TOO MUCH RAIN

Since Sunday we have had over 9 inches of rain. Yesterday morning a spot in the yard exploded like a volcano, no lava, just walnuts --some squirrel is not going to be to happy. The hole was big enough Kori could put her whole hand and arm in it. The first 2 pictures on the creek that runs behind the house which never has any water in it. ONLY IN FRANKVILLE WILL YOU SEE A VOLCANO OF WALNUTS!!!!

RECHSTEINERS, DO THE FOLLOWING LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU. I HAD A LADY REMAT AND FRAME FOR THE KIDS FOR CHRISTMAS. THEN THEY HAD TO CHOSE WHO WAS TAKING WHICH PICTURE. I CAN'T TELL YOU THE RESULTS BECAUSE KAYLA LEFT EARLY, AND THEY HADNT DECIDED BY THE TIME SHE LEFT, LAST I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO DRAW FOR THEM.

ALL WAS WELL IN FRANKVILLE FOR CHRISTMAS, EXCEPT THE WEATHER. WE DID MAKE IT TO BARBS FOR DINNER TODAY, BUT HOME AGAIN, ITS SUPPOSE TO START FREEZING RAIN AND THEN TURN TO A PILE OF SNOW

HOPE YOUR HOLIDAYS WENT WELL ALSO

SPRING IN IOWA

TIRED OF THE HARASSMENT ABOUT BLOGGING, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GET THE TASTE BUDS GOING FOR THOSE THAT DON'T LIVE IN IOWA
WHEN WE WERE YOUNGSTERS, FOR YEARS THE MUSHROOM HUNTING SEASON STARTED ON MOTHERS DAY. SO WE CARRIED THE TRADITION OVER TO OUR KIDS YESTERDAY AND HAD SUCCESS. WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER AMBROSE & GLORIA WOULD LOAD US UP AND HEAD TOWARDS WAUKON, HARPERS, WATERVILLE, ALWAYS HAD MASS AT CHERRY MOUND. I THINK THE RECHSTEINERS TRAVELED HOME IN THEIR LITTLE RED GREMLIN A TIME OR TWO FOR THE FAMILY TRADITION. WE WERE IN WOODS, THAT PEOPLE NOW WOULD SHOT YA, IF THEY KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. SO YESTERDAY WE STAYED LOCAL, OF COURSE WHEN YOU FIND SOME IT'S ALWAYS A SECRET WHERE YOU FOUND THEM, SO DON'T ASK.

KAYLA SAYS I HAVE TO ADMIT THE BIG YELLOW ONE, HER FATHER-IN-LAW FOUND EARLIER YESTERDAY MORNING. I SEE BY MY SISTERS BLOG SHE PAID GOOD MONEY FROM SOME, WONDER WHAT SHE WOULD PAY ME FOR THE REMAINING OF OURS WE DIDNT GET COOKED LAST NIGHT.
SO OUR MEAL CONSISTED OF MUSHROOMS AND MABE'S PIZZA,IT WAS A GOOD MOTHERS DAY IN FRANKVILLE
BESIDES TRYING TO GET READY FOR KORI'S GRADUATION, NOT ALOT HAPPENING AROUND HERE.
A NEW ADDITION TO THE RED NECK CORNER, I WILL HAVE TO GET MY CAMERA UP THERE AND POST THE NEW ADDITION.

PROM PICTURES MAYBE THE NEXT BLOG ---- THIS WAS JUST A TEASER

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
