FAIR TIME

HERE IN NORTHEAST IOWA, ALL THE LITTLE COUNTY FAIRS ARE ALWAYS A BIG HIT, WELL LAST WEEKEND WAS ALLAMAKEE CO. AND HARLIE KAY SHOWED A CALF IN THE PEE WEE DAIRY SHOW. HERE ARE THE RESULTS
SHE HAD TO TUG ALITTLE
PINK WAS THE THEME FOR THESE TWO, PINK BOOTS AND PINK RIBBONS IN THE HAIR AND ON THE CALF. I ASKED PAPA DAVE MILLER, IF HE EVER DREAMED HE WOULD BRING A COW TO THE FAIR WITH PINK RIBBONS, HIS COMMENTS ARE NOT PRINTABLE. SHE DID GET A RIBBON, BUT SHE WOULDN'T LET ME TAKE A PICTURE OF IT WHEN SHE WAS DONE. THE CALF DID LAY DOWN ON HER ONCE AND SHE KICKED IT TO GET IT BACK UP, I SAID TO KORI, I HOPE SHE IS NOT USING BARN LANGUAGE AS SHE IS KICKING IT.

CAN'T THINK OF ALOT OF NEWS, EXCEPT ALL THE POSTVILLE CRAP AND YOU CAN READ THAT ON MY SISTERS BLOG. FIRE MEETING TOMORROW, SO THAT MAY BRING UP SOME NEWS, SEEMS TO ALWAYS STIR UP TROUBLE. FIRE DEPT IS IN THE PROCESS OF PLANNING A 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION LABOR DAY WEEKEND.

HAVE TO REPORT BACK TO WORK FULL TIME ON FRIDAY, BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO CUT THAT DAY SHORT AND ATTEND THE IRISH FEST IN WATERLOO, WITH BARB AND TONY AND ANYONE ELSE THAT DECIDES TO BRAVE THE HOT WEATHER.

ROCK N ROLL WEEKEND

HAD A GREAT WEEKEND OF ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC. FRIDAY NIGHT WENT TO THE GREAT JONES CO. FAIR FOR THE BOSTON CONCERT. LARGEST CROWD EVER AT THE FAIR. CONCERT WAS GOOD, AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK COUSIN MARTY, AND NEPHEW CHRIS FOR HELPING WITH THE TICKETS. ALWAYS A GOOD TIME AT THE GREAT JONES CO FAIR. JUST WISH THEY WOULDN'T WAIT SO LONG TO LET US KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE NEXT YEAR. WE SAW FOREIGNER 2 YRS AGO AND CHICAGO LAST YEAR. ON SATURDAY MORNING WE DECIDED THE WEATHER WAS GOING TO COOPERATE, SO WE VENTURED ON TO IOWA CITY TO RIVERSIDE CASINO/GOLF RESORT TO CHECK ON ROOMS AND TICKETS FOR THE REO SPEEDWAGON CONCERT. AND TRACEY NEEDED A GAMBLING FIX. WE WERE TOLD LOTS OF TICKETS LEFT, BUT NO ROOMS. WELL THAT WASN'T GOING TO WORK, SO TRACEY USED HER SMOOTH SCHAGER CHARMED AND TALKED TO SOMEONE IN THE VIP ROOM AND GOT A US A ROOM. SO SOME US DID ALITTLE GAMBLING AND SPENT THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON BY THE POOL WITH COCKTAILS, WHILE TRACEY GOT HER GAMBLING FIX. REO SPEEDWAGON CONCERT WAS ALSO OUTDOORS AND IT WAS GREAT, THEY WERE JUST AS GOOD AS THEY WERE BACK IN 1982, WHEN I SAW THEM IN THE UNI DOME. SOUNDS LIKE TRACEY AND MYSELF MAY TURN INTO ROCK N ROLL JUNKIES. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT JOURNEY & CHEAP TRICK ARE TOURING TOGETHER. RIVERSIDE CASINO MENTIONED THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ACDC OR SUPERTRAMP.

CAN'T THINK OF ALOT OF NEWS, POSTVILLE MADE THE FRONT PAGE OF THE GAZETTE YESTERDAY AND THE SPORTS SECTION TODAY AND WENT I WAS UP TOWN FOR LUNCH NEWS 13 WAS IN TOWN. I'M GETTING ALITTLE PISSY ABOUT ALL THIS MEDIA CRAP. THE NEWS BUSINESS MUST BE BORING IF THEY HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK HERE, LOOKING FOR STORIES. I SAY FINE THE JEWS AND LET THE REST OF THE TOWN GET BACK TO NORMAL.

