Nedra's County Fair Prizes

Nedra participated in the competitions of many classes (food, flowers, canning) in our recent local county fair. The competition was pretty intense with lots of local women and men entering.
She had a big win under the 'Herb' catagory with her Garlic Chives plant winning First Prize and also the coveted 'Best of Show' Blue Ribbon. Her entries of "Perkins Cascade" Red Rose Florabunda and her Cornbread Muffins both won Second Places spots and Red Ribbons and her "Peanut" Cactus won Third Place and a White Ribbon. She was also rewarded with a little cash for her wins. She had numerous other canning entries that failed to place and should have 'cause they are good! She is real happy with what she did win. She is planning now on entering into the neighboring county's fair in September.

My Dead Oak Tree

Pic is of my oak tree, planted about ten years ago. Has been a really pretty tree but this year gave up the ghost. Dunno what killed it; been really dry here this summer and someone told me there is a oak tree blight going around. CSI could probably clear this up for me.

Little Rock next stop.

Will be in Little Rock this week for Nedra's regular four month check up. Should be back by Friday night. Shes feeling good so we expect good reports again on all her tests.

Got a new laptop and excited over new piece of technology. Its wireless so I hope I can connect in LR.

Heres a pic of some LR dawgs.

Move along.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Van Morrison

Saw Van The Man in concert at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA courtesy of the UgsomeCur who furnished tickets, transportation and housing for this humble one. Thanks again Ug!
Go to his blog for a detailed play list of the concert. Van was in fine shape with a strong voice and blowing a rightous sax. Been a long time Van fan and it was a real treat to see him in concert. The band was tight and had a steel guitar and fiddle player prominent on his recent songs. Was a predominantly grey haired crowd...looked like an ex-hippy convention...only upscale. The crowd was singing along and on their wobbly feet at the end of concert. Only complaint I had was the dragonbreath dude sitting next to me who had a plate of garlic for din-din.

National Underwear Day

For whatever its worth, today is National Underwear Day.
Be sure yours are clean and don't have holes. You might end up in the hospital.
Damn, your mother's words just stay with you forever.
