Staff Appreciation

We each received an arrangement as part of staff appreciation by the Flower Committee at work. Certainly brightened up my office.

Happy Birthday, Susan!

So cute.

Tiled Staircase

Actually, the risers are not tiled but stenciled. A woman at my office and her mother did this at the mother's home.

Why Fix It?

Why not just post a caution sign and leave the broken shards of glass?

And the Emmy Goes To ...

It wasn't to Hayden but we were excited to actually see one up close. Jan Parkinson won it in 1990 for the Hallmark Hall of Fame production of "Caroline?" and he had it at church as part of a presentation he was making to our youth.

Wind Casualty

Our neighbor's fence fell victim to our intense winds. When she and her dad tried to fix it, another piece fell. Apparently it has some issues.

Blush at Dusk

We've had some powerful sunsets lately.

Ice Straw

Apparently someone's drink froze in their car in these extreme temperatures so they just dumped it out. Holding its form nicely, even at mid-afternoon.

Government Service

Steve is with Dad and Gov. George Docking in 1959 in Topeka. You can tell he is paging in the Senate from his white button. (House pages had red buttons.)

Rising Ice

In the near zero temperatures yesterday morning, this fountain was building an ice base as the water continued to flow.

Is It Pink Enough?

No signs of Mary Kay on it so I think it's just a personal choice.

Bright Food

I was impressed by how colorful Hayden's mini pot pies were.

Can You See the Wind?

The real question is can you photograph the wind. I found it a difficult task. I'd be OK if it subsided for awhile.

Wedgie Free

It's good to know that you will be "wedgie free - no ride up" when reading this book. The sticker was stuck on the book when Hayden got it from the library.

Adding Finials

As exterior work on Country Club Christian Church nears completion, they are adding the replacement finials. Considering how high those are, this is not a job I would desire. The wire is anchoring the finials, not the workers. They are on their own.