I'M FINISHING UP SOME WORK AT SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER AND HAVE TO BE BACK TO WORK HERE FULL-TIME ON AUG 1ST. TOMORROW WE ARE TAKING KORI'S SENIOR PICTURES AND NEED TO FINISH UP SOME WEDDING PLANS WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. THAT'S IT FOR NOW. IF ANY OF MY READERS LIKE TO COOK. YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT THAT HUNGRY BUTTON ON THE BLOG PAGE, ITS A GET RECIPE SITE. THAT'S ALL FOR NOW

IT PAYS TO BLOG

RECEIVED A SURPRISE CALL THIS am FROM AMY RECHSTEINER, SHE HAD READ MY SISTERS BLOG, ABOUT HOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR PAPER TO MAKE KAYLA'S WEDDING INVITES. WELL AMY HAS A STAMPIN UP BUSINESS THAT SELLS ALL KINDS OF SCRAP BOOKING STUFF. SHE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT COLOR OF RED WE ARE LOOKING FOR. BUT SHE WANTS TO SEE THE DRESS, SO HERE IT IS AMY
I'M NOT SURE IF THE PICTURES, SHOW THE COLOR RIGHT, BUT I DID LOOK AT THE TAG AMY, AND ITS CALLED CLARET RED, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. ANY WAY AMY IS GOING TO BE SENDING ME SOME SAMPLES OF PAPER AND HOPEFULLY ONE WILL MATCH. SOUNDS LIKE THE AUNTS AND COUSINS WILL HAVE A FEW WEEKENDS OF MAKING MINTS AND INVITES. THAT WILL MAKE FOR SOME GOOD PICTURES AND BLOGGING. BECAUSE US SISTERS CAN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING WITH OUT FOOD AND DRINK, SO THIS WILL TAKE SOME PLANNING. NOW I'M WONDERING HOW WE WILL GET MINTS TO BE CLARET RED. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I THINK THAT IS IT FOR TODAY. GOLF DAY, HEADED TO THE COURSE, SUNNY & HUMID MAKES FOR A GREAT DAY OF GOLF AND COCKTAILS. SPEAKING OF COCKTAILS, MY COCKTAIL FRIEND TRACEY (thats what sister barb calls us) AND I HAVE A ROCK n ROLL WEEKEND PLANNED. WE ARE MAKING OUR ANNUAL TRIP TO THE GREAT JONES CO. FAIR TO SEE BOSTON. EVERY YEAR THEY HAVE SOME 70'S - 80'S BAND, AND THE CONCERT IS SPONSORED BY DALE LEE DIST. WHICH IS WHERE COUSIN MARTY WORKS, SO GETTING GREAT TICKETS IS A BREEZE. AND WE JUST CAN'T PASS UP THAT GREAT HIPPIE MUSIC,THAT'S ON FRIDAY, AND WE ARE NOW THINKING ABOUT STAYING ANOTHER NIGHT AND TRAVELING TO IOWA CITY TO RIVERSIDE CASINO FOR THE REO SPEEDWAGON CONCERT, WE SAW THEM WHEN WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL AT THE UNI DOME. ITS A GENERAL ADMISSION CONCERT, SO IT WON'T SELL OUT, SO WE THINK WE CAN DECIDE SATURDAY MORNING, IF WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OLD ROCK n ROLL MUSIC.

HEY ALL YOU PACKER FANS, IS HE OR ISN'T HE????????????????????????? WHAT A DUMB ASS
AND ANHEUSER BUSCH SELLING, WHATS UP WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BELATED 4TH

NOT ALOT OF EXCITEMENT IN FRANKVILLE ON THE 4TH. WE FINISHED THE FIRE PIT AND STARTED ANOTHER PROJECT
WE JUST NEED TO DECIDE WHAT TO PUT AROUND IT, THE KIDS HAVE USED IT ALOT, AND MOVED A GRILL ON THE SITE FOR COOKING
AND THE NEW PROJECT IS A NEW DECK OFF THE BACK
THIS WILL MAKE IT EASY ACCESS TO THE BATHROOM FROM THE FIRE PIT. MORE WORK ON THAT THIS WEEKEND I GUESS. BESIDES THAT IT WAS JUST GOLFING AND WATCHING FIREWORKS AT DOUG KOENIG THIS YEAR.
BUSY THIS WEEK WITH BALL GAMES, WE HOST SEVERAL EVENTS, MAINLY BECAUSE WE ARE CENTRALLY LOCATED FOR SEVERAL TEAMS. THE LADY PIRATES WON THEIR FIRST DISTRICT GAME AND LOST LAST NIGHT TO KEE, LANSING. THE BASEBALL TEAM, LIKE ALWAYS WAS PAIRED UP WITH KEE(USUALLY STATE CHAMPS EVER YEAR) AND LOST 31-1, YES YOU ARE READING THAT RIGHT. SO THE SUMMER SEASONS ARE OVER. BUT WE ARE HOSTING 2 MORE DISTRICT BASEBALL GAMES THIS WEEK(GET TO WATCH KEE WIN SOME MORE). I NEED TO BACK TRACK AND FINISH MY BLOGGING ON STATE WRESTLING AND TRACK, ETHAN SNITKER DID VERY WELL THIS TRACK SEASON. HAVE A FEW PICTURES TO SHARE TO FINISH THAT MAYBE THE NEXT BLOG.
BUT HERE IS THE UPDATE ON THE COON. YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO THE GARAGE AND OPENED THE DOOR, I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK, SOMETHING STARTED JUMPING AROUND IN COON CAGE AND THE TRAP DOOR WAS DOWN. CALLED THE BROTHER SAID I THINK WE GOT HIM, AFTER I TOLD HIM OF THE JUMPING AROUND PART, HE SAID I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK AGAIN


I GUESS HE WAS RIGHT, BOY WAS SHE ONE PISSED OFF CAT. DON'T THINK THE COON IS COMING BACK.

