE, BLAINE GRINNA (son of gary & nancy). HE RAN THE 400 HURDLES AND METALED WITH 5TH PLACE. SO THAT WAS EXCITING. I HAD NEVER BEEN TO THE RELAYS, IT WAS ALOT OF FUN. THE WHITE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES DEFINITELY ARE THE MINORITIES OF THE RELAYS. HAD A FEW TRACK MEETS, HAVE 2 LEFT TO HOST AT POSTVILLE, YAHOOOOO. PROM LAST SATURDAY NIGHT EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY, SO THAT'S IS ALWAYS GOOD TOO.

BEEN BUSY ALSO PLANNING MY 25TH CLASS REUNION. THE 25 YR CLASS IS ALSO IN CHARGE OF POSTVILLE ALUMNI BANQUET, SO THERE ARE ADDED THINGS TO THE PLANNING. HARD TO BELIEVE 25 YRS AGO WHEN WE WERE OUT ON ROAD TOUR WE STOPPED AT THE SUPPER CLUB SO I COULD HAVE SOME MASHED POTATOES BETWEEN COCKTAILS. THE THOUGHT OF DRINKING SEVERAL BEERS EATING MASHED POTATOES AND DRINKING MORE BEER IS NOT TO APPEALING TO ME NOW. I THINK IT WAS JUDY'S WAY OF THINKING AT LEAST I GOT SOMETHING TO EAT TO SOAK UP THE BEER.

SPEAKING OF COCKTAILS, MY PARTNER IN CRIME (tracey)HAS BEEN CALLING ME FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW TO GET TOGETHER AND WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THAT DONE SO SUMMER NEEDS TO COME SOON. NEED TO GET READY FOR THE LOONEY HOOLEY, JULY 7TH ALSO.

YESTERDAY WE ATTEND TREVOR FEICKETS WEDDING, NICE SMALL WEDDING, RECEPTION WAS IN GUTTENBERG, SO EVERYONE WAS ON GOOD BEHAVIOR, LONG WAYS FROM GUTTENBERG TO FRANKVILLE. TRAVIS GETS MARRIED IN AUGUST, SO THE FEICKETS ARE BUSY WITH WEDDINGS. LOTS OF GRADUATIONS INVITES COMING. FIRST ONE NEXT WEEKEND, DACIA'S OLDEST ONE BRENT.

FARMERS ARE PLANTING FULL FORCE NOW. KENT SAID THIS MORNING HE SHOULD FINISH HIS CORN AND THEN ON TO BEANS.

I NOTICED IN MY SISTERS BLOG SHE KEEPS BRINGING UP HER BIRTHDAY THIS MONTH, BUT I ALSO NOTICED SHE KEEPS FORGETTING TO TELL HOW OLD SHE IS GOING TO BE. WELL THIS IS HER 60TH BIRTHDAY.

I BETTER CLOSE ON THAT, BECAUSE I'M SURE I WILL BE IN TROUBLE NOW.
KAYLA & KORI ARE OUT MUSHROOM HUNTING, SO ON THE NEXT BLOG I HOPE I CAN SHOW A PAN OF MORELS FRYING, THAT WILL GET YOUR TASTE BUDS GOING REX!!!
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, I WILL TRY AND BLOG AGAIN THIS WEEK AND REMIND YA HOW OLD MY SISTER IS GOING TO BE 60. THERE ARE SOME GOOD STORIES ABOUT HER 50TH PARTY, BUT THAT WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BLOG.