I GUESS THAT IS IT FOR NEWS, JUST HELPING KAYLA WITH THE FINAL WEDDING PLANS. NEED TO MAKE A WALMART RUN THIS AFTERNOON.

REDNECK PROM

HERE IS FRANKVILLE'S FIRST PROM KING AND QUEEN
KING - DENNIS COOK QUEEN - KARLA KLEPPER JOHNSON, SHE SHOWED UP AS A PREGNANT RED NECK

WE WERE LATE GETTING THERE BECAUSE DOUG WAS IN A GOLF TOURN AND WE STOPPED AT MICHAELS FOR THE FIRE PIT, WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE IS WAS RAINING, SO WE SAT IN THE GARAGE. SO IT WAS TYPICAL PROM WEATHER COLD AND RAINY. BUT HERE WAS THEIR ARCH FOR THE GRAND MARCH
SORRY I SEE ITS KIND OF DARK. BUT THERE WERE LOTS PEOPLE DRESSED IN THEIR FINEST.
HERE ARE THE KLEPPER CHILDREN
REX YOU ASKED ABOUT AUD, SO SHE WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT TO SEE HER GARTER
SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T THINK OF A BETTER PLACE FOR STICK UP - AIR FRESHENER

THE QUEEN EVEN GOT DOUGLAS TO SHAKE A LEG
AND 2 OF FRANKVILLE'S FINEST BABES

SOUNDS LIKE THIS WILL BE AN ANNUAL EVENT, TIME WILL TELL
UPDATE ON THE COON, TRAP IS REPAIRED AND LOREN PUT IN BACK IN THE GARAGE LATE FRIDAY, AND STILL THIS MORNING NO COON, HE MUST BE REALLY PISSED OFF ABOUT HAVING TO CHEW HIS WAY OUT AND IS NOT COMING BACK. LOREN CALLED THIS MORNING AND SAID THROW SOME MARSHMALLOWS IN THERE TONIGHT, SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

RACOON

THIS IS A CONTAINER THAT I KEEP MY DOG FOOD IN, IN OUR GARAGE. WEDNESDAY MORNING I FIND IT TIPPED OVER, BUT NOT CHEWED UP,NOT THINKING A WHOLE LOT ABOUT IT. FRANKVILLE ONLY HAS HUNDREDS OF STRAY ANIMALS RUNNING AROUND. THURSDAY MORNING I FIND IT TIPPED OVER AGAIN AND FIND THIS:


HE SHOULD NOT HAVE LEFT TRACKS

SO OF COURSE WHEN THERE IS TROUBLE AT HOME,IT NEVER FAILS THE HUSBAND CALLS AND SAYS HE WILL NOT BE HOME UNTIL LATE FRIDAY. SO WHATS A SISTER TO DO, BUT CALL A BROTHER, LOREN HAS A COON TRAP


HE SETS THE TRAP, USES DOG FOOD OF COURSE FOR BAIT, THATS SEEMS TO BE WHAT HE IS AFTER. I MOVE THE DOG FOOD CONTAINER INSIDE OUR OLD EXPLORER SITTING BY THE GARAGE. AND WE WAIT UNTIL THIS MORNING. I LISTEN TO THE DOGS GROWL ALL NIGHT AND I'M THINKING OH GOOD THEY CAN HEAR THE COON TRAPPED IN THE CAGE. PLAN IS LOREN IS DONE WITH WORK THIS MORNING AT 8:00 AM, HE WILL BE OUT TO PICK UP THE COON AND HAUL IT AWAY TO SOME GUY THAT IS TRYING TO TRAIN SOME COON DOGS, GOOD PLAN.
I GO OUT THIS MORNING, DOOR IS DOWN ON THE TRAP AND NO %#$%#^ COON. I CALLED LOREN SAID THE DOOR IS DOWN, BUT NO COON. OF COURSE TYPICAL MAN, SAYS YOU DIDN'T LOOK, IF THE DOOR IS DOWN HE HAS TO BE IN THERE LOOK AGAIN. LOOKED AGAIN, ALITTLE CLOSER THIS TIME AND I SEE IT
THE BASTARD CHEWED THE BOARDS UP AND GOT OUT
LOREN COMES OUT, SAYS A FEW UNPRINTABLE WORDS, GOING TO TAKE IT HOME, FIX IT AND WILL BE BACK THIS AFTERNOON, FOR ANOTHER TRY AT THE COON.
THANK GOD DOUGLAS WILL BE HOME TOMORROW MORNING TO CHECK THE TRAP.
THATS MY STORY FOR TODAY
